SUCCESS AT GENEVA? '
A survey of national armaments these days gives scant
reason for- anyone to .hope that the approaching Geneva
conference will he successful. Far from preparing- for arma
ment reduction, the major poweis seem to be almost unani
mous in their determination to increase their strength. A
glance around the arena, for instance, shows such phenomena
as the following:
France has built a' great chain of frontier forts and has
increased her army by 65,000 men.
Germany .has boosted her army and navv budget from
$208,000,000 to ?358,0OO,00O. . .....
Russia has increased her army by more than 100,000 men.
Japane has added somewhere between 100,000 and 400,000
men to her armed forces in three years.
Italy has added 43,000 men to her navy and her air force;
Poland has increased her forces by 61,000 men; Poland, Bel
gium and Czechoslovakia are spending huge sums on forts;
England, Japan and the United States are working fast to
build up their navies. .; ...... i...
This certainly is not a picture of a world getting ready for
a long era of peace and co-operation.
The nations of .the world seem to see trouble ahead; and
they., see trouble because there are in the world today in
numerable situations which cry aloud for settlement Polish
corridor and trade wars, disputed territory in, Manchuria and
in Silesia and along the Adriatic and heaven knows where else
oppressed national minorities, onerous treaties, and so on.
It ought to be clear by this time that inviting the nations to
disarm without first setting straight these causes of trouble
is futile. The armament race is a dangerous and distressing
thing, but it has certain definite and obvious causes. Before
it can be stopped, there must le intelligent and far-sighted
action to set the fundamentals straight.

the observation that wheat produc

Asks Congress To

Congress, if we remember aright, wna going to adjourn In April. Then
It wns to be In May. Now It Is June and we have something more than a
Hint suspicion hnt the wna tor in I boys and congressional boys and girls
won't be leaving Washington until It gets too hot, cllmatlcaily, lot them
to stay there comfortably.
There has been pome tal& of the bonus army marching on Washington
again. It might be ft good Idea. The bonus boys might induce congress
to quit trying to tave tho country and go home long enough to give the
country an opportunity to save iutelf. .Caldwell (Ida. (News-Tribune,

Another was that the president has
consented to a summer furlough for
Prank C. Walker, chairman of the
national emergency council, but has
asked him to return to his govern
ment post In the fall. Mr. Roosevelt
also said he would send a message
to congress very soon relating to the
controversial war debts issue.
In a letter to Chairman Logan of
the senate mines committee and
Chairman Ray burn of the house In
terstate commerce committee, the
president asserted that Illegal pro
duction of oil is threatening the
structure of the newly organized oil
production control system.
President Roosevelt expects the
NRA to evolve through constant
changes, but he Is giving no public
consideration to the Darrow report
condemning alleged monopolistic
practices under tlie program. The
president will stand by the Blue Eagle
of NRA for the second year of its
emergency flight, -and has told In-
quircrs he Is keeping an open mind
on Just how far the government
should go a year hence In seeking a
permanent arrangement between the
government. Industry and labor. He
plans to survey the results in his tour
across the country this summer.
The opposition faction on Capitol
Hill, however, showed no signs today
of relaxing Its criticism. - i

"Early in the winter the making of

It. And the record of over 3,000.000
Chevrolet Six ownen removes any
shadow of doubt about it: The only
way to get real economy in a low

SIX cylinders no morel because
extra cylinders mean extra cost for
gas, oil, upkeep and parts. OVER
HEAD valves nothing else for the
same good reason that airplanes use
them. And speedboats. And racing
