And Yet What Is Conversation

And yet, you ask me, what should
we talk about II we didn't give our
various opinions. What is CONVEX
sation if not the reaction of our
minds upon events and personalities
and SO forth?
Right you are. And very silly
you make me seem if you take in
just that sense. OF course comment
on things and people and events is
perfectly legitimate and of course
mere statements of fact would make
lifeless conversation.

selves to saying 1T is dull day" or

port of his bill providing for a ma

The deficiencies i'll our means of ma
tional defense, embodied in the army
and navy, are almost wholly due to
Congress- said Senator Lodge. There
never has been any comprehensive plan
defenses as a whole, or even for deal
ing with our army and navy as sep
arate and complete entities. The re-
suit. of course, is total lack of
unity of plan, and Congress has never
been willing to follow the advice of
alone competent to set forth compre-
hensive, intelligent and far-reaching
systems. or to establish what we most
need. COUNCIL of national defense, in
which both the executive and legisla-
tive branches should be represented.
Congress has turned deaf ear to
the recommendations of one Secretary
after another, both in the War and
Navy Departments, that we should
cease wasting money on useless navy

posts where there was no need of

Senator Lodge stated that he had

other things. to failure of the Ameri-
