still is a resemblance of private
ownership.
Those who follow the develop
ments in Europe not through CEN
sored dispatches, but factually, take
most gloomy view regarding the
future OF the old world
If war breaks out in all its viru-
lence there is going to be massacre
and destruction as the world has sell
dom seen before. If neither side
dares take the responsibility of
starting this holocaust and can find
no ground to come to an early end
of this peaceful war, the economic
and social consequences will be just
as bad as If the war was waged in
all earnestness. Heads or tails they
all lose.
The seizure of the City of Flint
is not likely to cause any consequent
tial incident Neither the Germans
nor the Russians desire to antagonize
the United States beyond a certain
point. 1t is going to be a long drawn
legalistic argument, after the crew
has been released. AS long as the
people OF the United States are not
wrought up-and they are not in this
particular case-there will be ex-
changes of notes-more or less
caustic-and some day we shall hear
that the City of Flint has been re-
leased by the neutral" Russian gov
ernment.
Germany had a right to seize the
ship because it was carrying what
the Berlin government described as
war contraband. We have a right to
demand its release because Russia is
considered by herself and all the
other nations as a neutral country.
Hence Germany was wrong in TAX
ing the ship into Murmansk.

is gladness in his heart, for reasons
which in large degree are fairly per-

Now I don't presume to speak for
Signor Mussolini. But taking ad-
vantage of the prerogative of speak
ing for myself, I feel quite sure
that the Fascist leader is a very,
very happy man to see what looks

his German pact.
Marriage of Convenience"
From f1rst-hand investigation in
Italy and neighboring countries not
so long ago it is my belief that the
1talo-German alliance was q mar
riage of convenience and not in
spired by any affection.
Indeed, my information is that II
Duce was a reluctant, If not en-
tirely unwilling, party to the union
and agreed to it merely as a matter
Of expediency.
Neutral observers in Italy, with
exceptional sources of information,
assured me that if Germany went
to war she wouldn't have Italys
military support. 1t seems they
were good phophets.
The belief was strong that Musso-

training for members of the Hitler
youth organization aged 16 to 18,
inclusive.
The army command will Coop

Oldest classes in the Hitler youth
for military service"
Emphasis will be placed on shoot

military field work. In this fashion
it was said, the army could be
assured of already partly trained
recruits. The courses will be con-
Quoted Saturday nights and SUM-

Is that bit of gravel rasping the
Berlin Rome axis, or are we hear
ing things?
Anyway, it isn't surprising to get
reports that Signor Mussolini is
quietly trying to form a neutral but
self defensive bloc with the Balkan
states, presumably involving his
adoption of more friendly attitude
toward the Anglo French allies who
make war to a finish against his
axis partner.
1t still isn't surprising even when
we find that one of the chief pur-
poses Of such a bloc would be to
stymie friend Hitler, as well as Stain
OF the Russias, from extending their
powerful influence over southeast
ern Europe which II Duce regards
as his rightful preserve.
MuSsoliniS aim, if he makes this
move, will be to safeguard present
Italian interests, and at the same
time to seize the opportunity of
strengthening his own position in
the Balkans while the going is good.
And one can't escape the thought

tally The dice have been cast"
while the Hamburger Fremdenblatt
characterized the British as war
agitators" and said Germany is wag-
ing war forced upon her."
The Berliner Lokal Anzieger, in an
editorial headed Final Settlement"
said: THE war which England
wanted will continue in the way
England desired. Beware England!"
Reich Confident, Ribbentrop Says.
Germany is determined to fight
Britain to the bitter end and is SUI
premely confident of victory, Won
Ribbentrop told the world.
In his Commute address Won
Ribbentrop warned Britain that by
continuing the war she was playing
dangerously with the fate Of her
empire"
THE present British government
may go down in history as the
gravedigger Of the empire" he told
a group of veteran Nazi fighters
which formed his immediate audi
ence in Danzig, now incorporated in
the Reich.
The Nazi foreign minister let fall
not single hint of a possible COM
promise to end the war before the
conflict at arms goes to its bitter
conclusion.
chamberlain refused the hand
of the Fuehrer stretched out in q
gesture of peace" he shouted at the
climax of his address.
Nov the German people takes up
the challenge. The German people
is ready and is determined to fight
until the security of the German
people is assured for all time.
Fight to End, He Asserts.
"The German people is a solid
block, defended by its army, air
force and navy which have just won
bright laurels. The German people
now will fight this war to the end.
THAT this end will be a great
German victory IS guaranteed by
the Fuehrer."
On the continent of Europe, Ger
man borders now are final, Won
Ribbentrop continued.
THE frontiers of the Reich, north,
east, south and west, are fixed" he
said.
Germany has no more demands
against England and France except
the return Of her former colonial
possessions"
But in her determination to bring
about new era in Eastern Europe.
including calling home her minori-
ties, Germany will brook interfer-
ence from no quarter, he warned.
Rare Public Address.
Won Ribbentrop, making one of
his rare public addresses, spoke with
less fire than the better known Nazi
orators, but with great earnestness
and care, giving an exact definition
of Germany's present attitude to-
ward the war.
That attitude, he emphasized re-
peatedly, is that Germany makes
no retreat from the last stand taken
by Hitler in his Reichstag speech of
OCTOBER b, ana that the war goes
on to the destruction of the British
Empire if necessary.
He uttered again the frequent Nazi
assertion that Germany has SYM
pathy for the position of France,
who, Germans say, was dragged into
the conflict by Britain.
Won Ribbentrop also asserted with
great emphasis that no cause exists
for conflict between Germany and
the United States.
"Only diseased phantasy could
even conceive Of a question which
could bring about trouble between
these states" he asserted. Germany
wants only extensive trade on the
American Continent and It always
respected the Monroe Doctrine"

Britain May Weaken
Blockade 10 Combat
German Raiders
Four English Ships Sunk,
Three Under Nose Of
Convoy Near GibroItor
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Great Britain confronted the
prospect today of weakening her
North Sea blockade to combat fast
and powerful German surface raid
ers, ranging the Atlantic in the
fashion of 1914.
Already the United States freight
er City Of Flint has been seized and
at least four British merchantmen
sent to the bottom-three of them
apparently sunk under the very nose
of a British convoy near Gibraltar.
These losses raised the total of
belligerent and neutral vessels sunk
to 80, of which As have been British,
and the tonnage toll to 399, ,319-ex-
elusive of cargoes. The known
loss of life mounted to 1,774.
Information from Norway, where
the City of Flint was taken by her
German prize crew before going to
Murmansk, Russia, indicated at
least two German warships had
penetrated the North Sea blockade
and were roaming the Atlantic.
Deutschland and Emden Named.
They are the 10,00O-ton pocket
battleship Deutschland, gun-bris-
ting product of former treaty limi-
tations on the size Of German ships,
and the 5,400-ton cruiser Emden,
namesake of a famous World War
raider.
Britain reported the loss yester-
day, 80 miles of Gibraltar, of the
4,413-ton Tafna, the 3,528-ton Led
bury and the 2,474-ton Menin Ridge,
and the sinking off the Spanish coast
Of the 7,256-ton freighter Clan CHS
holm.
The announcement graphically
said the ships were sunk after being
fired upon" Informed sources be-
lieved it quite likely that surface
raiders had sunk the vessels.
Moreover, the Greek steamer
Konstantinos Hadjipateras, carrying
scrap iron from Boston to Tyne,
England, was torpedoed in the North
Sea yesterday, also apparently while
in British convoy.
At Trondheim, Norway, a British
seaman related that his ship, the
5,044-ton Stonegate, was sunk by
the Deutschland. The warship picked
up 38 survivors, he said, and later
cruised to the North Atlantic, where
she caught the City of Flint.
Raids Cause Stir In London.
Reports of the German raiders
caused stir in London, overshadow-
ing all other war news in the Brit
ish press.
Assignment of warships to track
them down would mean withdrawal
of important vessels from stations
in the North Sea, weakening the

circles remarked that no matter how
heavy blockade, it always was pos
sible for ships to slip through on
dark, stormy nights.

lini would break away from the
Berlin-Rome axis when a favorable
opening occurred.
This idea was strengthened by the
vigorous manner in which Herr Hit
Ter was reaching into what II Duce
regarded as his special zone of in
f1uence. There was every indication
that the Nazi chief was aiming at
domination of the Balkans and the
Eastern Mediterranean.
Small States Take Cover.
Now along comes Russia with
similar ambitions. Thus far Mus
solini has srefrained from joining
his axis ally in swapping drinks
with the Communists. Maybe Air
Marshal Balbos newspaper, II Cor
riere Padano, spoke from inspiration
the other day when it declared
that Fascists were born anti-Com-
munists and are determined so to
remain
All in all, this would seem to be
an opportune moment to try to
form Balkan bloc under guidance
of Italy. These small states, fight
ers though they are, have taken to
cover in the face of the Russo
German storm, and their inclina.
Evening star., 1939-10-25

ton, as whole, is to stick together
for protection.
A possible weak spot in the scheme
is that Turkey, which has been TAX
ing the lead in Balkan affairs, long
has distrusted Mussolini's expansion
program. I was told in Ankara that
the Turks feared II Duce more even
than Hitler, because of a belief that
the Italian leader was aiming to
annex rich lands in Turkeys West
ern Asia Minor.
No Insurmountable Obstacle,
However, when this distrust has
been ironed out there would seem
to be no insurmountable obstacle to
the formation of a really powerful
bloc which could command respect.
Bulgaria is reported to have been
playing with Russia recently, in the
hope Of regaining territory she lost
to Rumania, but there is strong
link between Bulgaria and Italy in
the fact that King Boris youthful
Evening star., 1939-10-25

Queen is Giovanna, daughter of the
Italian King-Emperor.
The total armed strength Of an
Italo-Balkan bloc would be formi-
dable If properly combined. Apart
from Italy's great fighting machines
of land, air and water (Which in
cludes some 1900, 900 soldiers actual
ly under arms) the Balkan states
would be able to put into the field
on short notice perhaps 5,6O0OO
trained troops, with millions of
potential reserves.
Formation of such a bloc must
Evening star., 1939-10-25

give the Anglo French allies the
highest satisfaction. So long as this
combination maintained armed neu-
trality, it would ipso facto provide
protection for the allied right flank
which comprise their vast interests
in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The division OF sentiment Is

preference for Republicans at TINS
time does not even indicate that
they could win. But the fact that
about half Of the voters today
say they would like 10 see the
COP win. whereas less than 40
per cent voted Republican in 1885.
is one indication that the Repuh-
hcan party symbol is once more
regaining some of its popular sp-
peal.
The first question in the survey
asked a cross section of voters in
all parties: Which party would
YOU like TO see win the presiden-
tial election in 1910
The vote of those with opinions
was.
Like Republicans to Win. 5l"o
/ Like Democrats to Win ~
The study found that spproNi-
mately one voter in every five us
per cent? had not yet made up his
mind which party he wanted 10
see win. Since most of the unde-
cided group voted for Roosevelt
in 1886 their future decision Will
have an important bearing on
Democratic prospects.
What party the majority Of
voters Will favor in 1910 depends
largely. of course. on what candi-
dates are selected. In order to
have some rough gauge OF how
much the selection of specific
candidates might affect party
strength, the Institute has run
various opposing can d d ties
against each other in informal
trial heats,
Political observers have lately
been linking the names of Garner
and Farley as possible candidates
for president and vice president
respectively, on the Democratic
ticket, and Dewey and Taft as
candidates on the Republican
ticket.
In a companion question in to

these pairs against each other
with the following results:

Would Prefer
