HERE'S PROSPERITY

We've been so busy watching the goings-on in
Europe most of us, that have lost sight of very
important development here at home. General bust

Automobile output is running 80 percent above

Benefic aspects rule powerfully to-
day. The morning hours should be
equally propitious for employers and
employees. Capital will be generous
ly invested in new enterprises UNI
der this sway which seems to pres
age news stimulating to the world
of trade and commerce. Important
business should be transacted before
noon.
Heart and Home: Business revival
in many lines will be reflected in
improved home financial conditions.
This is a date favorable to hospital
ity. Shopping should be most fortu-
nate under this sway particularly
clothing purchases.
Business Affairs: Big business
should benefit greatly as the stars
appear to presage governmental adj
justments that free capital and
cause expanding enterprise. This is
a promising configuration for build
ing and construction of bridges,
steamships and airplanes. While
railways are under threatening por-
tents, freight shipments should be
extraordinarily heavy from east to
west.
National Issues: According to Nep-
tunes adverse aspect, the United
States may face enemies within and
without, but aggressive measures
may be limited to evil propaganda.
A protective sway of a religious or
ethic influence will be strong in our
national life. Saturn by transit will
be in the seventh house of our horo
scope, a warning of possible troubles
with a foreign nation. There is an
aspect preSaging m ny sudden
deaths and accidents.
International Affairs: Foreign ma
tions will reach conditions so seri-
Gus that they menace certain lines
of business in the United States.
Some directive action may be taken
by our government to control the
rising tide of conflict abroad. Severe
penalties may be imposed or radical
measures adopted regarding the sale
of war materials. Decisive alignment
as a world saviour or an isolationist
is indicated before the end of the

He Chose to Fight
New York Tines

Mr. Eden's first speech as Secretary of State Tor
Domnons is an effective reply to the German Claim
that this is a only against the nJustlces ol Che
Treav of Versailles effort only to bring back hto
the German Fatherland city and corridor that are
rightfully its own For Mr.. Eden points out that IN
making war Hitler violated not only the treaty OF
Versailles he violated also his own treaty OF 1884 WIN
Poand-a treaty which he himself had negotiated Oh
his own free will treaty by which the status OF DoVi
Danzig and the Corridor was to remain unchanged
until 1914 treaty which bound both Germany ana
Poland to settle all disputes by peaceful means mutu
ally agreed upon" treaty which still had i've years
to run when Hitler tore it up
That was the second treaty OF his own MAKING
the second treaty in no way part parcel of the Yer
sailes system which Hitler destroyed within period
of six months He had pledged himself to respect tle
sovereignty of Czechoslovaka after the Sudeen area
was taken from that country by the Peace OF Mulch
he broke that pledge to invade what renamed OF
Czechoslovaka and add it to the German Reich ms
in itself was plain warning to the Poles of what they
might expect if they purchased temporary peace at
the price of forced surrender of their rights IN DahAg
and their title to the Corridor Munich was not YER
sailles and to the Peace of Munich Hitler himself
had specifically subscribed. One question will not
down AS Mr. Eden puts it: Faced with such a cata-
logue of broken and discarded pledges how Is II
possible to escape the conclusion that the Treaty OF
Versailles was grievance to redress but pre-
text for the use of force?"
Hitler could not be restrained from fighting He
could not wait to discuss his own last peace
terms to Poland He could not wait to discuss his
claims in five-Power conference convoked by his ally,
Italy Therefore he now finds himself In war, not
only with the small state Of Poland but with the two
strongest Powers in Europe Therefore he justfles the
worst mistakes of the epoch which has produced him.
Therefore once more and finally, he repudiates his
own words denies his hollow demand for peaceful
revision of treaties" Even should Poland be con-
ouered by his reckless act he has sabotaged the
chances of further efforts for negotiation
Looking back at the record, it is plain that Hitler
not only led his unhappy people into futile war He
destroyed at its birth a method by which inter-
national wrongs might be righted. The Governments
of Europe were painfully learning lesson when this
man in fit of senseless violence tore up the text.
