BRISBANE THIS WEEK Honor Dead at Vimy Spanish War Pitiless Russia Aids Loyalists Hitler Watches Spain The dedication of the magnificent war monument, designed by a Ca uaaiau uiusi, tc* cently unveiled by the king of England in mem ory of the Cana dian soldiers that fell at Vimy Ridge, is impor tant to all our friends north of the boundary in Canada. It will interest, also, all Americans that were sent abroad in that famous ngnt, with which Avtkar Brlaban* we had nothing to do except lose our men and our money. American soldiers, who liked the Canadian and Australian troops better than any others they met, according to statements made by many, testify to the courage with which the colonial Englishmen fought at Vimy Ridge and else where. Statistics of the war show that, on the side of the allies, the per centage of death was higher among the Canadians than among any oth er troops involved, excepting the French themselves, who fought at their own frontiers to defend their own homes. Sixty thousand Canadians lie bur ied, each one an “unknown sol dier,” around that great monument The king of England, after a long and really admirable speech of ap preciation, lowered the flags that hid the monument which, as he said, will forever honor the cour age of the Canadians that fought and that lie dead and buried. The war that killed so many mil lions, blowing them to pieces, leav ing them to die shattered and agon izing on the battlefield; suffocating, making them insane with the poi son gas just coming into fashion, seemed between 1914 and 1918 as horrible as any war could be. But the civil war, the worst, most savage, pitiless and ferocious of all wars, now going on in Spain, makes the big war comparatively mild. Lord Rothermere’s London Daily Mail eclipses in the horror of one published statement all stories of horror in the war and goes beyond anything that could possibly be be lieved. When the French newspaper, the Friend of the People, described fighters for Madrid's radical gov ernment digging up and throwing from their graves the bodies of Catholic nuns, that horror seems beyond belief. ► But Lord Rothermere’s newspa per prints the statement that other nuns ALIVE were seized—three of them—their clothing saturated with gasoline, and burned to death. The Daily Mail also quotes the statement that in the city of Barce lona, when the radical forces had conquered the rebellious insurgent inhabitants, “any Catholic priest in the city was butchered without mer cy.” Russia is, according to reliable reports, in constant communication with the Madrid government by ra dio. Newspapers in England, and the more conservative newspapers in France, declare that Russia, in ad dition to advising Madrid concern ing the immediate civil war and helping the Spanish government by the purchase of Spanish bonds, is also sending by radio detailed in formation as to the organization in Spain of a “Soviet government” similar to that existing in Russia. France, thanks to the existing al liance with Russia — resented by many of the old-fashioned French men, who ask, “Is Stalin the real ruler of France?”—is under pres sure from Russia to help the Ma drid government against the insur gents. If Spain should become really so vietized, under the guidance of Rus sia, the Spanish peninsula would be practically a branch and a depen dency of Soviet Russia at the south west comer of Europe. Russia, whose planes have been taking information on manufactur ing poison gas and building fac tories to the nations that are friend ly to her in central Europe, might build up a chain of Communist states too powerful even for the dic tator governments of Italy and Ger many, and the remaining “demo cratic" government of Great Brit ain. It is not a happy time for Europeans, or for any interested in Europe’s future peace and welfare. Hitler is reported on the point of tiding with the Spanish insurgents against the radical Madrid regime, because of savage attacks i^nade on Nazi officers,in Spain.
