The late Senator Ollie James,

Dirt Farmer Sense

TOR dirt farmer and oil man from the Kansas
L praires, Alf Landon showed the horse sense we
always thought he had when he teegraphed the Pres
dent comparing the present anti-war sentiment in
Congress with British parliamentary vacilation in
1914.
1t is admitted to be historical fact that had
the British made uneQuvocal in ADVANCE their nen-
ton Of standing by Belgium the Germans never would
have invaded it.
Separated by the English Channel, Great Britain
at that time pursued policy of aloofness from the
continent of Europe Today the English Channel
has dwndled to rivuet as far as political in
dependence from the continent is concerned and the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans once impossible BARRIERS
have been narrowed by aircraft carriers and giant
clippers
Today, as Alf Landon pointedly indicated, the
United States has approached the position which
Britain held in 1914 where may have the balance of
power in deciding peace or war in Asia and Europe

it has grown up quickly and now

For Bloemfontein really has

Bloemfontein is the natural rail-
road center of this part of South
Africa, for seven main lines meet
there. Which means that there
are large railroad workshops and
plenty Of hustle.

Bloemfontein is thoroughly
modern. Broad, fine, smooth

w cidence, the simultaneous and almost identical
statements from Alf Landon, Franklin Roosevelt and
Neville Chamberlain should have an extremely
healthy reaction not only upon Japans procrastnat
ing military but upon relationships in other parts of
the world.
Theirs were words meriting very careful study.
Said Mr. Landon: g. Z. The American people
want peace but they want peace that will enable
to maintain the respect of the other nations of the
world"
Said Mr. Roosevet: "Our countrymen have de-
sired to pursue tenor of their way at peace
with all nations and all peoples But whether we
like it or not we are part of large world of other
nations and peoples"
Said Mr.. Chamberlan "We still anxious to
serve the cause of peace by any honorable But
it must not be thought that our desire for peace
The Rrit;sb means that we are either indifferent
nc ''0" to our international obligations or for
getful of our duty to protect British
interests
Or to get away from the high-flown language of
craftsmanship: "We can put up with international
inconvenience but we can't be deliberately kicked
in the face"
On the day following the Panay incident this news
paper pointed to the fact that the real leaders of
Japan were the military, that there rivalry be-
tween the japanese army and navy and that the real

war lords
Yesterday in Shanghai, General Harada tried to

Meanwhile, Colonel Hashimoto the man who
