WAR PROSPECTS AT A GLANCE
For some time now the Gab Bag's special War Prospects
department has been busy checking the European situation.
As a result, they now release their findings which, we hope,
will not; interfere with the stock market.
According to all the experts, a war in Europe now, or in
the spring,'would result in victory for Germany and Italy
unless the United States sided with France and England.
But, with England and France"
preparing at breakneck speed,
the longer Germany and Italy
wait the less chance they will
have to come out victorious.
It's surprising how people in
this country during the past year
.have changed their attitude to
ward the U. S. getting mixed up
in a war. Where a year ago the
majority of folks were for keeping
out of such war, now they feel
that the sooner Hitler and Mus
solini get the tar whipped out of
them the better, and that the U.
S. will have to help do it.
We remember back during the
World War how worried we were
when news came that the Ger
mans had advanced within not so
many miles of Paris. We were

sure that if the Germans licked
the Allies they would then come
right on over to the United
States. And nowadays a lot of
people feel that if Germany and
Italy whipped France and Eng
land. it would be but a matter of
time before they would turn their
attention to this country.
And so, many people reason,
rather than let Germany and
Italy whip France and England,
the U. S. had better pitch in and
fight with them rather than take
a chance of having to whip them
all alone later.
It's all very puzzling. Just be
tween you and us, we don't want
to go fight anybody. And anyone

romantic ard full of thrilling ad-'
venture should get a copy of last
week's Life magazine and have a
look at the pictures showing the
Spanish Loyalists and the civilian
population fleeing into France
from Spain. A look at the pictures
of little children, some with but
one leg, some with but one arm,
and some with no limbs at all,
should convince that war nowa
days is not confined to soldiers,
but to babies and children and
folks. The youngsters pictured
had their bodies blasted by bombs
and shells; thousands of others
were killed outright, just because
men couldn't agree on how the
government should be run.
And the Spanish war, horrible
as it has been, is but child's play
compared to a war between the
great powers of Europe—a war
that is coming sooner or later —
and which you may have to fight.
Or will you?

THIS AND THAT
There's an argument going cm
right behind us as to whether or
not whisky will eat up a person's
stomach, if taken in excess.
If whisky would eat up a man's
stomach then our Uncle Culpep
per would have had to been re
lined years ago. Not that he is
an excessive drinker, but because
Orange county liquor is so mean
that the folks down there use lye
as a chaser.
And that's where the saying "no
soap" came from. Because when
Aunt Frousy got all her meat
scraps ready, she found no lye.
Someone truthfully remarked
the other day that when a rich
man goes to the bank, he goes on
business, but when a poor man
goes he goes to make arrange
ments.
And when we go, it's just for
the exercise.
