Europe’s New Sample of Old Diplomacy The Spanish government has prepared a “White Book” | Tumors. which presents its case to the family of nations much in the same manner of a little boy “telling” on the, neighborhood This “White Book” is: supposed to be a complete and un- tinted resume of the conditions under which the government was forced into civil war and how it was unfairly clouted by outsiders awaiting their chance to scavenge the marbles that All this is well and good. There should be.a frank record of a situation which has been so covered with the slime of intrigue and covert plotting and so fraught with the danger of a general war. But the record doesn’t end there. Cables report that the “White Book,” as prepared for the League of Nations Council, deals mainly with “Italian aggres- sion” against Spain, with little mention of Germany’s part on the Rebel side. The only logical deduction is that the Loyalists, with the silent approval of France and Great Britain, were mov- ing to minimize German intervention, allow Hitler to withdraw from Spain without loss of prestige and thus bring about a split Summed up, this means that diplomacy, the strict ethical and myriad peace and anti-Fascist leagues have brought us no nearer, in actual practice, to international honesty than we were before, It does not take a genius at modern history to recall how the allies colored half the facts and concealed the other half in order to drag the United States into the World war. It is on|~ nese were offered an easy grab of German possessions in the Orient. And in the case of Rumania, which sold out to the the record that Japan sided with the allies because the Japa- allies ‘merely because they: could promise more war spoils, we have a classic example of intrigue on the grand scale. After the World war came a flood of “White Books,” “Red Books,” and “Yellow Books” issued by the individual govern- ments in a feeble effort to whitewash their own guilt.

Further evidence to the same effect is now provided In Holland the voters gave a strong endorsement to the “middle of the road” policies of Premier Hendrikus Colijn. The Dutch Nazi party, which had expected to win at least 10 seats in Parliament, apparently gets no more than four.

There are several ways of looking at the probability that the president will appoint Senator Joe court, and in each of them you can detect more than a trace of absurdity. The situation will become even more farcical if it turns out that this is the only seat on the supreme bench which Roosevelt will have to fill for a long time to come. If the net re- sult of four months of historic hub- t, even before that developed . Rumors that F. D.
