FUTURE — War
Not for many yt*ars ha.s it been
so difficult to peer. into the future
and feel confident about what is ‘ in
store for the general run of the hu
man race. It is easy to say that
.America will not be affected by a
great war in Europe, but that is
not true.
The interests of this country are
tied in
of ■ the world, and any catastrophe
which affects other nations is bound
earth’s surface, among the great na
tions, is under way.
It is entirely conceivable that all
or practically all of Cohtinental Eu
rope will be under the control of some
“totalitarian” form of government, in
which all the people will be subject
to one-man rule.
Perhaps this will come from coali
tion of Germany and Italy. If and
