AMERICANS DO NOT
YEARN FOR WAR-LIKE
SPLENDOR
To a very considerable extent,
President Roosevelt's disarmament
plea, made under the guns of 68
men-of-war in San Francisco Bay,
was overshadowed by news of the
scorching round-the-world flight by
Howard Hughes. This was one of.
the few occasions on which the
presidential knack for good timing
was defeated by the chance inter- j
vention of a more spectacular event.:
But now that Hughes' magnificent ,
flight has in turn been somewhat
blurred by the daring of Douglas
Corrigan, the California “wild Irish-
man'' who so casually hopped over
to Ireland in a dilapidated, 10-year-
old ship of the Lindbergh vintage,
It is worth while to turn back to the
President’s words at San Francisco.
He spoke in a strange place and in
•(range surroundings for a disarm-
ament talk The naval concentra-
tion spread out beneath him in San
Pi-ancisco Bay was one of the great-
est peace-time naval shows ever as-
sembled.
Yet, generally speaking, the Unit-
ed States paid no heed to this great
demonstration of might at sea.
When England crowned a king and
the Royal Navy paraded at Spit-
bead, a world watched and was duly
Impressed by the British fleet. Mus-
solini entertains Hitler and parades
his submarine and destroyer fleet,
end the publicity is tremendous.
Yet there was little notice of the
mighty U. S. fleet that lay strung
out in the San "Francisco roadstead
while ’its commander pleaded for
disarmament.

ence In a country whose every
schoolchild could have told you the
name and commanding officer of

•go is the best proof that the Presi-
dent is making no idle gesture when
he says that the American people
really wish they could be spending
lees on armaments than they do.
We quite definitely are not militar-
istic, and our great fleet and other
armaments result from the un-
doubted fact that we are faced, as

the President said, “with a condi-
tion—not a theory, and the condi-
tion is not of our choosing.”
After the World War, when the 1
United States had, in the water and
under construction, the greatest
fleet in the world, and certainly one
of the strongest military machines,
we gave them both up. disbanding
the army, and bob-tailing the fleet
for the sake of disarmament as en-
visioned at the Washington confer-
ence.
Russia, in making its startling
proposal a few years ago of complete
disarmament, has made the most
gallant gesture toward disarma-
mefit.
But no other country has actually
giveh up so much as the United
States, and it is well that the Presi-
dent keeps this principle in the
forefront ol national thought:
“What others will do to decrease the
arms burden, the United States will
do, and do gladly.”

The White House—
Symbol of America
A TOP-HATTED distinguished
company laid the cornerstone
of the White House on Oct. 13,
1792, 300th anniversary of the
(landing of Columbus in America.
But George Washington, who had
flrst visualized the site as the fu-
ture home of the government of
the nation, was unable to attend.
He missed a gala day, for the
White House was to be the city's
first public building. The design
of the White House proper and the
terraces is said to have been sug-
gested by that of the Duke of
Leinster’s palace in Dublin. It is
the classic style of architecture.
The exterior walls are built of
light gray Virginia sandstone and
were first painted white in the
course of reconstruction 'after the
fire in 1815,
Major L’Enfant, French engi-
neer and close friend of Washing-
ton, suggested the exact site of the
White House in his plan for the
•htire city, which Washington ap-
proved. Capt. James Hoban, an
Irishman of Charleston, S. C„ won
the $500 prize for the design and
under his direction the work was
carried out.
President and Mrs. John Adams
first occupied the White House in
{November, 1800. Chi Aug. $4,1814,
