Nobody has escaped the friend who lunches up to

It's in the air these days.
Who WAS this guy Confucius, and what did he real
ly say?
Five hundred years before the birth of Christ, a giant
of a man lived and taught in China a reverent group OF
pupils. He was Kungfu-tze. Latinizng his name, foreign
ers called him Confucius. Until very recently, for nearly
$500 years, his wise and lofty, yet simple PHILOSOPHERS
dominated the life of the Chinese millions.
Let's take a look at some of the "Confucius say -"
cracks that are going the rounds these days, and also a
few lown-in-the-bottl observations that Confucius really
made. 25OO Years ago.

Gillette Suggests League
Of American Nations
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa suggested today the forma-
ton of a League of American Ma
tions" to coordinate defenses in
this hemisphere.
The good neighbor" policy of the
Roosevelt administration, he told re-
porters, provides too loose an as
sociation to be of tangible military
benefit to Western Hemisphere ma
tions.
Senator Austin, Republican, of
Vermont said that while he wanted
mo permanent alliances with any
body" he favored temporary alli-
ances among nations when these
were dictated by common interests
and common dangers"
Consultations under the good
neighbor policy probably are not
sufficient at this juncture," Senator
Austin asserted. "A temporary un-
derstanding for the common defense
and protection of this hemisphere
would be preferable"
