A Sensible Proposal
New York World TelegramJ

| wv" 1OIk WOTlQ- leleRrdmD
There is sense in the Hoover arms
reduction plan.
Mr.. Hoover specifies the amount
of reduction (about one-third of ex-
listing military and naval strength
and proposes to accomplish reduc-
ton according to the scale set fol-
the German army after the war
roughly, 100000 troops for $4,000 00C
population, the troops to be used for
internal duty.
The absolute necessity for some
such definite and comprehensive pro-
gram is as obvious as daylight. The
world lies under a burden of war cas-
ualties, mental physical and eco
nomic, that disgraces its leaders.
The Hoover plan provides start
ing point that even statesmen in IN
ternational conclave should need nc
experts" to interpret.
Accomplishment is, admittedly, not
as simple as exposition. but the
American proposal provides a basis
for this-the German scale.
The Hoover plan is minimum and
in no way radical when measured by
the little sacrifice involved in its ma
terial realization. The United States
army would not be affected, as the
proposed cut is a reduction over and
above the normal requirements for
policing" the country.
AS for the navy, the plan would re-
quire actual cuts in the battleship
and submarine program. whereas
some cruiser building might be nee
essary.
Even so, sensible step toward dis
armament is offered.
There are two ways of approaching
disarmament. One is the evasive and
diplomatic budgetary met hod by
which investment in arms is reduced
This is unsatisfactory and imprac-
teal because reductions are usually
so small as to influence the poten-
TALLY of war not at all.
The second is the direct scrapping
method.
Disarmament is not, as statesmen
incline to believe, process of men,
tai contortion wholly divorced from
reality. 1t is as realistic as the appli-
cation of an acetylene torch to the
steel of dismantled battleship.
This was the method used to dis
arm Germany. True, Germany had
enemies sufficiently determined in
their attitude to disarm her by force
But the situation is not without an
alogy here.
Civilization has an enemy more po-
tent and impressive than vengefu
allies confronting defeated Germany
That enemy is war, and it is not only
capable of creating unimaginable
havoc if permitted to rise again but
We have learned that it is capable OF
destroying the world at stroke.
The Hoover plan seems to recog.
nize the reality of this situation anc
seeks to promote realistic concep.
ton of it among the statesmen upor
whom We have thus far unfortunately
had to depend for intelligence ane
relief. They are here given a def.
mite program, proposition which
should stop their mumbling behinc
closed doors and bring them out ir
the open.
BY their attitude toward the fun
damentals Of this proposal the worlc
may discover upon whose hand
blood shall next be found.

Newspaper
Land of Contradictions

The observation that Russia is a
land of contradictions seems justified
by information contained in The
Moscow Daily News, English news
paper printed in the capital of So
Wet Russia, which recently was re-
ceived at The Tribune office.
This newspaper, like the Economic
Review of the Soviet Union, may be
printed largely with a view to ac-
quainting American readers with
happenings in Russia and its infor-
nation may be open to question as
to whether or not it is propaganda.
One item in the publication, how
ever, is Illuminating. 1t says:
THE Moscow markets have as yet
taken no steps to make room for col
lective farm trade, as is shown by an
investigation made by the Depart
ment of Trade.
Investigations made on the Doro-
gonilov, Arbat, Butirsk, and Suk-
harev markets revealed that no COL
lective farm trade has so far devel-
oped. No special booths have as yet
been opened. The few collective
farmers who bring their goods are
surrounded by spectators who buy
up all products and resell at higher
prices.
when asked why there is no COL
lective farm trade on the premises
the director of the Arbat Market de-
clared that in general, there will be
no collective farm trade on this mar
ket as this is not proletarian dis
trict.' But although the Dorogomi-
Low Market is in proletarian dis
trlct, things there seem to be in the
same state as on the Arbat Market.
The collective farmer who brings his
wares is left to his own devices.
AT the Central Market a few
booths have been assigned for COL
lective farmers, but, strange to say,
the booths are occupied exclusively
by ordinary dealers. The dry goods
store opened in that market to serve
collective farmers is not functioning.
On the Proletarian Market, Prole-
tarsky District, the Consumers Co.
operative adopted a scheme of its
own, which is certainly not conducive
to extensive development of collec-
tive farm trade. For example, it
purchases products from collective
farmers at prices below market value,
and resells them with an extra
charge of II per cent.
/ THE Department of Trade has
taken steps to eliminate Immediately
the obstacles confronting collective
farmers in the development of extern
sive trade on Moscow markets"
Most Americans had assumed that
the iron hand of Joseph Stain con-
trolled everything in Russia, that the
state was all powerful and all indi-
vidual initiative had vanished. In
stead of that we find reference to
spectators and to the mulcting OF
the farmers by disorganized mar
/ keting system. This will be real news
to good many persons who had just
| about come to the conclusion that
the Russian system is better than our
own.

Roberta, il, has been elected to the
Magic Club of England.
Fulton Oursler, author and editor,

Pop" Warner To Quit Stanford?
By JOHN A. cIUNEY

Inhabitants of the collegiate football world will, no doubt, ex- perience a bit of surprise if Glenn Scobey Warner, second only to the great Rockne as a football coach transfers his allegiance from Stan ford to Temple within the next week or two. Considerable secrecy seems to be attached to the matter, Warner himself refusing to confirm or deny the persistent rumors that have flooded the California campus for two weeks, and Stanford au- thorities taking the expected step by saying, in effect, there's noth- ing to it." Yet, San Francisco paper. in a copyrighted article to- day says it has learned that the next Warner shift will be from California to Philadelphia. Per- haps, Pop wants to make a great team from 8 small college, such as Chick Meehan is trying to do at Manhattan. After all, they seem to have some preference that they would rather be big frogs in a small pond, that minnows in the ocean.

It's a Natural"

With George Blake behind him as his manager and second you can wager all the clocks in Thomaston that Fidel LaBarba will make one grand stab for the worlds feather weight title Friday night at the Garden. The bout will constitute the third meeting of the pair, and it may not be so hot from a slug ging standpoint, though their last two clashes were worthy of nota- tion, but whatever exchanges there will be, should be good. Fighting for the title, it is up to LaBarba to convincingly defeat Chocolate to lift the crown. Both have slipped somewhat and this number will show which man has skidded the most. Chocolate is supposed to be a playboy. but he is still a great little fighter, and it will take super class and punching power to beat him, with his crown at stake. At least no one can accuse him of picking anything soft in his first defense of the title he won from Lew Feldman a few months ago.
