London's better hat shops were

The Prince, in his character

fact that such a hat has not
been worn in England since
before the war.
Furthermore, it was an old

worn on his South American

were to accept payment of half
of our remaining bonus debt,

lief to many Of our men but In
another year or two, there
would be another bonus march

the proposed amendment would
bring only partial relief to men
long out Of work and deeply in

However, the acceptance or
rejection Of this, or any other
such proposal, must come from

enormous saving in cost Of new

Of naval vessels. 1t would also
save large amounts in the Oper-
ating expense in all nations of
land, sea and air forces. 1t
would greatly reduce offensive
strength compared to defense

"These proposals are simple
and direct. They call upon all

two functions. One is the main.
tenance Of internal order in con.
nectiOn with the regular peace

strength required for this Dor.
pose has been called the "de-
tense component" While it is
not suggested that these differ

arated, it is necessary to con-
slider this contention as to func.
hOns in proposing a practical
plan Of reduction in land forces.

Sailles and the other peace
treaties, the armies of Germany,
Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria
were reduced to q size deemed
appropriate for the maintenance

Il propose there should be a
reduction Of One-third in the

abolition Of all offensive weapons,
such as tanks, all chemical war
fare, and all large mobile guns.
He proposed the abolition Of all
bombing planes.
All naval tonnage would be re-
duced by one-third, under the
plan. But no nation would be
permitted to retain more than
$4,000 tons of submarines.
The proposals, it was said in
White House circles, have re-
ceived the approval of the Sec
retaries of State, War, and Navy
and of the chief of staff of the
Army, chief of the Bureau of
Naval Operations. and OF the
American delegation to the Dis
armament Conference.
U. S. Army Unaffected
The United States. it was said;
does not propose to act alone,
but only upon the acceptance of
these proposals by all other i'm
portant military and naval
powers.
The land forces of this country
would not be affected by the
cuts, since the American Army,
including all Reserves and the
National Guard, is now below the
strength proposed for European
armies, on the basis of popula-
ton, in the Hoover program.
Acceptance of the program
would mean a cut in the paper
strength of naval tonnage allotted
the United States under the
Washington and London treaties,
but not in the actual tonnage
afloat, it was said.
Navy Below Treaty
The American Navy has never
been built up to treaty strength
since the Washington conference
World acceptance of the Hoover
program, it was stated, would
save the United States large ex-
penditures on a building program
required to bring the American
Navy up to treaty strength.
It is calculated the program
would not interfere with naval
construction at present on the
ways, and would not affect naval
personnel for some time to come.

"The time has come when
we should adopt some broad
and definite method of reduc-
ing the overwhelming burden
of armament which now lies
upon the tOiIers of the world.
This would be the most i'm
pOrtant world step that could
be taken to expedite economy
recovery. We must make head
way against the mutual fear
and friction arising out of war
armament which kill human
confidence ughOut the
world.
1--WE can still remain practi-
cal in maintaining an adequate
self-defenSe among all nations;
we can add to the assurances
Of peace, and yet save the peO-
pie of the world from 10 to Is
billions of wasted dollars dur
ing the next 10 years.
Il propose that the following
principles should be our guide:
First: The Kellogg BRAND
pact, to which we are all sig.
natOries can only mean that
the nations of the world have
agreed that they will use their
arms solely for defense.
MUST BE REAL
Second: This red u ctiOn
should be carried out not only
by broad general cuts in arma-
ments, but by increasing the
comparative power of defense
through decreases in the power
of the attack.
Third: The armamentS of
the world have grown up in
general mutual relation TO each
other. And, generally, such
relatively should be preserved
in making reductions.
Fourth: The reductions
must be real and positive.
They must effect economic re-
lief.
Fifth: There are three prob
lens to deal with-land forces,
air forces, and naval forces.
They are all interconnected.
No part Of the proposals which
1 make can be disaSSOciated
one from the other"
AS TO LAND FORCES
BASED on these principles,
1 propose that the arms of the
world should be reduced by
nearly One-third.
Land forces. In order to
reduce the offensive character
of all land forces as dis
tinguished from their defense
character, 1 propose the adOp-
tiOn of the presentation al
ready made at the Geneva
conference for the abolition of
all tanks, all chemical warfare
and all large mobile guns.
This would not prevent the

SENATE ANGRY
At JOKER" IN
RELIEF BILL
Charged Farm Board Would
"CraWI Out of Hole" With
Money From Treasury

Bitter debate ragged in the
Senate today after it was re-
vealed that the purpose .lurk-
ing behind the $4O,OO0,OOO agri-
cultural appropriation in the
$1,000, 100000 Wagner relief
bill was to help the Federal
Farm Board dispose Of its sur
plus wheat.
Senator eileen (R) of Illinois
denounced the appropriation as
an effort to feed the starving
people of Europe with money
from the United States Treasury.
The provision was denounced
by Senator Norris CR.) of Ne.
braSka, who declared it was de.
signed to "help the Farm Board
crawl out Of the hole"
Senator Norbeck (RO of South
Dakota, asserted that the people
Of the United States could not
consume all the surplus wheat.
He said:
"The size of the American
stomach is the same as It was
before the depression" Glenn
retOrted:
But there are more empty
StOmachS than ever before"
II heard . Chicago school
teacher testify yesterday that
thousands and thousands of
children in the city schools
come to school every day hum
cry and half clad.
"Why not provide that they
consume this surplus wheat
rather than send 1t to Europe
to feed the starving there at
the expense Of our Govern.
ment?"
A new avenue of relief for Chi
cago's school teachers was opened
today when Senator Harrison
CD, of Mississippi, decided to re-
offer an amendment to the Wag-
ner bill authorizing loans by the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion to States for educational and
hospital purposes.
Under this proposal, money
could be loaned to the State of
Illinois and it in turn could loan
money to Chicago.
The proposal Of the Roosevelt
senatorial bloc" to Submerge the
prohibition issue by confiping the
Democratic platform declaration
to reSubmiSSion had suffered a
series of rude shocks today.
Although this movement on the
part Of the Roosevelt forces was
carried on vigorously among Sen
atorS who may be members of the
platform committee, they had less
hope of avoiding a showdown on
repeal in the convention.
Roosevelt Camp Stirred
The announcement of Speaker
John N. Garner, a formidable
candidate for the Democratic
nomination, that he favors repeal,
created a stir among the Roose-
velt forces here.
Declarations by friends of for
mer Gov. Alfred E. Smith that
they will demand a showdown on
prohibition cast further dismay
in the ranks of those who hoped
to "Soft-pedal" the issue at Chi
cago.
1t was reported on high author
ity that Roosevelt is agreeable to
a resubmission plank.
The New York governor was
by a close friend to have
taken a position two years ago
somewhat akin to the Republican
prohibition remedy.
He is against the Eighteenth
but believes that re-
peal should be accompanied by a
against the saloon.
Senatorial comment on Speaker
Garner's announcement disclosed
a belief that a majority Of the
Democratic delegates will favor
repeal. This view was reinforced
by Senator FeSS (R0 Of Ohio,
who retired as chairman Of the
Republican National Committee.
He flatly predicted that the
Democratic convention would be
for repeal.

Even from the first they have

But this thing is.
And now another incredible,

The answer is simple, Lords

They need no food. They have
only their men. And so-they
come.
