BRTTAIN'S NAVY.

Sir Auckland Geddes, British am
bassador. saws not one warship has
been laid down by Great Britain since
the armistice. Nor is a single battle
ship or -battlecruiser now under con-
struction for the British government.
When the war ended. four great
b~attlecruisers, called the hush ships,
because of the profound secrecy OF
their design, were on the ways. slr
Ackland declares only one of them
the Hood, was finished, and that was
SOLELY because she was about ready to
be fitted, nyway The three others
were broken up.
There doesn't seem much room for
argument here by scare-mongers VINO
profess fear of Britain's naval
strength. You can't quarrel with a
nation over naval matters, after 1t
stops constructing warships. Great
Britain feels herself secure against any
hostile naval development in Europe
for a reasonable time to come. There
fore, British new construction has
ceased.
The United States Navy Department
continues to build capital ships ana
plan for new ones. But. it doesn't
matter to Great Britain what the
American Navy Department does. Ih'
British admiralty will spend no money
in rivalry against his ountry Grea'
Britain declines to consider h United
states a possible enemy of the future
And we doubt If any American reail!
considers Great Britain a possible
enemy of the future. The W grea
English speaking nations have got U
stand together in the progress or TN
world if civilization is going to al
vance.

NORTH DAKoTA's EXPERIMENT.

fsThe United States supreme court
has decided that the North Dakota In
dustrial program is constitutional
thus the people of that state win their
long-desired opportunity of trying OUT
plan socialistic in aspect, but not
nearly as red as the decaying Rus
sian Bolshevik experiment.
The court decision is right in that IL
permits the people of a sovereign state
to do what the majority wants done
and which is not in conflict with the
federal constitution. Seven different
state elections indicated what the peo-
pie of North Dakota wanted state
owned elevators, packing plants, Hour
MINIS, coal mines, other public utilities
and a state bank to finance the whole
Industrial program.
The rest of the nation will watch
with considerable interest This state
ownership experiment in North
Dakota.
