MIRROR OF WORLD OPINION
ISLANDS FOR WAR DEBTS?
Opinions voiced in the Gallup poll on the acceptance of West Indian islands as payment for old war debts, owed the United States by England and France, are based upon the pro- posal that we negotiate for such a set- tlement-not upon the silly suggestion that we seize the islands by force....

A
WAY*
TO END WARFARE
and
which nationalities
If Europe truly seeks a way to end the violent gusts of warfare that have swept over her peoples for more than 2,000 years, she can find in the United France could no more legally barter States a practical, working_plan-not
visionary scheme — under away Guadeloupe or Martinique than a she could sell us Paris. Even if she many States and many could, we have in our own national compose one united Nation.-"Comp- consciousness some loyalty to the ideal ton (Calif.) Herald.” of the self-determination of peoples. And if the basic laws of the countries whose flags these islands now fly per- mitted them to "sell" their citizens, and if our national conscience permit- ted us to "foreclose," there would still remain to be considered the effect on our going "good neighbour" policy of such an imperial act.
While some "settlement” of the debts will probably come ultimately, we have vastly more important matters that need to be commanding our at- tention."Des Moines Register."

NOW IT CAN BE TOLD
Italy's Foreign Minister, Count Ciano, may have provided a surprise for many of the world's newsreaders when in his speech on Italian foreign policy he disclosed that the German- Italian military alliance of last May contained an agreement exempting Italy from partnership in actual war for a period of three years.
In Rome and Berlin, care had been taken to conceal this aspect of the German-Italian alliance from the rest of the world because, as now is clear, the alliance was intended as another chapter in that long story of bluff in which Germany and Italy had piled If anybody wants to measure the diplomatic victory upon diplomatic effects of the rise and influence of the victory. But as Count Clano now puts totalitarian philosophies of the State It, "The Reich agreed with us not to would be on the brutalisation of life, he has only raise any questions that

ALLIED WAR AIMS
It is to our interest-whether rich or poor, Conservative, 80- clalist or Liberal-that democracy should be vindicated and Hitler- iam defeated in this war. But it is also right. it was said long ago that Britain's greatest interest is peace. But that does not make it an ignoble aim. It is a purpose which may properly enlist the deepest moral forces of the coun try when we seek to establish and maintain, the principles of Ilberty.....
There remains the pro- blem, not merely of making sur war alma known to the German people, but: of convincing. them that we are,sincere whan we say. that our purpose is not to blat out Germany, but to establish · at peace of justice. —— Bir... Waltar Layton.
