thinking that only Communists are
revolutionists and all Fascists are
loyal and conservative patriots. Dis
tributing Hitler's "Mein Kampf" and
agitating the Arabs against the Jews
is not Immediately related to mining

tivities were going on-perhapS to
make q zone secure as a base for
Frances operations, which would be
legally legitimate, but perhaps for Of
fensive purposes.
1t was clearly to prevent these mill
tary activities from reaching stage
where they would become a serious
international menace, possibly en-
failing open international war, that
the French government launched the
barrage of publicity and modified
troops. We must believe that there
was real reason to fear such menace.
The Blum government is not alarm
ist. The German accusations that
France is aiding and abetting a Boil
sheviSt movement in Europe and un-
derwriting Russian activities in Spain
are not true. There are certainly
thousands of Frenchmen whose SYM
pathies are passionately with the 10y
alists and who would be the opponents
of Franco whether the Spanish gov
ernment was Communist or Republic
can; the SympathieS of most of France
are with the LoyaliStS; France is anti
Fascist, but the French people want
peace; they do not want to be en-
tangled in a war, and M. Blum knows
that.
Communists Against Blum.
If the French Communists had
their way, NJ BlumS government
would fall tomorrow. The appeal Of
the French government has consist
emily been for non-intervention. and
M Blue has held his Communists in
hand quite extraordinarily. When I
passed through Calais last month
Workmen were pasting up on the bill.
boards huge posters signed by the
Popular Front government warning
the people against hySteria and urg-
ing them to stick together for non-
intervention. France is a democratic
country, with parties. free press, a
parliamentary system and the gov
ernment has to carry public opinion
with it and respond to it. And there
IS no question where that public
opinion lies.
Therefore the move in the Moroc-
can affair can only be interpreted as
bold attempt at prevention Of future
crisis And it worked-as bold moves
against MIR. Hitler invariably do. When
Pilsudski mobilized in the Westerplatte
affair and told Mr.. Hitler he could
choose peace or war. Mr.. Hitler chose
peace and signed 10-year truce with
Poland. When MuSSolini mobilized at
the time of the Dollfuss murder, and
announced that NaZi Austria would
mean war, Mr.. Hitler chose peace and
! retreated. Yesterday he did not have
to retreat, but he was, perhaps, pre-
vented from taking a position from
which retreat might not have been
easy, for himself or for the rest of
Europe So the air is once again some
what cleared.

Prayers for Snow to Aid
Ski Ranch Brings
Slim Response.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

TINE same Western wire which
brought that appalling news
from Everett, Wash, clicked
u off a snappy little item about
jolly Count Schaffgotsch rounding up
the countryside TO pray for snow for
his ski ranch at Sun Valley, Idaho.
He got trace, but, at last accounts,
the weather was clear again.
He is a third cousin of old Count
Bismarck, the iron chancellor, and
first cousin of Prince Gottfried Won
Bismarck. The Nazis, revising their
religion, staked out an island in the
North Sea as the real Aryan Garden
of Eden, and Prince Gottfried Is the
governor. Count Schaffgotsch Is re-
lated to several strains of European
nobility, all enterprising and similarly
ready to run anything from O ski
ranch to a Garden of Eden.
The count and his cousin. Tassilo
Fuerstenburg, had big shooting lodge
in the Austrian Tyrol, where. among
other paying guests, they entertained
the King of Egypt. After the war.
Cousin TasSilo dd-jobbed around New
York for a few years, but gave it up
and went back to Europe. Their hunt
ing lodge was taxed into the red, and
the count, arriving in New York in
1884, was several laps ahead of any
body else in the ski parade. He is a
merry chap and a favorite among
high-steppers hereabouts. He Is a
cousin of George HoyoS, who lived in
New York for many years.
