Own Strength
Continued from page 1
prevent enemy lodgments at least
to the bulge of South America It
notes with alarm that we are not
getting them
It doubts whether we are ever go-
ing to get them or buy for ourselves
anything more than a mares nest
of dangers and trouble if we dont
put the pressure on to get them and
recognize that we are doing it as an
absolute necessity for our own dc
fense and without much it any re
Hance on the loyalty strength or
friendship of any country south of
the Rio Grande
UNIVERSAL TRAINING
As an illustration of snap judg-
ments in the highest places Is the
Presidents approval after having
read only the first paragraph of
a New York Times editorial saying
The time has come when In the
interest of self protection the Amer
ican people should at once adopt a
national system of universal com-
pulsory military training
Later on the editorial said
Wc believe that it should be so
drafted as to provide training not
only for young men but for older
men as well
So do I but in 1918 wc had regis
tered for or actually In military
service 25 348 000 men between the
ages of 18 and 45 Since then our
population has Increased 30 per cent
Presumably we now have at least
33 000 000 in that class
Setting out to train 33 000000 men
would be absurd and preposterous
Of course many of these would be
exempted by reason of physical dis
ability or dependency of others or
by reason of industrial necessity
The number is impossible to com
pute until we know the liberality or
strictness of ihc exemption rules
If we decided to trdln nil the classes
that were in 1013 classified as fit and
eventually liable to military service
the taMl woud be more thin 10 000
000
Obviously tho writer of that cdi
tonal did not mean universil com
pulsorj military training It would
be destructive impracticable

Barrymorc in The Great rrofile
at Twentieth CenturyFox Adolphe
Mcnjou was engaged for It Then
Barrymorcs plans changed he took
the part and Mcnjou took his sal-
ary as the studio had no other pic-
ture ready for him
Rod Cameron a young six foot
Canadian went to Los Angeles a
year ago to learn the dime store
business That didn t work out

Death brought him his frst role
that of Corporal Underhill in
Cecil B DcMllIcs Northwest
Mounted Police Earl Askam a
former stage star and war hero was
to have played it but he died recent-
ly of aheart attack and > oung
Cameron whose real name is Rod
Cox was summoned for K By a
grisly coincidence the role includes
a death scene but hes so elated
over getting the part that he cant
afford to be superstitious
Now that they need passports to
sill for a tour of South America it
has been discovered that many of
Toscanlnis NBC Symphony musl
clans are men without a country
It seems that there was a general
impression among them that all
they had to do to become American
citizens was to file their intentions
of doing so now theyre not Amer-
icans and as they renounced their
native lands they dont legally be-
long anywhere

Carl HofT on the CBS Al Pearce

other day and wished he hadnt He
parked his new coupe and then tried
to get out of it and couldr t He
went through assorted acrobatic
convulsions thrusting his feet and
arms out of the windows in all pis
sible combinations while the crowd
offered advice hilariously The new
coupe has patent thiefhvks on its
doors Only after he had struggled
till he was limp did it occur to Hoff
to pass the key to one of the
amused bystanders
