tackle.
An opposite school of thought holds
that an overly well-prepared nation
tends to become truclent; thus to get
into trouble, due to it's own excess of
confidence in itself.
Pre-World War Germany is the
classic example of a country which
was too we'll armed for it's own good.
Pacifistic China is the classic exam
pie of a country which has been per-
sistently picked on" because under
armed.
Both propositions are arguable-ar-
guable to a tie, in short.
sNOt Wars"
More recently. Senator Gerald p
Nye of North Dakota launched his
movement to maintain American neu-
trality in the event of warfare between
or among any two or more foreign
powers.
He made out so convincing a case
that Congress passed his law, requir-
ing the President to discontinue, in
effect, American relations with any
two or more foreign countries which
might declare hostilities between or
among themselves.
Since then there have been three
foreign wars:
L. Italy against Ethiopia.
2. Civil war in Spain.
8. Japan's war against China.
But they were not "declared" wars.
They were unofficial. Technically,
they were not wars.
Consequently the Nye act did not
fit them.
President Roosevelt might, indeed
have proclaimed that Estates of war
actually existed, and proceeded &C
cordingly-but he did not see fit to do
so.
Nye-ites blame him. Others COM
mend him.
Again, both points are arguable.
"Anti-War" Amendment.
Now comes Representative Louis
Ludlow of Indiana with a constitu-
tional amendment, to require a ma
tional referendum before the United
States can take a hand in foreign
war;
Hitherto only Congress has had the
authority to declare war on Uncle
Sans behalf.
The president has been able to
create situations which left Congress
no alternative but to declare war, but
he himself could, not do it. AS for the
public, it had no veto power.
Ludlow seeks to put the question up
to the public.
But it takes a constitutional amend
want To amend tho Constitution calls
for a two-thirds congressional vote
and three-quarters of the state legisla-
tures.s
It will be a hard, long-drawn-out
amendment to get adopted.

S10-S30 RENTALS
IS HOUSING NEED

NEW YORK. Dec. IA GN.sJ.
The housing industry today faced
the perplexing task Of building
two million homes to rent for $40
to $50 a month.
A report on the housing mar
ket, made public today by the Rt.
Rev. Mgr. John A. Ryan, chair
man Of the National Housing Com
mittee, found an acute need for
this number Of houses, in the field
Of homes costing less than 5000.
In the first nationwide study of
the housing situation, as affected
by changes in income since 1929,
the committee found no shortage
Of houses renting for more than
$50 q month.
It found, in an exhaustive study,
the greatest income gains occurred
in the $1,000 to $4,000 annually
groups. Some SO per cent Of the
housing market, the report said, is
for dwelling units costing less
than $1,000"
Nearly three-fourths of our
shortags occurs in the $10-$20
groups, where laos, 799 units are
required. The third group. paying
$20-$3O monthly rent, shows a
435, $40 unit shortage" the report
reads.

STOCK MARKET.
STEADIES after
SHAKY OPENING
Profit Taking Reduces
Modest Gains
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Dec. IA QN.S).
The stock market became firmer
today after a dull and irregular
start, leaders regaining a point or
so Of yesterdays / to 5 point re-
action. Gains were cut later.
However, movements were
robbed Of their significance by
the extremely limited volume Of
trading. Pivotal stocks moved
within a range Of little more
than a point.
ADVANCES REDUCED
Mixed tendencies predominated
in initial dealings, but the trend
was upward through the remain
der of the first hour. When gains
had reached a point or more in
the leaders, light profit-taking
made its appearance and adj
vances were reduced appreciably.
Steels, coppers, aviations and
rail equipments were pacemakers
on the modest recovery. Rails
and oils also were generally above
previous closing levels.
U. s. Steel and Bethlehem each
were up more than point at one
time. Similar gains, at their tops,
were shown by Chrysler in the
motors, American Smelling in the
coppers, Owens-Illinois Glass, Pull
man in the rail equipments, Doug
las, Boeing and United Aircraft in
the aviations, Sears, Roebuck in
the mail orders, American Tobacco
