Germany's interest.

Germany S interest.
Benito unquesionably also was
aware that northern Italy would be
invaded if war broke out in short
order. Where he made his mistake
was in assuming that Adolf wouldn't
go ahead as fast as he did. His notion
apparently was that Germany would
gain ground by degrees, with Italian
moral support; that Italy gradually
would gain from German support
and in this fashion they'd slowly
nibble in on the democracies without
any actual fighting.
In reality Adolf didn't propose to
do any gradual nibbling, though.
He still had his eastern frontier
to take care of and he needed a
source from which to draw raw ma
terials in case the British navy block
AIDED him. His dicker with Russia
followed, to provide for these con-
tingencieS.
Holding the Sack
Benito didn't like the Russo-Ger-
man pact even little bit.
Adolf manifestly is the kind Of
Nazi who can stomach Communists
if he can use them, but Benito is said
to be a genuinely conscientious Fas-
cist, who revolted at belonging to an
axis with Joe Stain in it.
It's pretty we'll established now
that Adolf told him nothing about
his negotiations with Joe until after
the deal was consummated
So much having been accomplish
ed, Adolf precipitated a war i'm
mediately
Germany may get something out
Of it-a whole lot, if Adolf wins or
breaks even. Russia doesn't stand to
lose anything anyway. But Italys
prospect, if Benito stood pat with
Adolf, didn't amount to anything
better than having the northern end
OIL the peninsula turned ntO 4 battle
ground, having its ports blockaded
and spending barrelSful of money for
nothing.
In short, Benito was to be placed
in the position of holding the sack.
Foreign Ministers Count Ciano of
Italy and Joachim Won Ribbentrop
Of Germany had a conference on the
wars eve and reports are that it
wasn't so much as conference as a
dogfight.
They say Ciano expressed II Duce's
opinion that Der Fuehrer's plan is
to mop up Europe and that Adolf
also intends to mop up Italy, if he
succeeds, as soon as he gets around
to it. And, said Ciano (as per un-
verfiaple rumor). if Germany loses
and if Italy has been in it with the
former, Italy will be the chief loser.
Furthermore, diplomatic dope is
that II Duce is personally jealous of
Der Fuehrer, dislikes him like every
thing, and considers him cuckoo.
Be all that as it may, Benito is
vociferously neutral.
And, as they ask in Ireland, "who's
he neutral against?"

way, Belgium, have, up to now, kept
thenr bonds in the investment class,
but the war has given them tre-
mendous jolt. Under current condi-
tons, with huge expenditures for
defense fastened to already top
heavy national debts, l cannot con-
slider any foreign bonds as anything
but speculatiOns.
| cannot see why any American
would want to put his money into
foreign bonds. If anything should
ever make us bitter toward all for
eign nations it is the treatment that
they have given American investors.
At the end of 1888, over 600 issues
Of dollar bonds totalling about So
100000 were outstanding. Of this
amount, 275 issues amounting to 81
O00,0O0, ,000-One third of the total
were IN default. Moreover, these fig
ures do not include the war debts
which these governments owe Uncle
Sam.
How Investors Are Rocked
Here is brief outline of what
these racketeering nations have done
to our investors: A foreign govern
ment defaults on its debt. Its bonds
Immediately drop to default levels,
which means they sell from Is to
so cents on the dollar. Holders of the
bonds lose the interest that is owed
to them. Some are forced to sell the
bonds at huge losses. Meanwhile, the
offending nation collects some cash.
Instead Of using this cash to pay
bond interest and put the bonds back
on an investment basis, the nation
enters the New York bond market
and buys its obligations at 20 to So
cents on the dollar. Then it cancels
the purchased securities and thus
cuts its total debt and total interest
claims.
The result is that the foreign ma
ton benefits itself at the expense of
the American creditor who has no
comeback. This practice, called ere
patriatiOn", cost American investors
over $2,0O0,OOO,0OO in the last few
years. European creditor nations have
clearing system that prevents this
racket. For instance, up until the
guns began to roar, Germany was
paying on debts it owed to British
and French citizens, but left Amer

New Jersey heavyweight last year.
Two-Ton Tony's high ranking posi-

Tony to lead the list. They made
It clear that Tony cannot be con-
sidered = very grave threat to

Heavyweight boxing's sorry state
of affairs is evidenced by the first

Galento the committee ranked, in
order, Bob Pastor, Lou Nova, Max
Baer, Red Burman. Maurice Strick-
land, Nathan Mann. Roscoe Toles,
Johnny Paycheck and Tony Music.
Not long ago the antics of these

questionably his admirers had very
worthy motives in heaping praise
on his head. But they also succeed
ed in putting the boy on the spot.
To live up to his publicity would re-
quire the skill of a genius. If he
fails it will be largely the fault Of
his friends who have built him up
into pitching juggernaut.
He will need all his composure
