The President puts the alrplane
first among attacking weapons that
'fixed Notifications" can no longer
resist, and expects all nations
wholly to eliminate from posses
sion and use weapons which make
possible successful attack"
Most important is the Presidents
suggestion that "all the nations en-
ter into a solemn, definite pact OF
nonaggression."
This message, In plain English,
no. mysterious "code," was sent
broadcast to the nations of the
world. including Soviet Russia.
And that, according to Senator
Borah, is an official recognition of
Russia. II so, 1t puts an end to a
ridiculous situation. bad for busi-
ness.
Hitler, through the ether, has
told the world what he and Ger
many want. He indorses what
President Roosevelt says about
peace, wants to see all nations rec
onciled, "but only on a basis of
equality" Those are the last words
of his speech. He warn other
countries that "red chaos" would
follow the outbreak of war in Eu-
rope and warns the allies, espe-
cially France, that Germany would
fight any attempt to "impose sane

marching troops into German terri
tory.
He says mo new European war
could possibly better In any way
the unsatisfactory conditions of to-
day" If Hitler means that, and If
other European nations have COM
non sense. there will be no war
for the present.
A bill to spend $1,000, LOOK, 1000 on
public works to help unemployment
Is sent to congress by President
Roosevelt.

Why not pay for the work with
new dollars and retire them, as
these self-liquldating" public works
supply the cash?
This country Is off the gold basis,
why not get off the nonsense basis
Of going through the motions of
borrowing and paying interest?
Some viii call that financial
heresy," but what of It?
Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller, IRIS
family, interested In encourage
ment of art, engaged a brilliant
Mexican, Diego Rivera, to paint
pictures on the walls Of a great
building OF Rockefeller Center.
Rivera believed In communism, but
that naturally did not prevent his
being employed.
But when Rivera painted Lenin
In a place Of honor On the Rookie
Teller wall, that seemed pushing

paid in full, dropped, and Lenin
was removed.
A naval board of inquiry finds an
error on the part of the commander
of the Akron partly responsible for
the airship's loss.
Perhaps President Roosevelt, as
commander In chief of the navy,
will change the Anticipated rule that
compels an alrship commander as
soon as he has learned something
about airships to change to a float
ing ship, and do a certain amount
Of "sea duty"
To continue a rule that classes
command of an aIrshlp with "shore
duty" Is a little too stupid. When
a man has learned how to command
a ship In the air, he should stay In
the air.
The stock exchange, which had
been drifting, was pleased with
President Roosevelt's peace mes
sage. Stocks went up from one to
five points. Brokers and spectators
remember what happened when the
other big war came and the stock
exchange closed.
The government decides that the
