NOW IT'S FROGS—WHAT NEXT? \ Mark Twain’s famous Jumping Frog of Calaveras | appears to have sired a mighty race of traveling frogs in the United States, for it now seems that frogs from the swamps of Louisiana have traveled all the way to| Japan, and have come back to the land of their origin, ‘ frozen solid. The way it all happened was this: about six |1 ago a Japanese imported some young bullfrogs from | Lousiana to Japan. The bullfrogs thrived mightily.| The damp climate of Japan reed with them. The}| foods that they got made them grow big and| t bigger it is said than their forebears back | ou State. | Bullfrog ranching came int g on quite a| scale in Japan, and last year experiments were con-| iy ducted by the Pacific Trading Company, San Fran- eisco, on the import of frozen bu gs into the United States. About 2,000 pounds were imported by this| company last year The frogs are skinned, dressed, and quick frozen. Each frog, weighing about one pound, is wrapped in paper, and packed in small paper cartons to carton. The cartons are later packed in fibre shipping cases for export to the United States The said that t ' i ' " H years special strong, a | in the Ba parchment-type three a are cultivated in hatcheries, and it is| fles much more tender and their bones softer than wild frogs, due to the good feed and they get in the hatche The frogs sered and frozen when they are about three! half frog eir h is attentior ATS | \dlmni l' AWNS in Dealer) the “Dragon of Albania” lers from 1443 to 1467 resistance of these y army of 12,000 men i better-equipped troops demonstration of courage who he it still fires his de ants.

Italy will boast of this victory over a weak neigh- bor. Dictators are so in need of triumphs that the battle for Albania will be enshrined by the Fascists along with Ethiopia and Spain. That Albania suc- cessfully resisted the invasion for a time at several oints should shame the dictators, were they capable uch emotion. Scanderbeg evenly matched the Turks. That his descendants still fought reat odds is a pledge that not all men will ign themselves to the fate planned for them by the tators Ibania is a pawn in the larger game of power- 1 The specious excuses for the invasion ad- nced by the Italians cloak their real aim. Italy mented press says that the invasion was necessar wise King Zog was seeking Italian help to invade lavia. This is a laugh, because that is the prin- aim of Italy in taking over the country. We are that payments on Italian loans are overdue, ths alian residents must be protected—a formula learnec om the Na: and that Zog a despot oppressin s people.

Czechosio vakia was ircled and then destroyed. Poland is now encircled and her fate rests on a dubious bilatera treaty with Britain. France, through the Spanish con- quest, is partially encircled and the curtain has no yet risen on the last act of that drama. clement be dictators cry about Interference of the western powers in the Polist affair, a step which puzzled a hitherto unopposed Hit- ler, turned attention once more to the south.

And thus Bel- de will be urged to see the advisability of joining orces with the Rome-Berlin ax abandoning any idea of seeking protection from the west. Mussolini, of course, has' a second aim in this move. He wants his share of the spoils which Ger- many has been collecting with alarming regularity His last chance to maintain a foothold in Europe is along the eastern shore of the Adriatic. Hitl ha not yet given full support to Il Duce’s Mediterranear claims, So while he may menace Yugoslavia in the name of the axis, Mussolini will also be thinking o his own interests. The difficulties in the way of an anti-Hitler bl become more apparent. The Poles do not wish t enter a general alliance that would include Soviet Rus Without it they are still at the mercy of th: azis, for all London’s promises. Warsaw seeks t reach an understanding with the smaller ecasterr ates. But the great difficulty here is to reconc.le *! agonisms of the Hungarians and the Rumanian Hungarians, apparently, are bent on restorin their pre-war territories with German aid and Ru mania is one of their chief fields of operation. Henc to expect Budapest and Bukharest to come to term: to stop Hitler is to anticipate too much. If they could not foresee the fate that awaited them and join forces in normal times it is certain they will be kept apart by the machinations of Nazi politics and agents if nothing else, 1t is ironic that the least important nation in the game of power politics becomes the one to offer the atest resistance.

But at now involves a line plunge, with Britain, France, ind the Soviet Union crouching shoulder to shoulder. » country admittedly desperate from lack of money d raw materials, that is not an engaging prospect. That is, unless Poland, the most cautious country in Europe, were willing to part with Danzig and a slice peacefully The alternative—apart from inaction, which is intolerable to Der Fuehrer—would seem to be a run ound the end in the neighborhood of Croatia. This vestern part of Yugoslavia, inhabited by 3,000,000 Croats who have endured Serbian oppression just about as long as they can. Their leader, Dr. Mat- chek, has made it clear he must either get complete autonomy or he will put his people under the “pro- tection” of Germany. Incidentally, there are 500,000 Germans living in Yugoslavia, mostly in Croatia. They are not inactive. That this end run may become Hitler's next move | is suggested by Italy’s current operations. Still run- | ning Herr Hitler's errands for him, the Duce has vici- ously taken over Albania, Thus Fascist armies are at hand on the north and , but | south frontiers of Dr. Matchek's unofficial domain of Croatia, within Yugoslavia. As in the case of Ger- man) seizure of Bohemia less than a month ago, Jroatia is so far removed from any strong anti-Fascist state that its defense becomes impossible save by a general war against the Fascist states. Incorporation of Croatia into the growing Reich would not be the equivalent of a successful coup in Poland, of cou se. That is to say, it would not protect Germany’s 1 while an attack is made in the West —against ance or Holland. But on the general principle that Germany needs the Danube Valley, all of it, Berlin will find many persuasive arguments for taking whatever can be taken without a war. The end r may not gain as much ground, but it will be most confusing to Quarterback Chamberlain and his team. And it seems already to provide a means of paying off Mussolini, Hitler's best open- field runner, with outright conquest of Albania and oerhaps a fragment of the Dalmatian coast. Concentration Camps Here? (Philadelphia Record) Representative Sam Hobbs, of Alabama, with a jleam in eye, has introduced a bill providing for he establishment of ¢ entration camps for deport- able aliens whose home countries refuse to recognize them eor to grant passports to them. Unless this practical joke (and it | seem to be. since the House Judiciary Committee has ipproved the measure) we think it ought to be quashed by a tide of public revulsion. The concentration camp has yet to make its first ppearance on American soil in peace time. Of all rossible times for the United States to join in the merry European game of putting “undesirable” adults stocl like animals, this is about the worst. rely our democracy is smart enough and vigorous ugh to think up a better solution than that. since the bill specifically refers to aliens who are able by reason of their political beliefs, as well se who are criminals, these concentration camps is a mdes as the | would be political concentration camps in the best an mode.
