King or Deuce

King or Deuce
 Just in case you think Father" Riker'S guarantees are plain nuts I ask you to cast your eye over the platform suggestions made by the National Republican Builders, the Young Women's Republican Club of New York, The New York Young Republican Club etc., and the Young Republicans of Boston and suburbs. Father" Riker will then not seem 50 nutty. At least he guarantees something definite. If you are White and sane he will make you Q King or . Queen, or maybe one of each. Most alluring of all (if you happen to be as lazy as I aFil), he will see to 1t in time to come that you will not have to do any displeasing labor ious work. Tn comparison with these positive promises, backed mind you by S26,0O0 if you can find Q flaw in them or prove them un- workable, the glittering but not too glittering generalities of the platform desired by the Young Republicans, male and female, of New York and New England are as unappealing and iinimpressive as ditchwater. The demonstrator of Holy City, California, has at least something to offer. His East ern iinitatorS have only words, words, words. Who would not prefer to be a Riker King rather than Q Republican deuce.

 The major parts of the Carver plan are, according to MesSrS Pearson and Allen:--
 1. Easing or elimination of government regulation and re- straint on business.
 3. Reduction of the supply of labor by sterilization of Che "paI- pably unaw; widespread use of birth control; exclusion of all immigration; checks on mar rlage. Marriage would be barred until the parties could afford to buy and operate an automobile. '
 8. Organization of the "sub- stantial people of America" In Q national party to stamp out radicalisnn.
 1. Curtailment of unemploy- ment relief by forcing Idle off rolls by severe regulations"

Not Seneralities

It should not be inferred that all the suggestions made in the interest of Republican victory next November are as aimless and harmless as those proposed by the platform plank hewers to whom I had referred. There is another set advanced by the newly formed g.o.p. Brain Trust which merits studied attention. They were dis" closed in the April 30th issue of THE WATERBURY DEMOCRAT by Drew Pearson and Robert g. Allen in their Washington Merrys Go-Round column. If 1t were not for the fact that the Merry. .Qos Founders know what is going on and if they were not trained and informed correspondents, I cone fess I would have taken the news they provided with a grain of salt. But being what they arc and have ing seen no denial of the state. lnentS they made from those who, if they were untrue, would have been the first to issue Q denial, they should be accepted aa acc curate. reprint them here for the information of anyone who missed seeing them on the date of publication. The plan is Q substt- ute for the New Deal and is ale legged to be the work of Thomas Nixon Carver, professor emeritus of political economy of Harvard University.

IAa France

France, once more frighten-
ed by a heavily armed Germany,
anxiously looks for places to
tighten its defenses. 1t has
about $4,000 men in it's armies,
and could draw from reserve
of probably 100000 men who
have had military training.
Facing the German frontier,
France has a belt of steel and
concrete fortifications-the Ma
ginot line. But if and when
Germany strikes, more than
likely it will be through the air.
So France now is hurriedly
overhauling its air army.
France has military allies in
the Little Entente, which in
cludes Czechoslovakia, Rumania
and Yugoslavia. France has it's
pact with Russia, hangs tightly
to the League of Nations, and
is trying to polish the rusty
spots off it's old pact with Po-
land.
Most of all, France would
like to have Great Britain's sup
port in the next war. But every
time France has opened the
subject, thus far, Britain has
refused to commit itself. And
Italy is an uncertain neighbor,
apparently ready to fight any
one.
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1936-11-11
M Great Britain

Britain suddenly has become
war conscious. Even the slug
gish Baldwin government has
aroused itself to investigate
what many regard as real dan
gers to the empire.
The government is preparing
to spend more than half a sbll-
lion dollars for enlargement of
it's navy and creation of a
mighty air force. Observing the
power that has been developed
in continental air forces, Britain
at last realizes it can not re-
main in SOLITARY grandeur"
protected only by it's navy.
Proposed as a goal by the
cabinet is an air force with
plenty of machines for defense
purposes, but also with bomb
crs of such long range, terrific
speed, and huge bomb capacity
that they could inflict severe
punishment on any enemy.
The British lion is keeping an
especially wary eye on the
Mediterranean, where Italy has
pre-empted a large measure OF
authority adjacent to Britain's
"life-line" to the east; Belgium,
in renouncing its military ALI
ances. also has caused Worry.

Fl Germany

Under Adolf Hitler, Germany
is arming to the teeth. Already
it has more than $4,000 SOL
diers fully equipped with tanks
and heavy artillery.
In its labor camps and semi
military organizations, Germany
has a reserve of probably 81
100000 men. It's air force is
leaping to tremendous proper
tionS.
Basing his actions on alleged
fear of Soviet Russia, Hitler has
alarmed Europe with several
swift moves. March IL, 1885,
he proclaimed his intention of
building a vast air force. March
10, he rent the Versailles treaty
by declaring he would disregard
its military clauses lettering
Germany.
On May 2, frightened
France signed a military pact
with Russia, and on June Is,
Britain joined the armament
race through an accord with
Germany, restricting Germany's
navy to 35 per cent of the Brit
iSh navy.
Hitler has directed Germany's
re-entry into the war arena al
most single-handed, with the
help of only a small circle of
close advisers.

S Russia

On paper, Russia is the strong
est military power in the world.
Fearing an attack by Japan in
the Far East and by Germany
in the west, the Soviets have
built an army of about 1900,
900 men. The Communist chiefs
have placed their adequate mu-
nitions works far inland. out of
easy reach of hostile bombers.
The Red air force, one Of the
finest in the world, has astound-
ed foreign military observers by
carrying machine gun and light
artillery squadrons behind the
lines of a mythical enemy and
parachuting them to the ground.
The Russians claim a reserve
of about 100000 men, but
many Of these are only half
trained. The army is far better
clothed, provisioned, and armed
than Russian armies ever were
under the czars. Transport lines
also have been improved.
Added to these enormous
forces are the rapidly develop
ing factories and mines, which
are making the nation self-sup-
porting. Russia has declared it
will pick no qurrel, but has
served notice that it will fight
back if attacked.

Italy, under the dictatorship
of Mussolini, already has proved
itself a formidable military ma
ton. It's navy is new and pow
erful. It's army is completely
mechanical. Its air force is one
of the best in Europe.
But II Duce is not so sure Of
Hitler, with whom he sometimes
firts, and fears a clash with
England over power in the Med
iterranean and Africa. He has
declared himself in favor of an
earned peace" which threat
ems war with any nation which
steps on Italy's toes.
Recently, Mussolini announc-
ed another huge war program.
1t calls for 1900 munitions fac
tories to work 60 hours a week ;
new airdromes in northern
Italy, on the Adriatic and west
coasts Of Italy, and in Sicily
and Sardinia; more airplanes,
and more ships.
Mussolini boasts he can mo-
bilize 100000 men. But many
of these are not trained and
many could not be armed at
present. One thing is certain:
italy is far more powerful now
than in 1914. Bidding for
Italy's services will be high
when the next war breaks.
