A Slap Killed the Baby

A Slap Killed the Baby
Thanks to Mussollni. who knows
how to get things done, Great Brit
ain, France, Germany and Italy
agree not to fight each other for
ten years, which means, perhaps,
"ten years of peace In Europe" In
addition to not fighting each other,
they will try to keep lesser nations
from fighting.
The United States, praise heaven.
is left out of 1t. We have no idea
of fighting any of those four ma
tions, or any other, anywhere on
the globe. Why should statesmen,
including some of our own, try to
drag this country In?
An American correspondent In
Berlin mentioned that "a double
murderer In Torgau prison was ex-
ecuted by the medieval method of
beheadlng with ak and block. The
executloner was attired in the GUS
tomary full evening dress and
swung the huge az"
MFR. Hltler's censor would not let
the dispatch go, because of the word
medieval"
What would you call 1t, II not
medieval" to make a man put on
"full evening Dress" stiff shirt, white
necktie, "swallow-tailed' coat, be-
fore chopping off a criminals head2
II 1t is not medieval" 1t Is certain
ly gruesome comic opera.
The secretary of the treasury
asks the public to subscribe to
000,000,0O0 worth of government
notes, to meet the cost of public
works program.
How will the contractors and
workers on that program be paId2
They will be paid with money print
ed and backed by the United States
government.
Why not print the money and pay
1t to them, instead of borrowing It,
and then paying interest on 1t?
The money, with the government
name on 1t, Is exactly as good as
the bond or note with the govern
ment name. Why insist on putting
out bonds or notes TO make taxpay-
ers pay billions In interest?
II the government borrOws S3,000,-
100000, and takes 20 years to pay.
the interest will amount to S6,0O0,-
000,000 In other words, S3,O000O0,-
600 worth of work will cost $1,000
100000, $3,0O0,OOO,0OO for the work,
and $6,000,000,000 for interest.
Mrs. N. Y. w. of California was
walked by her crying baby, Alex.
Drowsy. she slapped 1t. It became
quiet. went to sleep again. In the
morning she found 1t dead, and is
arrested on a manslaughter charge.
The child had died from a cere-
bral hemorrhage, caused by slaps
on Its thin skull.
Parents, even semi-civilIzed, should
know enough not to whip any child,
and to strike an infant Is horrible.
Japan, standing apart, In the
East, with plenty of good fighting
men. airplanes and submarines,
says exactly what she thinks, and
doesn't think much of the London
navy pact.
Japan will not agree to the sug-
gestion that explosive bombs from
the air In wartime be abolished.
The mikado feels that as long as
western nations have carriers that
can bring planes across the ocean
and unload near Tokyo, Japan must
be ready to meet those carriers.
Baron Edouard de Rothschild Of
Paris Is worried about Socialism,
particularly state Socialism, which
builds publicly-owned railroads to
compete with Baron R0thschild's
great, private French railroad, the
Chemin de fer du Nord, called "the
richest railroad In France"
Some American limitations Of
Baron Rothschild are also worried
about state Socialism," and the
dreadful suggestion that the peo-
pie Of the United States who built
and paid for the Muscle Shoals pow
er plant, may actually use 1t for
themselves, instead of letting prl-
vate individuals exploit 1t.
Francesca Angelo, well named, an
italian naval officer, who established
