Beverly Hills-Well all I know is
just what read in the papers. ia
pan pounced on China. She has
had China cut off from her hole
for long time, like a cat does a
rat and just says, 3I'll nab you
when you make a run for it."
China is in pretty bad shape
fighting amongst herself at home,
and this Manchuria is a mighty
valuable piece of territory and will
make mighty nice reperations af-
ter the thing is over. You know
you often hear it said that nobody
got anything after the war. But
what about the German Colonies?
You don't see England or France
or any of those giving any up do
you? Germany imagine would
mortgage quite a lot to pay for
them back. That's one of the rea-
sons that she is up against it, she
hasent got those Colonies to trans
fer trade and raw material. China
is so big and the names are so
much alike that its hard to tell
where she is fighting at.
Then England kicked up a mess
a week or ten days ago when they
did something about their Gold. 7
don't know what it was, but it Gre
ated a lot of ink at the time. It
looks like the world is on a Gold
Standard but only two have got any
gold. Us and France, and if things
keep on like they have there wont
be any use in there.
You see France is getting every
thing, for they went to work the
day they got back from the War,
and the rest of the Nations went
on spree, so France got back to
normal when the guns stopped
shooting, and we are just getting
back, but we haven't been normal
in SO long that we don't recognize
it since we got there.
This finance business has got the
big boys worried as much as the
little ones that haven't got any of
it. Here we talk about high taxes.
Say, England can show you some
taxes, they are getting what we will
get if this unemployment keeps
up, and it should be that way, there
is lots of people able to pay yet
overe here before the government
starts in to do it itself. That was
what Mr.. Hoover was doing out in
Detroit telling the American Lee
gion not to start asking for aid
again. You see, he believes in the
people helping themselves right up
to the time that not possible, then
the government will help.
Now there is lot to be said for
his plan. There is certainly
enough wealth to do it. But getting
it away from the ones that have
it is another thing. When you
rely on just voluntary giving you
put quite hardship on the free
giver. He will give till it hurts,
while a man of perhaps much laPg-
er resources will give very little.
So it looks like they got to get at
this relief thing through taxation
on large incomes. But that will all
be fixed at the next session of Con-
gress, as five hundred Congressman
and 100 Senators will all have
schemes to remedy everything
from depression to protruding
Adam Apples. It will take two
years to just read all the bills that
will be introduced when the Leg
islative Capones meet.
Well I don't know if I told you
or not about Ma Kennedy going
and playing a return date with
swhat-a-man." We was all in the
midst of a lot of excitement out
here, when Ma climbs right up on
the most protruding rock over
Boulder Dam and just took What
a-Man for better or for worse till
another wife do them part. I never
did get down to Sister Aimee's
show I was telling you about, but
they all told me It was mighty fine.
We are dragging along about as
usual out here, raise lots to eat and
its cheap, and its warm, we don't
need much heat, and it looks like
if the worst comes to the worst we
