When They See Coolidge.
When We See Mars.
Miss Plotkin's Play. ;
What Men Are Worth.
I By Arthur Brisbane
(Copyright 1928 by Star Company)
President Coolidge has gone
to meet the head men of other
American republics, in Havana.
No more useful trip could have
been undertaken by an Ameri
can president.
'
There are differences in
temperament and type between
the blue-eyed man from Ver
mont and dark-eyed Latins
from South America. But men,
of all kinds, recognize each
other's intentions. When they
see and hear President Cool
idge, our neighbors will know
that he is not planning to take
anybody's land, or dominate
any country or government be
yond our boundaries.
