The most obvious place for Japan to acquire new territory is on the mainland of Asia, and it is there that she is turning.

The Nanking bombing, therefore, was the ruthless slaughter of civlians of a country against which no declaration of war has been made. It is action of this kind that is mobilizing world opinion against Japan, and making even the most ardent- pacifist question the efficiency of pacificism; and it is the development of such a world opinion that is making the threat of war most Last week Mussolini and Hitler met in Germany with great cordiality, both dictators protestetd their complete and. eager desire for peace, i Curiously enough the British Cabinet at the same time wlas promising to- recognize the Italian claim' to Ethiopia if Italy would withdraw her hoops from Spain). On Wednesday, Mussolini returned to Rome, after having been given one of the most impressive farewell's that Gtermany has ever given to a visiting states- In view of the prominence of these two men, a brief account of their early, life may be interesting. Hitler, the leader of Germany, was not born in that country. He was born forty-eight years ago. in a frontier tow-n of Austria. Hs father was a cobbler, and his mother the daughter of a peasant. Adolf Hitler has one ssster Who lives in Vienna and ( ne brother Alois, who has lately set up a restaurant in Berln. It is reported that the busiinesis is thriving. Hitler's youth was dominated by dislike for this father and love of his mother. At the age of seventeen, ante year before his mother's death, he left his home and went to Vienna. He wanted to become an artist, and postcards that he painted are still to be obtained, although with difficulty. His. master, howtever, advised him not to spend time and effort on imaginative, creative art, but rather to take up draughtsmanship. Hitler turned to the latter persuit, for a time and still shows his intrlest in it by the keenly critical spirit with which he views any architectural plans that come into his hands. Hitler became associated with the prototype of the Nazi party in 1919.. He rosle in power and was soon strong enough to change the "German Workers' Party" to the Nazi party. The nam* is derived from the first two words of the official title--National Sozialistiehe Deutsche Arbeiter Parte! Usually we think of socialism as a pale variety of communism, the sworn enemy of facism in Europe today. Yet Hitler has been able to make Germany, controlled by the "National Socialists" one of the two great facists nations of Europe. In 1923 Hitler felt his party strong CJUMMtb t^v chfompt o revolution --in! Munich--^the "Beehall Putsch." This' failed and Hitler was imprisonled. After his release, he set about strengthening his party until, some nine or ten years later, it controlled a majority of the votes in Germany. Then he forged steadily ahead until he made himself dictator of Germany and one of the controllers of the life of Europe. Hitler, is vain, rhetorical, emotional. He lacks friends. He is unmarried. He is.impatient of routine work. But he has the power to sway great crowds in his opinion. Hie has, by justifiable means or not, given back to the German people the pride and spirit that 'they lost in the Great War. And he has an ii unwavering belief in the destiny of the German nation. It is that, that binds the German people to him, making them submit gladly to his dictatorship. (In next week's column, we are planning to give a similar the early career of Mussolini' William W.
