Thrift Week

Experience should have recon-
mended the observance of thrift had
Benjamin Franklin never been born.
Nevertheless he contributed so ma
terially by example and precept to
the stimulation of thrift ideas that it
is quite fitting the beginning of Thrift
Week should be Jan. II, the anniver-
sary CT his birth, two hundred and
fifteen years ago.
1t is said of him that he had much
OF the useful and little of the senti-
mental. Whatever he undertook
seems to have been applicable to
practical effort, whether in business.
science or diplomacy, and yet it Is
related that he was the only
philosopher able to dramatize HIM
self as he went along. A very effec-
tive, useful personality was Benja-
min Franklin, and moreover he had
the good old New England training
in self dependence.
Luckily not all thrift deserted New
England when Franklin left for Phil
adelphia. Likewise it has been trans
mitted in some degree from genera
ton to generation and augmented by
our immigrants, SO that New Eng
land ought to be awake to the posi-
bilities Of thrift week observance.
Some of us arc. it would seem from
efforts being made to take advantage
of it, What better occasion for MAX
ing appeals for money saving? This
fact is not lost sight Of. judging by
plans reported, wares advertised at
thrift prices, investments offered that
once accepted lead on to competence
1t is not far to seek for the truth
that those of US who do not snend
quite all we earn are capitalists and
have acquired individual independ-
once to that degree. Welcome Thrift
Week, and the ten commandments
which one eminent authority recon-
mcnds: Work and earn; Make a
budget; Record expenditures; Have
q bank account; Carry life insur-
;tncc: Own your own home; Make a
viii; Pay your bills promptly; Invest
In reliable securities; Share with
Others

that very time the authorities were
empowered to stop the robbery. 1t is
correspondingly easy to arrive at the
conclusion that certain Of the

that some of them were no dunder-

It seldom fails to remove the tor

Opinions on Disarmament

On general matters the opinion
OF General Bliss, former American
representative on the Supreme War
Council at Paris, may not be entitled
10 more weight than that of many
others. Considering his opportuni-
ties Tor acquaintance with the situa-
ton. however, his statement before
the Naval Committee that should
this country call for full, fair and
free discussion of reduction of arma-
ments, the favorable response would
be prompt and inevitable" is entitled
to consideration. Moreover there is
force in his argument that any nation
coming to such conference and re-
fusing to agree to any proposition
looking to disarmament could be
written down as the next Germany.
He added that fear is the basis of
war preparation and we should de-
termine whether there really is any
basis for fear. That position would
seem to need qualifying. While fear
may be the base on which war
preparations are made, the records
show how frequently that base is it.
SELF built up for selfish purpo ses.
German greed and Hohenzollern am
bition are recent illustrations.
Secretary Daniels objects t, the
arrangement proposed by Senator
Borah' whereby the United States.
England and Japan should agree to
limit naval construction as being in
the nature of treaty and excluding
the rest Of the world. In this it ap-
pears General Bliss. who would in
clude France and ITALY,, does not
agree. He declares the smaller ma
lions would gladly accede to any
proposition agreed upon by these five
great powers. Furthermore he is
convinced that the people if kept in
formed respecting a proposition to
disarm or limit armament would in
sst on its acceptance.
Tables submitted by the secretary
show that while the present effective
fighting strength of the British NAVY
includes 5SS ships, of 1,5SS,442 tons,
as compared with $40 ships of 779,1s3
tons for the American Navy. compile
ton of the authorized building pro-
gram of this country in 1925 will give
ii a tonnage superiority in the ratio
of 1876 to 1, with approximately an
equal number of ships.
While the present strength of the
American Navy was shown to be
more than double that of Japan,
should the latter country complete
its projected program for 1927, in ad
dition to construction already au-
thorized, and this country terminate
construction with its present pro-
gram, its naval superiority over
Japan in that year, it was shown,
would be reduced to ratio of IL to
].
