COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

phasis and publicity, that Nazi Ger
many annexed Austria and Sudeten-
land by the threat of her bombing
planes, and that she proposes to
bring 20,000,000 more population un-
der her sway by the same means.
Goering does not name the territories
he proposes to annex in this way; but
he makes it clear that any nation
which resists Hitler's will have its
cities bombed from the air.
A fine, humane way, this, to estab-
lish world overshadowing empire.
How many lives have the three big
relationships sacrificed since they
started to expand?
No one knows. The lowest esti-
mate of the loss of life in Spain, sol
diers, civilians, women and children,
is fully a million. In China, it must
be more. In Ethiopia, where in the
total absence of medical supplies and
care, even a moderate wound means
death, the figures are doubtless vastly
greater than accounts of the fighting
show
The House committee has reported
the largest amy appropriation since
the World War; just under $780,
100000 There's no occasion for sur
prise. BY comparison with dictator
ships, democratic governments are
much handicapped in plotting Oh
springing war; but when it comes to
paying for war, Uncle Sam can out
spend Germany, Italy and Japan, all
three.

half OF 1893 scheduled to be mailed
to more than $4,000 property owners
April |, j. w. Wendell, Butler County
treasurer, this week continued to
speed up collection of delinquent
levies. A total of $70,064 in over

solution of the railroad problem
would do more than almost anything
else to increase employment-but it
can't be found by hairsplitting on
what is undue, unjust, unfair and de-
structive.
