Senators stopped just short of the 100 mark vester- day afternoon in introduction of bills, end of the day finding the 98th Senate bill in the hopper.

(Philadelphia Record) Russia’s quiet attempts to organmize a “Black Sea Entente” give eloquent expression to Soviet fears of a Hitler drive to the East. In the New York Times. Harold Denny sees Russian Foreign Minister Litvinoff seeking a pact between Tur Rumania, Bulgaria and, possibly, Greece. The objective is stated as “safeguarding the peace of the Black Sea region.” Rumania is reported no less anxious to line up a bloc of nations to resist Hitler. King Carol’s plans contemplate an alliance between Rumania, Poland and ”Jugosluvm Poland’s recent chilliness in the face of 4 Hitler’s blandishments gives reason to believe she might join such an arrangement, and despite Jugo- .. Slavian friendship to Mussolini, the fear of Hitler in that country is not to be under-estimated. Too, Il Duce might not object to having an anchor to wind- ward to strengthen his own hand in dealing with Der Fuehrer. All these and similar speculations however, rest upon one unknown factor: The strength of Russia— politically and economically as well as in a military way. I is no secret that British diplomacy has en- visaged, not without a certain complacency, a German war with Russia. The policy attributed to the Clive- den set is one of encouraging just such a conflict, on the ground that, with England staying out of it, she “would be bound to emerge as the dominant Power, since both combatants probably would exhaust them- . selves. This notion has been put forward as a reason for British unwillingness to interfere with Hitler's “drang nach osten.” But while Russia hes reason to expect trouble been built, with the waters of San Francisco e - President | those in advance, $12.00; six months, in advance, $6.00 | s a two- | ON A MODERN ‘TREASURE ISLAND?’ the Golden policy in reverse. That is, a war between the Democ- exhaust themselves and leave Communism astride the | Continent. (New York Times) miles an hour was considered a | respectable speed for an airplane. Today we fly from city to city at 200 miles an hour. In 1931 Stainforth of the Royal Air Force won the Schneider Trophy with a record of 4075 miles an hour. Lieutenant | Francesco Agello topped that in 1934 with 440.6 miles an hour, which still remains the finest achievement in straightaway flight. A few weeks ago Test Pilot H. Lloyd Child was reported to have made over 575 miles an hour in a dive. And now comes Lieutenant Troy Keith with a vertiginous drop of three and a half miles at a speed which caused him to lose consci- ousness and which may have reached 670 miles an hour. Out of the exceptional record-breaking ma- In 1913 fifty planes of today have evolved. Is there a limit Tests made at Langley Field, Virginia, a few years 1go show that before the speed of sound is reached (about 750 miles an hour) the air is compressed in front of the wings. The engine must therefore push or pull along not only the plane but a mass of air. A beautifully streamlined body becomes no more ef- fective than an aerial scow. This barrier of com- pressed air is not insuperable, but it would cost much in engine power to overcome it. Lieutepant Keith must therefore have reached nearly the highest practically attainable speed if he dropped at 670 miles an hour, or about 11 miles a minute. performances mean.

Assuming the frontal area of a pilot to be four square feet, his head-on resistance would be about a ton if he were completely exposed. He dare not thrust out a hand lest it be broken at the wrist. And yet he slips through the air with no sense of pressure, the brain of a mighty, com- plex mechanical bird. Man has indeed discovered what Solomon called “the way of an eagle in the ai and outdone him Tragedy on the Border | (Cleveland Plain Dealer) It would be difficult tc exaggerate the volume of human misery which is pouring cver the southern frontier of France as a result of the collapse of the Spanish Loyalists in Catalonia. One reads of four- had gone to seek food that she could not find. One reads of a young mother struggling with a baby in her arms over the steep mountain passes, deaf to her companions who tell her the child is dead Such is the fruit of Spain’s tragedy. It would take the art of a Goya, who 150 years ago etched the bitter- ness of other wars in Spain, adequately to depict it And since Goya’s day new perfections of horror have been added to the repertory of Mars. Then, at least, death did not come from the air. Rarely in history has there been a retreat of the magnitude-of this surge of defeated, hungry and dis- couraged Spaniards. Some of its horror may have been equaled in the savage expulsion of the Greeks from Anatolia by the Turks in 1922. In 1914 and 1915 Belgian refugees, military and civilian, poured in dis- consolate streams into northeastern France. But the Spanish retreat probably surpasses th in numbers and, perhaps, in individual and mass suffering. It is winter and there is cold as well as famine and despair, For France the situation is almost as difficult as it is for the Spanish refugees. Here are scores of thousands, poverty stricken uprooted civilians, and a vast army loosened from the restraints of discipline. All of these must be fed, housed after a tashion and controlled. It is a thankless task. Some parts of it may be permanent, for those refugees who fear re- prisals can hardly be induced to go back to Spain. Such are the bitter fruits of war. It is against the law in Nebraska to give a friend a cigarette. Nothing has been done, however, about the pest who forgets his own pack and is always bum- ming one, and then asks for a match and puts the box in his pocket If the Germans are so short of labor that they find it necessary to order German citizens working in Denmark, Holland and France to come home, why do they need colonies to which to send their “surplus population”? The wife of a Hollywood movie actor wants a divorce, alleging that her husband thought their guests boresome. Perhaps they were always wanting to play contract when he would rather read or listen to the radio.
