General satisfaction is expressed
with the desire of the department Of
justice to have deported most Of the
enemy aliens now interned for their
pernicious activities. These men and
women-a few of the gentler sex are
included-were either German spies
and agents, taking their chances as
such, or else traitors to the country
that had given them shelter. In either
case they are not wanted in America
and should be sent back to the land
they came from or that they served.
There are a lot of others who might
well be deported, but we are too mild
hammered a people for our W good
in such matters.

would be back in Paris by the begin
ming of the week, and M. Clemenceau
was expected back from q brief vaca-
ton at the same time. MI. Lloyd
George arrived in the French capital
Saturday.. Conferences among the
representatives of the allies were to
begin at once. II seems probable that
the number of delegates to the peace
conference will be enlarged so that
experts in certain lines may sit at the
board wien the things they know most
about are being discussed. Great Brit
aims delegates include Lloyd George,
BalfOur and Bonar Law, and among
the advisers on special matters are
such men as Viscount Hardinge, Sir
William G. Tyrrell, Sir Louis Mallet,
Sir Esme Howard, Sir Ralph Paget,
Sir Eyre Grove and Lord Robert Cecil
an imposing list of truly big men
thoroughly trained in diplomacy and
Statecraft.
The numerous and complicated
questions that the peace conference
must take up and settle have given rise
to the suggestion that the congress
should be a continuing body so that fu-
ture developments might be taken in
to consideration and matters decided
that are now too hazy for clear vision.
If this plan were adopted, the forma-
ton Of the league of nations might not
be so pressing a question as it is now
considered by President Wilson and
many others who support his views.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1919-01-10

Secretary Daniels tells the congress
sional committee that his determina-
ton to have a great navy is based on
the argument that If the league of ma
lions is formed the United States will
be Sinking it's share of the policing of
the world if it's navy is not as big as
Great Britain's; and that if the league
is not established and a curtailment
of armament is not agreed upon, we
must have "incomparably the greatest
navy in the world" to defend the Mon
roe doctrine and protect the weak ma
lions. His program, according to his
own admission, is intended as an argu-
ment by which President Wilson can
bring the other nations to accept the
proposed reduction of armament. The
secretary says the president backs up
his policy If competitive building is to
continue. Mr.. Daniels new three-year
building program calls for the appro-
priation of $6OO,OO0,000 to provide for
156 additional naval ships, including
ten dreadnaughts and six battle cruis-
ers.
