Therefore, be cannot allow Italy to 'sarrn although he would like to save lie money and turn his thoughts and ffort's to peace. : : Every other ruler in Europe wiil ay the same, excepting some Ballon ittle countries. They say "fighting is he only occupation -.worthy of a gen leman." This country, if it would attend to ts own business, keep its defenses iu irder and keep them modern, could ?ave half what it spends on prepara-:ion prepara-:ion now, and he well prepared. Meanwhile, it is a pleasure to hear ;hat the League Court ha been post-poped post-poped for another year. Perhaps that s "letting the old. cat die. out." The great Einstein is on his way to .he Pacific Coast, going, most wisely, .hrough the Panama Canal. He will ;ee things there , that will make mat-:ers mat-:ers of space and time, seem tempor-irily tempor-irily real. Of . course, he can prove hat there is notthing there except de- ;eptive aggregations of electrons and I Drotons, negatively and positively :harged,: the electrons going around :he protons trillions of times in a sec-nd. sec-nd. 1 : j Nevertheless, the very solid, looking locks and cuts are sufficiently real to satisfy the ordinary mortal. The building of five new fortresses in the Island of Corsica alarms Italy, iccording to report from Leghorn. The Telegrafo says that ships from France are unloading rifles, machine ;uns, munitions, armored cars, field elephones and cannon and "arming Corsica in a formidable manner." The Italian, Napoleon Bonaparte, starting from Corsica to the military school in France, finally ruled the French and conquered much of Europe. Eu-rope. It would be strange, if France eturned- by the Napoleon road to con-juer con-juer Italy through Corsica. There is trouble in India also, troops igain called out to stop riots. . Hindus lon't like cloth made in England When a large truck loaded with much :loth appeared, the Hindus,- who have deas about fighting that are very un-English, un-English, lay down in front of the .ruck to stop it. It killed one of them. To win liberty with "fighting" of .hat kind will take a long time. The glorious and prosperous United States is spending one million five iiundred thousand . dollars of the public's pub-lic's money to buy . a very fine palace in Berlin to be the home of the United States Ambassador there. It spends pl.250,000 on an ambassador's palace n the Argentine. Is that expenditure necessary? Is it iemocratic? Would it seem wise to the gentlemen gentle-men that founded the country? It is all very well to give men that contribute to campaign funds, or oth-srwise oth-srwise make themselves useful, a chance to meet kings and queens abroad, and hear themselves called 'Your Excellencies." But is it necessary to add a . $1,500,-300 $1,500,-300 palace to the treat? Benjamin Franklin did very well in Prance, and also England, without sny such palace. Wouldn't it be better to spend that money on a few miles of good roads in the United States, thus creating a 'cw jobs '. The House of Commons hears complaint com-plaint of inferior beer made in England Eng-land by mixing with it foreign ingredi-snts ingredi-snts including foreign grown hops. The hops grown in Bohemia are the best in the world, but the sound British Brit-ish idea ig to protect home industries What would British beer drinkers say, if, like thousands of workmen in America, they drank beer "needled" with denatured alcohol purchased at gas stations, redistilled, aud then pumped into the beer? Having given. $1,000,000 to the unemployment un-employment fund, John D. Rockefeller arid his. son now give $500,000 more from the Rockefeller Foundation. John D. Rockeffelr Sr., in his ninety-first ninety-first year, and John D. Rockefeller Jr., in his fifty-sixth year, both in excellent ex-cellent health, recalls the ancient Jewish saying: "What you give in health is gold, what you give in sickness sick-ness is silver: what you give after loath is lead." '. r I A United States judge, in New Jersey, Jer-sey, as you know, announced from the bench that the prohibition law is not legal. Immediately following this decision, de-cision, prohibition authorities in Jersey Jer-sey City issued three prohibition Uea.reh warrants and announced that ! '.hey would ignore the judge'3 de- vision. I If "wets," following the decision of a 'united States Judge, announced that they would pay no attention to it, that would be criticized. I I Everything is comparative, even sorrow. The head of a great bank in i New York tells of a client "with the saddest face I have ever seen in mv life." I One year ago this client was worth ' U least $60,000,000. And today his for-lune for-lune is reduced to not more than $20 000.000. "And you can't imagine," said the banker, "how that man suffers." suf-fers." (. 1930. tr (tint Fnron Srodicju, Uc) |
