Russians, Lovers of Chil
dren, Will Give Anne
Bullitt Warm Welcome.
By JULIA BLANSHARD
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK-—Austere and here
tofore cold diplomacy . seems in
danger of < ‘beeoming warm and
personal,
First, with the whole world lis
tening in, Commissar Maxim Lit
vinov talked to his little family in
Moscow and his voice softened
eagerly when his daughter, in
childish treble, called to him,
“Hello, Papa!” ;
And now America’s Russian
Ambassador, William C. Bullitt,
has taken hig little nine-year-old
daughter with him to Moscow to
be the First Lady of the Ameri
can Embassy in Russia.
Nothing Bullitt might do could
possibly endear him to Russians
‘more than bringing his little girl
with him. Russians almost wor
ship their children.' Child welfare
and child “education are the warp
and woof of the new Soviet social
fabriec. Russian adults may go
hungry and suffer from lack ot
this or that, but the children usu
ally are well-fed, round and rosy.
During the scarcity of sugar, for
instance, the government opened
little sweet shops for children. No
adult could buy a scrap of sugar
there. Nor could the most devoted
pareny purchase sweets for chil
dren to be taken home. They had
to take theechildfen in, buy the
sweets and *watch the children eat
them on the premises so the gov
ernment would be sure that the
boys and girls, not adults, got the
cakes and candy. |
Little Anne Bullitt will make a
marvelous little hostess. Having
been brought up “alone, an_almost
constany companion to her learned
Papa, Anne has a quaint dignity
and poise that maxy grown-un
ladies well might envy.
She is ‘a serious little girl, much
fonder of reading books than play
ing with dolls, much more inter
ested in listening to grown-ups
talk about important matters than
in the childish prattle of those her
own age. Yet this past summer,
when someone gave her a little
gift unexpectedly, Anne dimpled
with obvidus pleasure and was
as enthusiastic in her thanks and
appreciation as any little nine
vear-old would be when Santa
Claus brought her what she agked
for.
Anne looks a great deal like her
mother, T.ouise Brvant, who was
divorced from her father in 1930.
Anne has her mother’s = wide,

SWANSON 15 URGING
U. 5. T 0 DROP LEAD
TOWARD DISARNING
Seeks Talk With F. D. R.
To Strengthen Plea
Made in Report.
ASKS BIGGER SHIPS
Naval Secretary's Sug
gestion Arouses Little,
Comment Abroad.
WASHINGTON—(#)— Secretary
Swanson Monday sought opportun
ity for conversations with Presi
dent Roosevdlt in furtherance, of
plgas contained 'in his annual ré—
port for an American navy second
to none and an abandonment by
the United States pf its “lead im
disarmament.”
The navy secretary also studied
reaction from abroad to his frank
suggestions first reports from
L.ondon indicated little stir over
his statement, while from Tokye
came word that Japan was dis
satisfied with its small end of the
b-5-3 ratio.
In submitting his annual naval
activities report to the president
Swanson remarked that this coun
try’s disarmament moves since the
World war had set an example
for the rest of the world, but had
impaired America's relative naval
strength. .
“The time has come, however,
when wa can no longer afford to
lead in disarmament by example.
. . . our weakened position does
not serve the cause of peace.
“It jeopardizes it, because bal
anced armament fortifies diploma
cy and is an important element in
preserving peace and justice.
whereas undue weakness invites
aggressive, war-breeding violation
of one’s rights.”
To maintain a navy a¢ full
treaty strength, the secretary
urged adoption of a progressive
building program, providing con
struction of a specified number of
vessels each year and allow for
replacement of over-age ships.
“The navy has not had such a
program in the “ past”, he added.
“Our gporadic building programs
have not only proved very costly
to the nation, but they have left
us far under our treaty strength
in up-to-date ships."
As an example, Swanson said,
that by the end of the, present
year all but four of the fleet’s de-,
stroyers would be under-age. The
secretary expressed himself as fa
voring the 5-5-3 ratio of the Wash
ington naval treaty as between
the United States, Britain and Ja
pan for capital ships and aircraft
carrier tonnage and the approxi
mately 5-5-3.5 ratio of the London
naval treaty for the three nations
of the other categories.
“There are two methods,” he
said, “by which these ratios may
be attained; first, by reduction of
naval strength on the part of
other nations to our level or, sec
ond, by our building up to full
treaty strength. Inasmuch as the
first method has been tried and
has ‘failed, only the second remains
open to us. ’ I
“I believe one of the strongest
guarantees for peace and justice
is an adequate United States navy
—a treaty navy second to none.”

“Facing the Scarecrows of Life”
was the subject of the sermon by
Rev. J. A. Langford, of the Oco
nee Street Mehtodist church, Sun
day morning. 2
Rev. Langford, in a denuncia
tion of the people who are fright
ened away from the best things in
life by the scarecrows of fear and
lack of confidence, said, “It is a
very '‘common thing for us to look
at difficulties, throw up our hands,
and say it can’t be done. But it
can be done if we will come down
off the fences and telegraph poles
of life and not be frightened by
the tilted hat and ragged clothes
of obstacles.”
Discussing the parable of the
talents, Rev, Langford pointed out
that the man who buried his tal
ent was satisfied until he saw his
seeming littleness as compared
with thq man who Rad ten talents.
He had no confidence in himself
and distrusted his Lord. Like so
many of us, he wined that the
“conditions were unfavorable.”
“The Lord is not asking us to
use something we do not possess,”
declared Rev. Langford. “He is
asking us to use the talents vest
ed in us to lead people to the light
of Jesus Christ, and with the help
of God, we won't even see the
scarecrows.” F o

service at Prince Avenue Baptist
church, the Rev. T. W. Tippett
delivered a sermon on the “Peril
of Uselessness.” The text for the
sermon was taken from the 12th
chapter of Luke.
Mr. Tippett elaborated on the
fact that a church would live only
so long as it renedered a service.
He gave several examples where
God had taken power away from
nations that had served their pur
pose and ceased to be useful. The
sin of doing nothing, and thus be
ing useless to others was empha
sized throughout the entire ser

The sermon ended with the
quotation from -the Bible by Mr.

Troops May Have to Be

Ashes of hundreds of burned bal

the horizon of Louisiana’s sixth
congressional district on elect‘ionl

The state administration Mon
day informed the East Baton
Rouge district court which last
week issued a restrainng order to
prevent state authorities from print
ballots for Tuesday’s election that
the restraining order was without
effect because the ballots had al
ready been printed,
With the status -of the ballots
thus in doubt, Judge K. Faveat
presiding in the court, ordered to
trial the case of eixth districy citi

The case was that J. O. Bouan

the district who have attacked the
legality of the administration move
tofsend Mrs, (Boicar E. Kemp to
the vacant sixth district congress
seat in a special election called for
Tuesday, without the holding of a

The election was called a week
ago for Tuesday by Governor O, K.

The sixth district Democratic
executive commttee friendly to
Senator Huey P. Long on that
day met in New Orleans, disregard
ed the primary and nominated Mrs.
Kemp. widow of the late represen

Thereupon @ storm of protest
with open threats of ‘revolution”
swept the district and centered
Sunday night in burning of ballots
and a series of citizens mass meet
ings through the district called by
opponents of the Long and Allen’s
administration.
The anti-Long faction termed the
Allen-called election illégal and one
announced candidate M. E. Whit.
man, of Amite, issued a statement
asking the people through the
legislature to seek impeachment of
the entire Allen administration
“from the governor down” to “Rid
themselves of the outlaw of Long

a sub.committee which has con
ducted an exhaustive study of
methods by which the income tax
may be administered to bring in
extra revenue without increaging
rates. It will consider also, the
liquor taxes to follow repeal, in
joint hearings later with the sen

As the full house committee be
gan its study of the sub-commit
