Show This Week by Arthur Brisbane Lindbergh's Next Day Coolidge 1932? No. Religious Agitation Wheat, Copper Down Lindbergh remembers the question ques-tion that Napoleon used to hi3 marshals when they reported a victory: "What did you do the next day?" This is "the next day" for Lindbergh, and he intends in-tends to fly, with his wife, to Japan Ja-pan and China, over the Pacific Ocean. Because his wife is going, Colonel Lindbergh will fly over a northern narrow stretch of the Pacific, no "middle of the ocean, and no matter what happens" this time. And he will fly a ship that can land on water. Mr. Coolidge talks to his manager mana-ger about discontinuance for a while his daily articles that appear ap-pear in the Chicago Herald and Examiner, Seattle Post Intelligencer Intelli-gencer and other newspapers. Mr. Coolidge, it is suggested, does not choose to be a slave and work every week day in the year. Some uier inferior slaves wonder hoT he would like to rwork seven days every week in the year, writing for two sets of daily newspapers on week days, and two articles for each Sunday. It is even suggested that Mr. Coolidge intends to stop newspape: work entirely, but that is not probable. prob-able. He gives good advice, publishes pub-lishes wise and helpful comment, and earns twice as much as the people pay President Hoover, while leading, as the late Joseph Pulitzer used to say, 'the life of a millionaire million-aire without its cares " Some suggest that Mr. Coolidge intends to run for President in 1932. It is quite safe to say that is not so. In 1936, perhaps, not 1932. There is reason to believe that the sudden violent outburst of an ti-Catholic hostility in Spain, Italy and elsewhere will be overcome by concialatory measures. In Italy, the Pope has forbidden all Catholic processions and demonstrations dem-onstrations of any kind, outside of churches, and forbidden the official Vatican organ, the Osservator Romano, Ro-mano, to publish hostile comment on the Fascist government. Mussolini, on his part, has forbidden for-bidden the press to continue the publication of news articles and editorials calculated to foment anti-Catholic hatred. Sudden, entirely unexpected anti-Catholic anti-Catholic outbreaks have appeared in different places. For instance, in Scotland, Catholic religious processions pro-cessions are broken up by mobs on the streets, in one case, the mob actually stoning the image of the Virgin Mary, carried in a Catholic Catho-lic parade. Millions whose feelings are deeply deep-ly wounded by such demonstrations, demonstra-tions, will remember that religion has always thriven under attack and persecution. Good news of the wheat crops in Texas, enormous crops. And that, as usual, was bad news for wheat growers. Under our intelligent system of agriculture and marketing, market-ing, good crops in wheat or cotton mean trouble and poor prices for farmers. With a cessation of Government buying and "pyramiding," the price of American wheat fell sharply, recently, as might be expected. In one hour June wheat dropped 12 la cents in Chicago. Old "supply and demand" is patient, pa-tient, waits and wins. While our farmers mourn about "too much wheat" and other Americans Am-ericans mourn too much cotton, coal, oil, etc., Russia is rejoicing in the certainty of a bumper wheat harvest, a crop df one billion three hundred and fourteen million bushels, bush-els, and a surplus, for dumping of two hundred and fifty-two million bushels. A great wheat crop means cash for Russia, sorrow for other nations. na-tions. There must be good business busi-ness men in Russia, in spite of their "fanciful theories " Last year, Americans ate 1,335,-617,903 1,335,-617,903 pounds of candy. Something Some-thing over 14 per cent of the total amount is supposed to have been eaten by chlidren, which it not enough. Pure candy, of the proper pro-per kind, is not merely good, but an absolute necessary part of diet in childhood. Candy is important also for the old. Sugar is the best food for the muscles. And the old, with weakened hearts, should feed the heart muscles directly, by eating candy or sugar. Governor Roosevelt of New York, in the Mid-West, appears an intelligent in-telligent and tactful candidate for the Democratic nomination. He will not make the kind of mistake that led a Republican candidate to ignore Hiram Johnson in his own state. When Governor Roosevelt, Roose-velt, in Indiana, found that Governor Gov-ernor Ritchie had not been invited to a certain luncheon given in his, Posevelt's honor, Governor Roosevelt Roose-velt declined to go. The 1932 campaign will give those that "guess politics" excellent opportunities opportun-ities to show their skill. |
