LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

Lady Astor-Greta Carlo and
Hoover Cabinet.
For keeping happy and cur.
ing our cuSSedness is OUR
OWN PERSONAL JOB. And
no one and nothing. save our
own selves and our own per-
sonal efforts. can do it for us.
Love is a great thing.
But Life is a greater.
And you'll still have to live
your own life and solve your
own problems, even though you
have found the most perfect
love. Love will help you with
that job, but not half as much
as you thought, in the first
dizzy throes of romance. Even
the most perfect love cannot
penetrate the secret places OF
your heart. Regardless of your
chosen companion, you will
ALWAYS be lonely, you will
ALWAYS be bewildered and
restless and dissatisfied. Some
secret part Of you will continue
to reach out, wanting something
different, wanting something
more, after you're married as
well as before. For these are
the inevitable conditions Of life
of growth-and love can't
cure them.
Loves Big Problem
Love can SERVE life, but love
can't SOLVE life nor SETTLE
life.
Why are husbands and wives
bound to be disappointing?
That's why. We expect too
much of them and of marriage.
Our romantic tradition has as
sured us that they will iron out
all our personal difficulties and
make life a rosey dream. Then,
when they don't, and can't, we
feel. that we've been cheated
and that marriage is a failure.
What's the secret of mar
riage? To get along with the
other fellow? To find the one
right man or woman with
whom you can get along? No.
THE SECRET OF MARRIAGE
IS TO BE ABLE TO GET
ALONG WITH YOURSELF
AND CONSUME YOUR OWN
SMOKE.

Repres entative LaGuardia,

the President has usurped au-
thority which belongs to Con-
gress, and reminds us that
while Congress was still N ses-
sion both the President and
Senator Smoot we're very stiff
in their determination that the
debt payments to us should not
be suspended. This is common
knowledge.
But it appears from the
cables from Berlin that PreSi-
dent Hindenburg learned some
time ago" of the Presidents
intentions; and this gives those
who care about such things the
opportunity to say that the
President reserved his action
until the Congressional recess
to seize credit for himself per"

policy of holding ourselves aloof
from the pressing problems OF
the world is certain to have a
salutary effect in its revival OF
hope and confidence.
It even carries the possibility
of a discovery in Washington
that the economic health Of the
world cannot be bettered by the
building of insurmountable bar
riers against international
trade.
Democrats Not
Opposing Plan
Meanwhile, there is nothing
to indicate the injection OF
politics into the prospects here.
There has been no expression
from responsible Democratic
leadership in Congress indica-
tive of the slightest disposition
to oppose the plan.
Strangely enough, the only
partisan note thus far heard
comes from London in this
amazing statement:
"It also dullS the edge Of
the desire that America might
have a new administration
deal, putting the other party
in power in Washington"
The least said to inject the
idea of party advantage into
a question having no party
significance the better it will
be when Congress meets.
Reasons for Attitude
of France
The one threat to the plan
comes from France, where
there has been no enthusiastic
response. There are various
reasons for her attitude-not
least of these being the domi-
nation of the nation still by
war psychology.
The adoption Of the plan
means a shortage for the year
in France of $4,000, 0,000-and
she does not like that.
There is a possibility that
Germany may not be in position
to resume reparation payments
in a year, and France wants to
know what the United States
is going to do in that event.
And rightly or wrongly,
France has persuaded herself
that Germany is ready now
for a great industrial revival.
Just why France should look
upon an industrial revival in
Germany with alarm is not
clear, since with a prosperous
Germany she may ultimately
collect her $2,6O0,00O,O00, and
with a Germany economically
ruined she manifestly cannot.
