Hitler. reared in European turmoil, knows that some day he must make good. That is the reason he shows his teeth from time to time to the world He was doubtless taking a long shot in the Span- ish_incident, more or less confident in the belief that no one would call his hand so long as the overt act was against a lesser power in no paosition to do much of anything except take it on the chin. But Hitler’s fleet was in the Mediterranean; almost sacred British waters. Thus the Port Almeria inci- dent creates delicate situation. Britain already has made its overture for peace by suggesting an apology from the Spanish government for the bomb- ing of a German ship which is reported to have in- cited the Germans to retaliate. It is an effort to pull the chestnuts out of the fire. England has played that role very well on innumerable occasions. Perhaps, they must feel a kinship with England that depends cn something stronger than sentiment. Perhaps his- torians would do well to consider the part that elec- trical communication has played in cementing to- gether colonies and home country, and the even greater part that it is destined to play when the King’s majesty becomes a living presence wherever the British flag flutters in the breeze.
