Changeless

With every nation in the
world off the gold standard, ex-
cept two or three, gold has
never been so desirable to gov
ernments or peoples, for the
truth is we are never off the
gold standard, except in the
most technical sense. Gold re-
mains today, as it has been for
10000 years, the one and only
virtually changeless standard OF
values.
The passion to win gold, to
hoard it, has been the under
lying force of history through
out the ages. The power Of
gold, that and the love of
women, have built up the king
doms of the earth and thrown
them down in ruins. Lust for
gold and the power it Yields

Resumption of normal diplo-
matte relations with Russia,
after a break that lasted 16
years, leaves Ell Salvador and
Cuba as the only two for
eign governments now in power
which have not yet been recog-
nized by the United States.
Refusal to recognize the gov
eminent Of Ell Salvador is due
to the fact that the president
now in power, Gen. MaXimiliano
H. Martinez, seized control of
the government by force Of
arms on March /, 1881.
Because the Central American
republics during the Secretary
ship of State of Mr.. Hughes
signed a treaty which pledges
them not to recognize a Cen

So you go on, hoping and de-

going one step ahead, falling

And in the meantime, you go

you think it should be.
BUT REAL LIFE IS NEVER

Real life doesn't come in

answers.
Real life is a PROCESS, not
a PLOT. It's a. process Of
growth-and growth never
starts, never finishers. Growth
just goes on and on, in and
out of masses, in and out OF
success. Real life is never sat-
isfled or settled. It is always
restless, always disconnected.
always rebellious, always curl
Gus, always lonely.
These men and women whom
you admire on the screen are
exactly like the rest of us-in
real life. Mae West doesn't al
ways stand 'em-up-and-knock-
'em-down with a gorgeous CUR
gle. Here's guessing that many
a time she goes off and has a
good hard cry and wonders
why life's picking on her.
Walter and George don't al
ways have those steely eyes.
They're probably as fussy and
fretty as any other male before
they've had their morning
shave and coffee. And I'll bet
my best earring that Wally can
be the World Champion Pouter
if the Misses interrupts when
he's telling his Best Story.
In Real Life, they're all Steady
and Settled and Sure. But in
Real Life, they're just muddled,
messy mortals like the rest of
us, my dear. For human life
is always like that, whether we
be rich or poor, famous or OBJ

AND LET'S BE GLAD 1T IS!
A plots a swell thing to see
on a screen; it would be the
helluva thing to live! Life may
be an aimless adventure, but
there's always another chance.
We may not get anywhere, but
we're always on the go. Can't

we can't - but who wants a

Complications

AS was pointed out by Mr..
StimSon several years before he
became Secretary of State:
"Such a mutual covenant not
to recognize revolutionary
government did not get at the
root Of the evil. So long as the
custom of government-cOntrOlIed
elections continue, revolution Of
fered the only means of depOS-
ing the party in control of the
government. Under existing con-
ditiOnS, revolution was an essen
tiaI part of tie system, and to
forbid revolution simply tended
to perpetuate the power of the
party or individual who hap
pened to be in control Of the
government"
Mr.. Stimson was writing of
Nicaragua when he said this,
but his observations apply with
equal force % the other repub-
lies Of Central America.
Now would be an excellent
time, in the opinion of more
than one sympathetic student Of
Latin American affairs, for Presi-
dent Roosevelt to restore tradi-
tional American policy by eX-
tending recognition to the gov
eminent now in power at Ell
Salvador on terms as liberal as
those on which normal relations
with Russia have just been re-
sumed.
AS for Cuba, the situation in
Havana is of much more import
ance to this country. 1t is also
more difficult to handle. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is believed to be
extremely DESTROYS of finding
reasons that will warrant his
recognition of the government
at Havana headed by President
Grau San Martin before Con-
gress reconvenes on the third
day of the New Year.

has been recognized before Con-
gress comes into session, there

If President Roosevelt and

could be extended as a Christ

Here we have representatives from the great
