International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDVOLD

One of the centerS of international
interest continues to be found in Mos
cow, where with many bitches and de-
lays, negotiations still are going on be-
tween the Soviet and the British gov
ernment: Great Britain wants a mill
tary alliance with the Russians, and
they really want it, too-only they are
not half as anxious as are the Brit
ish, and they feel that they can afford
to wait and sit tight. The British
can't.
Exactly what goes on behind the
thick walls of the Kremlin, no one
knows or, rather, it is not reported.
But a couple of times each week an
nouncement is made that the special
British envoy, William Strang, has
wired his home government for fresh
instructions, and that they are being
sent. Whereupon the Kremlin walls
again become impenetrable. There
is-in spite of the delay-no doubt
that treaty will be forthcoming, for
it is the one missing, the one most
important link in that chain which
Great Britain is trying to forge
against dictators.
Silence in BurgOs.
1t is little enough one hears from
Moscow about the Anglo-Russian dis
cussions, and it is still less that comes
out of Burgos, the capital of General
Francisco Francois Spain. There were
hriof f0 tho nffnof hot Gala
azzo Ciano, Mussolini's son-in-law
and foreign minister, had been re-
ceived with open arms by the victor
ious Spanish fascist generalissimo, but
there has been nothing in connec-
ton with the rumors to the effect
that Ciano had gone to Spain in an
effort to induce Spain to align itself
with the Rome-Berlin axis.
Only one statement has been cred
tied to either of the parties negotiat-
ing, namely FRANCOIS reported utter
ance that Spain wants to remain
neutral, and that there isn't anything
in Europe to go to war about, anyhow;
whether that statement is genuinely
meant or is camouflage intended to
calm disturbed minds concerning
possible German-Italian-Sp al
liance-that is not yet known.
Through the fact that Germany and
Italy helped Franco win the Spanish
civil war they are, of course, in posi-
ton to exert tremendous pressure on
him. But nothing really is known
except that Franco, in general way,
is sympathetic to the German and the

'BO Wants Bacon,
Eggs For Breakfast

A young hobo knocked at the
back door of a Granite Falls home
one morning recently and asked
the housewife, already in the midst
of a big wash, for something to
eat. She stopped her washing and
prepared a breakfast for the wan
derer, the breakfast consisting of
buttered toast, a doughnut and
coffee-just exactly the same as
the family had eaten. AS she
handed the tray to the 'bo on the
steps, he looked it over and then
asked, Haven't you any bacon
and eggs?" He was told that the
family didn't have bacon and eggs
for breakfast and that he would
either have to eat that or nothing.
He ate the toast and coffee.
