 tions which were satisfied by this ar engagement have become the chief sup p0rters of the league. Those which benefited from the agreements of 1919 have formed coalitions both inside and outside the league, forcing those which did not to act more or less on their own. Germany has already withdrawn from the league, and Italy threatens to If the league interferes with her Afri- can policy-although it must be ad- mitted that Italy certainly gained more than she lost, if indeed she lost anything by the 1919 pacts.
 The league has, even so, been of more benefit in Europe than elsewhere. It handled the Saar plehisclte with admitted efficiency. It handled the Balkan case in a satisfactory way. It has otherwise fostered the peace of Europe. It's chief value, perhaps. has been as safety valve.
 Fear characterizes French.
 As to the attitude of the principal league powers on the continent, that of France Is still created by the Ger man problem which overshadows everything else.
 The French press and the French foreign office has educated the people to the fact that the Reich is standing today on the threshold of complete bankruptcy, financial and economic. The reason for this Is that the wheels of German industry which have been humming so loudly for years, have been humming in the manufacture of arms and not of goods to be sold. The time cannot be put off much longer, says the French government to its people, when Germany will be faced with doing one of two things: Using these gigantic war supplies in an az gressive war, or giving up to com plete collapse which will mean good by to national socialism. There can be no doubt about what the Nazi choice will be, says France.
 Efforts of the Reich to fosm a peace pact with France have fallen down. and France has entered into a pact with Russia, a step aimed only at Ger many. There Is little likelihood that this agreement will cause any great stress In international relations for the simple reason that it is everywhere recognized as a negative agreement. which France entered into only to keep Germany from being first to ally herself with Russia.
 A similar alliance has been entered into with Poland and the three coun- tries of the Little Entente-CzechosIo vakia, Rumania and Yugoslavia.
 Fear has been the theme of the en- tire French foreign policy. After Pierre Lavars visit to Rome in Jan uary, it Is believed that even the pres- ent Italo- Ethiopian situation arose out of French fear, for 1t Is hardly pos sible that Mussolinl would have em- parked on so aggressive and obnoxious a venture unless he were reasonably certain of French assent.
 Italy Set on War.
 More than anything else. France realizes that alignment with Great Britain Is necessary to protect her against Germany and she Is therefore unlikely to do anything which will seriously disturb Franco-British rela. tiOns.
 Italy seems to be the only nation who has her heart set upon war-and that Is not European war. She has only one idea in mind-the conquest of Ethiopia. and probably nothing can prevent the war In Africa.

ADlO, HylnS, moving plctureS, telephone, fast steamships.
 swift railroads and all those
 other marvels of our present age have made the entire world as small as was eastern Europe say 15O years ago. But human nature has changed little, and since pride In his country is still one of the most out standing aspects of mans nature, the natlonalism of individual nations still maintains the high pitch which ob- tained to 1t century and half ago.
 But where 15O years ago travel and communication were so slow that the nationalism of individual countries irritated only that of countries whose borders coincided with their own, tu. day we find an entire world beset by fears of great wars, and nations arm ing frantically against one another. Behind the present tension Is the struggle of one of the most proud of nations to regain its pride through armament to the level of the other European nations with which it was once on a par
 Following the failure of the Paris peace conference and the rejection of the League of Nations by tue United States, France was forced to the al- ternatlve of forming an alliance with the Little Entente and Poland to keep Germany cowed into submission to the terms of the Versailles treaty. The Washington treaty was supposed to bring peace and armament understand ing in the Pacific and the Far East.
 Now Germany, as 1t inevitably must, has recovered enough strength to de- clare for herself how much arms she needs for protection, has junked the Versailles treaty and Is rapidly arm ing. Japan has violated the , D 3 naval ratios and has invaded China. There is universal armament and the world talks of war.
 Two Alternatives.
 Europe seems to be torn between return to military alliance between France, Russia, Italy and Great Brit ain to keep Germany in line. or threepower "Locarno" treaty between Germany. France and Great Britain ensuring that peace shall be main- tained through the League of Nations or some modification of the league.
 The first alliance would simply re- create the situation which brought about the World war, except that Japan, fearing Russia, would be more likely to line up with Germany than the Allies" The second agreement would leave Germany. considerably re. armed, with eastern Europe before her, and would In all probability lead to a war between Germany and Soviet Russia.
 Into the already tense situation has suddenly been thrown the Italian in. vasion of Ethiopia. In the old days this would have been countenanccd simply as bit of cOlonlZing, and everybody was doing 1t. But today 1t Is generally regarded as out and out aggression, and therefore in violation of both the covenant of the league (since Italy has refused to submit her case to arbitration) and the Kellogg pact. If France, Great Britain and other member nations refuse to close the Suez canal or otherwise save Ethl. opia from the Italians 1t will be not because they cannot, but because they will not.
 The League of Nations was of course formed to preserve, in large measure, the political state of Europe in 1919.
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-09-04

Since the failure of MuSSOliniS Four-POwer pact, which was designed to make the four great European na. tions-France, Great Britain, Germany and Italy-agree to force the others 10 maintain the peace in Europe, Italy has minimized in its press every act of the league. She has shown her Ill humor with the league by militarizlng consistently and completely over the past few years.
 Italy's single purpose today Is ter rltorial expansion through protec- torate over Ethiopia, for she must have more room for her people. With respect to European affairs, she will fight to maintain the status quo. She would like, of course, to reach some | sort of agreement with Germany, be- cause the African campaign, when and If 1t starts in earnest, will weaken Italy on the north.
 Italy will continue to attempt friend ly relations with the Little Entente, with Yugoslavia in particular. The only real uncertainty in her foreign relations Is Austria. for Germany may attempt a revival of the "Anschluss."
 Through all this 1t may be seen that Italy's policy Is maintenance of the status quo, with plenty of military | power in reserve should that policy fail.
 Germany Wants No War.
 As far as Germany Is concerned, a war seems to be out of the question, at least for the present. It would be just beginning a program of conscrip- tion and of building up military re- serves. Germany has honestly sought an understanding with France and hon. estly desires one. She views France with concern only because of the Franco-Russian pacts and the Franco Polish pacts.
 German relations with Soviet Rus sia leave much to be desired, Hitler having made peace offerings to every important European nation except Rus | sia. Nazi dislike for BOlshevism may appear to be a reason on the surface, but more probable is the competition for influence in the Baltic states. Ger many Is set upon building navy to operate In the Baltic sea, so it may be seen that she Is not to be left holi- ing the bag in affairs of eastern Flu rope.
 l Germany and Poland have their ten year pact signed in 1884, aimed prin- cipally at Russia. Hitler Is not going to forget about his interests in Aus trla; more of this, as has been said before, may be heard when Italian strength on the northern frontier Is weakened by the expedition into Ethi- opla. At any rate, Germany is likely to be the last nation in Europe to enter war, in the opinion of students of international affairs.
 Russia, who has been steadily arm- ing for several years. until today she possesses one Of the greatest of all military machines, is definitely for the status quo. Her vast land has more than enough natural resources for its people. She is building a new nation, in way of speaking. and war would seriously upset her schedule.
 For this reason, Russia has been one of the leaders In efforts for collective security in Europe. But she has not hidden her belief that 1t is Germany who will topple the equilibrium of Flu rope since the war and that the Italian movements In Africa will affect the situation.
