It is hard for us to believe that Arthur Brisbane and Westbrook Pegler, well-known N. Y. City newspapermen, columnists, (white), really wanted to incite a riot in New York at the time of the Louis-Carnera fight, as charged in several of our papers, and yet they wrote and had published so much stuff, that had such a tendency, that many believed it was just what they were trying to do. Of course, they did not succeed. There was no riot or any indication of such untoward doings.
All the Christian world, with the possible exception of one or two European countries, are hoping that if Primo Benito Mussolini of Italy does war on Ethiopia (Abyssinia), as threatened, the result will be what it was when the two countries fought at Adowa in 1916-the Italian army was routed by the Abyssinians. This time, Italy will be waging a war of conquest, pure and simple just what it tried to start at that time and ought to again get what it did then. And here is hoping that it will be another, altho much larger, Joe Louis Barrow-Primo Carnera fight.
