Home and Abroad
By
TOWNSEND HOWES

THE FOREIGN situation is fraught
with many potential perils to America.
The latest move involves the action
of the Soviet Republic in canceling
Italian war debts and announcing a
larger naval program. We predict that
as soon as Russia is financially able
to assert the power of her huge army
and air force-then there will be
something doing and America will
not have to worry about Japan being
fully occupied with the Chinese and
Mongolian cohorts.
