Leads Neutral Bloc.
Italy appeared to be assuming the
leadership OF great neutral bloc in
Southern Europe, stretching from
the Atlantic to the Black Sea.
Reports from Balkan capitals in
dicated those States, striving to keep
out of the European war, were look
ing more andsmore toward Rome for
leadership and protection. A new
Tightening of Italian-Spanish rela-
tions also was reported among diplo-
mats.
Authoritative Italians said it was
only natural that Italy, the most
powerful European nation not in
volved IN the war, should assume
the role of guiding Southern Europe,
for the present, at least.
The belief was expressed that the
neutral bloc would refrain from
signing formal pact. The neutral
front was described rather as an
"unwritten community of interests"
with Italy the fontal nation in close
diplomatic relationship with Spain,
Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Ru-
mania and Greece.
After the German-Soviet Russian
non-aggression pact was signed
Spain recoiled from the Rome-Ber-
lin axis. Now, however, with Italy
steering clear of the war, Spain was
reported more distant toward Ger
many but warm to Italy.
The scheduled visit of Generals
simo Franco of Spain to Italy this
month was postponed indefinitely
last night.

SENATOR NORRIS TALKS OF WAR

Senator George w. Norris, of Ne
.braska, who recently celebrated his sew
enty-seventh birthday, is the only living
United States Senator who voted against
the entry of the United States into the
World War against Germany.
Admitting that he could never favor
voting to put this country to war again on
a foreign field" the Nebraskan says that
the horrors of war in China and Spain
make him wonder if it would be better
for America and perhaps France, Britain
and Russia, to ally themselves now in a
World War to wipe out Fascism."
Senator Norris is not militant. His
record of public service marks him as a
distinct friend of humanity. He not only
admires peace as an ideal, but he has been
extremely practical in attempting to main
tain it. What is it that now causes him to
ponder the advantage of warfare today?
The answer is to be found in the I'M
dication that Italy, Germany and Japan,
the three "aggressor nations are not only
willing to risk war for the purpose of ma
tional advantage but are actually plan
ming warfare on large scale whenever it
promises dividends to them. ~
!. If peace could be maintained for
many years by policy of tolerance, as
these nations threaten world stability, the
price might not be too much to pay. How
ever, there is no reasonable prospect that
such a course will avoid greater war
This is why Senator Norris wonders whe-
Their younger generation of Americans,
fighting a world union of Fascist nations
some twenty or thirty years from now,
may not wish that Americans of today had
defeated "Fascism in its infancy"
There are many observers in the
world today who do not believe that the
question involves a decision between war
and peace. They think that the world
trend points Enthusiastically to future war
and the only question to be decided is
when the fight will take place, If this is
correct, the sooner the democratic .coun-
tries start the battle, the better their
their chance will be. The experts, how
ever, may be wrong there may be way
to avoid another World War. This is the
hope that keeps the democracies from do
ing anything that might precipitate the
struggle now. - 49,.

ADVERTISING A BIG BUSINESS

During 1888 business in the United
States is estimated to have spent $780,
100000 for advertising, according to L. d.
H. Weld, director of research for ma
tional advertising agency.
Huge as this sum was, it lacked more
than 5000, 100000 of reaching the amount
expended in 1887.
Now, there are people who think that
advertising is an economic waste and that
advertisers throw away their money. In
view of the sums expended annually by
hard-headed business men, we might as
sumo that it brings in a return. Other
wise, the expenditure will be stopped.

THE INTERRUPTION IN TAMPA TO HAVANA
STEAMSHIP SERVICE
Tampa Times)

The Key West Chamber of Commerce has
asked the Tampa Chamber to join it in protest
of the announced lay-off of steamship commune
cation between Tampa, Key West and Havana,
and it does appear that there is ample justifica-
ton for conference with officials of the PENN
sular and Occidental Steamship Company
The Lines service from Tampa to Key West
and Havana will be suspended while the S. S.
Cuba is in drydock during May, and the Key
West Chamber of Commerce has written that
this is serious matter for us and for our sister
cities on the route and we invite your earnest at
tention."
No one, of course, would insist that the p.
and o. Line any other company should take
any considerable economic loss through obtaining
another boat to carry on the service while the
Cuba is in dry dock but the suspension of this
service is an important matter to Tampans.
Although the company's Miami-to-H Havana
service continues, the idleness of the Tampa line
cannot help to build up patronage for the West
Coast service and it comes just at time when
the Florida West Coast is seeking to build up a
Spring and Summer tourist business, for which
the trip to Cuba is undoubtedly a strong attrac-
ton.
Thus, since everyone should gain from an
unbroken continuance of this service, it seems
worthwhile that the Chamber of Commerce and
the p. and o. Line should make some effort to
solve this problem

Human nature is more prone

-, Human nature is more prone to evil
than to virtue 1t is the claim of David
LASER, president of the Workers Alliance
before the house committee probing the
WPA, that the object of the Alliance is to
protect the workers in the lower strata
over the white-collar reliefers who get the
better jobs and hold them through pull.
That, of course, is worthy purpose, and
apparently necessary, if it is not cloak to
-~subHersion. Although the people on re-
lief may be compared to a shipwrecked
>. crew who should have common under
standing and equal and just treatment.
- there are many inequalities and the whole
structure is surcharged with politics. Under
such circumstances it is natural that an
organization imbued with vigilance should
emerge and rear its head as a protective
measure. There is no more reason that
people on relief should take it ON the chin
than those placed in more fortunate cir
cunlstances.
