WASHINGTON, June 11. The war

Mussolini Is fir

The Japanese are
going him one
better In Tokio,
leveling a diplo
matic barrage
over the heads of
the entire world.
But, If you will
notice, their
troops are mov
ing In a direction
opposite to their
word s. Musso
lini's are getting
PA I I MALLON
ready to grab the rest of Ethopta: the
Japanese are moving to demoralize a
growing resistance to their domination
In China.
The guiding spirits of American di
plomacy are silent but unexcited.
They have catalogued both steps def
initely In their own minds as further
"bulldozing diplomacy."
Herr Hitler Is making similar bull
dozing threat against Russia. His
purpoea la precisely the same as that
of the Italians and Japanese. He
wants to frighten the world into si
lence while he prepares the way for
colonial expansion eastward. Al
though you hear little about It In
this country now, you will later. The
reds have become so excited they can
almost. hear the Naai legions goose
stepping eastward to the strnlns ot
the "Horst Wessel," which sounds as
If It might be a horse whistle, but
Isn't.
Even diplomats have to smile when
they think of the latest Hitler moves.
He turned a honeymoon into a diplo
Tnatlc"threat. The honeymoon was
not his, but that of his first lieuten
ant. General Ooeilng.
The general was sent off to lead
his bride In the same direction which
may some day be taken by the great
German air force which he built up.
The honeymoon party Included two
secretaries of aviation, and confiden
tial officials from several minttries,
as well as Prince Philip of Hesse, a
brother-in-law of the king of Bulga
ria. Incidentally, the bride also went
along. The honeymoon party visited
all the countries which Germany la
trying to win over.
It is not the first time that Mars
has been disguised as Cupid.
No authority here doubts that all
these steps are more or less Impor
tant Incidents leading up to war.
Nlether la there any doubt that a
major war will be avoided for the
present.
Japan will extend her emprie
through China by degrees. The So
viet will not fight; both Britain and
the U. S. are too busy.
Mussolini will crush Ethiopia and
extend his imperial colonization there.
Britain will not like It because It
places him more threateningly on
the trade route to India, but will not
cause a war.
Hitler will absorb and colonize the
states to the east toward Russia. The
reda will view with alarm, but keep
their swords in their scabbards.

about Mr. Hoover being the power
behind the "grass roots" convention:
