Jerome and his chief associate Ma
delene had been right 1t was clean-cut proof
that was wanted. not the accusing statements
of couple of foreigners like themselves.
When he had reached his destination and
dismissed the cab Sinclair set out at swing
ing pace along the top of the cliffs The night
was intensely dark. There was the long rum
bling wash of the sea below the cliffs. He had
seen no house of any kind for miles, and the
utter loneliness of the place came home to
him. The ground began to drop away; and
keeping clear of the road, he made his way
down the hillside among the boulders. He
could hear the waves rolling in on a shingly
beach as he halted at the foot of the hill.
Madeleine had not come yet. Sinclair
paused for few moments, then settled down
in hollow near the road and buttoned up
the collar of his REFER jacket. As he lay there
waiting. the first sound he heard was the
clink of loose stone. He got to his feet and
peered around him.
1t was difficult to tell the direction of the
noise: but he knew he had not imagined
it, Anyone there?" he called out softly.
Evidently his voice had not carried. for
there was no reply. Surely Madeleine would
have been expecting him by this time! But
he did not repeat the question in case it was
one of Jerome's men he had heard, and he
decided to move from the hollow to the
slightly higher ground beyond the road.

A message from the young lady.
From Madeleine Nelson? Where is she -

Let me explain. MSieur The

rear. Bullets Clipped the rocks as he
scrambled onward, slipping into crevices

cliffs were now towering above him, and there
no line of escape among these tall crags
His pursuers were close behind. Now that
he was able to think more clearly, he realized
why Madeleine had not met him at the ap-

these brutes hands. Perhaps she was lying
helpless in that cottage above the beach;
the thought sent shiver through him

He knew now that the girls safety - per-
haps her life - was in his hands. The secret
store of arms was probably somewhere in the
vicinity. and he kept away from the road to
avoid blundering into any more of Jerome's
men. About mile upstream he found the
side road and followed it into the heart Of the
woods. After dipping into hollow it rose
steeply. and he saw the roof of building
above the tree-tops. The Chateau Kalber!
There were no lights in the building This
was the first thing that struck him as he ap-
preached: and when he made his way round
to the back, he was amazed at the size of the
place The Chateau Kalber was an old castle,
built upon rocky knoll, with surrounding
wall which seemed to be in ruins, and the
only inhabited part rose above the big arched
gateway at the front. 1t was difficult to re-
view the situation calmly. The fact that he
had seen no light burning in those windows
proved nothing the odds were heavy that
Madeleine had been brought here by those
men who had been waiting for him near the

wrenched at the bars. and at last they came

therefore, can do as it pleases about
the liquor traffic within its own State,
as well as with respect to importatlons
from the outside. including from other
States and doubtless from other coun-
tries. A State can stop all sales, TAX
ing unto itself a monopoly of the
liquor business, or State can say
that only certain favored brands may
enter and thus exact privilege fee
from one set of manufacturers as
against another. causing one company
to bid against another for the selling
privileges, or State may bar foreign
products altogether or allow the prod
ucts of Canada to enter and not those
of France as the State may wish.
Could a State impose duty or
some other form of revenue-getting
machinery and would State then run
afoul of the clause of the Constitution
which says that no State can levy
duties against foreign products?
Clearly no State can do this on any
other article of commerce but there
will be many who will now assert
that a State can levy duties on
foreign liquors because the 2lst
amendment gives sole power to
a State to make any laws it pleases
and then to bar any importation which
conflicts with those State laws. If
Evening star., 1938-05-25

the equal protection clause and the
commerce clause can be wiped out by
the 21st amendment, so can the
clause giving Congress the power
to regulate imports be curtailed so far
as liquor is concerned
Some day either the 21st
amendment will have to be rewritten
to allow regulations Of commerce that
apply to other businesses to include
liquor or else the various States will
intensity the process, already begun,
of refusing to allow through their
borders the liquor products of States
discriminating against their own
brands.
Surely the trainers Of the 21st
amendment in their haste never
realized perhaps what far-reaching
change in the whole constitutional
system they were making by adding
after section / (Which was the
outright repeal Of the 18th amend
ment) another paragraph known as
section 2 which many people have
overlooked and which is worth read
ing again: THE transportation or

expansion.
Must Have Expansion.
But Italy and German cannot.
They could live without expansion
In liberal world Of reasonably free
markets. They cannot, in the long
run, live without expansion in the
closed economies which they them
selves have wilfully created as part
Of their theology.
The Czechs know that, in the long
run, the western world cannot avoid
the question: We or they? Europe
will not, in the long run, maintain q
balanced position in this dilemma. 1t
will all be one thing, fascist or demo-
cratic.
The failure to comprehend the revo-
lutionary nature OF fascism has been
the greatest failure OF the British con.
servative imagination. Austen Cham
berlain for years welcomed the emerg-
ing relationships, taking them at their
own evaluatiOn as forces of law and
order. The law might have been elimi-
mated at the beginning as descrip-
tive word. The order was internal,
maintained by coercion.
But by their very nature their ex-
ternal policy was bound to be the
creation of illegality and disorder.
Whatever communist Russia may
have done inside Russian borders, or
however disturbing the Russian revo-
luton may have been as focus for
labor discomfort everywhere, Russia
mas gold and pays her trade balances
with it, and nothing the Russians
have done has been so disturbing to
a worldwide capitalist order as the
autarchial policy of the fascist states
has been and will continue to be.
The Fascist states live as parasites
on the world economic order. The
habit of mind which pictures them
as merely new imperialisrns without
analyzing what sort of new imperial
isms leads to false alliances.
Tho British Imperialism.
The British imperialism, for in
stance. was something totally differ
ent, as Alexander Sachs pointed out
to me in a conversation the other day.
British imperialism grew out of
combination of geography. sea power
and economic power-the latter
combination of money power, tech
nology and venturesomeness. Sea
power is probably the only kind of
military power that does not militar-
ize or tyrannize its own user. and
the British could keep that power in
the potential and not kinetic phase
without interfering with the lives and
institutions Of their own and other
peoples.
Such powers cannot deimperialize
themselves-not ever. Their totalitar-
ianism Is the sine qua non Of their
existence. You cannot unwind an au-
tarchic regime
The logic Of totalitarianism demands
tyrannization.

aren't any more haymows and not
many attics, but romantic youth still
has Its dream hide-outs, and heard
recently that Kipling's Might Mail"
forecast OF the flying age, was hav-
ing a great run at the Libraries.
Capt. Charles A. Lorber, ocean flyer,
is conspicuous among those who have
outrun fiction and who will, no doubt,
be the idol of youth from now on. With
more than 100000 miles of over
water flying already behind him. he
takes over the command of the Ber-
muda clipper, the flying boat of the
Pan-American Always. He has COM
manded II flights on the company
runs over the Pacific. and is one Of II
pilots to attain the rank of master.
He made perilous flights over the
Matto GraSso Desert and jungle region
in Brazil. the most savage wilderness in
the world; landed and fought tigers on
occasion, few with Charles A. Lind
bergh around the Caribbean and ex-
plored the Mayan ruins, and cruised
up and down the Spanish main and the
West Indies before joining Pan
American in 1927.
His father was an itinerant mill
wright, back from prospecting in the
Western goldfelds when his boy was
born in Baltimore, in 1897. Young
Charles went to school in the back
country of Maryland, did wartime
hitch in the Navy as a mechanic,
learned flying and came out as
lieutenant. He and his brother-in-
law were transformers In Florida and
worked up a small business in carry
ing passengers. In 1927 he tried
for a pilots job with Pan American,
but landed as mechanic instead and
did not qualify as a pilot until a
year later. He was assigned to the
Pacific service in 1886.
1t won't be long before M. I. T.
and Sheffield Scientific School turn
out the master pilots, and the barn
stormers will fade out in romantic
fiction. Until then aspiring youth
will esteem and emulate such knock
about air careers as that of the hand

TINE crisis in Europe was at least
postponed over the week end
by the vigorous action Of the
u Czechoslovak state.
Confronted by situation re-
markably like that which in February
faced Chancellor Schuschnigg Of Aus
tria, the Czechoslovak government
took completely opposite measures
They quietly called up 100000 reserves
and thus demonstrated that they
would keep order in the disgruntled
pro-Nazi German territories, by force
If necessary.
They met reports of German troop
movements near their borders by
occupying those borders, and said, in
effect, to Germany: If you want
war, come and get it,"
The Sunday elections passed of in
peace, a remarkable calm suddenly
settled over Berlin, Mr.. Henlein, who
had refused to negotiate unless order
was guaranteed" saw that it was
guaranteed in a quite impressive but
unexpected manner, and returned to
negotiate.
So far, so good. The French and
British governments backed up the
Czechs, once they took the initiative
themselves.
Autonomy Is incompatible
Henlein and Germany are claiming
that the Nazi victory in the Sudeten
area justifles demand for autonomy
| The Czechoslovak government says
that Nazi autonomy is incompatible
with the sovereignty of the state and
means, in effect, secession.
It is now time for the powerful
democratic governments of Europe to
face squarely the leading question on
which the fate of Europe hangs. That
question is not peace or war. The
theory that it takes two to make q
war is exploded.
The question is whether Europe and
the whole Western world can further
compromise with the fundamental
theses of the political and economic
totalitarianisms or whether here and
| now q front must be made against
them.
One political thesis is the right Of
Germany to intervene in the internal
affairs of any country that has q
German-speaking minority and to
organize such minorities for revolu-
tionary activities inside the states Of
which they are citizens.
II it is granted that Germany has
the right to organize and aid Ger
man-speaking minorities of German
racial groups In other states, Germany
can conquer the continent by revo-
luton.
If it is granted that Italy and Ger
many have the right to subsidize con-
servative political groups in rebellions
against their own left wing or liberal
governments, then the Fascintern can
conquer Europe with other peoples

The actual menace at present comes
from the Fascintern, not the Comm
