Silver Choir Sounds
Many Sour Notes

maintains public appearance
of harmony. but a phonetic

The inside reason is the boys are
spending so much time watching each
other these days that they do not
mind their music.
At heart, these siluerttes are all
SoloiStS.
Each thinks he knoUs as much
or more than the leader, and each
wants to sing his own song.
The result is bad silver music, but

DEADL0CKS CAUSE
ARMS SCRAMBLE
German and Japa-
nese Situations Spur
Rearmament.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, May IA scramble for
increased arms strength has been
given impetus, say observers of the
world armament picture, by the
Franco-German deadlock and Japan S
Far Eastern policies.
Reports continue to come into
Geneva from world capitals of added
activity to increase military power.
The failure OF France and Germany
to reach an agreement on ornaments
has proved the major stumbling block
to an accord on disarmament in Eu-
rope, While Japan'S intentions in
Eastern Asia have aroused anxiety
among leaders in many lands.
Two Nations Decrease Army.
A survey conducted in authoritative
quarters has revealed that only two
nations. Switzerland and Great Brit
ain, show decrease in army strength,
and Britain, while she has a smaller
army, has increased her sea and air
forces.
Suspicious have thrived throughout
Europe with the building up of armed
forces. These suspicious and uneasi-
ness are reflected IN various spy
ecares, especially in France.
The survey on arms strength shows
the following:
France-Increased her fighting force
within the last three years by 65,oo0
though employing civilians to co work
formerly assigned to soldiers.
Gelmany-Increased her 1884 army
and navy budget from S268 100000 to
about S358,000,000 ard her aviation
budget from S28,000000 to S84000,000
Russia-Increased her armies from
$4,000 to $4,000 since 1882.
Japan-Increased land. naval and
air forces by 100000 to 456000 since
1881.
Italy-Added 5000 to her armed
forces, chiefly through air and naval
branch increases.
Poland-Raised her army from
100000 to 34l,000

commission is experienced and equip
ped for the work and because it
would save the Government annually
approximately half million dollars.
1t has been estimated that the added
expense of a new commission, over
and above what it would cost the
Government to administer the stock
exchange law through the Trade
Commission, would be S50O,000. This
would be an annual extra charge
upon the Government, and over a
long course Of years, would amount
to very large sum.
The Trade Commission has an ex-
pert staff already experienced in mat
ters closely related to many of the
duties that will devolve upon the
agency which administers the new
stock exchange bill. 1t has, of course,
already been administering the securi-
ties act and continues to do so now.
When it comes to figuring out what
the additional cost to the Govern
ment would be it is clear that a new
commission would have to maintain
secretarial and administrative or
ganization substantially as large as
that now employed by the Trade
Commission. 1t would have to or
ganize a legal staff. as well as an
economic and a statistical bureau
These the Trade Commission already
has. If the Trade Commission was
given the work of administering the
stock exchange bill, it could by small
additions to these bureaus and its
legal staff carry on. The Trade Com
mission has large field organization
which could be employed in investiga-
ton work outside of Washington. A
new commission would have to create
such an organization.
Roughly speaking it is estimated
tASt a new commission would cost
the Government over and above what
the administration of the new law
would cost under the Trade Commis-
sion, for administration, S275.000; for
statistical analysis and research, SIS
600: for legal staff. $4,000; research
in stock exchange and general credit
conditions. 100000, making a total
of $500,000.

they failed very largely. Indeed. the

Not only is there war between

Tugwell on the Spot.

Prof Tugwell's pals have an idea
that Mr.. Roosevelt put him on the
spot by nominating him as Under
Agriculture Secretary at this time.
Mr.. Roosevelt intended it as a COM
pliment. but did not plan it to meet
the current situation. Months ago
the job of Undersecretary was cre-
ated in the Agriculture Department
appropriation bill especially for Tug
well.

nomination comes up for Senate
debate.
After that, the Senate will approve
the nomination.
What burns the conservative Sena-
tor Glass is that all these in1ationary
and silver schemes are tackled to his
bills, so they really bear his name.
Virtually all such schemes in the last
year have been written into Glass
bills, over his protest from the floor
of the Senate.

The sour undertones were first
noticeable backstage several months
ago, when Senator Key Pittman was
supposed to be the silver leader
Pittman ranked high at the White
House. In fact, too high to please
the silverites. They kept the matter
to themselves, but organized a move
ment designed to take the silver baton
away from Pittman.
Senators Thomas and Wheeler then
became the silver leaders unofficially
and they still are. To keep peace in
the choir, however, they went through
the motions of choosing Senator King
as the official leader He was sup
posed to be a peacemaker, The peace
he brought was only temporary.
Within the last few days all the
boys have been cycling each other
with suspicious again that there are
some hacksliders in their midst who
may be slipping into the White House
py the side door.
None Can Think Alike.
The boys are all Democrats. so they
may not fall out openly. Yet the
underlying situation is important be-
cause 1t illustrates the fact no two
people think exactly alike on the sill
yer question, or even on imitation.
The recent threat OF siluer tili-
buster 1UdS Huey Longs idea. Con-
t'nuous and purposeless talking
comes easy for Huey, but most OF
the others thought that method OF
fighting Mr.. RooScrelt Uould be
going a little too jar. They could
not see that it Uould accomplish
anything outside OF giuing Long an
opportunity to speak inde efnitely.
The filibuster threat really was a
confession of weakness. If the boys
had the votes, they would not be talk
ing that way.
The wiser heads among them have
realized for some time that they can
not get any more than Mr.. Roosevelt
intends to give them.
Tip Off Silver List.
The White House apparently took
delight in tipping off privately the
identity of those on the lists of silver
spectators.
The list contained so many dummy
names that those who inspected them
at the Senate could not identity most
of the silver buyers. An underground
channel from the Executive Mansion
soon brought suggestions as to where
certain names could be found anc
identified properly.
One slip occurred. In eruberdnce
the tip UdS passed along that Frank
Vdnderltp, 1r., tCdS on the list.
But his name could not be founc
that day. The tip came a day toe
soon. His name was on the list
submitted to the Senate the follow
ing day.

teen years. We were in the street
with one little baby and another
on the road. I was showed from
one of my husbands people to the
other, penniless and i'll, and how
my mother rejoiced in my sad
plight She tried to cause me to
lose all my friends. She lied by
note on my good husband and
slandered him far and near.
Now dear friend of mine who
has become rich during all these
years and knows the truth, offers
us a home in California to take
care of her in her old days. She
is 10. But my mother is i'll and
homeless. Now should I go to my
mother in her hour of need, or go
to a real friend for my children's
sake? I need a home badly. If I
go to mother she will be the same
old enemy, only not able to strike
at me.
When I see the lovely brides in

things their mothers do for them,
I realize all I've missed. Girls who

hearing your mothers side of the
story. I do not doubt that she
disliked you from the bitterness of
your reaction against her, but I
can not tell how much of it, if
any, was your fault.
You've had tough time, and it
has given you sick attitude
toward mothers from which you
need to recover. Your letter re-
veals the poignant regret which
all of us feel at the realization
that we are grown up people who
must stand on our own two legs
without the loving protection of
some one stronger and wiser.
You endow the relation of
mother and daughter with too
much sentimentality. The love Of
a mother easily can become the
subtlest sort of slavery. Whether
you know it or not you are better
off than the woman who never
has been able to break her emo
tional dependence on mother.
Your trip to California strikes
me as a journey in search of a
mother substitute who will pro-
vide the necessities of life in ex-
change for the loving care of a
daughter substitute. For this rea-
son I am not sure that it is a
good move to make since it would
hold you to the infantile pattern
which you so need to break.
If you are dependent on your
husbands people, or your Cali
fornia friend, I don't see what you
can do for your mother, even if
she is helpless. No matter how
much you would like to do some
thing for her you can't unless you
work. If her plight pushes you to
independent effort, she will have
done you her first good turn.
I hope you won't feel that my
remarks are without sympathy.
since any child who feels unwant-

Before you make a bid, visualize
what the play may be, and of course
the same thing holds true on de-
Tense. Review the bidding and
picture just what is apt to happen
what the distribution is. Let us

Now, when West bids two hearts

say, We'll, I will lay down the
king of diamonds and have a look
at the board. But. you would
not do that if you had reviewed

He has bid diamonds, and from
the bidding on the part of East

he at least holds the ace of dia-

Therefore, you say to yourself,
