The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-02-09

The sentimental valentine,
heavy sCith Lavender and old lace,
sUhich gre,O from an early Gus
tom.
ably expressed by the satirist, Alex
ander Pope:
"You struttin' cockatoo Of man
You are my Valentine, / know.
And for a year I'll have to see
Your face and form wher'er I 60.
But get this through your leather
pate
A year is all you'll get of me,
For after that you'll get the gate
And never mair my face shall
see."
In later years st. Valentines day
has developed into a time for ex-
changing gifts, though the comic
valentine has retained most of the
favor it enjoyed 30 or 40 years ago.
In those days nobody in the COM
munity was immune from receiving
one of these anonymous shafts of
criticism except members of clergy.
The name, Valentine, comes from
a religious of the Third century
who reconciled lovers by his interest
in their lives. Because of this in
terest, and because his life ended in
martyrdom, he became the patron
saint of lovers.

Background for the Coming Crisis:
France VS.. Italy in Mediterranean
Rebel Victory in Spain Leaves
ii Duce Free to
Press Demands
By JOSEPH w. LaBINE

AS the first month of 1899
drew to a painful close all
Europe sat watching bombs
burst over Spain. Barcelona,
the Loyalist capital, fell by
inches before Rebel troops
who claimed to be Spaniards
but came largely from Italy
and Germany. One of the
closest observers of this holo-
caust was Edouard Daladier,
premier of France.
For M. Daladier knew that
once Barcelona fell, Italy's
hands would be freed from
their Spanish obligation. Then
Benito Mussolini would be
ready to press the program
of expansion which he hopes
will make Italy the dominant nation
of the Mediterranean.
France would be the chief victim
of this expansion because French
and Italian interests clash at sew
eral key points in northern Africa.
Each wishes to rule the Mediter-
ranean, France because she has
done so for 20 years, and Italy be-
cause her Fascist government be-
ieves this is Italy's destiny"
Moot questions are therefore
pushed to the front as Spain's civil
war draws near its inevitable Rebel
victory. Will the romantic Mediter-
ranean be Europe's next battle
ground? Will France and Italy come
to blows over proprietorship of Tuni-
STA, Corsica, Nice and Savoy? Will
their conflict over Suez canal pro-
prietorship and the Adds Ababa-
Djibouti railroad draw Great Brit
ain into the battle?
The background for this crisis-to-
come dates to 1915. That year, in
the treaty of London, England and
France won Italy's aid against the
central powers by promising to split
Germany's African colonies should
the Allies win.
That Italy once had grievance
is the opinion of most European OBJ
servers. At Versailles the treaty of
London was completely overlooked.
Not until 1924 did Great Britain get
around to ceding Italy the unimpor-
tant territory of Jubaland, and that
under protest. Stubborn France held
out until 1885 when Premier Pierre
Laval agreed to give Italy a worth
less strip of desert south of Libya,
another between French Somaliland
and Italian Eritrea, and the island
of Doumeirah.
Treaty Never Ratified.
The Mussolini-Laval treaty had
few merits and even less honor. 1t
was never ratified and therefore the
coded territories have never been
turned over to Italy.
Since 1886 Italy has been busy
consolidating her Mediterranean
gains and fighting the Spanish civil
war. If the past two years have
nurtured imperialistic aims in the

Only Clergymen We're Immune
From Comic Valentine of COS

Why st. Valentines day should at
once be an occasion for fearful sem
timentalism and raucous buffoonery
is not the mystery it appears at first
glance.
The bleeding heart decorated with
old lace and scented with lavender
once favorite token of love-
sprang from an early Roman festi-
val in honor of the goddess, Febru-
alta Juno, which Christians abolished
by way of making it less objection
able. But then it became too senti-
mental, which paved the way for the
cheap comic valentines which
sprang into favor late last century.
AS celebrated in England and Scot
land, st. Valentines day brought
maids and bachelors together at a
festival where they drew lots to dis
cover which maid would be each
youths valentine" These imagi-
nary engagements lasted for a year,
during which the young man was
bound to the service of his valen-
tine. Sometimes they ended in real
engagements but more often one or
the other party was dissatisfied with
his lot. This gave rise to custom
of ridiculing the valentine custom,
