After the big talk at Washington

He seems quite in earnest about it.
Henry is in earnest about nearly

ing swords into plowshares and
spears into pruning books.
It could be done, very likely, as
Henry says. The steel warships could
be- cut to pieces with aeetylene
torches and useful things could be
made out of them. And whether Hen

be needed. and the scrapped ships

of men in the steel and ship-building
industries who stand to lose their
jobs through naval disarmament,
work could be given to still more
thousands by proper diversion of the
ship metal to peaceful industry
