PRESIDENT HOOVER ssy to the world at large: "Let cut our expenditures tor armament at least a third, and thua 5vo In tha next ten years from ten to fifteen BILLION dollars that otherwise will go to pay for some thing wa don't really want." . THEN he adds, In substance: "If we will refrain from spend ing this huge aum for aomethlng we don't want, we wlU HAVE It to apend for aomethlng we DO WANT." It sounds Ukee. good proposition, doesn't It? WHAT DOES the world want? Well, In this writer's Judgment, the common, ordinary, everyday peo ple of the world want stable busi ness conditions and employment at good wagea. so that they may get for themselvea a fair and reasonable share of the good things of life. They can't have these things if too much of their money has to be taken away from them In order to pay for extravagantly costly prepara tions for war. SUPPOSE you live In a block with half a doien other famillea and that all of you have some money you would like to go down town ana spend for new clothes and food ana tickets to the movies and perhaps a new chair for the house. But you CANT, for you are all suspicious of each other, and each of you feara that some dark night one of the others msy go on a ram y' page and break down your door and come in and murder you in your beds. So you feel that you are compelled to spend your money for .locks .for your doors snd guns and ammuni tion In order to be In. a position to repel such an attack. you wouldn't be very happy under such circumstances, would you? NOW suppose that one of your neighbors, wiser than the rest, calls you all together some day ana says: "Look here, boys: we're all bank rupting ourselves buying guns and ammunition to protect ourselves against each, other, spending so much for these things we don't wsnt 'that we haven't money enough left to Buy the things we DO want. So let's out out at least a third of what we're spending for guns and ammu nition. . "If each of ua will do that we'U all be Just as well off aa before In the way of protection, and with the money we aave we can buy a lot of things we've been wanting ana haven't been able to afford." THAT la exactly what President Hoover la proposing to the na tlona of the world, and If nation, hid anything like as much sense as lndivldusls his proposition' would be accepted IMMEDIATELY.
