In any case nobody but a madman would l[iave tried a war of nerves-with the B ritish'. For lack of nerves is a t bhee heir strength and their weakness. Their refusal to be upset hv anything has in the past get them in to ^ lk in d s of trouble which might have been avoided, but it has also carried th?m safely through , suoh catastwiphes as .would have, wrecked a more nervy people. . , : So there is deep gloom in Berlin, fear in Rome, and, if we read the riddle aright, th ^ ;beginnings, pf uheasine^s in Mos­ cow Japan has been deserted by her partners' because she has lost the day in China, and now. is casting round for a " friend.., .". . • * ■ ■ ' i ■ Stalin probably entered into the pact with Hitler think­ ing to temporarily make his . western border safe while he made a quick end of .Japan. That accomplished, he oq̂ ldv* throw all his armed power., against Hitler, should the latter ' again thieaten him on the west afte r the absorption of Poland. He also relied on a bloodless victory for H itler in the Dapzig. matter, and the stand of the^democracies has entirely upset his calculations. Hence the delay in the consummation of the pernicious pact. The two great double-crossing nations are together, but they will not' Stay together one moment longer than serves the self interest of either. Moreover, there is more than a likelihood th a t iStalin and H itler have cast their bread on the waters in becoming"pp*tners, because their pact contains certain boomerang qualities which may w dl bring both dictators to personal shipwreck. W hat, .for instance, must the Nazis in , Germany and the Bolsheviks of Russia think at suddenly* finding themselves in the same bed, when they have had time to mull over the^m atter? Each dictator has enough enemies among-his own people w ithout ostracising his followers. ,̂, ■ ' ■ , . . ; At the sahie time it would 1^. foolish for us to rely on Russia's leaving Gerihahy- itt^the' 1 Indications*^; now point in that direction. Bdt, if Stalin should desert H it­ ler,-it is quite certain that'M ussolini will follow suit, in fact it is possible he may do so regardless of what action the Rus- sian dictator may take.. ■ ____ ' __ ̂ _______ ■ "'r y vi-v, / The F irst School in West "Vancouver 'jfAj'i.Vij.'-"' MRS.
