WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
When an inventory of the
circumstances that attended
former wars is taken, it looks
as though the present were
set for a scrimmage, the only
question being who is to do
the fighting. There is no doubt
about the intention of Italy
to see matters through to a
conclusion favorable to her
self, if that is possible. With
invasion imminent Ethiopia
of course not giving much
heed to the Scriptural com
mand about beating plow
shares into swords. The na
tions mentioned may be re
garded as definitely at odds,
and the world awaits the bar
ber shop summons “Next”.
Owing to the disparity of the
contestants, sympathy for Eth
iopia exists, and it was sym
pathy for Cuba that assembl
ed the dynamite for the Span
ish-American War. All that
was needed was the appliea
non oi me match, and the
blowing up of the Maine an
swered that purpose. The pro
tection of the interests of out
siders already has been in
jected into the situation. One
nation looks with suspicion
at another, when acquisition
of territory is contemplated,
and in that connection it may
be observed that neither En
gland nor France would care
to see an Italian Africa. Thru
out an area stretching entire
ly around the globe, there is
an ample supply of work for
statesmen and diplomats who
have no desire to see their
several fatherlands involved
in war.
What purports to be the
diary of Christopher Colum
bus has been found in Europe.
It should prove to be an in
teresting document, if gen
uine. The opening words of
the manuscript cast doubt up
on its authenticity: “Written
by me, Christopher Columbus
August 3, 1492, for Diego my
son.” It seems as though a
great deal of information and
convincing testimony had
been packed into a single
sentence. There is such a
thing as doing too good a job.
A Wall Street proceeding
relating to the control of rail
road property worth three bil
lion dollars reminds one that
the railroads are still with
us and something to be fought
over. Autos, trucks and air
planes have made havoc with
steam railways, just as the
railway worked the undoing (

Undated, Nov. 14. —Pope
Pius was reported today, to

Italian troops routed guer
