Origin Of Cloves

Gloves trace their origin back for
centuries. the first mention of them
in literature is to be round in the
Bible, but scientists believe we should
go back still farther for among pre-
glacial relics an unmistakable draw

stone, was discovered.
1t is said that the first skilled glove

AMERICA AND DISARMAMENT

From Friends Peace Committee.
Disarmament is essential to Euro
pean financial recovery. 1t promises
great benefit to the United States.
The troubles through which France
is now passing illustrate both OF
these statements
The ceaseless drain on French
resources involved in military prep
arations have defeated every attempt
of successive administrations to re-
store the finances of their county.
France, and Europe, must cast over
board every possible burden, If
financial recovery is to be ac-
complished.
Europe's armament burden affects
the United States in two ways.
Directly, it keeps our customers
poor, and our international trade
less profitable. Indirectly, it makes
us the target for much of the bitter
ness of the average European
against his hard lot.
J. II
81, 900 year pays in income tax
S153. Armaments and foreign debts
combine to crush him. He believes
the ornaments necessary, under
present conditions, for the security
of his country. Therefore he re-
sents the debt-payments to the
United States. General reduction of
armaments reduces his tax-burden.
This at once reduces the illfeeling
now growing in Europe against the
United States.
Thus the United States has two
fold interest in disarmament; 1t
makes for better customers, and it
makes for better friends.
Professor James T. Shotwell has
pointed out way in which the
United States can speed up dis
armament. DR.. Shotwell is director
of the Division of History and Eco
Monies of the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace. His sug-
gestion has been adopted by the
World Alliance for Internationa
Friendship through the Churches
and is being widely discussed.
DR.. Shotwell proposes that the
United States announce, as part OF
our fundamental foreign policy, the
principle that we will not furnish
material of war to the nation that
starts the fight.
Without some such policy on the
part of the United States, it is vain
to hope for disarmament in Europe
says Dr. Shotwell The smaller
nations, who do not manufacture
their own war-material, cannot at
ford to disarm in face OF the posi-
bility that, if they are attacked
their attacker can secure munitions
from the United States.
This country has already adont.
ed such a policy in dealing with
Latin America; and Congress has
authorized the President, in his dis
erection, to prohibit the export OF
munitions to these countries. A
similar assurance, given to Europe,
that in the event of war the attack
ing nation will not be able to draw
on the United States for wal
material, will remove a serious
obstacle to the progress of dis
armament.

According to recently published
figures, there are about 100000
savings bank depositors in the
United States-about one in eight of
the total population. A decade ago
the preparation was about one in
nine, and twenty years ago about one
in ten. A century ago less than one
in 200 of the population had a
savings account. Bankers state that
the increase in savings accounts is
a result of the great era of in
dustrial development and quantity
production of the past 20 years, and
the high wages paid to workingmen.

When the Steel Corporation was
organized. 25 years ago, it required
IA hours of labor to produce ton
of pig iron; now a ton is produced
in two hours. An automobile fac

is built in 230 hours. If farm
production could be systematized in
this manner, the farm problems

of milk produced. A similar herd on $50

that on the basis of milk produced on
the higher priced feed, the $50 feed
was really worth only $4S.4O ton. or
$3.50 less than the price asked for it."
