and anywhere up to $4,000 troops
concentrated in event a landing
is decided upon to sever Barcelona
from Valencia.
Francois vital sea route to Casa
blanca and Dakar passes between
MinOrca and Majorca. The French
steamer routes to Algeria and Mo-
rocco pass within sight of Min
orca. All French shipping to and
from Africa must pass between
Minorca and Sardinia, Italian
island which is only 200 miles
away. Hence Italian occupation
of both those islands would strike
at the root of the French mobili-
cation plan and military defense
system, which depends on strong
African forces being rushed to
France.
That fear prompted the French
general staff to impress upon Pre-
mier Camille Chautcmps and For
eign Minister WON DelboS the alb
SOlute necessity of preventing
Minorca from falling into Italian
hands. This led to various sugges-
tons by the French &c put a pro-
visional landing party on Minorca
with the approval of the Valencia
government, or that the French
and British fleets put a ring of
warships around Minorca to pre-
vent its seizure. But the French
cabinet at the moment is under
pressure from London and has
taken no decision on either pro-
pOSal.

PARIS. Oct. 10. (UP)-The
Balearic Islands only n few
months ago a cheap playground
in the sun for Bohemian poets
and painters-today are the cruX
of the tensest political situation
since the Spanish revolution be-
gan.
Almost overnight, the string OF
three large and two small islands
assumed vital Importance as stra-
tegic pivotal points in the Mcdl-
terranean scramble involving Bri-
tain, France and Italy, not to
mention the SpaniardS, who own
them.
At the outbreak of the war and
for weeks afterward, no attention
was paid to the islands as Loyal
lists and Insurgents battled for
control. But sparks began to fly
as soon as the FascistS conquered
the largest island of Majorca and
its southern ncighborS of Cabrera,
Ibiza and Formentera while Mi
norca remained loyal to the gov
eminent.
Majorca lies 100 miles off the
Spanish coast and only $50 miles
north of French Algeria. Forty
by 60 miles in dimensions, its
mountains rise 5000 feet from the
sea and the terraced slopes are
rich in vineyards and orchards.
Minorca, the second largest. is
rs miles northeast of Majorca and
militarily is the most important
because it iuts furthcSt into the
Mediterranean and cuts the vital
French trade routes. Rocky and
with an inaccessible coast, its
stony surface is less fertile, but
Port Mahon at the end of u mar
row inlet is one of the finest har-
, bors in the Mediterranean.
Minorca is the most fortified of
the Balearics, the Spanish govern
ment having voted credits of g.
100000 pesetaS in 1888 for mod
ernization of the Notifications and
installation of the newest big cali
bre guns in the famed MOla Cas-
tie. only a few hundred yards
from Nelson's house.
In peacetimc Port Mahon had
two regiments of heavy artillery
which explains why the island re-
manned loyal when troops refused
to follow their officers into revolt.
The third big island is lbiza,
which lies farthest west, only 90
miles off the Spanish mainland.
II is mountainous and the largest
town of Ibiza is well-fortifed but
not modernly.
The position Of the islands
at the Mediterranean crossroads
makes them extremely important
in wartime. During Primo de Ri
vera'S dictatorship in 1925, there
were reports that he had secret
treaty with Premier MuSSOlini for
mutual defense in event of a Eu-
ropcan war. with the Italians
given the task Of occupying the
islands and defending them. Pri-
mo denied the treaty.
At the outbreak Of the Spanish
war, Italy, with Generalissimo
Francisco Frances consent, sent
leaders to organize the defense of
Majorca and Ibiza, and the French
government has reports that Italy
now has 200 planes on MaJorca

DAPPER DONS

Psychiatrist Says Their

CHICAGO, Oct. 10. (UP)-The
Dapper Don Juan VINO dates a
dozen girls a week is really a
timid soul trying to escape reali-
ties and his daShing self-conti-
dence is ruined completely when
he meets his countertype-thc wO-
man who OvercomeS ner inferior
ity feeling by constantly saying
no"
DR.. Nita Meth, psychiatrist and
chairman of the Chicago Associa-
ton for Study and Advancement
of Individual Psychology, today
advanced this theory about men
who go in for extent and dura-
ton in romance rather than Selec-
ton and concentration.
"A man who rejoices in a long
telephone list of his conqueStS in
stead of accepting the RESPONSE
bility of a serious relationship"
DR.. Meth said, sis no courageous
cavalier. He is suffering from a
feeling of insecurity about his inn
portance in life. He is afraid he
will fail in a serious attachment,
so he compenSates his inferiority
by chasing after dozens.
"Such a man. although never
really happy. gets along well
enough until he meets a woman
who also feels the necessity of
proving her superiority, and does
so by everlastingly saying mo-
"Our blithe. devastating male,
who always sets the girls a-twit-
ter, is undone by such a situation.
He cannot endure it because he
+ believes he is being repulSed be-
cause of his methods-and here
tofore he considered his methods
perfect"
The trouble. for both man and
woman, DR.. Meth said, is not
methods but goals. The goal in
the mans life is to constantly
prove, especially to himself, what
a superior person he is. He does
it by posing as a heartbreaker.
Once social goal" is set, to
take the place of the selfish, per-
Sonal one, both Don Juan and the
contrary lady are on the road to
personal happiness and social use
fulnesS, DR.. Meth said. 1t takes
a long time. and many efforts for
some Don Juans to accept rela-
tionship based on sacrifice of
any feeling of personal prestige.
And they rarely take the step
alone, DR.. Meth added. Both men
and women rush to the psychiat-
rist who shows them how they
came to have their false goals
through childhood associations,
unfortunate early experiences, or
whatnot-and how futile they are.
"The time is coming" DR.. Meth
said. when everyone will go to
the pSychiatriSt for an annual or
semi-annual mental and emotional
ovcrhauling, just as they now visit
the doctor and dentist"
