Arms and the Deficit

Among the problems confronting the country are
the federal deficit and prospects of failure of the
February conference.
The two problems related closely. major
reason the serious budget shortages in the United
States Great Britain and other countries is the
travagance and waste of huge ornaments.
Our own country is much, more, to blame
than Others Nature has given us great natural
curity in our ocean barriers, and economic SUI
periority gives additional natural security
So we even have less than others to put
our trust in heavy ornaments. Yet we insist on
maintaining the most expensive mlitary-naval estab-
lishment of all.
President Hoover himself, more than one
casion has pointed this out He has said:
1.-THE American people should understand that
current expenditure strictly military activities of
the army and navy constitute the largest military
budget of any nation in the world today"
Why is it that Presidents with as much to say
about the necessity of economy in general and arma
ment economy in particular as Calvin Coolidge and
Herbert Hoover, permitted armament bills to increase
year by year?
Why is it that each year Hoover gives fiat order
to the army and navy to cut expenditures-and ends
by accepting larger army and navy OUTLAWS? We do
not know the answer.
But we do know that there will be very serious
sequences this year if Hoover fails again. The United
States treasury department just has announced a
deficit of almost $4OOOOOOOO for two months opera
ton.
That suggests the possibility of deficit for the
year exceeding two billions, for this year and last
a deficit of three billions. There is chance of any
major savings reduce that deficit except by arms
cut On the contrary many emergency depression
appropriations probably will be increased
In such critical financial condition the admins
tration might be expected to restrain the admrals
Instead, Navy Secretary Adams has submitted to
the director of the budget demand for more money
than last year. When Adams was asked by the press
If this was not violation of the Hoover policy against
new naval building Adams replied in effect that there
was no such Hoover policy.
What is the answer to that contradiction? Again
we do not know
But it is significant that Chairman Will Wood of
the house appropriations committee and Chairman
French of the house subcommittee on naval appro-
prations have declared for drastic naval cuts.
Thus President Hoover-if he wants to reduce the
military naval waste which is plunging depressed
country into deeper deficits and debts-win have the
backing not only of public opinion but also of the
congressional leaders Unless Hoover to the
admiras sweeping reductions therefore, will be easy
Besides helping to meet the deficit, American arms
reduction may save the February disarmament con-
ference which can not collapse without endangering
world peace.

1t is now realized generally
that vitamin D is developed in
the human body or in the tissues
generally by the action of SUM-
light or ergoSterol. The final
proof of this fact is accredited to
Steenbock of the University of
Wisconsin.
Vitamin D is found in many
food substances. Cod liver oil,
summer grown spinach, butter and
egg yolk contain it in excellent
amounts, as does also human liver.
1t can be secured through the
use of sunlight, through the use
of artificial radiation of the hui
man body, through the use of
foods especially irradiated.
It always should be borne in mind
that a close relationship exists be-
TWEEN vitamin D, calcium, phos-
phorus and sunlight.

reign of the car.
Moreover, Shaw is but borrowing
from the Tory mind, which he pre-

human rights must be curtailed lest
corruption enter in. He glorif1es in
the fact that the Soviet leaders
were not elected by adult suffrage.

Quit GrOuching

Thanks to Senator James Watson, the people now
have plain path back to prosperity, happiness,
comfort what have you
The trouble lies with the people themselves They
have simply grouched and grouched and grouched.
Now they invited to smile.
If you out of job, forget it. The senator
will that you never enter the League of Nations.
If your family is dependent on the township trus-
tee, be comforted Senator Watson will protect you
against any attempt by France to forget her debts
to this country
If you farmer and disturbed by the fact
that the mortgage is due, interest high and taxes
inevitable take a glance at Russia and discover that
the Russian farmer is in a still worse condition.
In his initial appearance in the present phase OF
his perennial campaign for reelection, the senator
announced that there is issue of unemployment
but the great burning question to be settled next
year is whether this country will enter the League
of Nations.
There came the grudgng admission that farm
prices are low, but what of it? We will have no
international "entanglements."
True, there may be men out of jobs But what
do you want2 The pesky people have talked about
bad times and inconsderate that they keep
on jabbering about them, as they walk down
to the township trustee where they can always get
q basket of food for a family of eight.
AS they strut their merry way to the poorhouse
they take JUNCTION to themselves that no federal
dollar will ever humiliate them and disgrace them
with dole.
Believe it or not, there is great difference be-
tween the charity given by terrified and grudging
contributor and unemployment insurance given by
a government that has the power to tax the huge
incomes of the shrewd and the greedy.
Believe it or not, the American standard of living,
whatever it may not be, must be maintained and
not one of the seven buffers in the palaces OF the
tariff benefciares will ever lose his job.
All the depression is mental, says the senator. If
people would only believe in prosperity it would be
here The tariff will never be lowered as long as
a Accent rate on wheat has given the Indiana
farmer 30-cent price in his field
The American worker will be protected against
cheap foreigners even though seven millions are
padding the pavements and told repeatedly that
we are firing and not hiring today.
It would be cruel to recall that when the tariff
measure was before the senate the Polyanna of In
diana arose in his seat and declared that within
thirty days there would be work for every profits
for all, greater prosperity than had been known
before
The thirty days history.
Well Bill Thompson was elected mayor of Chicago
by waging his own war against King George of Eng
land. Perhaps Watson can get back into the senate

where few Frenchmen vote.
Still, Indiana may be wiser than Chicago

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

N ms splendid volume, THE Martial Spirit" Walter
Il Mills debunkS the Spanish American war and
leaves the reader with several unpleasant sensations
and definite idea
1t is this: If nation could hang half dozen men
peIore war, 1t would half a dozen millions in
money, to say nothing of the men slaughtered. For
the plain reason that there likely would be no war
The tale OF the making of the trouble of 1898 is
not soothing reading especially to those who as chill
dren, can recall the wild camors and the antics of
the adults of that day.
What the pacifSts ought to do, it seems is to set
up system OF espionage during days of peace to dis
cover what motivateS the actions of those powerful
enough to make wars, just military authorities in
veStgate the behavior of men and suspect them yhen
exists
Thus could get line on the activities of those
who build fortunes out of the blood of their country
men.
DEFORE war is declared, it should be the right Of
- every soldier to know what he is fighting about
then was in position to know what he now is talking
about-it to help make more wealth for certain
publishing interests and to Danish boredom from tho
lives of few eminent gentlemen who had hank
ering to be heroic and famous.
Both these things were accomplished. And for this
unworthy aim, hordes of fine young men died from
insanitary camp conditions and from eating rotten
beef sold the government at fine profit by other
patriotic business men,
Mr. Roosevelt dashed up San Juan Hill and into
the presidency. The fag-Eavers had splendid time
and the song writer's got rich. War. it seems, al
ways is profitable for the ballad makers.
Afterward we had another opportunity to build
more memorials. which to give pleasure to the
survivors and instigators of all wars.

The Western Hills

IN 1919-ten years before the dis
Il covery of the Peking man-Dr.
Anderson began his studies in the
western hills behind Peking.
DR.. Anderson began work at a
place called Chi ku Shan, a name
which means Chicken Bone Hill,
and is thought to indicate that the
Chinese rad known for long time
Of the existence of fossils there.
He overheard some Of his work
men expressing surprise that he was
not excavating at nearby hill
known as Chou Kou Tien, which
they said was known to be much
richer in bones He took the sug-
gestion and changed the scene of
operations.
While excavating at the new site.
he found a piece Of quartz, a type
of rock which did not occur in the
region naturally.
He at once suspected that it had
been the weapon of a "cave man."
and turning to an assistant, said,
This is primitive man." But no
further justification of this opinion
was fC ind at the time.
In 1922, Dr. Otto Zdansky Of Up
sala, began work at the site with
funds provided by a Swedish patron,
Ivan Kreuger.
He took a large collection Of ma
terial back to Sweden for further
study and in 1926 announced the
discovery of two teeth which he de-
Scribed as distinctly human.
DR.. Davidson Black of the Peking
Union Medical college, impressed by
the discovery, induced the director
OF the college to appeal to the
Rockefeller Foundation for funds to
carry on the excavations.
The new excavations resulted in
the finding Of some fragments of a
skull in 1928 by DR.. Burger Bohlin,
who was working with DR.. c. c.
Young and w. c. Pei. On Dec. 2,
1929, Pei found the skull now known
as the Peking Man.

A Higher Court

For those who sometimes doubt the power Of public
opinion to change evil laws and to prevent vicious ad-
ministraon of laws such the Volstead act-and we
ourselves often are in that peSsstic mood-there is
hope in the following news Dispatch
NEW YORK, Sept. Son the ground its
evidence had been obtained by overlapping
and other unlawful means, the federal gov
eminent moved nolle prosequi in a Volstead
case which involved fifteen men and two
women arrested last year in this city, accused
of bootlegging on large scale.
Yet government overlapping is "legal"-made le-
gal in 1928 by f1ve-to-four decision of the United
States supreme court.
Three years ago the government won its dirty case
in the supreme court Since then the government has
lost its in the higher court of public opinion And
now the government bows to public opinion by with
drawing overlapping evidence.
Thus the famous minority opinion OF Justice Bran
deis finally prevails 1t said:
Decency, security and liberty alike demand that
government officials shall be subjected to the same
rules OF conduct that commands to the citizen In
government of law, existence of the government will
be mpered if it fails to observe the law scrupulously
Crime is contagious. If the government becomes
lawbreaker it breeds contempt for law; it invites
every man to become law unto himself; it invites
anarchy"

Not Exactly a Bargain

WET Bernard Shaw grows a bit
l. confused in his panegyric for
the strong man who is kind enough
to help out his fellows through a
benevolent dictatorship.
"Offer Stain Mr.. Hoover's job and
emoluments and see what he will
say to you"
This is hardly a bombshell. Why
on earth should Stain want to
swap jobs with Hoover? 1t is true
that Stains actual salary is tiny
and that aside from a fleet of Rolls
Royces the Russian dictator does
not go in for luxury.
But Stain has within his fist the
greatest amount of power ever
achieved by any individual within
century. Perhaps in the history
of the world. He can make war or
peace on his own say-so within
forty-eight hours. With the wave
of a hand he can Danish even q.
Trotski.
And no one can even print pro-
test. With perfect sincerity and
safety, can call Herbert Hoover a
flabby futilitarian, but no newspaper
man in Russia may so much as
question the esthetic effect of Sta
Inns latest haircut.
Mr.. Shaw seems to believe that
the world must choose either the
mailed fist or feet Of clay. There
used to be another notion. 1t had
to do with world brotherhood

Wall Streeters' Ne1O Banking
System Is Real Revocation
From OR Philosophy Built
Up Through Years of Hon
est Toll.
NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Mr. Mel
IN lon did the big bankers a good
turn by giving them chance to
put out $SOO,OOOOOO at 8 per cent
for twenty-four years.
1t was a double blessing, permit

Nobody but Uncle Sam can Dor
row money at per cent. Most
people can't borrow it at all. To
all practical intents and purposes,
big bankers have locked the vault

According to one authority, their
latest is to bar loans on character.
From now on, nothing goes but col

Human Needs First

CREDIT must keep in step with
~ these laws. Indeed, that is
about the only excuse for credit.
If life were to become a fixed, rou-
tine affair, if we were sure of using
the same appliances tomorrow that
we use today, of eating the same
kind of food and wearing the same
style of clothes, we wouldn't need
any credit.
Unless credit can be modified to
exploit new ideas, promote new en-
terprises and translate new imple-
ments into daily use, it is not serv-
ing its purpose.
Credit can not be isolated from
human needs.

DRAGONS Bones

THE story of the Picking Man.
l. Economically enough, begins
with dragons bones" At least,
that is what they were called in
China.
For a number of years museums,
both in Europe and America, had
secured fossils by purchasing from
Chinese druggists shops what were
known as dragons bones" Ac-
tually, these were fossils.
Some years ago Professor Max
Schlosser, a German scholar, called
attention to a fossilized tooth which
had been sent to him from Peking.
He said that the tooth seemed
midday between man and ape, and
suggested that it might have come
from man-like ape, or from an
early ape-like man.
The next important event in the
chain that led to the discovery of
the Picking Man, was the organiza-
ton Of the National Geographical
Survey of China.
DR.. V. K. Ting, the director Of the
survey, invited Professor j. Gunnar
Anderson. formerly director of the
Swedish Geological survey, to be-
come adviser to the Chinese sur
vey.
The chief function of the survey
was to obtain information of eco
nomic value concerning China's
mineral resources. But it was APP
parent to the scientists that this
meant starting with a thoroughgo-
ing geological survey.
In order to work out the geolo-
gy of the coal fields, for example,
it was necessary to make a thoroug,7
study of fossils. In 1920 the survey
obtained the aid of DR.. A. w. Ora
bau, formerly professor Of paleon-
tology at Columbia university, New
York.
