Explosives Lying About

Explosives Lying About.

When before has the world experienced so many national and international disturbances as crowd the young path of the year 1933? The crash of aircraft and banks in the United States blends with the roar of the Hitler campaign in Germany, and together they almost put the Japan-China undeclared war into a back seat. While the Jews indict German justice, Britain challenges the justice of the Soviet, as displayed in one of the most extraordinary espionage-sabotage trials ever staged. The character of the Moscow trial compares sharply with that of Lieutenant N. Baillie Stewart (Seaforth Highlanders) who has just been sentenced to five years penal servitude, and cashiered, for communicating to Germans information that might be useful to an enemy. Russia has not only talked to the British Ambassador in such a way as to send him home, but has also a dispute with Manchukuo concerning railway rolling stock. In short, dynamite lies about everywhere. As a preventive measure, Europe is considering a Four Powers Pact.
