am quite sure he was taken
aback by my appearance, because
I had been sleeping most of the
way from Dakar and did not
resemble even a panhandler along
Saville Row, much less a patron
of the shops of that street.
Fabulous People.
Mr.. Castle had been sent by
Johnny Schlesinger to meet me,
help me through customs, and
drive me to my hotel. The
Schlesingers are fabulous people
out here. They have more money
than six trained ponies could
jump over, but are as honest and
genuine as their father was years
ago when he came out from the
States to sell insurance.
They had checked my hotel
reservations. They had flowers
and all the other things that an
American wants in his room after
long trip. For what reason?
Only to be nice. I couldn't pos
sibly do the Schlesingers any
good, unless putting the bite on
them for a few pounds Is con-
sidered good.
Phil Reisman of RKO in New
York had cabled here to have his
brother Bert see what he could do
for us. Heaven knows. I'll never
make any money for RKO. I am
much too old to become a star
who would draw thousands to the
theater. Unless, that is, there are
a group of RKO fans who like to
see three chins in profile. But
Bert said If I wanted anything,
just let him know. Being q fellow
who wouldn't let chance like
that 60 by, I asked for three sure
winners at Germiston, the johann
nesburg track. And. if that was
too much, dead sure tip on the

Albania is being reinforced by

"Collectivism" Not Visible. -.
When you look about today, in
contrast to 1929, there is a
great difference in the condition
Of our people. And if there is
any "collectivism," it is not visi-
BILE to the naked eye. We still
have private enterprise and it is
hourishing as never before, with
profits at an all-time peak.
Mr.. Hoover is due credit for an
analysis OF Government spending
which points up factors often
overlooked. In a dramatic way he
treated the Federal budget. which
is $41, 1856, 900, 900 this year, and
Of which 76.5 per cent, or $751;
923. 000, 900. is for the cost of
past wars and protection against
future wars-military establish
ment, veterans care, public debt
interest and European Recovery
Program and other foreign aid.
Without using those figures. he
broke down the cost Of both Fed
eral and State and local govern
ment into the number Of days we
must work to pay taxes for it. a
total Of 81 yearly, Of which IS
go for obligations from former
wars, defense and the "cold war" i:
IL for other functions Of. Federal
Government and IA for State and
local government.
Since Mr.. Hoover has not quar-
relied seriously with the bulk Of
Government costs for defense,
veterans, cold war, his quarrel
must lie in this area Of domestic
Government services. He, like
others, does not specify what he
would eliminate here.

weapons away by thinking that
everything was ended. We used
all our forces to build up our
army.
1T is natural that If our army is
stronger the danger of attack is
less. The stronger our army is
the less the danger that any one
will attack us. Hence we must
have a strong army. We must
prepare ourselves. In the first few
years they screamed at us for
having q ,000-strong army be-

now over and we do not need one.
