WASHINGTON, June 3. War men
were less excite about the Russo
German bomb-tossing In Spain than
were the fluttery diplomats. Fight
ing men felt llt
1 1 a prospect of
the situation get
lng out of hand,
for reasons which
sound con vinc
lng. Hitler and Mus
solini, In the first
place, are merely
the barkers In
their respective
circuses. Behind
Paul Million. them, In the in
side tent, are their general staffs.
No military man can belteve the
German and Italian general staffs
would risk a major conflict at this
time, unless they wish to commit
national suicide.
Their known deficiencies have been
widely advertised, but you can gt
a bird's-eye picture of the whole sit
uation by considering one simple
Item. Wars cannot be conducted
without Iron. Ships, airplanes, tanks
and men under arms count much
In the first onrush. But wars are
not won In the first clash, and con
flicts cannot be sustained without
Iron.
Latest available official figures
(1035) show the relative strength of
the nations In Iron production (mil
lions of tons) :
France, 32.
Germany, 12.
Russia, 10.
Britain, 7.
Japan. 2.
Italy, 0.6.
Note Some changes have occurred
since 1035, notably the acceleration
In Britain and Russia, but Italy has
not Improved and the relative stand
ing Is about the same,.
Face. v
No answer that you can find for
either Germany. Italy or Russia being
involved In the Spanish fighting
makes any real sense. The only ex
cuse for their interest In Spain Is
purely political and not economic or
reasonably purposeful.
To understand It fully, you must
recollect that the dictatorships de
veloped because thelf nations were
dissatisfied with the division of the
bones after the 1014 dog-fight. The'r
Idea Is to restore their nations to a
diplomatic and economic position In
the world without fighting. They
thrive on agitation, but not on war
So far. they have done fairly well
on the political side, but very little
on the economic side (except, of
course, witU'n their own borders)
Neither Germany nor Italy has any
assets which would enable it to gain
the approval of the SEC for a bond
Issue. They are merely maintaining
the best face possible to cover their
International poverty, making the
best of their bad situation.
Their cause In Spain Is purely po
litical face-saving and face-main-,
talntng And If they do not Intend
to do It without fighting a general
war, they are a lot crazier than most
authorities here believe.

"I will," the duke, supremely hap

to the Anglican poor man's parson
who gave him the unsanctioned
blessing of the Church of England.
As far as I could see neither the
duke nor anyone else kissed tne
bride.
He raised his voice so high In his
eagerness to take the "woman I love"
as his wife that he startled the 34
guests In the flower-banked music
room of this old chateau.
After him. his blue-eyed lady ans
wered "I will." Her voice was Just
as firm as Edward's, but more hushed.
The religious service ended at ia:l4

The duke gave his bride a beau

By nightfall the two will be on

LONDON. June 3. ( AP) Britain's

London newspapers broke their re

Windsor and gave full attention to
the Chateau de Cande ceremonies
that united him In marriage with
Wallls Warfleld.
Under full length portraits of the
