, suit in the establishment of a COM
munist regime in Spain. Italy and
Germany, leading fascist powers,
are determined to do everything
possible to prevent that-it would
threaten their hopes for the grad
ual extension of fascism through
all Europe. By the same token, a
rebel victory would be followed
by fascist Spanish government,
as General Franco has said And
France and Russia feel that if that
happened, they would be put in
great danger, inasmuch as they
would be surrounded by I'M
friendly nations.
The second phase of the answer
is given by intimation in the quo
tation from Major Williams. The
chatter of diplomats to. the. con-
trary. it is a reasonable assHmp-
ton that Europe would be at war
now if the antagonistic powers
were not held back by fear of
each others possible strength. 1t
is no secret that Germany would
attack France tomorrow, if she
were confident she could win
and that France would do the same
thing, given the same assurance.
Civil war in Spain is providing
these powers with a chance to try
out their fighting equipment-and
the General Staffs are watching
with undated interest.
This international civil war"
has killed thousands of Spaniards.
1t has laid Spain waste. And it is,
perhaps, preparing the way toward
the most sanguinary general con-
flict in world history. Today all
Europe is an armed camp-and
it's weapons are infinitely greater
both in number and potential de-
structiveness than before the
World War. 1t is very possible
that if one of the powers becomes
satisfied that the "tests" made in
Spain show it to be superior to a
neighhornig unfriendly power, the
blow-off will come with breath
taking suddenness.
So far as America is concerned,
the State Department obviously
realizes the dangers in Europe
is seeking to formulate an equit-
able and workable neutrality poll
icy. Tire is a great deal of de-
bate going on among those with
different views. 1t seems certain
that the President vii be given
wide discretionary powers in deal
ing with foreign crises. 1t also
seems certain that the old doc
trine. dramatized by Wilson, of
! freedom of the seas" will be
ropped, in the hope. of keeping US
out of conflict.

ECONOMIC HICHLIGHTS
That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual; Ma
ti0nal and International Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

The Average citizen has heard
relatively little of foreign affairs
lately. Events at home-the
election, the converting of Con-
gress, the strikes. the unprecent-
ed floods in the Middle West and
South--have taken all his atten-
ton.
Yet the foreign situation has
grown steadily more menac,ng.
In Spain, for. example, a civil
war is going on. Everybody knows
that. What everyone doesn't
know is that a general European
war, on small scale, is likewise
going on IN Span. All the major
nations have paid lip service to the
cause of neutrality in Spanish af-
fairs-but the fact remains, ac-
.cording to every fact-finding news
'paperman who has returned from
the Spanish battlefronts, that sew
eral European nations have troops
actively engaged in Spanish bat
ties, are supplying one side or the
other with airplanes, rifles, can
non, ammunition and food. For
instance. when the rebellion began,
a rebel leader, Franco, had almost
no tanks-now he has great num-
bers of the most up-to-date type.
And the loyalists had no air force
worthy of the name-now they
have a considerable number of
fairly modern, well-armed ships.
Principal participating nations
are Russia, Germany, Italy and
France. Germany and Italy side
with the rebels. who are Fascistie
in tendency and purpose. Russia
and France side with the loyalists,
who include Communists, Social
lists, Syndiealists and Republicans.
To what extent are these foreign
nations taking an active interest
in Spain? Vivid answer is supplied
by Major Al Williams, famous rae
ing pilot, who recently made a
European tour for the purpose of
eyaluing Errepe's air armadas,
According to Major Williams, Zone
pilot. who had served in the rebel
army. told me it was getting
tough for a native to find some
thing to do in that civil war.
Russia, Germany, Italy and France
had all but taken it over for a
warming-up session of their new
war machines"
Finally, why are these nations
mixing in a civil war that, theo-
retically, is none Of their business?
The answer to that is two-fold.
First, there is good chance
that loyalist victory would re-

However, Further Investi-
CATION Along Different
Lines May Become
Necessary

Asked several times IL there
viii be any further legal pro-
eedure in the case of Benigno

iiminary hearing held Monday
afternoon before County Judge
Raymond Lord. The Citizen asked

Rogue was charged with assault
with latent to murder Bonnie
Pierce, following a brief argu.
ment in a beer garden and sand.
vieh Parlor on the morning of
February 1. Rogue surrendered
later and was placed in jail await
ing the result Of the wounds he
was charged with infIieting on
Pierce.
In the meantime Assistant
State Attorney J. Lancelot Les.
ter in collaboration with County
Solicitor Clear and the sheriffs
office made an investigation Of
the events in the case pending the
result Of the wounds Pierce re.
eeived.
When Pierce was pronounced
as being out Of danger and was
released from the hospital the.
date for the preliminary hearing
was set for Monday afternoon 4
O'Clock and III witnesses besides
the principal were summoned.
AT the hearing monday these
witnesses were examined bat
none OF them would testify that
knife had been seen in the hands
Of Rogue and that he inflicted the
wounds alleged TO have been made
By a knife on the body OF Pierce.
There was the question of ag-
Eression and the testimony, ex-
cept that OF the person who was
stabbed was to the effect that
Pierce was the aggressor and
while several admitted having
seen Rogue strike Pierce, it was
only after the latter had struck
Rogue. AS the evidence was con-
elusive and nothing indicated
that Rogue was guilty he was al
lowed TO depart, freed of the
charge.
However. said Solicitor Cleare
thil morning. there was one dis.
crepaney in the testimony of one
witness which made it necessary
for him 20 be called before Mr.
Cleare and explain this state
ment made before the county
judge which was in conflict with
that given at the investigation.
The explanation, said Mr..
Cieare, wa one which may make
Il necessary FOR further investi-
cation along different lines, al

decided.

PROSPERITY MAY
UPSET PROPOSED
REFORM PROGRAM
ONE OF OUTSTANDING MAT
TIERS REFERRED TO BY
PRESIDENT IN INAUGURAL
ADDRESS
oBy AsSoe-a,ea PRESS,

ivy ASSuc1nteu a-FeSht
WASHINGTON, Feb. TO-
Two things stand out in the
Presidents inaugural address:
evidence of alarm, that prosperity
may upset his reform program,
and assurance of the governments
interest and concern" about the
welfare of every American citizen.
The President has said bfore
that zeal for reform dimnishes in
the man whose cellar is filled. DIV
idends, wage increases, higher farm
prices and increased employment
now have become, in a sense, foes
of the President. He must push
his program on wages and hours
farm tenantry and child labor
ahead of the arrival of complete
recovery.
That may help to explain why
he invites the cooperation of the
supreme court rather than attempt
to shove aside its objections by
the slow process of constitutional
amendment. If the court wants to
fight bacl., delay is its best weap-
on.
Fascism?
The Presidents statement that
1--WE are determined to make
every American citizen the OBJ
ject of his country's interest and
concern" raised some eyebrows.
One critical writer promptly as
serted that such view was ex-
actly the philosophy of a fascist
state. Others looked upon it as.
merely emphasizing the Presidents
determination to get more for the
underpriyileged third of the popu-
lation.
Fascism thriyes best in coun-
tries experiencing hard going. If
the President really harbors any
fascist ideas, there again, pros
perity is dogging his heels.
Earle Topper
Governor Earle is Pennsyl-
vania's offering for the Demo-
cratic Presidential nomination in
1910. Observers along the route
OF the inaugural march noted
this: The President led the way
in an open car, head bare while
he waved his topper. Then came
the governors. All rode in en-
closed cars except Governor Earle
who rode in an open car with
head bare, We could find no one
who saw him wave his topper.
Michigan's offering for the
Democratic Presidential nominal
ton in 1910, Governor Murphy,
had a less joyous time.
Far more troubled with his
automobile atrike than was Gov
ernor Earle by his coal "boot-
leggers," Murphy spent most of
the dav in futile negotiation.
Toddies
Public Welfare Note: Dozens
OF constituents soused by the in
augural downpour raced for
shelter to the offices Of their SEN
ators. Several senators, finding a
few OF their guests near exhaus-
ton from the cold and wet. and
others cold and wet if not ex-
hausted. sent for glasses and
served whisky toddies.

 BERLIN, Jan. 1. -- As Germany pushes her double .barreled drive for self-sufficiency hundreds ot thousands Of posters on walls and billboards, in shopwindows and of fices urge citizens to think about colonies.
 Editorial columns of newspapers too, are laying greater stress on colonies. Articles describe the sad state of affairs in Liberia, not yet anyone's colony.

 That is precisely the sort of pie ture Senator Wheeler, chief of the investigation, wanted to draw. Tes- timony of security deals, of new corporations formed to govern doz- ems of other corporations, of drib- bles of money somehow able to control rushing trains loaded with coal and wheat and oil, all was intended to arouse amazement that the whole system should not col- lapse.
 How does anybody remember to put new ties in the roadbed? How can a Cleveland bottle maker, astute as he may be in his own field, understand that hundreds of refrigerator cars are needed in Texas in early January to handle the midwinter turkey pool?

ledy. Whether actual confusion ex- ists in operation of the system doubtless could be debated for months but the Montana Senator had a chance for graphic show, end made the most of it.
 He and many other public fig ures have grown extremely restless at the complex financial structure that has been built upon many railroads. They look upon it as a trend toward making the actual railroad more and more of pawn in the play of big financial operators, and likely to injure pub lie confidence in railroad invest ments.
 They will follow the show with remedy in the form of legislation calling for stiffer Government su- pervision of railroad financing, and elimination of many corporate e wheels within wheels.
 Government ownership of rail- roads is in the minds of a few but they won't let that proposition come too far forward yet, unless they need it as a prod to put across their more immediate legis- lation.
