CIVIL WAR IN SPAIN.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —At the moment Spain is occib pying the principal place on th< troubled map of the world. What disquiets people who have respect for law and order is the terrible effects on human society when passions art roused and allowed to gain complete mastery. It may be difficult to stagt any revolt, but once staged it is a thousand times more difficult to stop it. That is where the danger lies. There must be injustice and wrong somewhere at the back of this rising, The difficulty is'to fix or apportion tin blame. Once more we should feel profoundly thankful that in this countrj we have not to cope with such terrific, almost uncontrollable forces. We havi wrongs and injustices in our sociai order, but there is at least an honesl desire to right them as soon as possible. Our concern is to handle oui own private problems as skilfully a: possible—do our bit, in fact, ant leave the rest. If everybody did thai there would he no revolutions in Syaii or any other country.—l am, etc./ R. A. Doxnellt. October 7. ,
