Four Republican governments now have bowed to the dictators In a per-1 iod of twelve months. Austria bowed first, then Czechoslovakia. The government of China was driven from pillar to post by tho Japanese. Republican Spain today finds Its government driven from Barcelona and a Fascist victory Imminent. Let us hero note, though, thp.1 socalled Republican Spain is not our kind of a Republic nor does democracy there measure lip to the standard set by American citizens. It is openly charged upon the good grounds that the Communists actually control the government and that, should the loyalist cause prevail, it would ineun the establishment of another communistic state like Russia. While hating fascism, many thinking Americans prefer that form of "ism" to Communism with its avowed purpose to destroy the influences of tho Bible ant! the belief In the existence of a Supreme Being The American Department of State little conceals its apprehension over the primped that the ideas that have "been sweeping Europe and Asia will penetrate to Ix-itin America. This apprehension is increased with conditions in Spain, mother country to most uf Latin America. Already the Fascist nations are offering a market fur raw materials of Latin American nations that the I'nited States?poss< ssod of an over-abundance Itself? cannot buy. Experiences of the last war convinced the American people that this nation could better serif its own citizen and the general welfare of the world l?> staling dear of European entanglements and future European "'1ft w .t rs So the Attii rii ,t:i neutrality act < ari.e into being This act bars trade , i munitions of war in tie* vent of ,ir and 1 mi-- with the President of : ie Lntted States discretion in nam ing other wtr materials that may bo embargoed except to nations paying cash and providing their own transportation. When Italy "took" Ethiopia, the United States invoked the neutrality ( act, barring munitions sales to Italy, as well as to Ethiopia. By the time aggressor nations were , ready to aid civil war in Spain the | United States was heavily sold on j neutrality and congress' overwhelming vote barred trade in munitions j both with the Insurgents and the Republican government.

Since Japan controls ' j the seas and the avenues of trade in i China, she freely purchased the es- I sentlai materials needed by her. I I Today tho United States government t , is uncertain about what to do with ' its neutrality law. The State Depart' nient seems now to favor a policy of : designating aggressor nations and 1 in-j j ing up on the other side. Such a ' 1 policy means war and wo should know It. Another World war can only re! suit 111 the establishment of more to- < ! talitarian States and fewer Democrac- ' ies.
