C„ under the act oi Congress of March 3, 1879 Friday, March 27, 1936 Source oi War Talk Where is all the war talk coining from these days, and who wants war? We think no one wants war, yet there seems to be a few nations that are very anxious for the territorial property of others, and if there is war territorial greed will be the cause. Apparently there are but three nations that are anxious for expansion and they are Japan, Germany and Italy. And it now seems that Italy has had about as much of that central African heat as she craves. She apparently has not found that marvelous wealth she had hoped to steal from Ethiopia. Of course, German wants the world, a desire that she has not yet satisfied. She has the same kind of greed that Rome once had. Japan, doubtless the world’s greatest dagner point, has demonstrated her greed to dominate other peo ple and appropriate their territory, especially those of China. Neither of the countries adjoining Japan, German or Italy wants any territory from them. They want peace. All France or Belgium want from Germany is to be left alone, and get the honest prom ise that she will not try to kill their people and in vade their territory. And the same thing applies to all the other countries of both Europe and Asia. Japan insists it is her duty to invade China, and her next move will be to jump on the Phillipines. Japan and German both stand in fear of the 175 mil lion Russians who have made such marked progress since the death of the czar. Russia will be the bal ance wheel that will have much to do in averting a dangerous world war during the coming century for it has not a war spirit and, in principle, is not a war ing nation. Charity Test at the Cross Roads The charity of the American people is being test ed at this time by the sore afflictions of more than 250,000 people whose homes have been destroyed and the savings of a life time swept away by devast ating floods over large areas of twelve or more states. In nearly two hundred cases human beings have been buried in watery graves during these past few days, and disease threatents others by the tens of thous ands. The condition is really appaling and without the kind hearts and willing hands of others these thousands of people are subject to starvation. If every person able to give a dollar and never miss it would come to the rescue of these people, it would relieve the immediate suffering. We need to remember that when we cast our bread upon the waters it never returns to us void, but re turns to us multiplied many fold. While we travel with light burdens, let us remember our less fortu nate brothers and help them carry their heavy loads just now. Germany Wants War Of course, Germany wants war. She says she must and will defend her honor. However, if that is all she proposes to do, there will be no war, because, as we understand it, she has no honor to defend. It now appears that the greatest mistake the allies made at the close of the war was their failure to march from the Rhine to Berlin. We simply forgot that a crippled snake can bit and failed to hit hard enough at the right time, or she would be glad to keep her treaty promises now. When enlightened civilized nations fail to live up to their obligations, there is a war danger, because the more ignorant will follow, and when all civilized and uncivilized peoples get mad, there is always trou ble. Now, if the Rhineland is invaded and war follows, we will know who brought on such a war, and Ger many cannot try to plead an alibi, as she did in the case of the World War. It is quite clear that we will have to watch Germany, or we will get stabbed in the dark. Too Many Outside Activities Marttin County schools are holding Saturday ses sions to make up time lost during the month of Feb ruary. It might be well for parents to participate to the extent that the term might prove successful. Casual observations tend to show that there are too many out-side activities to guarantee maximum pro duction during six days in the school room. The school schedule is getting a bit lop-sided with too many athletic events on one side and not enough honest-to-goodness studying on the other. The pub lic schools number more friends than enemies by far, but a lop-sided program allowed to continue will re verse the number in time. DK. V. H.
