LITTLE SIGNS OF PEACE
FOUND ON 1897 HORIZON
Eastern Hemisphere Full of War Fuses
With Any Number of Clashing
Interests to Ignite Them.

ton. Italian planes from Ethiopia, in
stead of being beaten into plowshares,
were winging their way to Spanish
Morocco; italian money, sorely need
ed at home, was being poured into the
war chest of the Spanish rebels; Ital-
ian soldiers and sailors, who had been
promised an opportunity to share in
the fruits Of victorious peace, we're
being sent to battle against the Span
ish republican government.
Germany has for years been COM
planning that her peace overtures were
ignored. She has insisted on making
a distinction between Western cul-
ture and Eastern barbarism, proclaim-
ing that. if France and England
would leave of trying to protect
Asiatics, Germany would guarantee
Is years of peace in Western Europe.
Germany Participant.
Instead Of that, Germany has sent
not only hundreds Of shiploads Of war
material to the Spanish rebels, not
only military instructors, engineers
and airmen. but complete regiments
Of trained troops. These forces, to-
gether with the Moroccan and Afri-
can troops Of Gen. Franco and the
Spanish foreign legion, are fighting
in the name Of Western culture
against, principally, the Catalonian
people, who, of all the many races in
Spain, are by Universal admission the
most Western and the most civilized
1t Is idle to hope that by giving
them satisfaction in Spain any diff
Guilty will be solved. The Italo-Ger.
man crusade against bolshevism,
which, as I have had occasion to
point out before, with documents in
support, Is in reality thinly camou-
f1aged crusade against democracy, will
continue.
And the tragic menace In this cru.
sade is that Germany cannot possibly
get at Russia without trampling down
two or three other nations that have
neither alliance nor even sympathy
with Moscow. Germany is separated
from Russia by a chain Of buffer
states, from the Baltic nations on the
north to the Black Sea, including Po.
land, Czechoslovakia and Rumania.
One may say: Perhaps Germany
will not attack. Perhaps it will be
Russia that takes the initiative"
II we try to imagine an unprovoked
Russian attack on any Of those buffer
states, with the intention of invading
Germany, we Immediately picture all
Europe flying to arms against the
Soviets. Not single European nation
Of importance would tolerate q Rus
sian aggression westward. Germany
would find herself with more friends
than she has had at any time since
Napoleon the Great And Germany
must know 1t.

ed the United States had been ca
priciously interpreted by the authori-
ties of the Canal Zone. with the result
that they had seriously interfered
with the attributes of sovereignty of
the Panaman government and with
the individual rights an businesses
of the citizens of Panama.
On the other hand, the profits de-
rived from the commercial activities
created. by the canal had gone not
to the Panaman people, but to
United States interests, to the COM
missaries Of the Canal Zone and to
enterprises of the United States Gov
ernment which were advantageously
competing with the local ones.
The new treaty, which will soon be
In operation, is intended to correct
this state of affairs, the source Of
much controversy and resentment IN
the past and potential danger for
the future.
The new treaty may be described in
a few words as a transition from a
unilateral arrangement, of submis-
sion of the weaker nation to the
stronger, to a two-sided agreement
on a pla nof equality and joint re-
sponsibility between two countries
which have interests in common. 1t
substitutes cooperation for oppres-
sion.
Therein lies the significance of the
new pact. Nothing that extremists
in both countries may say against it
will obscure the fact that this is an
attempt to substitute a regime of law
and reciprocity where there was one
of force and imposition, poorly dis
guised BY mSconstruction of the origi-
nal canal treaty.
Put Nations on New Basis.
The abolition of the guarantee Of
Panaman independence and the
right OF intervention by the United
States, both detrimental to the SOW
ereignty of Panama; the remuneration
by the United States of the privilege
to secure additional land beyond the
limits of the Canal Zone; the recog-
milton of the principle that Panama
sis entitled to take advantage OF the
commercial opportunities inherent in
her geographical situation; the ad-
mission Of the Panaman claim with
reference to the canal annuity, and
the further concessions made by the
United States with regard to corri-
dors, construction Of highway across
the isthmus, operation OF radio sta
tions, etc.. are all intended to place
the relations of the two countries on
q basis of friendly cooperation with
out sacrificing anything that is es-
sential for the maintenance, opera
ton, sanitation and protection" Of
the Panama Canal by the United
States.
That Is, instead of q situation in
which one Of the parties claimed
arbitrarily and exercised series OF
PRIVILEGES which were alternating the
good will of the other, there is now
to be established q new relationship,
IN which the two parties bind them
selves to respect each others rights
and to discharge the responsibilities
which, the existence of the canal places
upon them.
This new relationship will be by
far the most far-reaching benefit de-
rived by both countries from the
treaty, for all other considerations
must be subordinated to the degree
of harmony and cooperation existing
at any time between the two nations
most interested In the defense and

Million Germans Wed
Under Loans System

That more than 100000 young
Germans have taken advantage of
the government loans to those not
financially able to marry has been
announced in Berlin.
The plan Is reported to have had
great and far reaching social effects.
Many of the girls who married under
the law gave up paid work In fac
tories to found homes, which have
proved to be happy, with healthy and
well-cared for children.
The law provides that loans up to
$3.50 be lent to healthy young Ger
man men and women wishing to wed,
the loan being repayable. without in
terest, at the rate of one per cent a
month.

asking and receiving the cooperation
Of the government until the expenses
of his brain children began to strain
heavily upon the army's $18,000,000
budget. Then the trouble started.
Ofhcials of the Gomez administra-
tion felt Batista was not only over
stepping his budget, but also overstep-
ping his bounds as back-seat driver.
At first small groups Of Gomezistas
developed into an important array Of
politicos, who pitted themselves against
further finances for the army project.
One Gomez representative shouted
in alarm. "Fascism is upon u.s." charg-
ing Batista's movement threatened
democracy. But the furry Of oppo-
sition did not halt the army chief,
who firmly proceeded to outline the
necessities Of his rural program and
via legislative channels turned to rich
sugar interests for the finances, draw
ing up bill to establish a 9-cent tax
on all bags of sugar produced in Cuba.
He estimated this would produce
81 900 900 annually.
Batista's new-found strength was
demonstrated clearly when, after only
short deliberation. the Senate passed
the bill almost unanimously. Until
this point, Gomez avoided offering
personal opposition to the project, but
the Senate action brought from him
scathing comments and the request
that the House defeat the bill Such
a move was unfortunate for Gomez,
because it irked Batista to such an
extent that he marshaled forces that
not only resulted in a sweeping VIC
tory for him in the House of Repre-
sentatives, but paved the way for the
Gomez impeachment.
And for the first time since his 1888
coup, his dominant figure stepped from
behind the scenes to command the
political horizon of this island repub-
lie, which is, geographically and his
torically, closer to the North American
democracy than any other nation out
side the bounds of the United States.
Batista is said to be friendly toward
American interests, but it is no longer
a secret that his political tactics are
strikingly the opposite to those of "the
good nelghbor" nation of President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

England Lays Claim
To Smallest Churches

LONDON.-England claims some of
the smallest churches on record. The
restored church Of Cullone, on Ex-
moor. measuring 30 feet long and II
feet wide, challenges the little Dorset
Church. which is 23 feet by IA feet.
Thus it is doubtful II there Is any
church in England smaller than this.
Still another claim has been made
for two other churches-one at Hunt
ingdonshire, the Little Gliding. and
Boveney on the Thames in Bucking-
Upleatham Church in
Yorkshire, whose present dimensions
are given as II feet by IS feet, Is
easily the smallest, but 1t is only .
fragment Of the original church.

PAIS.-The announcement this
week that Great Britain and France
are replacing their legations in Adds
foundly the diplomatic alignment of
Europe. It marks, Of course, only a
de facto recognition by these two
countries Of Italy's conquest of Ethi-
opia. De jure recognition can only
be given by the League Of Nations.
Nevertheless, this diplomatic ac-
ton is the beginning of the hquida-
ton Of the struggle between the
League Of Nations and Italy. Paris
considers that special session Of
the Assembly Of the League of Ma
tions will be summoned about Janu-
ary IS for the purpose of expelling
from the League a delegation from
the Negus and recognizing Italy's
sovereignty over Ethiopia. The As
sembly refused to take this action last
September because the Ethiopian gov
ernment still held the western por-
ton of the empire, with the capital
at Gore. But now this town has
been captured by Italian invaders,
and with the capture of Ras Imru,
armed resistance In Ethiopia seems
practically at an end. Consequently,
the way seems open for the Leagues
recognition Of Premier Benito Mus
solini's "fait accompli" in Ethiopia
and hence for the return of Italy to
the League.
The price will be heavy one, for
1t means the abandonment of the
Stimson doctrine with its denial of
recognition of territorial changes ef-
fected by force. Why shouldn't the
League also recognize Japan's con-
quest OF Manchuria? Furthermore.
what confidence can small nations
have in the League. which, so to
speak, legalizes the forcible absorb
ton of one of its members by a big
power.
British French Purpose.
But Great Britain and France are
determined. if possible, to detach
Italy from Germany. Some French
newspaper already are speaking on
umistically Of reconstruction of the
"Stresa 'front.'. e.. the bloc of Great
Britain. France and Italy that was
formed on Lake Maggiore in the
Spring of 1886 to maintain the status
quo shortly after Reichsfuehrer Adolf
Hitler denounced the disarmament
clauses of the treaty of Versailles. In
fact. 1ntransigeant goes so far as to
predict bigger and better "Stresa
front" 1t believes the new Triple
Entente will be stronger because Italy,
having annexed Ethiopia, has left the
ranks Of the have nots' for the
"haves," and because Great Britain
has abandoned the chimera of dis
armament and begun to strengthen
its military and naval forces.
This policy of rapprochement with
Italy, however. may not be so smooth
as the optimists would like to be-
lieve. The Communists already have
proclaimed their opposition to the new
tactics. Their organ, Humanite, has
denounced it as a revival of Laval
ism" OF course, what they fear is
that the agreement with Italy may
loosen the bonds of the Franco-Soviet
military alliance, because France in
such a contingency would no longer
be so dependent on Soviet support.

CHICAGO, Sept. UNSO.-In
order to cure his wife Of nagging,
Ellis Schwartz, 45-year.old barber,
fired a shot from a pistol into the
floor of their apartment. He
found the experiment successful.
Judge Justin F. McCarty yester-
day fined him 500 and costs for
disorderly conduct and $25 and
costs for violating a city ordinance
about firing pistols.
But Schwartz wife, Sadie, 40,
begged leniency for her husband,
admitting she had been nagging
and possibly had driven him to
the pistol firing. She promised
to keep quiet in the future.
