question in Europe of ideology,

consideration now," he said.
"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

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

true conditions you would remedy

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.
