Show p)(SIEIR BEVERLY . HILLS Well all I know Is Just what I read in the papers. Well Mr. HooTer got back from part ot the country he bad never been In till he was President Its awful bard for Mr. Hoover to find new places to go after election, elec-tion, for he bas traveled so much. B u t b e manages to find some. They was going to try a im la. i a Battleship to see it it would work after they had had it renovated, so he Just says, "Here is the time for me to get away from all this mess." So be picked him out a'bunch of congenial friends, mostly standpat Republicans and Joined the Navy and started seeing the World. It dtdent used to be hard to find some place for Coolidge to go where he had never been, all you had to do was Just to suggest any one of the forty eight States outside of Vermont Ver-mont and Massachusetts, and he was all set for new territory. When he set sail for Black knolls of South Dakota, why that compared In Importance to him to Hoover leaving for Mary Bird Land in the Anartlc. Mr. Coolidge -did make Cuba one time. I was there at the time, and w it and he got a great welcomo too. But Mr. Hoover went on and found the Virgin Islands. A good many people thought such a place as that was a myth, but he went there and found it really. Peo- pie nowadays call these "Good will 1 tours." But you, cant get peoples good will nowadays unless you bring em something. He took em a speech but no donations. So outside of what flsh he got on the trip, Its kinder bard to figure out Just the exact beneflltlary results. He told em that he wanted to give every one of them the same as we had up here. Well that depends on how wall posted they are on what is happening happen-ing to us, how they took that re-mark. re-mark. In other words it they took him at his word, and wanted what we got ftey would immediately ask for Red Cross relief. But I think it as a mighty fine trip tor him to have taken, and it will do a lot ot good. - Roosevelt went down there when he was President, and everything every-thing he did was O K, so I know this must have been. Well what else - we got? Did you ever read such a procession ot acclaim as Charley Chaplin is making all over Europe? Why Charley dont any more than --land in a Country till the Prime Minister grabs him off to his home, like some Movie fan asking for 'an Autograph. Charley is pretty foxy though, and mighty well informed on affairs. He can talk and argue with them. He Is a pretty rabid Socialist and has made a pretty serious study of it. But that Chaplin is all that these Real so called Artists are supposed to be. And he is, he is the only genius developed In the films since they started. Any of us can get "Artistic" and say we wont work till noon, or , wont do this or that But we are doing it on some firms money, but Chaplin can come on his set and turn loose 600 people, peo-ple, tell em he will call em again some other time, and he is doing it on his dough. Art alnt put ou when you are paying for it out ot your own pocket He writes, df-rects, df-rects, and acts the whole thing. Any one else making a picture there is at least a dozen people that are directly concerned in its success. Chaplin replaces all of them alone. : Say what's going to happen ' to this wheat thing? The Govern- ment bought up a lot of last years crop, and now they got it and here ia coming com-ing along another an-other new crop. jPorah wants to five it to China to make rice but of. I would like to see it , . iven to renter farmers in this Country to make bread out of. You'd be surprised if you knew.bow little those poor .people had to live on that was Is- sued by the Red Cross. They cm marvelous work as usual the Red Cspsg, but what I mean Is if the fcSfTa thing come up again, I sure would like to see em have enough more money so the issue of rations would be larger. Of course when ypu are getting Charity you cant bei the chooser, but it was barley enough to get along on. Now why cant something be done with some of -nil this surplus wheat? We are v going to have to charge that Farm ' - bShrto'pgptidHs tfff'as a loss any how rt looks' like now. Course I guess they did what they thought was rfght But people can raise things faster In this Country than anybody can buy it, even the Government Gov-ernment 8 19J1, McNsught Syndicate. Ioc) |
