EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE SEATTLE STAR -:
TWO BIG POINTS

TREMENDOUS increase Of our navy may DC
necessary, as the president and his cabinet
will recommend but the country will not be sat
isfied unless the administration takes decided po-
sition as TO two other important features Of the
matter of preparedness.
Is there going TO be radical reform as to waste
of money on the navy?
Is the government to do the 'work to the
limit Of the possibilities?
The putting down Of scandalous conditions
is involved in both of these questions. Increase
of the navy should mean retrenchment and not
increase of waste. The jingoism and gougery OF
the private contractor should be squelched.
The president will make mistake if he fails
to make these two points conspicuous in his rec
concentrations TO congress.

UNLOADING "WAR-BABIES"

d ERHAPS no one stock has been more Spectacu-
lar than Bethlehem Steel, in the war stock
gamble of the past six months.
II is presumed to be the hewether of the "war
babies and the "war-brideS" as the stock exchange
brokers call them.
The war stocks are given one more bounce
upward by the circulation of the story that PreSi-
dent Schwab of Bethlehem has subscribed for his
company, for no less than s25,oooooo of the
Anglo-French war bonds.
On the very day that the story was being
heralded by the New York newspapers, tiekerS
told of two stockholders lists of Bethlehem Steel
which are on file and are of interest.
One list of date April 10, showed that Mr.
Schwab then owned 4S,i shares of Bethlehem
preferred stock and 1901 of common. The other
list, of date September 27th showed that while
the lambs of Wall st. were frantcaly bidding up
war stocks the president of the company was UNI
loading-for the September list shows that he
then owned of record only SS,45 preferred and
no common at ALL
Similarly Mr.. Unermeyer deep in the coun
ellis of the insiders, is shown by the stockholders
lists to have reduced the $500 shares of Beth
lehem preferred which he owned on April 10 to
$500 shares on September 27th.
This is only one example of how, after years
of waiting. the public has been coaxed back into
Wall ST. and is exchanging its perfectly good cash
for-well for something that the insiders quite
willing to exchange for said cash.
