Nature provides man with an ex-
cellent compass. If you look at the
stump of tree which has been
felled, you will see a number Of
circles similar to the contour lines
on a map. These circles tend to
stretch out towards one edge of the
stump. This is the southern edge.

countries have been at daggers' points
with each other, and hence easily
manipulated as tools by the great
powers. Henceforth, they propose. by
allying each to the rest, to govern their
own foreign relations.
If this unity can be completed, as
it will be if the Bulgarians can be in
duced to join the others in the Balkan
entente, it is more than likely that the
next European war will see the Bal

lockers. The western world, in other
words. will be cutting it's neighbors'
throats in the name of democracy or
Fascism or some other theology, while
the uncouth Balkan peasant will be
tilling his field or tending his sheep
and selling the product to the highest
bidder.
If war can be averted for a suffi-
cient time, there is hope among the
Balkan governments that Austria and

less the Czechs and plus the Greeks
and Turks. At this meeting there
was much talk of the Mediterranean
position, and the turks continued
their profitable new policy of dropping
a fshline into every pond and hoping
for the best. The general impression
was one of watchful waiting.
The situation in Austria remains
unchanged. Has the German threat
suficed to cow Chancellor. Kurt

for Hapsburg restoration? Govern
ment newspapers assure the world that
there is not thought of trying to
add Hungary to the Austrian
monarchy.
Austrians Watch Italy.
But really the Austrian leaders seem
to be waiting to see what Italy will
do. If Premier Benito Mussolini talks
loudly, Austria can go ahead. If Mus

hardly face the possibility of Ger

the Little Entente states would fight
to prevent Prince Otto from reaching
the throne of his ancestors.
Austria cannot fight alone. Yet
many feel that restoration is Austria S
last card in its long. brave defense
against the German colossus.
Through all Europe today there is
talk of nothing so much as of British
rearmament, especially among the lit
tie states. For upon that rearmament
and the intentions behind it, the fu-
ture of European peace and prosperity
is considered to depend.
France and Great Britain remain
the natural protectors Of the post
war frontiers. Will they defend them?
1t is admitted even in Germany that
Britain and France have the necessary
weight, and that the British are rap
idly reacquiring their punch. What
the little states particularly want to
know is: Have Britain and France

Political Currents Running Fast
In Central and SOuteast Europe

President of the Czech Republic and
a premier statesman of Europe, has
undergone one reverse. He hoped for
an exception meeting of the Little En-
tante in March in order that its three
members - -Czechoslovakia, Rumania
and Yugoslavia-might discuss wild
ening of their present alliance into a
mutual defense pact against all
comerS.
The YugoslaVs have prevented this.
The Yugoslavs have finally reached an
understanding with Bulgaria and hope
for an understanding with Hungary
and even Italy. They are already
being courted by Germany, and, there
fore, feel they are sitting pretty.
Yugoslav Aid Depends on France.
This emphatically does not mean
that were Germany to attack the
Czechs the Yugoslavs would not move
to help Prague. They would-if France
moved first. Not otherwise. This is
not exactly what DR.. Benes wants, but
apparently it Is all he can get for the
time being.
Meanwhile, leading YugosIavs are
not averse to securing any benefits
from Germany which their remain
ing in what might be called an
equivocal position may seem to call
for
Even in Rumania the enemies Of
the Little Entente have scored VIC
tory. DR.. Jan Seba, Czech Minister
to Rumania, a former Czechish le-
gionary in Italy and Siberia, wrote a
book containing passages praising the
Czech -Russion understanding, which
displeased certain Rumanians. They
made such q fuss that DR.. Seba has
apparently resigned.
To be sure, Foreign Minister Victor
Antonescu has had to state publicly
that he follows the same entente policy
as his predecessor and possible sue
cessor, DR.. Nicholas Titulescu. The
influential Deputy Prof. Nicholas
Jorga told the Rumanian Chamber
of Deputies that he feels himself "a
citizen of the Little Entente as well
as of Rumania."
Diplomats Removal Asked.
DR.. Seba's misfortune was perhaps
counterbalanced by the Rumanian re-
quest to Germany, Italy and poland
to Withdraw their diplomatic repre-
sentatives. At the recent funeral

Conscription of British Army Recruits
Looms, With Enlistments InadeGuate

like those in Palestine recently would
be gravely imperiled.
Much has been done in the way of
improved wages, better conditions,
higher marriage allowances and so on,
without effect. And, paradoxically
enough, the rearmament scare has
only increased the famine by drawing
OH potential recruits int, the manu-
facture of arms, which enables them
to feel that they are doing their bit
while staying at home for higher
wages.
One of the chief obstacles to re-
cruiting is the fact that the army
offers no career to the ex-soldier.
The war Office has tried to meet this
by establishing vocational centers for
the teaching of trades. But the Snag
here is the trade unions, which object
to admitting ex-army trainees as
skilled craftsmen in civil life.
The plain fact that emerges is that
the recruiting of the army on the
voluntary basis is breaking down and
that, If the process is not checked, the
government, whatever party it rep
resents, will be driven to compulsion.
For, apart from any menace of war,
the army must be maintained at its
present irreducible level if peace and
order throughout the British Empire
are to be maintained.
The country is up against one of the
major problems of democracy-a prob
lem which does not arise under the
dictatorship-where everybody has to
do what he is told. Can democracy
solve it without conscription, which
would, of course, raise hornets nest?
Appeals to patriotism have failed, and
what the war secretary cannot do
the army exhibition will not do. No
doubt there will be an attempt through
the employers and the trade unions to
get a voluntary diversion from indus
try to the army on terms which will
not leave the ex-soldier down and out
when his period of service is over.
But do not anticipate much success
in this direction. The shadow of con-
scription Is very visible in our sky.
