DEFENSE AGAINST RAIDS
NOW BEING PREPARED
Parliament Listens 10 Frank
Admission of Government
That Preparations Have Not
Been Made,

! London Feb. l6 (9:55 =. m.)-To-
days debate in parliament on the
air defense Of Great Britain was chief
ly remarkable for the frank admis-
sions made by the cabinets spollos-
men that the present conditions arc
far from satisfactory. Andrew Bo-
mar Law, secretary for the colonies
A. J Balfour, first lord Of the ad-
miralty. and II. j Tenant. under
secretary for war; all spoke in this
vein. They declared, however, that
the government was doing all that
was humanity possible Mr. l}alfour
scored the sensation of the day when
he declared that one of England S
great mistakes in the days prior to
the war was her failure to develop a
direible airship fleet along lines SIM
liar to that of Germany
Hcppclins Are Valuable.
With regard to Zeppelins," he
said looking back on events | am
sorry that we did not develop that
type of vessel not so much for ag-
eression and defense as for maritime
and other scouting Such airships
might have played for us an import
ant part. Certainly Germany has
had an advantage in possessing them,
I'VE are doing what We can to
remedy this state Of things, but do
not pretend that when we begin the
race ten years behind the enemy.
there is any reasonable probability
of catching up. However. something
must be done and what can is being
DONE
The matter of Zeppelins came up
earlier in the day in the opening
speech by William Joynson Hicks,
unionist who recalled Winston Spen-
Ger Churchills statement of March,
1914, that England was to have
fleet Of airships and that one of tho
Zeppelin type had been laid down.
Churchill Is Blamed.
"Mr. Churchill continued the
speaker said We had built or were
building fifteen airships. Where are
they?"
Towards the close Of his speech Mr..
Joynson- Hicks reverted to this same
subject, remarking. Il have left out
the possibility of our defending our
selves from an air raid by means of
of the Zeppelin type because
we have not got any. Regarding
this Lack heavy responsibility rests
on the gentleman who was first lord
Of the admiralty some time ago The
debate on air defense was introduced
by Mr.. Joynson- Hicks in moving an
amendment to the address from the
throne regrettng that no proposal
has been made therein for placing
he air service of the country on a
firmer and stronger basis"
Complete Defense Impossible. I
At the close Of the days debate
Mr.. Joynson- Hicks consented to with
iraw his amendment on the under
standing that further opportunity
would be offered for debate later in
he session
Mr.. Tenant, in behalf of the war
'ffice, after outlining a new scheme
or the coordination of the army,
navy and munitions departments in
he work Of air defense, closed with

Old Line Battle.

The big battle in the convention
was fought ont between the "old line'
organization under the leadership of
William Barnes ana the supporters
of Governor Whitman
The question Of endorsement ended
in a compromise by which two reso-
lutions We're presented, one dealing
exclusively with national affairs and
the other "commending" Governor
Whitman's conduct of the. state ad-
ministration This partial victory Of
the governor was offset by complete
defeat on the question of the national
delegates. The Whitman forces had
united all their strength in an effort
to nominate David JAIME Hill, of
Rochester, as one of the big -four"
The Barnes faction declared them
selves opposed to DR. Hill ana pre-
sented instead the name of William
Berri Of Brooklyn After a fight
which lasted four hours the commit
tee on delegates finally agreed on
United States Senator James Wads-
worth, Jr Charles S. Whitman. Fred
eriek c. Tanner and Elon f. Brown.
republican leader in the state senate.
AS Wadsworth, Tanner and Brown
are reputed anti-Whitman men the
committees decision was accepted as
a defeat for Governor Whitman.

Don't Do It Again.

Ex.Gov. Edward C. Smith opened
his mouth and stuck his foot in it
when in addressing the Greater Yer
mont association he injected politics
into his remarks. What he said. in
the language of one of BelasCo's char.
aciors, was Irrelevant, 'mm sterial
and not germane TO the subject" II
the Greater Vermont association Is to
be used as n political agency IL will
soon lose its usefulness, and II has
started on course which ought To
make 1t the most potential force for
upbuldng the state that has ever exist
cd. People also will revolt at the idea
of railroad influence in public affairs
There was too much of that sort of
thing years ago, but fortunately there
has been little apparent attempt in
recent years by the railroads to use
their influence in public matters. The
people OF the state have shown n dis
position to be fair toward the railroads
and to cooperate with them. Another
break like that which Smith made will
arouse antagonisms which will be
harmful TO the railroads. We are will
ing to forget what Smith said, and
we hope the newspapers and the public
generally will take the same attitude
But for heavens sake, Eddie, don't
do II again. -Brattleboro Retormer

PAGE Bank Loans

A correspondent of the Bristol Her
aid asks lot of insinuating questions,
in that paper, last week, regarding
Senator Pages banking methods, but
is ashamed to sign his name to the
article or father it in print which is
enough to condemn it as unworthy Of
notice.
The charge that the depositors have
been deceived in regard to the invest
ments of the Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust Company, We happen
to known are unqualifedly false.
Up to the time that c. S. Page was
elected senator and went to Washing
ton, this bank had advertised that all
its loans were made in Vermont or &c
resident Vermonters.
The year following his election the
deposits increased nearly half n mil
lion dollars. There was no demand
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1916-07-21

for the money in Vermont. Against
Senator Pages vote and well known
desire. that all the money of this bank
should be loaned in Vermont, the di-
rectors wisely decided TO follow the
example OF every other savings bank in
the state. and loan the surplus money,
not wanted in Vermont, outside the
state, upon securities designated by
law.
Every deposition was ratified Of this
change in policy, and the reasons for
il.
No advertising "all loaned in VI"
etc, has since appeared.
This is no brief for any one but
plain statement of facts.
Every dollar of this hank as we'll as
other Vermont institutions is reserve
first for those needing il in this state,
who can furnish the required securi'
ty, and then, and then only loaned
elsewhere.
Attempt by insinuation, under no
name, to smirk the character of the
men in this bank or Senator Page, Is
lltly characterized as dirty politics. -

to its high Offices.
IF it is right to permit a man who
is a temporary resident of the state to
represent the state in one high office,
why is il not equally right for such a
man to represent Vermont in the other
Offices OF the state Government, in the
legislature, in the judiciary and in all
public Offices? If it is right in any of
these instances it is right in all OF
them. If it is wrong in any OF them
it is wrong in everyone Of them.
"'rhe practice can only be justified
on the principle of a quid pro quo and
this means nothing else than selling
orr birthright for mess of pottage,
larger or smaller. Such practice
can bring no ultimate benefit to the
state. 1t only stamps the people of
Vermont as easy and holds the state
up to ridicule and contempt. What
expectation or hope will there be IT
such a practice is allowed to grow and
increase, for the ambition OF the youth
OF this state?
at would be a short step from re-
quest TO demand, and from demand
for high Office. TO the suggestion fol-
lowed by demand, for the reform of
our institutions, and for the reorgani-
cation of our entire political system.
