What a pity and catastrophe It- was that Christopher Coluinbua was Ignored by Bug land when be applied for help and covperatlou In bis schoine to plough the oceans in search of now land*. He was also snubbed by his native country, and dually received uhl from Hpain, then ruled by Ferdinand and Isabella. The result was that t he barbarous minions of Hpuiu were sent lnt'i South Aineiha, after Columbus opened the way, to dig for gold and to convert tin* heathen, but mainly for gold. It makes tho blood run cold yet to read of the methods, dla bolicai and damnable, by which South America w?s brought under the brutal heel and bloody sword of those i Spaniards. The extermination of tho Indians in North America by the Kingllsh was bad enough. God knows, , hut It. wiui humane, compared to tho ( work of the Spaniards in South Amor- I lea. What a blessing It might and would have been for that unfortunate country, had the Kngllsh not turned a cold shoulder to Columbus. It ; changed the course of history In { South America.

FOUR FACT8 This newspaper has no desire to hecome nn alarmist In International affairs or to play the ganto of the munitions barons by working up war scares. However, it seems to us that there are certain facta in the world situation that might as well be faced now as any other time. First among them Is the evidense of three great powers, ready to use their military and naval power to advance what t (my ( oneoive is their own national Interests. Second, the possibility that these nations, imbued with militaristic favor and stimulated by patriotic passions;. might attempt, individually or collectively, to take advantage of weakness wherever it exists. Third, that the United States, standing alone, would have its hands full to prevent these three powers from partitioning South American lands if they determined to make the effort after preparing military and naval strength to undertake the job. Fourth, that the three powers in question are Germany, Italy and Japan?Orangeburg Times-Democrat HAVE YOU ENROLLED?
