THE REAL REASON Some time ago some American pa- triot had the courage to intimate that one regson for Uncle Sam’s interven- tion in Nicaragua, in the interest of peace, was that he had some canal rights there which ought to be safe- guarded. Immediately there went up from the European press, and the in- ternationlist clackers in the United States the cry of “dollar diplomacy” and “American imperialism”. We were given to understand by the interna- tionalists and their communist bre- thren, that we had no right what- ever in Nicaragua and no interest in anything excepting to permit the Ni- caraguan brethen to cut one another’s throats and destroy innocent lives and alien property at their pleasure. Well, the other day Great Britian shoke some harsh words to Egypt and intimated that these words would be followed by message from Britian battle-ships and British troops if nec- essary. The world was informed thr- ough the European press that Great Britain had to take action on account of the Suez canal which she must con- trol and protect on account of her great maritime trade and her val- uable possessions in the far east. Sir Austin Chamberlain, British Foreign Minister, in telling Parliament, why it was necessary to speak summarily to Egypt declared that “it was im- possible to escape from a situation in which God has placed us.” There you are. Uncle Sam lands marines in Nicaragua to promote the peace, establish order, insure fair ele- ctions, and incidentally after his canal site and he is assaulted on every side at home and adroad as an inhuman monster which is seeking to devour the Western hemisphere. Britain takes summary action in Egypt and announces she will back up her posi- | tion with the whole British army and navy if necessary. Do we hear any criticism from the same European press and the same American inter nationalists who were denoucing Uncle Sam in Nicaragua? Not a criticism. Of course the reason is now appar- {ent. It is not of course that the Euro- pean press and the European diplo- mats are unduly prejudiced in favor of European interest and avainst American interest not that the Amer- ican internationalists want to make the United States an appendix to Eu ropean policy and European culture The reason and standerds of living. for the criticism on one hand silence in the other case is this: In going into Nicaragua Uncle Sam was ing as a mere human agency, and act- ing like an imperialist. On the other hand John Bull takes action on the Suez Canal because, in the words of Sir Austin Chamberlain, he was plac ed there by God to doit. The Brit- ish trade and the British possessions in the Far East have nothing to do in the case except that Great Britain was entrusted with these matters by a benign Providence. So now we have it. The Europeans are the peo- ple divinely chosen to do these things and Uncle Sam, like the bad little boy in the well-regulated family must keep quiet and let his elders do the talking, and the occupying.

FAR NEW ZEALAND ASKS ABOUT CAMBRIA’S -FAIR says farewell to civilization, this summer on his way to make his ex- ploration of the Antarctic continent and his aerial dash for the South pole, his last stopping place will be South Island, New Zealand, not far from the Antartic circle. From that other end of the earth, 13000 miles as the crow flies from Ebensburg, comes a great appreciation of the Great Mil- lion Dollar Fair, which is held every vear. They have county -fairs down there, but in some way, not yet ex- plained, they bave heard that the Cambria County Fair, as a county fair, is a model of its kind. So a let- ter has just reached Secretary H. F. Dorr of the Cambria County Fair from far off New Zealand asking for some : particulars regarding the fair held here. The writer is W. H. Paul, secretary of the County fair at Hamilton, Wai- kato, in the province of Otago, South Island, New Zealand and he wanted to know all about how the Cambria County Fair is run. It seems that al- though at the other end of the earth, the folks there have much the same occupations, worries and amusements as we have here. Instead of coal they have gold mines, for Otago is one of the richest of the New Zealand fields; instead of cattle they go in largely for sheep and the Port of Dunedin, close to Hamilton, where this fair is held, is one of the greatest wool ex- porting ports in the world. They also have a great trade of lumber but it is kauri pine, something that the folks in this end of the earth have not seen much of. And to show their works and wonders not only in these bran- ches but also as agriculturalists they have a county fair. Secretary Dorr sent them all the photographs of the grounds and buil- lings of the Cambria County Fair that he could gather up and this made quite a bulky roll for the fair here is just picturesque enough to keep photographers busy; also a long and detailed account of the methods employed in handling exhibits. Perhaps no one was more interest- ed in reading this letter than Charles M. Schwab, to whom it was sent when he arrived recently in New York. The fair managément knew that the Cam- bria County fair was well known am- ong all the fair people and the public in this country, but the call from New Zealand was rather a gratifying sur- prise, HEAVY DAMAGE BY BLAZES AT DUNLO Two double dwellings were des- troyed and two other doubles houses were badly damaged by fire at Dunlo Sunday morning about 10:30 o’clock, entailing a loss estimated at about $12,500. The houses were owned by the Logan Coal Company. The fire started in a vacant house | and is believed to have been of an incendiary origin. Fanned by a strong wind the flames quickly spread and when volunteer fire-fighters were un- able to check the blazes a call for help was sent to the Windber, South | Fork and Portage fire companies, all | responding within a short time after | being notified. | Three of the dwelling were occu- pied by the John Petris, Martin Gav- Sember families. - The Petris and Gavanchak | 4 A oe : CEE AAT EA TET TTI) families were attending church ser- 1 Victor R.

Another fire broke out about 4 o’- clock Monday in one of the Logan Company houses nearby the ruins of Sunday and the structure, which was unoccupied, was badly gutted. The blaze is also believed to have been of an incendiary origin. The loss was about $1,000. Investigation of the two fires is now under way. ST. AUGUSTINE NOTES Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
