ment troops. Probably in an effort
to show their anger at the supposed
audacity of the government, the rebels
have again resorted to aerial bonn
bardments of various cities, notably
Barcelona, where once more inno-
cent civilians have been massacred.
No, the end of the Spanish war
is by no means in sight-and there
is no one able to predict how it
will end; predictions are, as is well
known, governed by hard-fisted facts
rather than by wishes.
HankOw Far Off.
Something similar can be said
about the japanese war against China
where there is no prospect whatso-
ever of an early termination of the
conflict
The terrible flood along the banks
of the Yellow river caused a tenn
porary halt in the japanese march
toward Hankow, and it is now being
said that the Chinese themselves cut
certain bikes in order to cause the
floods, thus hoping to stop the in
vaders; that allegation is made by
japanese sources.
Whether the catastrophe was man.
made or a result of inevitable nat
ural causes, it was a frightful one,
and estimates of the dead range all
the way from $4,000 to 100000; il
is said that almost 1000 square miles
of land has been inundated, and that
hundreds of villages have been COM
pletely obliterated.
But after few days, the japanese
resumed their move toward Hankow
temporary capital of China, hoping
to take the city soon; military OBJ
servers on the spot, some japanese
among them, incline toward the be-
lief that Hankow cannot be taken
until some time in September, at the
earliest.
1t seems to be the Japanese plan
to launch an attack from the YangtZe
river, as we'll as from land, and to
carry out this project a number of
Warships have been sent up the river,
demolishing town and villages on the
shores as it passes. The other day a
dozen Chinese airplanes bombed and
sank four of these ships-according
to reports not wholly verified.
German Flareup.
General attention was momentarily
diverted from the wars in Spain and
China by the news that Germany is
passing through another spasm of
anti-Jewish prosecutions. Although
it seems to have started more or less
sporadically, indications are that it is
being carried out in accordance with
carefully laid plans, approved, as
they of necessity must be, by Adolf
Hitler himself
In Berlin and other cities Jews
were arrested on sight, their sole Of
tense seemingly being their very ex-
istence; police and storm troops went
into private homes, into business es-
Establishments and offices, into theaters
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1938-06-23

and other public places, and on no
reported provocation arrested Jews
wherever found; at the same time
the word Jude ("Jew") was
smeared on windows of Jewish-oWned
stores, and non-Jews were told not
to trade with them.
AS far as it is possible to see
from this distance, the object of the
newest anti-semitic drive is to force
the Jewish element out of German
business completely.
What connection may exist between
the persecution of Jews and the Ger
man export trade is not definitely
known although it is an open secret
that business in not few countries
is boycotting Germany for this very
reason. Anyhow, few days ago
the monthly statistics bulletin of the
League of Nations reported that dur
ing the first four months of the
present year Germany has imported
SIS, 100000 worth more than she has
imported in place of a surplus of $49,-
100000 for the same period last year;
the German position is thus worse by
$64, 000,000 than a year ago.
Calmer Atmosphere.
Political turbulence and fear OF
imminent German aggression have
Gained down in Czecho-Slovakia to
some extent: Negotiations are in
progress between the Prague govern
ment and the German and Slovak
minority groups, and it is thought
that some sort of compromise ar
rangement may result Another in

International I t.,
News Review
By GEORG sTRANDvOLD

.sIt is one of the wonders of present.
day Europe that Neville Chamber
lain, prime minister of Great Britain,
continues his vague and colorless pol
icy concerning certain aspects of the
Spanish civil war, and that he es-
pouses it in such an inept way.
Time and again he has been asked:
What is His Majesty's government
planning to do in regard to the in
creasing frequent rebel attacks on
English vessels? And his answer
was, and is, that the government is
not planning to do anything about it.
Why? Is it because Great Britain
is sympathizer of Rebel General
Francisco Franco? No, at least not
openly-but it has recently signed a
treaty of friendship with Italy's Mus
solini, and he most certainly would
resent any British criticism of his
dear friend Franco; Chamberlain
feels that he cannot afford to jeo-
pardize the state of amity existing
between Rome and London.
A few days ago the prime minister
was once more asked blunt questions
in the House of Commons: Didn't
he believe that his government would
be able to speak with greater author
ity about Spanish bombings if it
stopped its own bombardments of
villages in India?
Mr.. Chamberlain thought not, and,
f,,r fI,a Dy..f oIor ri
ments in India were really humane!
AS far as is known, he is the first
responsible statesman who has VEN
tured the opinion that lombard
ment can ever be an act of humanity
Hurry Upv
On April 16 the Anglo-Italian
treaty referred to above was signed
but with the understanding that it
was not to take effect until Italy had
removed its soldiers from the rebel
ranks of Franco in Spain; also, with
the further understanding that such
removal need not take place until
the civil war was over. Apparently
Mussolini has come to the conclu-
sion that the end of that war is
not yet in sight, so he has asked
Great Britain to ignore the stipula-
ton concerning the time when the
agreement becomes effective; "why
waltz" he asks, in EFFECTIVELY not
hurry up?"
AFFECT as the British government
has shown itself to be in recent
months, it is not, after all, thought,
