In such a dizzy fashion that about the only "way to find out where we arc Tnow Is to stop deliberately and "look back at some fixed point. Let's take the latter part of j March three years ago. General -war had not yet come to Europe, 2 though It had swept China, Ethlo Ipia and Spain. Europe was Just shaking Itself free of the shock Zot the annexation of Austria by "Hitler's Germany. But many, 2 many people did not realize that -general war was inevitable. I Many still hoped for restraint in Zone who had shown no restraint. m . Z England, under Chamberlain, began to step up preparedness -lagalnst Labor opposition). Ichamberlaln Insisted that it was -wrong to say that Chancellor Ischuschnlgg ot Austria hud been "intimidated by force Into resign "lug, and that It was really none' "of England's business If he had. ; In France, Premier Chautemps I had Just resigned, denied special J powers for defense by opposition -of the socialist and communist 1 deputies. France specifically -stated that It would back up Z Czechoslovakia If It were attack ed. Leon Blum succeeded to the -premiership, and was greeted 3 with a wave of strikes when he -tried to modify the 40-hour week "in the interest of better defense. 2 Germany, having mopped up 1 the matter ot Austria, had nl- 2 ready begun to turn toward "re- - solution of the Czechoslovakian "problem." Italy, no doubt in--wardly disturbed at the sudden appearance of German troops on "her borders, did nothing. "We arc not easily worried," suld Mus sollnl. - Few listened to Schuschnigg's 2 last despairing cry from sub--merged Austria: "I state before -the world, we bend to violence. Z We have ordered our army to -withdraw . . . God save Austria." : ... " The England that was so com a placenl three years ago now stands, back to wall, fighting for her life. The France that was Z so sure it would support Czecho- - Slovakia, lies with it In a twin 2 grave. The Germany which had " no purpose beyond "freeing" Gorman minorities In other - lands, now holds most of Europe, - Including lands without Gel " mans. The Mussolini who was " not easily worried, is worried m ROW. Seeing what we have seen in these last three years. It seems impossible that Euroie should have stood so Inert and fascinul ' fd while Its tale was being pre- - pared. Hut it did. Z It is easy to be wise uller the event. But even that is useless unless the wisdom gained pre " pares one for the next event to come. Approximately 130,000 Euro- peun refugees arc now in the United States, according to the .. national refugee service, and half of them are concentrated In New York and u few other large Z, cities. - That's one refugee' tor every m thousand Americans, which " wouldn't seem to be any very menacing ' proportion. E x p e r 2 icnec hero would seem to tally with tlutt of Mexico,, where Eu- rupean rcfiigecB cling to the big Oineea cities. That's - unfortunate, , be cause they would probably learn American ways and establish themselves far more quickly in small towns. But most of them, being involuntary and not volun tary immigrants, still hope to get back to Europe some day. Those who really want to stay in America after the war, having established themselves, will stay; many will return. But in the meantime, until the United States has provided refuge for 10 times as many homeless peo ple as have now found It here, there wouldn't seem to be any reason to worry about American life being engulfed by a foreign tide. Typical of a line of reasoning that is all too prevalent In the world today is this, from Japan ese Rear Admiral Gumpct Se kinc, a naval critic. He was dis cussing the political fate of all the Asiatic lands lying to the jouth and west of the Japanese islands. Japan has no territorial ambi tions, Admiral Seklnc asserts, "but the crux of the matter lies in the question: If Britain Is de feated under whose control would' the southerners fall?" The simplest answer never seems to occur to anyone today. It Is: Why anybody's control? Why not lot them control them selves? Editorials on News (Continued from paga 1.) London says today: "We must be prepared to face losses until the battle of the At lantic is won. The enemy is bringing into play his maximum forces under, on and over the water." TOKYO announces today that Pni-nlvn Mlntvfnt Mutttlirilc;, en route to Berlin and Rome, will stop for Important "conver sations" in Moscow, both going and coming. Japan is trying to make a deal to protect her back door before going all out through the front door. pVEIt since the war began the hot spot of Europe has been shifting around. Today Yugo slavia is sitting on It. Look at the map and you will see that Yugoslavia Is surround ed on three sides by stooges. Only by a narrow strip of Greek .border or by the dangerous driatlo, sea, through the narrow 'slmlt of Otranto, could British aid reach her. If she refuses to go with the axis her fate will probably be swift und terrible. Give the Yugoslavs credit for great courage In even hesitating In the fare of such a situation.

(AP) The price of virtually every com modity advanced today. Most qdotations moved to the highest since mid-1910. Some soared to the best levels in IS months to 4 years. The rush to accumulate food stuffs and industrial raw mater ials started with congressional approval of the lease-lend bill. Prospects that food and mater ial shipments to Britain might remove some of the surpluses now hanging over the market sent sharply higher a price curve which started to move gently forward last fall. Ever-present fears that ship ping shortages might curtail the normal flow of sea-borne freight to the United States aroused buyers. Cotton, which Jumped $1 a bale yesterday, gained as much as another 50 cents by midday. Rubber added 110 to 210 of a cent a pound after lagging be hind Tuesday's climb. Sugar rose to an ohtslde of .01 ot a cent a pound as soot raw and refined sugars sold in heavy volume at the best prices since late 1939. Cocoa moved up more than 1-20 cent. Spot delivery cocoa was priced at the highest In four years. , Advances in cottonseed oil re flected strong upward tendencies in other edible oils and fats. Coffee Jumped around 110 to I cent a pound. Silk advanced 21 to 41 cents a pound. At Chicago wheat sold at the best levels since last December on gains of as much as 11 cents a bushel. Fresh gains in lard and sov beans accented the bull ish tinge to wheat pit operations. 12:25- Rhythm at Random. 12:35 Parkinson's Information Exchange. 12:40 Five Miniature Melody Time, Golden Wet Coffee. 12:45 Newi, Hansen Motor Co. 12:50 Newa Revlew of the Air. 1:00 Hennlnger's Man on the Street. l:15-Interlude. 1:30 Tho Johnson Family, Swantdown Flour, MBS, 1:45 -The Bookworm, MBS. 2:(X) - At Your Command. 2:15 As the Twig Is Bent, Post's Bran Flakes. 2:30 -At Your Command. 2:45- Let's Play Bridge, MBS. 3:00 A.

Next day, Andre goes to the Bailey ranch, finds rebuilding al ready underway. He offers :to help with furnishings, takes Ron nie to a trading post. He is particularly interested In a large drum, buys it for a friend In Mexico. . RONNIE IS IN DANGER .. CHAPTER XXVIII 1 That Lona Montoya should de liberately kiss him was both shocking and confusing to Wes ley York. In all honesty he had to admit to himself that the kiss was not unpleasant, but that had been squelched In a little flash of shame. He had turned nerv ously formal again and escorted her back to town. Ho had fell a strong urge to see Ronnie Bailey again.-' ' But not until next morning, Saturday, could he "go back ito the Rocking R ranch. He had no classes this day, so at 9 o'clock he bought three thick T-bone steaks and drove straight from the butcher shop to the ranch homesite. Workmen were busy clearing out burned debris of the house, and Mr. Bailey, supervis ing them, came forward to greet Wcs. "Good morning, son Gladto see you. Want you to look over plans for the new house right away. "Glad to, Mr. Bailey. And say I brought out some meat.

We could do it in the outdoors here wonderful weath er right now, isn't it?" "Perfect! Perfect all around. Only Ronnie- isn't home. But don't let that interfere, son. I can cat twice as much as you think anyway. You'd never know I came west with indigestion." Wes felt let down. He bad ex pectedhoped to find Ronnie here. But he knew from experi ence that she seldom "staye'd out." She was on the go some where, ever and always. "I'll get Fabian to keep tho stakes on ice until noon," Wcs said, trudging off. For an hour after that he and Mr. Bailey sat at an outdoor I table and checked measurements land details on plans for thd new I ranch house. No architect had been hired, because Mr- Bailey said he could do his own design ing with friends' help, but he had contracted w-ith a ' local builder who was already on the Job. Wes pointed out myriad details he had forgotten a place for gun racks, he could use ranch branding irons for an attractive dining room chandelier, he could make a floor of cement and flag stones that would be both fire- I proof and patterned better than J any rug he might buy, he could I make a hat rack of deer and elk horns.

"The university would fire me, sir. But I intend to huild a western home of my own some day so I've given- it some thought. And I'm glad to help you. A fire is a tragedy." Mr. Bailey was suddenly ser ious, intent. He jabbed a pencil at Wcs. "Son," he said, in low tone now, "that fire was no accident, either!" Wesley looked closely at him. "No, Wesley, I don't know who did It but whoever did had it well planned and well timed. They used that as a cover to steal the new bomb sight from one of the army planes!" "No!" "Yes, Wesley! The fire drew every army man over here, nat urally. Some thief went right In. cut the sight off and took it away. The only hour those ships haven't been guarded since the new sight was put into'them. The sight was welded and bradded down, too, of course, but that dldnt' stop the thief." "And you think?" "No. not a clew. Of course strictly on the quiet, now the federal agencies are onto it. But we haven't learned a single thing!" Wesley was astounded. He stared off into space, frown ing, hardly hearing his host give the other details, lie was deep in his own thoughts. Here, shockingly, was yet an other mysterious occurrence to add to the long list of unexplain ed incidents which crowded Wes ley's mind of late, this the most important of all. Ronica knew some of those things with him, but he alone knew them all. He svlshod earnestly for Konica now so that he might talk with her. Possibly together they could evolve something. He looked at his watch. Almost noon. "Mr. Bailey, if I'm not being too inquisitive, could you tell me when I might see Ronnie? Where Is she likely to be this aft ernoon?" "Why son, she's headed for Mexico," I believe. Flying her plane down. Said they'd have lunch at the dude ranch where Andre is slaying and take off from there about 1 p. m." "Andre? . . . Andre?" Wes ex claimed the name twice. "Why yes. You know him, Wesley. Andre Girardeau. Fine young man. He has business con nections down in Guaymas on the .west coast of Sonora. anil Guaymas is also a resort town, as you may know. He and Ron nie and some other girl named let me see Lona? Is there a Lonn somebody In the college here?" "Lona Montoya!" Wes lookci! straight at his host. "Was she. -she going too? Flying with Gir ardemi and Ronica? Into- Mex ico?" "Why yes.

There is no explaining the impulsive actions of youth, reflected Mr,-, Bailey; especially of youth vyhehgonnie was involved.

He braked to a sgdden stop it his home and ran to the tele phone. Then he stopped short. He couldn't remember the name of the ranch where Girardeau stayed, if ever he knew it. He tried ' to telephone Lona Montoya, but she was out. Back to his car, he drove fast then to the office of the United States border patrol in this area, and luckily did find Inspector Sheridan Starr there. "Howdy. Dr. York," the officer greeted. "You look excited." "Listen, Mr. Starr it's nearly one o'clock now. Can we is is the patrol autogiro plane around? Near here? Is? "It's out 10 miles or so, out near The Tanks where we keep field stables also. You know the place. There's a pilot there, and -" "Then for God's sake, Mr. Starr, let's hurry!
