U.S. Re-armament
E
VER SINCE the Munich Agree- ment unsettled American isola- tionism, a struggle has been going on in Washington over defence plans for the United States. On one side were the military men who wanted careful, steady equip- ment for technical efficiency in defence. On the other were those who, led by President Roosevelt, thought in political and diploma- tic terms. The Army recommen- dations, which were finally adopt- ed yesterday, disclosed that the former had won.
A defence programme calling for a total expenditure of £500,- 000,000 does not measure up to the colossal £1,600,000,000 arms bud- get which Britain has undertaken this year: nevertheless, It is some- thing for the American people to think about,
The-most-controversial part..of.
the programme was the appropria-be tion of only £80,000,000 for new aeroplanes, which was signed by the President yesterday after being passed by both Houses of Congress. It will more than double the U.S. Army's existing air force, but will add only 3,000 of the 10,000 planes which, it had been widely rumoured. America intended to build.

But "in-loveness," vital as it is, is like the poet's inspiration for a poem.

And when it comes they will know how much more important are the things of the spirit than the things that time has swept away.
If in your wife's wrinkled check and fading eye you see shining a quiet, happy, loving spirit; it in her voice you hear tones of gentleness, loving-kindness, and sympathy: If in her laughter there is still the ring of good humour and an enjoyment of the happy things of life, you will kneel down beside her at eventide and thank God for her even more gratefully than you did on your wed- ding-day.
