There is no question, now, but that Germany and Italy aided and abetted the insurrection led by General Franco. They furnished the ammunition, the artillery, the airplanes and the transportation, The embattled common people of Spain have, in reality, been fighting not only the rebels but the military skill and resources of Germany and Italy. Two months ago, it will be remembered, France was striv- ing for ajnon-intervention pact which was finally agreed to and then blandly ignored by most of the signatory nations. Ger- many and Italy went right ahead with help for the rebels and Russia ignored it to aidthe Spanish government. There is some reason toibelieve that the French government may have winked the knowing eye at violations by some of its nationals. Why the two Fascist nations were so interested is not wholly cldar, for each may have been motivated by different causes. Mussolini is entirely realistic and practical, ‘He wants cer- tain concessions from England with regard to the Mediterran- san sea and, particularly, he wants loans to finance the develop- udah, He couldn't get them without being obstreperous and so he didnot hesitate to bluster and threaten France and England til they decided to buy him off. His ends accomplished, Mus- polini is willing to let Franco and his patriots stew in their own ice, If they are defeated and dispersed, as they certainly will e if no more help is forthcoming, that is nothing for Il Duce o worry about. He isn’t so much interested in promoting the bause of Fascism as in advancing the welfare of Italy. hbly has made himself believe Nazi propaganda to such an ex- t that he really feels it is up to Fascism to save the world om Communism, hence his unwillingness to accept the offers f Rrdnce and England for a return of some German colonies nd edonomic concessions which would be of value to the Reich. Strange as it seems in the impersonal atmosphere of world liplomacy, Hitler may be contending for a principle. Of course, if Hitler can make his attitude stand up he will nimore in the end and it may be he is looking in that direc- He is in a comparatively poor position to run a bluff.

The Proportion Counts Students of government agree that sound policy permits s it really needs. On this basis it is interesting to note the oportion of the government’s expenditures to national income s worked out by experts. 4 This is a highly determining factor in the tax equation ice it is easier for a man with $100 to pay $5 than for a man ith $ to pay 50 cents. In 1921 federal expenditures were 9.3 per cent of the na- onal income. We still were feeling the effects of the war and “jerry” financing. In 1927 and 1928 this figure had dropped to 3.8 per cent, ie low for the post-war era. The next year say a slight rise nd then a more rapid lift to 10.2 per cent in 1982, the last year the Hoover administration. The New Deal had it at 10.8 1933 but in 1934 it rose to 13.6, dropping in 1935 to 12.8. On that basis we seem to have passed the peak, for the in- ed national income in 1936 will bring about a reduction in P proportion spent by the government. There is no prospect, however, that it will ever again reach le minimum of 1927 and 1928. Expenditures for social secur- bey and new services approved by the people will prevent that. i Continual Advancement H Few sciences have advanced like that of engineering, yet neers still have a lot to learn. ® Only a few years ago a four-lane express highway was Silt between Trenton and New Brunswick, N. J., labelled as acme of perfection in highway design.| The lanes were fully marked and-every provision was thought to have n made for safety. “ But in 1934, more than 90 persons were killed on it, the jority of them as the result of head-on collisions, The engi- ers scratched their heads and returned to the attack. Eventually they split the road, moving the huge concrete bs 12 feet apart by means of air pressure in a mammoth re- pa of the system used when the Bismarck-Mandan concrete ‘was lifted and then widened a few years ago. space between the slabs became a parkway and each the road now is a one-way affair. Head-on collisions have been eliminated and the death rate dropped sharply. The engineers have learned something. eA film actress fainted during 2 Hollywood cafe brawl.

This is the sixth and Jast.of the series. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 2.—The new, con- gress and President Roosevelt are likely to do more about government reorganization than has been accom- plished in the last 25 years of talk But old-timers in Wash- ington are keeping thelr fingers One of the most encouraging facts for those who hope for a@ rejiggering of the scores of federal departments, bureaus, commissions, and adminis- trations (the latest count is 138) is and his advisers openly recognize the fact that reor- ganization in itself is not a means of making important savings. This bit of realism has been absent in past discussions of the problem. Roosevelt makes clear that the pri- mary purpose of reorganization is more business-like administration of Economies can be achieved only through cutting out government functions and Roopevelt isn’t expected to recommend cutting out any major ones.

It will be reintroduced and may provide more money then it did last year. bankruptcy ganizations and investment trusts is possible, following SEC reports on those subjects. Liberalization of the social security act to make its cost lighter on employes will be proposed —and may gather more strength than it has now. Favorable action toward 9 single six-year presidential term seems uh- likely at this time. The administration is expected to seek a more effective food and drug law, which will be passed if it puts on enough heat.

Flegel in North Dakota Uni- versity School of Education Record.) +e ‘The illogical division of school dis- tricts in Sargent county is obvious both from the point of view of the distances pupils have to travel and from the point of view of school sup- port.

If any of them had met on the mesa or were aware of the others’ mis- sions, they did not mention the fact. Only Pearl Pierre made any remark about why he had been outside, “I think the road up the can- yon will be passable tomorrow,” he announced. “It has stopped snowing. The men from Santa Fe may have found they could not get thrdugh and turned back.” He looked at the assembled company as though expecting contradiction, but, when no one he walked away. Soon the others went to their rooms. They were all more tired than they cared to | th admit. The next morning Ramon /Vas- quez sought out Professor Shaw. and invited him into his room. “T’'ve been wondering, Professor, about your archeological work here on the mesa,” Ramon said when he had seated the older man comfortably. His manner was conciliatory. There was now none of the brusque suspicion he had dis- played so recently toward the pro- fessor. “You may not have guessed that from what I said yesterday, but my nerves were Pretty well shot. Please forget about that.” “It never did disturb me, young man,” replied the archeologist coolly. “As a man of science, I hysteria everyone in this house- held has been feeling.

But that obsidian knife caught my attention. I was in- terested when you said it prob- ably had some religious signifi- cance. Have you found any signs of old Indian pueblos on this mesa?” “Oh, yes,” answered the pro- fessor. “At one time, there must have been a great. many people living here in what was probably a very extensive pueblo. Of course, you know the Indians liked to build on high places, es- pecially an elevation like Thun- der Mesa which has only one trail down to the plains below.” “Protection against enemies and all that,” Ramon offered the pro- fessor a cigar. “And there's plenty of water here, apparently.” “Yes. This house is built on the foundations of the main pueblo, and the hacienda well is le same one the Indians used. But I’ve been unable to make any first hand examination of the ground plan of the pueblo, for the house basement seems to have been constructed right over it, and the present owners are not at all interested in tearing up the floor of their cellar to further archeo- poeical knowlege.
