THE SEATTI STAR Straining at a Gnat How true to form we do run! . The budget committee has just exactly halved the appropriation needed to find jobs for the jobless hungry. The unemployment conference which recently met in Washington asked that $400,- * 000 be set aside to felp men find work. Men like Samuel Gompers, Charley Schwab, Herbert Hoover, Mortimer Fleischacker and others, went on record as emphatically of the opinion that this amount should be set aside to help tide over the emergency.

You've read much about these © ratios of disarmament, disagree ment over which is delaying prog: ress at that international confer- ence at Washington, but have you considered the meaning of it? It is purely a matter of eco nomics—the lessening of tax bur- dens.

At the first peep of wur every nation would go to building warships, with the likelihood that dapan could build them as fast as the next fellow, if not a litile bit faster.
