"Do It At Home" "When the time comes for the rising generation to deal with naziism, fascism, communism, that devil's brew which has been tendered to the clean-minded, patriotic, American boys, they will deal with it upon American 6oil and not in foreign lands where they would be sold out within a fortnight after they might have finished their jobs as they were at Versailles." Borah counseled youth to "In vestigate for yourselves as to the real issues which threatens to in volve Us in another European war." "A thorough investigation will disclose to you that a more sor did, imperialistic war could hard ly be imagined than this war should it unfortunately come," he said. "Reflect for a moment, how much better the condition of the world today would be had the spoils of the victors nsvsr been incorporated In the Versailles treaty and all had followed the far-seeing statesmanship of the then president of the United States. Canada Quoted "The courageous prime minis ter of Canada, MacKenzie King, said a few days ago: 'The Idea that every 20 years this country, which has done all it can to run itself, should feel called upon to save periodically a continent which cannot run Itsel' seems to me a nightmare and sheer mad ness.' Again he said: 'fn a war to save the liberty of others and thus our own, we should not sac ritlce our own liberty or our own unity.' " Youth should be concerned in the crisis, he continued, because It would be called upon to fill the armies. "If they should cross the seas gain to take part in a European war," Borah said, "those who are now seeking in every way to bring on a situation which means war would not b with them When It comes to taking up the real burdens of war, those who agitate war are never there." dental and surgical attention.

In event of a general outbreak of fighting, there would be prospects of military action along the tradi tionally "untouchable frontiers" of small nations from the North sea to the Red sea, the experts agree. In Miniature The other common frontier be tween French and Italian Inter ests the 100-mile long frontier across the sandy desert between Tunisia and Libya, French engi neers have built the Mareth line as a miniature reproduction of the Maginot line. Hence experts doubt that there will be any attempt by the major powers to strike direct blows. That explains the anxiety among the three smaller powers which have the geographic misfortune of being natural corridors used for centur ies by invaders Switzerland, Hol land and Belgium. Prance Worried The wide open Pyrenees Spanish frontier haa suddenly become a serious menace to French security. It becomes increasingly evident that General Francisco Franco will be closely allied morally If not militarily with the two dictators who helped him win the civil war. If war comes, Italy will find her naval outlets plugged at Suez, Gi braltar and perhaps out of the Adriatic. The British will be at Malta and Corfu and the French at Modane and Vintmille in the Alps, as well. It is no state secret that the famous "Gamelin plan" exists and has existed since the Munich crisis last September, for the French penetration of Italy. Under it, the j French would use the Piedmont and Lombardy plains to strike down the Po valley to reach Ger many through the Brenner pass in to Austria. Italy On List Under that plan, Italy is to be knocked out as rapidly as possible. The ultimate aim is to beat her into submission on land and by air while the French fleet, backed by the British Mediterranean fleet tries to sink the Italian fleet. The strategy on the German Italian side probably would be to put the "Gamelin plan" into re verse. With her present North sea fleet, according to naval expert, Britain would be able to hold the entire German fleet at bay without weakening her strength in the Mediterranean or risking security of her Atlantic traffic lanes. Page Blockade One of the British-French moves in event of war would be to clamp a hlockade against Ger many and Italy. April is J THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON Williams' Stores, Inc.
