Then lK*gHM a, struggle for control of the government, between the Communists ami the advocates of a less radical concept of democracy, i The Communists got control of the government, and the anti-com munists started a rehelliou. They got syiirpat hy'ami material aid from other nations which wanteil, at any price, to keep Commuism out of Western Eu rope. The Fascist government of Italy and the Hitler government of Germany,' which is about the same sort of thing as Fascism, have lent soldiers and eipiipment to the revo lutionists, while Communist Russia is giving similar aid to the Loyalists. Each side claims to he fighting for democracy and the rights of man. I cannot see howt any American can reconcile the claims of either t() dem- (K’racy as we understand it, yet many eager, adventurous young Americans are fighting on the ('ommunist side, and many have been killed. (HINA — Outside Aid .lapah’s excuse for occupying China is the danger of the spread of ('om- niunism from Russia ,Jnto China. Back of that, however, is Japan's de sire to find room for its surplus pojui- lation, and its need of the resources of Chinese territory. This war, too, has been breeiliug for yi'ars. It is giving the rest of the world even more concern than the affair in Spain.

Some European nations ami our own country have been help ing China reorganize her finances and obtain foreign credits. Their fear is that Russia may take a hand against Japan, which would give Germany a chance to attack Russia from the other side, and that would start an other Euixipean war. Germany wants to crush Commun ism, but she wants jmore to obtain land and resources for her excess population, and Russia has those. chnfined in an institution for the mentally ill for seven years of your life.

AMERICA — Protector ■\Ve. are prol)»hly physically safe from the present wars or any other which might develop from them. No enemy is likely to try to invade the United States. But we are under a pledge, first expressed in the Monroe Doctrine, and reaffirmed as lately as 1936, to protect the nations ofUSouth America against conquest by a for eign power. It has been proposed in Washing .8ixty ihou'^and pHtieiits a year, most of them facing (heir last chance against death, make pilgrimages to the Mayo clinic as to a Holy Shrine. Yet, to repeat—if a tornado hadn’t twisted and roareil through the mid dle west fifty-two yi*ars ago, the world would probably never have heard of the Mayo Brothers of Roch ester Minnesota, or .this cure for insanity. When Docthr Mayo—the father of the Mayo Brothers — settled there seventy years ago, Rochester had only two thousand people. His first two patients were a sick cow and a sick hor.se. When the Indian wars broke out, Doctor Mayo grabbed his musket and made the Redskins bite the dust. When the smoke of battle, cleared away, he picked his way over the battle ground laying out the dead and treating the w'ounded. His regu lar patient4 were scattered for fifty miles over the prairies of Minnesota. Many of them lived in hoiwes made of prairie *soil. They couldn’t af- ton that we lend A few naval vessels) pay a physician, hut good old to Brazil, Brazil wants them to train seamen for its new navy, which is being built in American shipyards; for Brazil is afraid of Germany.

It would serv’e Ger many’s need for expansion better than did the African colonies she 'lost in the World War. It would be no trick at all for Germany to take Brazil, if ... . SECURITY — British Empire What I have been trying to sug gest is that no nation is justified in ft*eling itself .secure against war, in , the present stage of civilization. We have not succeeded very well in bringing up our boys to abhor war. Doctor Mayo sometimes traveled all night to allay their aches and pains. Sometimes he fought his way through snow storms and blizzards so blind- inig that he couldn’t see his hand before him in broad daylight. He had two sons, William and Charles, now famous throughout the world as the Mayo Brothers. They worked in a local drugstore, learned to fill prescriptions and pound up pills, went to medical col lege—and then a tragedy occurred, a tragedy destined to affect the his tory of medicine. ■The tragedy was this: a cyclone, .a tornado, swept over the prairies of Minnesota like an angry god. It blasted. It dernolished, it smashed to .'Smithereens everything in the path' of, its fury. It struck Rochester and gain move territory, Russia seeking Thousands h^ye gone to, Spain toito impose its Communist philosophy' fight for an idea which appeals to on the rest of the world and a dozen them, or for the excitement of fight ing. I hear of hundreds of American boys going to China to get in on the war against Japan. The League of Nations has proved ineffective in averting war.
