. Ip on the best wav of avoiding war
The defeat of the amendments to the neutrality legis-
lation has created one of the most dangerous situations
this country has faced in decades, and the threatened
schism in the British government will serve further to
bolster confidence in the dictators and the totalitarian
states
The only nation which seems unaffected bv the divid-
ed approach to the problem is Poland, staunch and de-
termined as always in its turbulent history Marshal Ed-
ward Smigly-Rydz. in an interview Sunday, said that
Poland will fight for Danzig (the current critical point on
world maps), even if she has to fight alone ‘'If all other
methods of settling the Danzig problem fail and Danzig
is occupied by the Germans. Poland will consider that a
cause of war." the Polish commander-in-chief declared
Coming at this time, when the scales are so nearly
perfectly balanced in the game of European power politics,
the defeat to peace suffered in the United States and the
threatened break in British thought are capable of creat-
ing a likely excuse for war
A study of events just prior to each of Hitler s land
grabs shows that the former corporal has one of the subtl-
est brains in Europe—always he waits until England is
occupied with other problems vital to her welfare, when
he feels that he will be safest in launching another one
of his drives. The scene for the past several weeks of 1
world-wide attention. Danzig streets may feel the tread
of German boots before England realizes that the Cham-
berlain-Churchhill debate has more than local importance *
Walter Lippman, following a recent trip in Europe
writes that the democracies are getting stronger, that
Hitter realizes the time is fast approaching when he may ]
no longer be certain of winning a European war. and that i

the German dictator may take advantage of the slightest
excuse for launching his long-awaited drive against the
European democracies
All of which connotes a most dangerous situation on
the continent European history shows that when one of
either group of nations was overwhelmingly powerful,
peace was the order of the day It shows also that when
the power is balanced so that either may win or lose, war
is almost inevitable If such be the case and the democ-
racies are indeed approaching the might of Genpanv and
Italy, it is not fantastic to suppose that the British and

THIRD TERM
A consideration overlooked by all the group who are
Shouting so throatily for a third term for President Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt is the fact that forcing a third-teim on
any man (regardless of whether it is just or noti is a
definite imposition
The record shows that any president who survives his
term more than a few years is a rarity, even among those
Who serve only one term Two such tempestous terms as
have been served by Franklin Roosevelt are enough to
kill any man. and asking him to serve yet another,
whether he wants it or not. is nothing more than inviting
a man to his own funeral
Without attempting to say whether or not Roosevelt
should serve another term, or even whether he wants to
serve another term we say that those who demand an-
other term are extremely careless of another man’s per-
son and health
