I wonder if our fear of harmless things is indicative of mal-adjustment to environment, failure to react with the assurance given by knowledge and an inclination to remain under the dominance of very old and very foolish superstitions.

Britain had been “humiliated” by an incident at sea. Mussolini was shouting defiance and threatening to send whole new armies into the Iberian battle. All sides were girding for the plunge. Then suddenly everyone. relaxed. What had happened? Mussolini had abruptly changed his tune. He had agreed to “‘discuss’’ with the international nonintervention committee, the recall of all Italian volunteers from Spain. He had merely said “'yes”’ to their request to talk things over. And for the first time since the-start of Spain's civil conflict, a chance is seen really to isolate this war-threat breeder that has kept Europe half hysterical for months. In a world of democracies this could not happen. Democratic governments cannot act ona whim. They are respon‘sible to their people, and public opinion gathers force more slowly, more deliberately. In a world of democracies, peace could not hang by such a slender thread. But now that the immediate crisis in Europe is relieved. news from across the water will be of a more hopeful tone. It will be, that is, until Mussolini “about faces’’ again, or Hitler rattles a sword, or one of the two stumbles inadvertently and sets off the whole powder keg.-—Contributed. Do We Want Socialism? . And here comes Rexford Guy Tugwell, of all people, with an article in Current History magazine warning American business against one of the trends toward Socialism! Mr. Tugwell, you remember, was considered America’s No. . revolutionist before he stepped out of government to go into private business. Evidently a few months of grappling with practical realities have caused him to come around to a different way of looking at things. In any case, Mr. Tugwell discusses consumer cooperatives, through which people try to save money by retailing goods to themselves, instead of buying at stores. He says we are forcing this form of socialism upon ourselves by legislating the efficiency out of private retailing. “The consumer cooperative movement is growing’, says Mr. Tugwell. “It is being stimulated to a large extent by the very forces that are opposed, to it in principle. If legisiatto the theory of the RobinsonPatman act, the result is apt to be a great growth of consumer cooperatives rather than, as pt i Dirorecraprer 107 Mil) st.
