Washington, August 1-Gen- insignificant talking while on the Pacific coast that failed to be reported.
 His words, just echoing back to official Washington, have aroused a new wave of specula- tion about Johnson's retirement.
 The unrecorded observation was made in the course of speech before the Pacific Adver- Using Clubs convention in Port land, Ore. It was not contained in copies of the address given to the press.
 This is what Johnson said:
 II am starving to death. I've money for myself"
 FACTS
 What is causing significance to be attached to this statement are the following facts:
 1. This is the first time in months that Johnson, either pri- vately or publicly, has admitted
  Heretofore any suggestion that he was planning to get out in variably was met with bellicose denial.
 ?. The remark was made few days after Johnson admitted he had recommended to the president that a board be estab- lished to rule the NRA.
 5. This decision by Johnson followed four days of secret con- lferring between him and his former boss, Barney Baruch, who cancelled a vacation trip to be with his old friend.
 For some months Barney has been privately urging Johnson to retire from the Blue Eagle roost. Baruch also is given credit for being the author of the MIRA ute for Johnson.
 UnqucstionabIy the silver hair cd Wall street operator has more influence with Johnson than any other single individual; and if BaruCh advises the general to go, he probably will.

Rome Letter
By THOMAS B. MORGAN Limited Press Stan Correspondent

l
 Rome (UP)-Tho annual sum- mer exodus from the cities of thousands of children of the work ing classes to mountain or seaside colonies" has taken on this year something of the nature of rite.
 The children, who come from respectable, but poor families, are sent away from the big cities in their thousands, the municipality and the Fascist orga niZations pay ing most of the expense.
 The departure of the children from the pig cities like Rome, Milan and Turin, has developed into public celebration. The high est city authorities including the prefect, the podesta or Mayor, are present to godspeed the children as they entrain and one or two repre- sentatives of the government near | ly always are present. Military bands, and cordons of blackshirts give the scene solemnity that must make foreigners wonder why so much ceremony is given to the departure of some thousands of children for their summer vaca- tion.
 The thing is done Intentionally and as part of the demographic policy of Fascism. that Is, to honor childhood and the young genera tion from which all is to be hoped. Paens of praise of children and the young are to be read in the press in these days when the scholars travel away to shore or mountain lake for their months holiday.
 At any rate, i tis admitted on all sides that these Fascist sum- mer conlonics for the children are an admirable heating giving insti- tuition and tend, as they are meant to, to improve the race.
 While the summer colony idea is organized by the various local branches of the Fascist party, an- other important organization, the Opera Nazionale Maternita e In- fanzia (the National Infancy and Maternity lnstitution) takes care of all young Italians from their birth up to IS. This institution is self-confessedly political body. whose object is to maintain the health and strength of the Italian race for the future political eco- homie and, if necessary, military grandeur of Italy.
 All young Italians up to IS can claim its protection and helD. The

Selected Poem

Beatrice Holman in The Christian Science
 Montor) I remember the sting of the spray And the light on the waves, And the deep, cool day; I remember the smell of the rain, And the close fog
 And the languor
 Of lying at anchor; I remember the wash on the deck, . And the swift sailing And the wind, wailing; remember the stirring of day In the far haven. And the great cliffs
 And thousand skiffs. NJw the sky is my sea, And the fields are shores.
 No sails drift on
 From dawn to dawn: But some wild day, winds will blow Northeast clouds to rain Tn my face: And the sea will come To this strange place.

If people ever get to the point where they can actually secure universal peace, we wonder what will become of the munl- tion makers of the states. It is book talk today that if complete records were com- piled of every war in the last hundred years it would be revealed that the big munition makers, the big steel men, etc, were responsible for the conflicts. It's terrible indictment yet can be so easily proved in many cases. It's business to sell big guns, ammunition, materials for them, etc. And if thousands die con- sciences seem to be easily salved.
