News Behind the News
= Billions for Armament

WASHINGTON-A mythical two and a half
billion dollar armament program for the United
states next year is the subject OF Washingtons
most persistent recent rumor.
There are several versions of the tale, all of
which insist that Roosevelt whispered to this
man or that one that an armament boom was
his rabbit-in-the-hat for curing the present
business recession
The facts are that the President is big
navy man, that he already has decided on a
policy of having an American navy second TO
none that he would like to build up the navy
rapidly and probably would try TO do Just that
if there were no deterring factors
But he and hke-minded men in the admin
istration realize that the American people won't
support huge naval program unless they feel
there's imminent danger of war.
And the immediate plans for "shot IN the
arm" for business are confined to proposals for
stimulating private housing boom.
The President himself doesn't believe there is
going to be big war in Europe, at least not in
the near future. But he has urged Americans
not to imagine that the western hemisphere can
escape in any worldwide conflagration
Meanwhile, America can't afford to take
chances in his view, because no one really can
tell what's going to happen in the international
field FDR. and many others here are i'm
pressed by the spectacle of England, who found
herself insufficiently armed to keep the Fascist
powers from showing her around
Naz and Fascist penetration into South
America especially in Brazil, has given Roose-
velt and Secretary Hull real headache and
enters into considerations as to naval .bulldlng.
AT the time of Roosevelts Chicago speech
it had been decided that this country ought to
go almost any distance in cooperation with Eng
land and France to curb japanese aggression in
China short of war This attitude has been
toned down considerably as result first, of an
unenthusiastic reaction to the Presidents speech
in this country, and, second, discovery at Brus-
sells that Britain felt in conciliatory mood
toward Japan.
The British position is still the key to the
international situation and British unwillingness
to act sternly anywhere should have been no
surprise to the State Department.
Word was quietly conveyed TO the State De-
partmerh long ago that his majesty's govern
ment would try to take no strong role on the
international stage until 1t felt rearmament had
reached the point where England could clear
up the Mediterranean situation" situation
which involves Italian Vaccinations in Egypt,
Palestine, Arabia and other Mediterranean areas.
British attitude, as understood here, has been
that England could placate Hitler and either
beat or frighten Mussoln into subordination.
How this idea will really work out or what may
happen in the meantime is anybodys guess,
large group OF other uncertainties have
combined to make Roosevelts big navy, be-
ready-for- anything attitude increasingly more
popular in Washington.

In discussing Consumers Co-operatives' be-

Association of Insurance Agents, Bert E. Mitcher
of Hutchinson, Kansas, said in part:
We are fighting for vastly more than our own
business. We are fighting for the continuance
of the American way of doing business. Any
sort of collectivism eventually eliminates the
individual. Under the promise of more abun-
dant life or easier way, the individual surren-
ders his freedom. He becomes part of the
group. He loses his identity and individual rights
Because he is part OF the group he must act
with the group and be subject to orders from
leaders OF the group. More and more he is told
what to do and when TO do it. Gradually he is
more and more dependent on the group. In
this state he is regimented in his thinking, his
habits and his living Individuality and freedom
have vanished

Aside from sunny individual rooms
there is rest room with comfort
able divans and chairs. And there
is a library and music room where
the radio and late phonograph re-
cords may be heard.
All is made so pleasant that
many of the servants do not care
to leave, even on their evenings
off There is one imposing castle
north of the 90's on Park that not
only has its own dining room but
also separate cook and mattresses
who serve the help.
With the growing reluctance of
many to enter domestic service,
new homes are making especial
| gestures toward servant comfort
There is very little in the way of
living ease denied. Indeed as things
are. such servants have fewer wor-
ries than employers.
Adolphe Menjou surprised his
New York friends recently by his
physical appearance. For time he
looked as though he might be play
ing hockey from graveyard. AS
the result of a stomach malady he
had become shriveled, sallow and
wan. So much so that only the art
of the makeup made it possible
for him to be screened. About a
year ago he underwent an abdomi-
nal operation which was successful.
Since he has taken on 80 pounds in
weight, the bloom has returned to
his cheeks, his eyes are bright and
sparkling and is step has the dash
of the cavalier roles he so often
portrays. For several years he lived
on bran, graham crackers and sips
of tepid water. Today he can tear
into a five-inch steak with trim
mings and do right well by it.
Gertrude Lawrence is one of the

There are now pending in the
remedy this situation. introduced
by Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin
and Senator Capper of Kansas,
these bills call for constitutional
amendment which would put any
declaration of war up to a nation
wide referendum for ratification.
Unless a majority of the people
voted for war war could not be
declared.
The only exception would be in
case of invasion by a foreign pow

Jump to arms IN case the United
States is invaded or threatened
with INVASION" says Senator Cap
per. But when it comes to war
overseas, the American people be-
lieve they have the right to pass
on their participation in such
wars, and agree"
And says Senator LaF'ollette:
"I believe that if the American
people are competent to elect con-
gressmen and senator's to make
such a tremendous decision, they
are equally competent to arrive at
the decision themselves"
1t is pretty hard to find any
flaws in that sort of logic. 4
Early action on one or the other
of these two bills would be ad-
visable. The danger of new
world war sees to be getting great

guard to which the American peo-
pie are entitled-the right to say
for themselves whether they shall
send armies to fight overseas. The
machinery to give them that right
might as well be put in motion at

Peculiar Psychology

John L. Lewis, whose dreams of die
tatorship over labor are slipping as
fast as an inexperienced ice skater,
scars to new height of eloquent alb
surdity when he tells conference of
furniture workers that congress is to
blame for business recession because it
has not given sufficient thought to chow
Americans can be given the right to
work
What Mr.. Lewis has in mind seems
to be this: man would walk into
factory, present a union card and say,
81 want to go to work. Then, whether
there was job or not, whether the fac
tory was making or losing money, he
would go to work. The question would
cease to be whether there were any jobs
open; it would become, "does anybody
want job?"
We cannot help thinking that Mr..
Lewis and his friends would get farther
by saying to industry, to congress and
to the nation, I'VE want to help. We
want what is due us, but we do not want
to hurt ourselves and others by getting
it in the wrong way. Let's work this
