Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
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.

the love song. ....
It was a touching little ballad, the
nurse explained, entitled. "My Love
for You," and she added that Hut
ton, singer by profession told her he
wrote It because of the Inspiration
she gave ,him. Afterward, she said,
she heard him sing it over the radio
for Almee.
Sang It at Party
"Now let's get down to the time
.when you say you attended a little
birthday party at Hut ton's .mother's
home. That was January 36, 1931,
and you had said it waa your birth
day as well aa his mother's, la not
that right?" .....
"Yes," she replied to Mark Jones,
Hutton'a lawyer.
"Then when Mrs. Hutton went out
to prepare lunch, you aay David led
you over to the piano and played and
sang a song which you claim he had
written for you?"
"Yes, as I remember, the title of
the song waa: 'My Love for Yon,' and
David said: 'Darling, you have In
spired me to write this song.'"
