Therj has never been a time wl cj
so many people, of alf nations, hart
been so earnestly trying to prevent
war. Yet as I write this there are two
important Wars now in progres, and
the threat of war is far more jnoenac
iifc all over the world, than it wn>
on tip very eve of the World Wnr
whifph started 23 year? ago with fier
nianjf's invasion of Belgium.
In Spain the bloodiest, most bitte
war of all time has been raging now
for mom than a year. Within th
limited AH* of a single nation, pnor"
people have been killed,in prdportion
to the population and the nnmber of
troope lengaged, than in any war in
all history. When the whole, trut
gtocy df the Spanish war is toM i*
n{8 shoek the world.
" Japan and China aro at war. Then
has. bejn no formal declaration .-rf

another's ^territory and is imet will;
aOibi WBstance, that looks like ?
tha other nation
Slt^ryitig to find ways to keep frorv

In Spnin, tlio underlying cause ??!
the war is a conflict of ideas. It has

dertook to set up a republic. The?
began a struggle lor control pf th.>

and the advoeates- of a less rad'cM

Shi Cbmmunists got control of the

Gvimany which ?s "bont the saw

Soldiers and equipment to the rev

is giving similar aid to the Loyalists*
Each side Ha in is to l)e fighting fo"
the rights of man. J cannot see how
any American can reconcile the cl.vi'i

OWENS BUILDS HOME
Floyd Owens has almost complete.I
his new, stucco home, on his lot, near
the Webster post office. He and ''is
family will occupy it, soon.
for years. It is giving the rest of th?
world more concern than the affair
in Spain. The Chines.* outnumber the
Japanese more than five <-o one, bin
they ar,? badly organized and ha\ .
not the fighting resources of the Jap?
Som<. European nations and our ow.i
country have been helping China re
organize her finances and obtai..
tore:gn cr.'dits. Their fear fa th t.
Russia may take ? hand against .J;: -
pan, which would give Germany a
chance to attack Russia from the,
other side, and that would start
another European war.
Germany wants to crush Commuu
ism, but she wants more to obta?a
land and resources for her excefej
population, and Russia has those.
AMERICA . protector
We are probably physically sufo
from the present wars or any other
which might develop from them. No
enemy is lively to try to invade the
United States. But we are under %
pledge, first expressed in the Monro.
Dortr'ne and reaffirmed as lately as
19oG, to protect the nations of Sout'a
America against conquest by a for
eign power.
It has been proposed in Washing
ton that we lend a few naval veawg '
to Brazil. Brazil wants th?;m to irai-i
seamen for its new navy, which is
being built in .American shipyards*
for Brazil is afraid of Ger
many. Germany has been planting
settlers in Brazil for a long tone.
