1t is a move to put 200 men into
the field to work with Chamber

Reason for the huSh-hush is
that FILA wants no deluge of job
seekers for the new posts. Their

plications to fill the 200 jobs fifty
times over.
Instead, they want to parcel the

The chief complaint that Wall

What they really mean is that
the brokerage business is dull and
they believe it is due to the lack

the right kind of ballyhoo was
conducted.

What viii Britain Say?

A NUMBER of crucial questions remain to be
L n answered:
l. Now that Germany, by an audaclous stroke,
has seized the right to equality and announced
her intention to build up to, or beyond it, what VIII
be her price for returning to Geneva?
O. Until Britain received her terrific scare over
the discovery that Germany was in position to wipe
out London from the air, she openly sympathized
with the Nazi demands for equality OF armamentS'
If Herr Hitler offers Sir John guarantees covering
aerial ornaments, what will be Brltsins next move?
Will she still stand by France, the Soviet Union and
Italy?
8 Should Herr Hitler promise Sir John to return
to the League and the disarmament conference on
a basis of accepted arms equality, what would Sir
John reply? And again what would FRANCE Italy
and the Soviet Union do?
T. Will the determined efforts of Herr Hitler to
lure Britain away from the British French-Soviet-
Italian bloc prove successful? If what effect Will
the breach in the ring around Germany have on the
other three?
These and similar interrogation points will have
to be changed into periods before this country takes
any definite stand

and the permanent national labor
board proposed in the Wagner
Labor Relations bill.
Neither the sponsors of these
measures, the committees in
charge of them, nor the President,
as far as can be learned, agree
with Miss Perkins that she should
boss so much of the social re-
form machinery.
A S proposed in Congress, the
L n social security board and the
new labor board would be indie
pendent agencies, attached to no
existing department. Miss Per-
kinS is rather determined, in her
New England manner, on this
subject.
And so is Congress. Senator
Robert F. Wagner Cd, N. " has
no intention of letting the labor
board become a wing of the La
Dor Department. Likewise the
men on the House Ways and
Means Committee have rejected
her advice on social security adj
ministration. But now they are
up against another lady, and this
time she is colleague.
Before House leaders knew what
was happening, the charming and
diSarming Mrs. Greenway had in
duced "a members to sign petit
ton for party caucus to discuss
bringing out a separate bill for
old-age pensionS-leaving to a
later measure the unemployment
insurance and annuity features
now included in the omnibus bill.
This was in direct conflict with
President Roosevelt's plans. Ac-
cordingly, House leaders got busy
and persuaded Mrs. Greenway to
withhold her petition until the
Ways and Means Committee re-
ports its bill to the House.
THE congresswoman indig-
Il nantly denied she was trying
to wreck the social security pro-
gram. Significant perhaps are re-
ports that she is under pressure
from her state for the Townsend
old-age pension plan, which is so
distasteful to the Administration.
But Mrs. Greenway would shed
no light on these reports today.
Neither would she state her posi-
ton on the Townsend plan.
The Ways and Means Commit
tee intends to report the security
program next week. The Senate
is waiting on the House.
Some doubt about its enactment
at this session exists unless the
President gels behind it in earnest.

Officially, Mr.. Hartman has the
title of executive officer, and as
such is nominally subordinate to
the NRA board, by whom he. was
appointed.
Actually, he is the whole works.
Few outside the inner group Of
NRA executives know it, but Mr..
Hartman hiss been presiding over
NRA board meetings for some
time. With the retirement of
Chairman S. Clay Williams his
grip on the Blue Eagle doubled.
Shy and ill-at-ease in public,
Mr.. Hartman assiduously courts
the Observation-Disclosures, pri-
vately. he would like to be sum-
moned before the Senate Finance
Committee, whose members know
nothing about him.
But everything that tranSpires
in the NRA passes over Mr.. Harri-
mans desk.
And when it comes to speak
ing for the Blue Eagle, it is Mr..
Hartman who does the talking.
Every afternoon at 2:30 he holds
a press conference.
Mr.. Hartman likes to consider
himself a liberal, but his theories
of what should be done about the
NRA have a decided pro-induS-
trial slant.
AT one of his press conferences
Mr.. Hartman proposed that the
NRA should be rewritten to elm
mate the famous collective bar

Believe Path Will Appear

WASHINGTON is hoping for break which Will
w nave the way to an arms limitation agreement.
1t hesitates to press the point now however lest 1t
become involved in a fundamentally European
quarrel Washington is probably more gehulnely
alarmed than it has been since the armlstlce.
Should Sir John Simons visit to Berlin result
in British neutrality, France Russia and perhaps
Italv would deem it tantamount to betrayal. With
Britain and Poland neutral and Japan armed TO
attack Russia in the Far East, Russia would con-
slider her position precarious and would still further
arm herself accordingly.
A triple alliance of the Soviet Union, France and
Italy would likely follow boStered up by Frances
ties with the Little Entente (Rumania Czechoslo-
vakia and Yugoslavia)
Because the alternatives all seem so fraught with
danger some of the best informed diplomats here
believe way may be found for new world arms

More Humble About Our

At the moment, many people are

religion, says Lloyd G. Douglas in
Cosmopolitan. I'm my opinion, the
confessed bewilderment of the
churches is a sign of health and
progress. The recent use of the soft
pedal has made the prophet Of more
value to the people. They sense an
intellectual kinship with the honest
man who admits he is bit at loss
to know exactly where we are.
editors who were used to saying
the last word necessary for the ade-
quate instruction Of their constitu-
ents are writing in phrases tempered
by a new shyness. Statesmen, teach
ers, parents, even half-grown chill
dren are no longer laying down their
beliefs with bang. We are all be-
coming humble about our opinions.
This is the type Of kinship we have
needed more seriously than any 9TH

that we may find our peace"

Why and for What
Are We Living?
Historian Advises We Stop
and Ponder on What
It's All About.

perhaps it would be good idea,
fantastic as 1t sounds, to muffle every
telephone, stop every motor and halt
all activity for an hour some day, to
give people chance to ponder for
few minutes on what it is all about,
why they are living, and what they
really want"
The historian, James Truslow
Adams, is the author of those words
believe they are great words, which
should be passed on to every one
who can read them. So says a wom-
an writer of note.
To ponder on what it's all about,
why we are living, and what we
really want!
If every one of us periodically had
an opportunity, or were led by cir.
cumstances, such as complete stop
ping for certain time of all activity,
to stop and give thought Of that kind,
what might not be the result?
1t might solve all our problems
1t might bring US happiness.
Are not all our problems questions
of human relationships of one kind
or another-of our standing with
other people on the road we are 30
hectically travelling? If we were to
stop and think then on what 1t Is all
about, wouldn't that larger view In
evitably take in the other persons
side as well as ours-and so help to
solve those problems in personal re-
lationship? If we were to stop and
think on why or for what we are
living-wouldn't that inevitably make
many big things seem too small to
bother us, many neglected but easily
salvaged things important enough to
cherish and be grateful for? II we
were to stop and think on what we
really want, where we are going.
wouldn't we inevitably stop short in
the hectic chase and try skipping for

Preparations

BEFORE you take any prepara-
- ton you don't know all about,
for the relief of headaches; or the
pains of rheumatism, neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about it in comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-called pain" remedies were adj
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery Of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands Of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year
n and out without i'll effect, have
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fastest
methods yet discopered for the relief
OF headaches and all common pains
-. and safe for the average person
to take regularly.
You can get real Bayer Aspirin at
any drug store - simply by never
asking for it by the name aspirin
alone, but always saying BAYER
ASPIRIN when you buy.
