But post-war trends would tend to prove that the theory is a noble idea and that's about all. Over in the Orient a well-trained Japanese mili- tary machine is pushing its way further and further into China, a country which it would appear should have right to its own domains without interference but because it lacks the might it loses the right. Of course, it is assumed that the Japanese are convinced they have the right to invade and take what they can by such invasion, but from a distance it would seem to be a nice little victory for might over right. A short time ago the world was a little alarmed HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Empire extends congratula- tions and best wishes today, their birthday anniversary, to the follow- ing: battle with a Royal Coachman tend to pale into insig- nificance reports that the Twenty Ninth Chinese army routed a detachment of Japanese. Reports that water level in a certain mountain stream is down to where the speckled beauties insist on grabbing any fly that appears on the water cause one to pay slight attention to whether Congress is going to adjourn or not, or how about the Alaska bill “War planes chase craft along coast,” says a headline. “Navy will seek two additional light cruisers,” cries another, Oh, heck, what's the use seek.

But Germany started build- ing a new military machine. One of the provisions of the Treaty was that Germany was to stay away from the Rhine demilitarized zone. The Hitler forces °d away until its new army was considered strong enough and then moved in. Germany was supposed to limit her military machine to a certain size. But today the Hitler army and navy is on par with any in the world again and Great Britain is rushing through a gigantic armament building program in yrder to keep abreast. It is a noble thought to reflect that might does Mot make right.
