DUNN AND DUMMER REVEAL
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT
DISARMAMENT

Whats been done about this dis
armament thing?" asked Senator
DUNN. "If remember correctly there
was a big conference at Washington
few month ago at which the major
powers agreed that anything larger
than a pea blower was an awful
thing to have around the house. and
pledged themselves to scrap their
shooting irons at an early date"
you're correct In your recollec-
tions," said Representative Dummer.
There was conference at WASH
ington-the disarmament conference
and it got a lot of front page public
ity the world over. Secretary Hughes
submitted a program showing just
how many warships each nation
should tear UP, and the diplomats ac-
cepted it with no more than the usual
speeches.
Il remember the list of ships each
nation agreed to junk was most i'm
pressive. said Senator DUNN
"The rap-iron dealers began TO
look forward to the biggest business
in history" remarked Dummer. |

gave up bidding on discarded auto

nothing smaller than battle cruisers.

as I remember it. and there was to
be a ten-year holiday" said DUNN.

THE WHISTLER
BY BERTON BRALEY
BY BERToN BRALEY

A little boy went whistling,
A'whistling down the street:
And Fate, grim, gray and bristling,
And Failure and Defeat,
Before which / had covered,
Became but phantoms then
And with new vigor lowered
l faced the world againl
A boy with lips apucker
And heart that knew no care,
He brought me aid and succor
When l was in despair;
What tune his lips were shrilling
] do not know-but !
Felt all my spirit filling
With hope and courage high!
oh, there are fugues that thunder
And symphonies that glow
With glory and with wonder,
But when my heart is low,
When all Life's paths are bristling
With woes too great to meet,
Give me a small boy. whistling,
A-whistling down the street!

Uncle Sans Junk Business

the American navy are being scrapped
under the disarmament treaty and
the Junk is to be handled in such a
way that many people will ride in
automobiles, sail in ships, use elec-
trical appliances and use tools which
formerly constituted parts of the
great ships.
Other Junking Enterprises
1t is the greatest and most spec
tacular junking enterprise which has
followed the war. but there are many
others. The government bought a
tremendous quantity of material OF
all sorts and built many buildings
especially for war use. Many OF
these are all being scrapped. In
every big city in the country can be
found important evidences of this
vast industry which was so much
stimulated by the war Washington
is a typical example. A business
man purchased or leased a portion
of Camp Meigs, the. temporary army
camp where the war garrison OF
washington was quartered. Using
the camp site as junk yard, ne
proceeded TO scrap the camp build-
ings as well as many other tempo
rary buildings erected in Washing
ton In the emergency of war. In
such deals the purchaser at second
hand of a building takes everything
in it-lumber, bricks, Steel plumbing
lighting fixtures and all other ma
terials which go to make up a house.
This results in the accumulation of
stock for a sort of department store
of the building trade. Builders can
find in such yards almost anything
in the way of material for any sort
of building.
This industry is thriving in many
cities especially those near which
great army camps were located dur
ing the war. The process OF reduc-
ing to workable material and selling
to the public for peaceful purposes
the ships. buildings and many other
objects used is going on constantly
and will continue for some years be-
fore all the war material will be ab-
sorbed. Many people will be using
unconsciously, in automobile, house
knife and fork at table, or almost
any other conceivable object, some
souvenir.
The process OF destruction and
junking goes on always, but IS ac-
centuated by war because then it
was accelerated. John Stuart Mill,
the eminent English economist,
pointed out that every five years
practically the whole tangible wealth
of a nation is destroyed. More build
ings are torn down every month in
peaceful processes of Improvement,
in many American cities, than We're
shelled down at the siege of Ant
werp. Last years wheat crop is
totally destroyed. Nearly all of last
years cotton is consumed or soon
will be. The destruction Of WEI is
more spectacular, and therefore re-
garded as more disastrous. but in an
economic sense the loss is not greatly
different from the ordinary peace
time destruction deliberately under
ttl1en as measure of progress.

Dear Mr.. Editor:

which | see used from time to tune III

(The word is synonym, we under
stand, of "caponizing." 1t denotes an
Improvement of that art and has
como into use since the revision of
any of the dictionaries mentioned,
though it will probably appear III q

first syllable. in which 20" has the

mise that the word relates in any way
to the late Tucson conference would
be justified in believing that % OF

JEWISH IMMIGRATION TO
ARGENTINE INCREASES

Buenos Aires q. T. A.)-The immi-
grafton to Argentine has been greatly
increased during the last year, about
$4,000, of which great number are
Jews, entering the country during the
last half year.
The Argentine Jews have estab-
lished committee for the Protection
of Immigrants, whose task it is to
take care of the incoming immigrants
and to find employment for them. The
committee is in touch with all i'm
portant industrial enterprises and has
recently received request from the
South Railway Lines to supply them
with Jewish workmen.
A heated discussion has been start
ed in the Jewish press, whether there
is room in Argentine for newcomers.
The "Yiddishe Zeitung," a local Yid-
dish daily, sharply criticizes Work
mems immigration Committee for
issuing leafet which they also dis
tributed in the European emigration

not to proceed to Argentine because

COOPERATION PROBABLE BE-
TWEEN p. ID. C.. AND Z. O. A.

New York-In letter to Mr.. Nor
ris Rothenberg, Judge Julian w.
Mack, chairman of the Palestine De-
velopment Council explains the stand
of the P. D. c.. on making peace or
cooperating with the Zionist. Organ
ization: v
81. The P. D. c., as the z. O. A.
in the resolutions at it's last conven-
ton clearly recognizes, is an organ
ization devoted exclusively to the ini-
tiation or support of enterprises
which directly further the social econ
omic up-building of Palestine.
"2. In carrying out it's defined pur-
pose the P. D. G. has at all times been
eager for cooperation with every in
dividual or organization ready to
work for such enterprises as the P.
d. c. by it's constitution is to sponsor.
SO. To that end the P. D. c., as
you know, has entered into an ar
rangement for cooperation with the
Central Conference of American
Rabbis and is now seeking to work
out a cooperative support of the
Gutenberg project by various organ
izations, including the I. C. A., J. C.
T., Economic Board for Palestine, and
J. D. C.
"a. Of course, therefore, the P. D.
c. will gladly explore ways and means
of cooperation on the specific pro-
gram of the P. D. G. with the z. o. A.
To that end I have been author
lied to appoint a committee under
my craftsmanship to confer with your
committee to work out definite ways
and means Of cooperation on enter
prises which fall within the scope of
the work of the P. D. c., all of which
l trust enlist our common interest.
"In view of his activity in Palestine
on our behalf and in the furtherance
of these enterprises, I deem it essen
tial to have Mr.. Sol Rosenbloom as
a member Of this committee. He has
now left Palestine and will be home
next month. Upon his return I shall
advise you of the full membership of
the committee" - .. =.

NINE JEWS IN HUNGARIAN
PARLIAMENT

The new Hungarian Parliament in
cludes nine Jews, all of whom are of
the Opposition to the government. At
a meeting of the. Budapest Jewish
community, which, was recently held
to felicitate the new members on their
election, DR.. Vazsonyi, president of
the Budapest Democratic Club, and
one of the elected deputies, declared
that there were two questions vital to
Hungarian Jewry which will have to
be solved by the new Parliament.
The first was that of the numerous
clauses" which must be abrogated,
and on the other was the denial to
Jews of the right of representation
in the Upper House. He said that it
will be the duty of the Jewish depu-
ties to force these matters in Parlia-
ment and to bring them to satisfac-
tory solution.

accuses this committee of having only
the interests of the workmen resid-
ing in Argentine at heart, pointing
out that Jewish workmen in the
United States have always urged the
government to lift the bar on immi-

ing brethren in Europe. The Jewish
workmen in Argentine, says the

support of the reactionary elements
in the country to advocate the re-
