SAYS HAMILTON
CONGRESSMAN FROM SIXTH DIS.
TRIcT TAKES NO STOCK IN
JAP SCARE

Hon. Daniel w. Hamilton of Sigour.
ney, member of congress from the
Sixth district passed through the city
this morning enroute from Muscatine
where he had been visiting his brother
for the past week. He left for Oska-
loosa on a business trip on the noon
Rock Island.
When asked regarding the Japanese
situation he said the move by the
navy department in sending the At.
lantic feet to the Pacific waters was
merely in preparation for any unpleas-
antness that might take place. Though
the likelihood of such a happening was
very doubtful.
Wnen asked about the strategic val.
ue of Hawaii and the Philippines he
quoted an old Sigourney friend, Guy
Woodin to the effect that when Dewey
captured Cayite and set things on the
run in Manila bay he should have put
on full head Of steam and sailed
away f2m the islands making the
Japanese problem an imposs.bility.
