MAJOR AFFRONTS

in the last few years. and it doesn't likely that
even its postwar pacfst would have stood for
u., me-. these if the masses hadn't been worried
about something.
~ A'O" Mussolin had snatched Ethiopia and
the Blue Nile headwaters against England's wishes,
and is trying to snatch Spain with the help of
General Franco. Duce has repeatedly inquired, with
a chip his shoulder, what England is going to do
about any of these things and the Lion has merely
mumbed
Hitler and Stain have hurled assorted defis in the
Lions teeth from time to time and still the Lion has
only mumbled. Now, Japan has ruined large British
properties in Shanghai and japanese filler has drilled
an ambassador from His Majestys government itself;
and still the Lion has uttered only angry growl.

WONDER
If you realize that one Of
Americas leading newspapers
has many of its foreign bureaus
headed by British subjects; that
the basic principles Of His
Majesty's imperial foreign pol
icy are cultural-spread through
the United States by the Eng
lish Speaking Union, which has
its headquarters in London and
upon whose American directo-
rate is represented banking,
magazines, newspapers, radio,
universities, the bar, diplomacy
and other callings.

We don't doubt that
POSTWAR PACIFISM

has had something to do with Britains present day
midness.
British killed in the World totaled about 100000,
U1, H. and wounded about 100000. Most
Britons have been sick of the thought
M"""e0o' of war ever since. With British voters
able to get at British politicians just about easily
as we can get at ours, British governments since
the war have been highly responsive to this popular
pacifism That doubt helps to explain why insults
to British honor anywhere in the world haven't been
followed up Immediately by British naval demonstra
lions off the shores of the offending country, by
actual naval or military reprsaIs they used to be.
But we don't think that is the whole explanation.
