...quickest way out of the Depression is to reduce war forces and the taxes which support them. Though the U. S. has no sizeable army to cut (138,000 officers & men), the President consented to join the Geneva Conference in the earnest hope that the U. S. could somehow help other great powers agree to limit their soldiery. For U. S. participation he asked Congress for $450,000 as expense money. To represent the country he appointed a delegation of five: Charles Gates Dawes, Ambassador to Great Britain, Hugh Simons Gibson, Ambassador to Belgium, Norman Hezekiah Davis, onetime Under Secretary...
Tomorrow and Tomorrow (Paramount).

Mirakle, showman that he is, can heap leer on leer and only add to our pleasure...
...good condition. If you're shaky about buying now, glance at these headlines: "Lincoln was Home Owner When Elected President ... Green Sidewalks, Buildings Predicted by Eye Specialist." They contain a subtle urge; there is something fine, something of the patriotic command in them. But the statement which somehow has the most appeal is found hidden away on page seven of this section. In its modest little way it says, "In every period of depression a substantial redistribution of wealth occurs. History will repeat itself this time. It is already in operation in Westchester...
