NEARER ANO NEARER COMES
THE CLOUD
A few years ago the cloud oí Europeun war .seemed
literally no bigger than a man' hand. It has been on
the horizon for years F.ven when war broke il seemed
little inclined to drift westward.
Now as rumors thicken that closer relations with
Canada, perhaps even a formal mutual assistance treaty,
are in the making, the cloud is spreading. The sky is
dark with the threat.
If Britain should fail before the bliti kri g, the
assurance of Premier ('hurchill has been given that the
war will be continued ihmuiikI (¡ermany even from the
overseas territories of the empire. That means Canada.
There is nothing alarmist or hysterical about it.
Britain's chancts look better than they did a few weeks
ago. But it could happen, and only tin Mindly infatuated
can fail to look the -«possibility ijtiarely in the eye.
Suppose the wo'-st happen and Britain should be
knocked out. It is almost inevitable that Cariada would
continue at war with Germany and Italy. The United
States would certainly have no right to demand that
Canada withdraw from such a war. Canada is an indepen-
dent nation, and makes her own decisions.
Yet the United States cannot permit and will not
permit any foreign power to seize a single inch of
Canadan soil. That has nothing to do with sentiment,
though it is certainly true that the people of the United
States have old and deep friendship with the Canadians.
It is simply a matter of notiona '!safety By the relentless
logic of geography and events, the United States would
have to join forces to defend a country actively at war
with European powers. How that could be accomplished
without taking part in the war on an "all out" basis is
hard to see. In fact, one cannot foresee it. It is idle to
say in advance what: th. United States would do. Policy
wWtoM hav;.' to march with necessity, day by day.
The United States must be ready to face any such
situation which may develop without its having had a
word to say about its dev lopment. The American! people
must be ready mentally to adjust themselves to a new-
situation. Military ce-nf o fences should be held to assure
complete undi rstanding. so Mat any steps the United
States may be compelled to make to defend North
America may be taken promptly and surely.
We may still hope that matters will not come to
this desperate pass. But it would be folly to blink the
fact that they might, < r to neglcet every possible measure
that can be taken in advance to meet them.
GOVERNMENT B
ISITION
As some wit has already pointed 01,1, there is a
distinctly Vichy smell to the performance new being
staged in Riom, France.
Is it conce'vable thai I*"ranee, in the throes of attempt-
ing to bring order and reason out of the ruin and chaos
left by the German conquest, has nothing better and
more constructive to do than to stage this hippodrome?
Government by inquisition, the five-ring trial of
officials for the edification of the populace, is an old
Stunt, brought to its gayest flowering in the Russian
treason trials. It seems unlikely that the eminently sane
and hard-headed French people will be much impressed
by the trial of those who at least made an effort, no
matter how bungling, tn del. ml the Hierland should
have just given in without tVhting. Whether Daladier
& Co.'s conviction, or retain, Laval & Co's retirmenl
comes first, we wouldn't gue8> But both look like fore-
gone conclusions. Then perhaps, the real work of re-
constructing Franc:: can begin.
IS NEW YORK LEADERSHIP WANING?
We have been accustomed, with reason, to think
of New York a . the financial . apital of th • country.
There are signs that this primacy may be waning.
The Federal Reserve System compiles every month the
total volume of checking transact ion,s of the banks of
New York City and those of NO < ther cities. In 1 íl.'i I
the volume of those business transactions in New York
was 121 per cent as great m the combined totals of the
140 other cities.
But ever since 10:10 I hat percentage has been steadily
falling. The Cleveland Trust Co , in its business bulletin,
irthows thai if the present trend continues throughout this
year the dollar volume of business in New York as rep-
resented by check payment-1 will be only about 75 per
©ent as great as the total of those same 140 outside
cities.
Decentralization is being talked as a defense measure
as of freeing the ''est of the country from the
tl" relation to New York. Perhaps, like so many
changes, tin's is going on unnoticed even while
about means of bringing it about.

VI MEN Huzal Lélfhtofl wulkcd
* into the study, it wan quite
ppurent she had comptet«ly re-
fuvpred from the shock of find-
tSuyloi'' body. Aloof und self-
compotitfd, site slood poe.ed in the
<liw)t way for ;i moment, as if wait-
ing for Lieutenant CTLeury to ac-
knowledge her presence.
The police officer was «till
«•«ted at Sayler s desk, engrossed
in several documents he had
pread befow him. Lights in the
room were coming from a series
of lamps along the walls and iron
the desk lamp. O'Leary Anally
looked up, and there wa« the trace
ut a smile on hie face.
"Miss Lelghton?" Hazel nodded.
"I'm Lieutenant O'Leary. .Come
aver here and alt down, please."
Calmly Haw?l walked toward
the lieutenant. It was only
when she reached Uie dark,
Ragged stain in the middle of the
room that she hesitated a mo-
neat and carefully stepped
around it. O'Leary motioned her
Into a chair thak had been placed
to the side of the desk, at his
right.
"Miss Lelghton, I understand it
was you who first came upon the
body " he said.
She lighted a clgaret. "Yes. It
was pretty much of a shock."
"Did you enter this room at
all?"
"Not until the others came. I
just screamed ... 1 couldn't help
it. Ami then i felt weak, so 1
hung onto the door and stared at
the body until Dale and the rest
came from the drawing room.
The lieutenant Angered the
check he had tiken from Uie desk
drawer. "Miss Leighton, did you
know that you were to get a $5000
check from Mr. Sayter tonight?"
* * .*
POR a moment, Hazel's eyes
faltered, and she tamped out
her clgaret with quick, nervous
movements of her long, slender
fingers. "Why, yes," she «aid
slowly. "Mr. Sayler was a law-
yer, you know, and the checl
was part of a business matter h
was handling for me."
"What kind of business?"
"I don't think that matters. It
was personal . . . nothing at a)l
to do with—with what happened
here tonight."
O'Leary held out a single sheet
of paper, clipped to a tan legal
jacket. "Did it have anything to
do with this?".
>
"Why. I don't know. I can't—"
"Maybe I ought to tell you what
this is," O'Leary interrupted. "It's
a release- a release from possible
future breach of promise action
against Martin Sayler. There's a
space down here for you to sign.
You won't need to now."
Hazel sat forward in her chair
and rested her elbows on the
desk. "I can't understand It. I
haven't the faintest notion what
you mean."
O'Leary looked straight at the
blond woman and gestured mildly
with a cigar he took from his vest
pocket. "Oh, yes, you have, Miss
Lelghton. I'll tell you what it
meuns. Sayler was going to give
you $5000 so you wouldn't sue
him. And he was going to make
sure that you cauldn't sue. Maybe
you'd better tell me the rasfc"
Hazel sat very rigidly, har blond
hair glimmering in the glow of
the desk lamp. Little spots of
angry red rose in her cheeks. "All
right, Lieutenant," she said. "I'll
tell you. Maybe that's better.
Then you won't be getting a lot
of ideas about something that isn't
so."
O'Leary struck u match and
held it to his cigar. "Right. It
would be u lot better all around
if you told me everything."
"Sayler was one of the lowest
persons I aver met," Hazel said.
"Funny about that ... I thought
I loved him. He's got a kind of
veneer that doesn't show up so
badly under the right kind ot
light. We went together lor al-
most a year. He wanted me to
marry him, but I wasn't sure.
"And then, last week, he made
me an. effer . . . this offer. I was
never so insulted In my life. I
had known his attitude toward me
was changing. But I didn't know
what a rotter he was until he told
me the wedding was off and of-
fered me $5000 to Ise a good girl.
I slapped his face."
O'Leary leaued back In his
swivel chair. "Why were you here
tonight, then, Miss Lelghton?"
Hjizel avoided the officer's eyes.
"I don't know. There was some-
thing about that man ... I can't
tell you what exactly. He aaked
me to come, and I knew why he
wanted me here. I didn't want
to come. 1 had no intentions of
coming. Until tonight , . . and
then something just seemed to
draw me here. 1 wish I hadn't
now."
"I can understand that," said
O'Leary.
• * *
UROM the vestibule doorway,
J Sergeant Carroll stepped into
the room. "Look, Chief," said the
Sergeant. "The boys have betm
doing a little checking, and the
medical examiner telephoned. I
thought maybe you wanted to
know—"
"Go ahead, Sergeant," O'Leary
said.
Carroll shrugged. "Okay. Well,
first of all, we checked the phone
company like you said. They'd
know if any long distance calls
were made hare tonight. There
wasn't any."
O'Leary nodded. "Which means
Sayler never reached his desk.
He was killed right after he left
the others in the drawing room-
on hiá way back to the desk."
Carroll squinted. "Right. And
here's what the medical examiner
has to say. He made a quick
check and he said the bullet hit
Sayler from the right, at an angle,
and struck his heart. It knocked
him off like a building collapsed
on him."
"Which means that the «hot
mutt have been fired from some-
where near that window . . .
right?"
. "m*-: • . Only it wasn't—not
through tho window, anyway."
O'Leary's eyes became quizzical,
but he waited for Carroll to con-
tinue.
"The boys have been goine "ver
the grounds with a comb," the
sergeant explained. "There ain't
any footprints. The ground is
pretty soft outside this window,
and if mybody was hanging
around th*re'd be footprints sure.
And the window ain't been
touched ... not from the out-
side. The only way to open that
window is with a crowbar or
something sharp, unless it's
opened from the inside. That'd
leave a mark. There isn't any.
Maybe the fingerprints we took
on 4he inside will show some-
thing."
O'Leary grunted. -They won't
show anything. The housekeep-
er's, Barbeur's, Sayler's, a few
cops'—they'll be a smear. Any-
body who'd try a job like that
would be smart enough to wear
gloves."
"Yeah, sure," Carroll assented.
"We just thought we'd better,
though—the old routine."
"The angle of the shot is all
wrong for any of the other win-
dows?"
"Right."
"And no shot could have been
fired through this window—the
one that would give us the right
angle?"
"Right again," said Carroll.
"There's only one answer I
can see, Sergeant." O'Leary said.
"Whoever committed the murder
was right here in this houne—is
probably still here."

CHAPTER V
T-TAZEL LEIGHTON looked In-
11 credulously, first at Sergeant
Carroll and then at Lieutenant
O'Leary. "But that's impossible,
she said. "How could anyone in
this house have committed the
murder? We were all in the
drawing room. No one left until
I got up and found the body."
O'Leary sighed the deep sigh
of a police officer who has a job
on his hands. "Sure, it's impos
sible. All clever murders are im-
possible. That's what the mur
derer wants us to think. That's
why they're clever—until they're
caught."
Hazel glared at the lieutenant
disdainfully. And then suddenly
her eyes grew larger und her
eyebrows arched ominously. "Do
you mean that we're—that I'm a
suspect?"
"Everyone's a suspect until we
find the right party," said
O'Leary.
"That's ridiculous," Hazel
snapped. She got tó her feet. "All
of us had plenty of reason to
want to see Martin out of the
way, and some of us would prob-
ably have murdered him if it had
occurred to us or if we had been
given the chance. But we
weren't." She said haughtily, "I'll
leave you bloodhounds until
you've figured out the answer on
your little oulja board."
The two officers watched her
us she walked out of the study.
Then Carroll shook his head, sadly
nnd sauntered over to the desk
nnd dropped heavily into the chair
Hazel hud Just left. "YouW think
she done it," he said.
O'Leary smiled weakly. "Maybe
she did. She's been Sayler's girl
friend and he wanted to call it
quite—wanted to buy her off. She
was Insulted—so she «ays."
Carroll scratched his head and
squinted. "Yeah, but Chief, she
couldn't have done it. She didn't
hBve time. She left the other
room and a couple of seconds
later they heard her scream. She
didn't have any gun. And the
angle of the bullet Is all wrong
. . . comes from over here some-
where and not from Chat door."
"That's th# troubH? with this

He was out in the room above
the garage. He's the only one who
was loose long enough to have
taken a pot shot at Sayler."
O'Leary looked up quickly,
"Where is he now?"
"StUl In his room. A couple of
boys have their eyes on the ga-
rage. I thought you might want
to see him."
"Okay, bring him in, Sergeant.
We'll have a little talk with him."
• • *
TT took Carroll Ave minutes to
return with a medium-sized
man, with swarthy skin and dark,
wiry hair. There was a thin scar
that ran along his neck and his
eyes were deep and hollow.
O'Leary had been staring va-
cantly into the blackness through
the French windows near the
desk. He turned and took in the
man with a swift glance. "Are
you Mr. Sayler's chauffeur?"
The man clenched his fist.
• Yes, sir."
"Did you know Mr. Sayler is
dead?"
"Yes, sir. The cops—the officers
told me."
"What's your name?"
"Riggs."
"Is that your real name?"
The man hesitated a moment.
"No, sir. That's what Mr. Suyler
culled me, My name's Carlos
Gomez,"
"Riggs will do . . . we'll cull
you that."
Carroll mode a quick entry on
a loose envelope in his pocket.
O'Leary walked along the south
edge of the room und perched
finally on the arm of a broad sofa
that stood before the fireplace.
Riggs looked about him, and for
a moment his eyes remained
pinned to the large blotch in the
sand-colored rug.
"Where were you tonight,
Riggs?" O'Leary asked.
"Right here on the grounds . . .
in my room."
"And you stayed there?"
"Yes, sir. I did."
"Did you hear anything—any
noises ut all . . . like someone
prowling around?"
"No, sir."
"What were you doing In your
room?"
"Reading a magazine."
Carroll kept his gaze steadily
on the chauffeur, who stood rigid-
ly at attention. O'Leary shifted
his cigar from hla hand to a cor-
ner of his mouth.
"How long have you worked
here, RlgRS?" he asked.
The man calculated for a mo-
ment and then said, "Six years
. . a little more."
"Did you drive Mr. Sayler
•rywhere he went?"
"Almost sver y where, He

couldn't drive a car himself, but
he sometimes took a taxi."
"Tell me, Riggs, did your boss
have many enemies?"
Riggs glared at the floor. "I
suppose so . . . everyone has."
"I mean more than usual."
"I don't know, sir." The chauf-
feur avoided the lieutenant's eyes.
"That wasn't my business."
Sergeant Carroll blurted, "Lis-
ten, buddy, all hackmen know
about their bosses' affairs. You

O'Leary got up. "All right,
Riggs. That's enough. Go back
to the garage. You'd better not
leave the grounds, though. We
may not be finished with you
"Yes, sir." Riggs looked quickly
at O'Leary and Carroll and then
turned and walked hurriedly from
the room into the library.

pARROLL watched him until he
^ was out of the room. Then
he wheeled swiftly on O'Leary.
"That's our man, Chief," he said.
"What maken you think so?"
"Who else could it be? He was
the only one who was loose long
enough. Nobody was with him
from 8:15 until we came. Any-
way, he looks like the kind of guy
who might pull a Job like Uiis."
O'Leary «hook his head. "May-
be. Maybe you're right. Only I'd
hate to try to get a conviction on
the evidence we've got now. Re-
member, the shot was flred from
this window . , . only the window
was never opened. Not from the
outside, at least."
O'Leary sauntered over near
the door. In the drawing room
across the hallway he could
Mardell gesturing to Hazel Leigh-
ton. Rhe4a Waters was sitting
nearby. Dale Appleby and George
Barbour were probably there, too.
The lieutenant walked briskly
back to the window and motioned
Carroll to Home over. For a few
minutes, the two men spoke softly.
