Equality With Great Britain and
Five Thirds the Strength of Japan

Out of the cloud Of argument made
in the House of Representatives on
the Naval Appropriations bill has
come the impression that $4,000
enlisted men are adequate to main
tain fully the five-five three naval ra-
ito established at the Washington
conference.
Effective naval power consists of
adequate material manned by com
petent personnel at the right place
at the right time. Some people
think that if we have sufficient war
ships with merely "peace time
crews on some and the rest tied up,
we can get adequate crews any time
they are needed. 1t takes ten years
to train a naval officer and three
years are required to make COM
petent sailormen ont of the best ma
terial on earth-an American. This
can't be done in the face of a specific
diplomatic crisis because there is not
time, and to attempt it would
more than likely precipitate the war
one is trying to avoid.
Those who advocate weakening the
navy at the present time in the name
Of economy and peace lose sight o.
the fact that economy and peace
is the judicious spending Of money
not the refusal to spend it, and that
to invite attack does not make fol-
peace.
A nation impotent to support its
legitimate rights has the choice OF
being elbowed out without coming to
blows or being thrown out after c
fight.
For the first time in our history
the United States has a definite and
reasonable naval policy. 1t is that
the United States should maintain
a navy equal in all essential respects
to Great Britain's and two-thirds
stronger than that of Japan. This
is the policy eunciated by our dele
gates to the Washington confer
ence 1t is accepted by Great Britain
Japan. and the other great powers

were showing their inability to meet
competitions from China. The mar
ket for these domestic undergrades
was not affected owing to the dimin-
ished supply and the ready outlet
furnished by domestic egg freezing
plants, which took such undergrades
as did not find a more profitable out
let in the shell form through the
cheaper household trade in the
cities.
AS the great bulk of the imports
since 1914 has consisted of frozen
and dried eggs, which compete only
indirectly with most domestic shell
eggs the tariff problem in the egg
industry seems primarily to concern
egg products. However, imported
shell eggs, chiefly from China, come
in during the fall and early winter,
when domestic costs and prices are
at the annual peak, or when they
have Just passed their peak and are
tending downward These imports
compete mainly with storage eggs,
but affect the price of all shell eggs.
When they have arrived in sufficient
amounts to attract attention they
have had disturbing influence on
egg prices quite disproportionate to
the volume Of imports.
The report on Eggs and Eggs Pro-
ducts presents considerable data
concerning prices, market receipts,
imports: cold storage, egg products
manufacture, uses to which eggs and
egg products are put, and other facts
bearing on the commerce in eggs
which may be of interest to produc-
ers, consumers, and others.

want and have a right to expect.
In this connection, Secretary
Hughes said in recent letter to
Congress:
"The only question would seem to
be whether our Navy should be re-
duced below the treaty standard by
a provision of personnel inadequate
to maintain it.
"To this question I think there
can be only one answer. / strongly
believe that it would be most injur-
iouS to the interests Ct the United
States not to mainain fully the stan
dard of the treaty.
'The American delegates (to the
Washington conference) deemed it to
be essential that they should stand
inflexibly for the ratio shown by
existing strength and thus they in
sisted upon a replacement schedule
which would give equality with
Great Britain and a alto of So with
Japan. This result was achieved.
We should have taken a wholly in
defensible position had we asked for
less. But of what avail are this ia
Dor and success if the navy is not
kept up to an agreed standard?
81 trust that an adequate personnel
will be supplied to maintain the Is
battleships which the United States
is entitled to keep together with the
auxliaries that would be appro,
pirate to such a fleet"
When the American people make
known in unmistakable language
that they will accept no less, there
will no further quibbling about how
many men are required properly to
man out Navy. We shall simply
take the Japanese total and multiply
it by fve-thirds We shall simply
take the British total and match it.

THE MELTING POT

The New York City census
Committee, in their recent report.
give some instructive figures.
They show that New York City
contains more foreigners than the
entire population of Chicago or
Philadelphia. There are 100000
Russians, including Polish; SO2,-
900 Italians; $4,000 Irish; 605,-
600 Acknowledgements; and
$4,000 Germans. These figures
include the foreign-born and
their children. The total of these
nationalisties is 3,631,000. The
births among the Russian and
Italian residents were greater by
100 per cent than the births among
the native whites of native par
ents. Meanwhile there were loss
es among the Irish, English,
Welsh. German and Swiss stock,
instead OF gains. The French III
crease was 40 per cent, the Span
iSh $50 per cent, and the Greek,
200 per cent.
These figures will surprise most
of us. Think of it. New York
now has more Russians than Mos
cow, and a hundred thousand more
Italians than Naples. In 1000 the
Germans led all other nationali-
ties, numbering 10000. But that
is 100000 less than the Russians
OF the 1920 census: while today
they are 100000 less. This loss.
which is also the case with the
SCandinavianS. the British, and the
Dutch, is probably caused by the
migration to other parts OF the
country; especially 50 in the case
of the ScandinavianS, who have
gone for the most part to the north
west. where their fellow-country-
men exist in great numbers, and
where the climate and agricultural
opportunities are more desirable

The other water power the State
owns does not present such an acute
situation. That can be developed SO
that the people will get the benefit
without any danger to navigation OH
the canal. To build the canal and then
delete the water for power purposes
would be serious blunder. the Gov
ernor believes. and something difficult
to explain.
During the summer the Governor
inspected the barge canal and there
is no doubt as to his enthusiasm over
It's possibilities. There was a day
when the Governor was numbered
among those who could not see that
the people would ever get their money
back, but now he is confident they will.
and with interest lie looks upon the
canal as competitor OF the railroads.
and he foresees the approaching Gay
when the tonnage will be increased 10
such an extent that the matter Of
transportation will be relieved so far
as congestion is involved, and that
will mean getting commodities TO
market.
IF we can get produce to market
we can reduce the cost, because the
law OF supply and demand controls
price"
The Governor casually remarked
that there was no occasion to 20 into
details as TO increased tonnage, be-
cause figures were available in the
Department OF Public Works.

material into New York at reduced
freight rate" he said. eve will be
doing something, and it will be done.
That it can be has been proved al
ready.
There Is just one more thought we
might take Up briefly" said the Gov
ernor. "and that is highways. Like
the canals, there Is no reason why
we should go into figures as to mile

decreased engineering cost. The
