BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. IS. (AP)
Senator Gerald P. Nye (R.. K. D.)
today asserted President Roosevelt fa
vored a big navy and added he be
lieved the president knew "least"
of anyone where a naval building
race with Japan would lead.
Addressing the Maryland branch of
the League of Nations Association,
Senator Nye. chairman of the special
senate committee Investigating the
munitions Industry, criticized the
president's tactics to "take the profits
out of war.
'There Isn't a nation on earth,"
the senator said, "that Is spending
more money than we are for war.
Instead of taking the lead to end
the navy-bulldlng race with Japan,
the president seems to be backing a
bleeer and bigger navy.
"No one knows where '.'hl race will
'leart us. and the man who I believe
knows least about It Is Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Using an article he wrote
as the basis for me assertion, he be
lieves that this talk of war with
Japan Is Just and I quote, "an appre
.dative habit of the mind.'
"But the race with Japan Is on and
will produce no good to any but mu
nitions makers."

Santa Clans this yeiir burrows lots of Ideas for his tov prick from big business and the "new deal." Above Is
shown one of the new doll houses with luxurious furnishings; many of them are built on the add -a room prin
ciple advocated In the government's home modernization program. Below Is seen the effects of streamlining
on youngsters' vehicles.
NEW YORK. (AP) What Santa,
Claus' pack will contain this year Is
Tom Thumb edition of big busi
ness.
Prom President Roosevelt to rail
road kings Saint Nick has borrowed
his new ideas from big time affairs
and, when the contents of his capa
cious sack rolls out Christmas morn
ing, the youngsters will be knee-deep
in miniature skyscrapers and stream
line trains. .
It's All Streamlined
Santa has streamlined his entire
pack velocipedes, coasters, scoot
ers, airplanes, automobiles and sleds.
Midget models copied from the new
est designs in speed record-breaking
trains tear around electrified tracks.
Baby walkers have streamlined bump
ers and new doll carriages look like
automobiles.
Electricity crackles from the whole
lot. Red and green lights gleam from
streamlined handle bars, doll houses
have electric door bells, any tiny
electric stoves and Irons are ready for
Miss 10-year-old's stocking.
Besides these there is an electric
questionnaire which works with a
series of pictures, plugs and wires to
answer any query from "Who
president 20 years ago?" to "Why is
your nose in the center of your
race?" (The toy folk say the grown
ups around the place have virtually
worn display sets out).
Add-a-Room Houses
k President Roosevelt's plea for home
modernisation and building has evi
dently given Santa a thought, for he
has slipped Into his pack add-aroom
doll houses, bungalows, garages and
farm sets. There are boxes of gay-
colored steel strips to build skyscrap
ers, ditch diggers, derricks and ce
ment mixers and bright wooden
blocks to fashion libraries, stores and
houses.
Even the dolls have a dash and
chic which seem to hint better times.
Their figures are plumper, their curls
arranged Into windswept bobs and
lacquered coiffures and their ward
robes complete, with outfits for danc
ing, swimming, skiing or skating, ri
val that of a lady of fashion.
Luxurious Furniture, Too
Those same dolls have most luxu
rious furniture. Tiny overstouffed di
vans and chairs, magazine racks, ra
dio cabinets, cedar chests and twin
beds are all ready for their houses.
. And when It comes to amusing
toys to while away a stray half hour
there are all the tricks which have
made Santa Claus' pack a Joy to chil
dren for centuries. Dancing dolls,
musical tops, Humpty Dumpty on
sticks and merry-go-rounds whirl in
new colors and ways.
The Increased cost of living in
Prance during the last year is "re
ported to have - diverted numerous
American tourists to other countries
in Europe.
Forty-one cents out of each dollar
In the steel industry goes for wages,
says the American Iron and Steel Institute.
The world's largest wine vat. con
structed recently at Bad Duerkheim.
Germany, has staves 40 feet in
length which were made from Black
Forest pines originally 05 to 130 feet
high.

FROM MENm pORD
We expect to announce our new 1935 cars, and have
them in dealers' showrooms where you may see and
examine them, on Saturday, December 29th. The
cars are coming off the line now and distribution
. will soon commence.
I have never been very much in favor of the custom
of yearly models. Good motor cars do not become
obsolete simply because the calendar turns a leaf.
Our former custom was to put improvements on our
cars as soon as we developed and tested them, so that
: there was continuous refinement and progress. The
custom of introducing new models annually is
justified when they are really new, and not merely
equipped with, new talking points for the purposes
of salesmanship.
Last year's Ford V-8 was a good car, the best we
had built up to that time. We don't say to a cus
tomer with a last year's car that his car is out of date.
If it is giving him service, and if he is not in the
market for a new car, there is no reason for him to
feel that he is behind the procession. He still drives
the fundamentally latest thing in cars. The new car
has all the qualities and advantages of last year's car,
with something added. ,
The improvements we offer are not experimental in
any sense; they were thorpughly tried out under every
conceivable circumstance before we finally adopted
them. That, in fact, is our job all the year 'round
refining, improving, making new balance of quali
ties, always adhering closely to our principle of con
tinuous growth in the basic purpose of the Ford car.
The 1935 V-8 engine is practically the same engine
we built in 1934, because we have not learned how to
build a better one. It has, however, some refinements;
amongst which are the coppcr-lcad connecting rod
bearings, and the new type of crankcase ventilation.
Most of the improvements concern the riding qual
ities of the car. There is now more comfort both in
driving the car and riding in it and it was always a
very comfortable car to drive. This year we have paid
particular attention to the comfort of the back seat
rider. The rear seat is now forward of the rear axle, so
that all passengers ride between the axles. With the new
flexible springs, this gives what has been aptly describ
ed as "a front seat ride for the back seat passengers."
Besides, it has permitted changes in the design of the
body which have resulted in those lines of beauty so
much in favor with automobile owners today.
We have always had three fundamentals Dura
bility, Economy of operation and maintenance, and
Comfort. Safety, of course, is taken for granted. The
durability is just what it always was; no one needs
to be told at this late day that Fords are built to last.
The economy is even greater than before an 8-cyl-indcr
engine with the economy of a four. As to com
fort, however, there has been a very considerable ad
vance, as I think you will agree when you have tried
the car ou
We built more than 20,000,000 cars previous to
the V-8. We have built 1,300,000 V-8 cars. The V-8,
we believe, is the proper engine for the low-price
car field, which is our field.
This 1935 car will be on display December 29th,
with all details ready for your information. It is
entirely probable that some of our prices will be
lower than in 1934. We want them lower because
we expect to build a million cars and better next
year, and the price must be right. If the price is right,
people will buy; men will go back to work; a thou
sand related businesses will feel the new impulse. At
least, we are trying to make 1935 a busier, happier
and more hopeful year.
