PEACE ?
"Peace on the continent" is said to
be the watchword of the German for
eign office.
To get the so-called peace the
Germans have ruthlessly attacked
their neighbors, disregarded pledges
and run roughshod over natural
rights of individuals.
Suppose that peace is made, under
the impact of the German military
triumph. How long will it last?
Does Germany expect all peoples of
Europe to acquiesce in Teutonic su

CAREFUL HUNTERS
Now that hunting season is about
to get under way throughout the
United States it might he well to
readers of The Enterprise of the dan
gers inherent in hunting vowon,'
Scores of nimrods are cut down
every year through the premature
discharge of weapons, carelessly
handled. Other victims fall a prey
to the nervous hunter who shoots at
the bushes that move rather than at
game in full view.
Those who hunt this fall and win
ter might save their own Uvea by
rigorously observing safety codes. In
addition, they might spare innocent
bystanders.

SHELL VICTIMS
?
Athens, Oct 80.?Information from
usually reliable sources in the Dode
canese Islands said today that some
600 Italian solders had been killed or
wounded in a "recent" British naval
shelling of the Italian-fortified Is
land of Skarpanto.
The soldiers were taken by sur
prise while sleeping in barracks, the
report said, and only 800 escaped.
The barracks and a wireless station
were reported destroyed. I
The dead, it was said, were buried |
hastily in a long ditch.
Looking at Washington
(Continued from page oae)
This is the sole justification of a
democracy. The minority, beaten in a
fair election, must patriotically ac
cept the will of the majority and co
operate in behalf of the common weal.
Unless the minority is willing to do
this, democratic government will in
evitably perish from the face of the
earth.
Federal Loan Administrator Jesse
H. Jones recently conferred with T.
V. Soong, president <ot. the Bank of
China, in order to facilitate farther
loans to China in exchange for the
defense products needed by the Unit
ed States. Mr. Jones made it clear
that financial aid will be increased
to the Japanese-harried Chinese na
tion and suggested that strategic
metals would be obtained. Mr. Soong
did not disclose what China intends
to buy but pointed out that his coun
try needed no trucks. The probabili
ty is that the money will be used to
secure gasoline, munitions and equip
ment China, it is thought, can han
dle the problem of small arms and
small arms ammunition.

The 'general situation in the Far
East apparently reflects Japanese ap^
prehension over American reann
? l' ? . "...
di&il ma ftnfi nam ftprott
With the bulk of the Japanese
Amy fired in its three-year-old war
in China, the Japanese nation is hard
ly in a position to challenge the Unit
ed States, mneh less a possible com
bination of Western nations. Re
ports from Hongkong disclose that
necessary spare parts fbr American
submarines have been shipped to the
British port for storage against pos
sible use. Officials, in this country,
we understand, declare that -Hong
kong represents practically the only
safe place of storage' and that no par
ticular significance attaches to the
shipment of spare parts which was
bade several months ago. Just the
same, experts point oat that a fleet
of submarines, based on Hongkong,
might be able to intercept the Japan
ese supply line to China and possibly
cot off the source of supplies from
Japan upon which the Japanese Army
of invasion depends.
There is some reason to believe
that Japanese officials, in joining
hands .with Germany, and Italy,
were resorting to a desperate bluff
in the hope that the United States
would become alarmed and abandon
resistance to Japan's New Order iir
the Far East The reaction in the
United Stages was strong enough to
convince Japanese that there would
be no appeasement and, consequent
ly, the outcome of developments in
the Pacific would depend almost en
tirely upon the future actkm of Japan.
The Japanese know that their bluff
has been called. The ohly consolation
that they have managed to get so far
is the suspicion, that, perhaps, the
United States may be bluffing. This
conclusion rests upon the dangerous
premise that, upon no condition,
would the United States invite a war
with Japan.
