A BITTER
MEMORY

minders of the far-reaching scope of a war
should have its inception In the Far East
or as an Outgrowth of the Spanish Civil War.
The alliances between the major powers in
volved are SO far-reaching that the con-
flagration, once started, might we'll engulf
all Europe and Asia almost Immediately.
Yet while there is no room for doubt that
Japan, Germany and Italy are bent on achiev-
ing their several ambitions at any cost, each
of the aggressive nations has, within the past
few months, passed up opportunities which
seemed ready made for commencement of
hOstilities. Having come to the very brink
of war they have drawn back as if overcome
by an appalling realization that one more
step, and there would be no drawing back.
While the horrors of the last great war
should furnish example enough to deter the
stoutest hearts, there are probably some fears
of later origin that make them reluctant to
take the irrcvocablc step.
Japan has shown sufficient contempt for
China's military strength, but even that fee
BILE menace from the rear while facing a
Russian foe, might prove a telling factor.
The fact that, after nearly year of war
fare. neither of the Spanish factions has
dared to use poison gas against the other,
gives hint that European militarists are
uncertain of the full implications of the use
Of those weapons of warfare which had their
inception in the World War; and have under
oone tremendous development since.

 Due to insufiicient time we were unable to get the necessary ap- proval from Washington, D. Q. in order to get the cancellation by the Postofilce Department to read Treasure Island, San Francisco Bay" AS the island is in the City of San Francisco, they would only permit us to place c temporary postoftice there with no particular significance as to name. However, all of the stamp collectors sou- venir covers were cancelled on the island with a rubber band stamp reading: San Francisco, Califor- mia, November 2lst, 9 p. n. 1e37", with four slender killer.barS for ' cancellation. Because of our in- ability to have the cancellation read Treasure Island, San Fran- cisco Bay" we have had made Q small rubber stamp reading Can celled at Treasure Island, San Francisco Bay" and we will be ! pleased to apply this to all covers returned to tho Rafi Erasaniann Junior Chamber of Commerce with return postage. Collectors may. if they wish, also enclose covers to be held for future events at San Francisco in this mail.
 Mail should be sent to John D. Long, Cachet Director, San Fran cisco Junior Chamber of Com. nierce, 466 California Street, San Francisco.

moved on to Lake St. wolfgang in the Austrian Tyrol.
 Tn late April, the moment Mrs. Simpson was free, Duke Edward joined her at the Chateau de Cande, estate of Charles Bedeaux near Tours, France. On May l2, with "the woman I love" and a group of friends, the duke listened on the radio to the coronation of his brother.
 At noon of June 3, the correspon- dents who had swarmed to Cande were able at. last to write And so they were married"
 Comes a New Note
 The pair left almost immedi- ately for Noetsch, Austria, to hon. ey1noon at ancient Castle Wasser- leonburg. Back in Paris in early October, however, came Q new note. The duke announced that he intended to visit both Germany and the United States Ito study housing and working conditions. ."
 On October Il the couple were met in Berlin by Robert Ley, head of the German Labor Front, un- der whose auspices they toured factories and housing projects in Berlin, mines at Duisberg, Nazi party headquarters at Nuremberg.
 On October ,27, back in Paris, the duke gave his first public speech since his famous radio farewell to the empire. He de- scribed himself as "a very happy married man," adding that my wife and I are neither content nor willing to lead @ purely inactive life of leisure"
 No Future in It
 Displeasure in wide American circles with the visit to Germany and hostility toward Bedaux as ad- vance agent for the American trip, led to Its last-nlinute cancellation November 5, after tentative ar- arrangements, had been made for Q meeting with President Roosevelt and for a nation wide broadcast.
 Acutely disappointed, chagrined, and baffled, the duke and his wife resumed 8 somewhat ainllesS life in Paris.
 Meanwhile, on the throne which he had abandoned and in the country from which he was barred, the dukes brother, unspectacular King George VI, will celebrate on Dec. l4 his 42nd birthday. For him, too, 1t has been & hectic year, with Mediterranean piracy, the upsurg- ing of Germany, Arab-Jewish trou- ble, India In ferment, and the des- perate race to bring British arma- ment up to par. There Is plenty to whet the interest in his homeland and people-which Edward asserted he would always have.
