Harding, in Seattle Ad-
dress, Says This Coun-
try Must Ever Look to
Strong Naval Force For
National Security
Hopes Congress Will Main
tain High Standard of
Fleets Loud in His
Praise of Alaskan Press.
By The Associated Press.

Seattle, Wash, July 27.-President
Harding appearing before the Seattle
Press club after his review today in
the harbor here of virtually the en-
tire United States battle feet, de-
clared that until the day comes when
nations abandon use of armed forces
America shall find her assurances In
navy of the first rank.
Pleads for First Place.
I'VE were building two years ago at
a rate that would have placed our
armed sea power in excess OF any
other power but in conviction that
armament cost and competition was
leading to menacing national burdens
we invited an international confer
ence to fix limitations" the president
added. I'VE asked equality with the
first rank for ourselves and were ac-
corded it. Let us hope our congress.
with the cordial sanction Of the AM
erican people, will continue that first
rank. believe our obligation to the
world means the most exacting re-
striction of our maintenance within
the maximum limitation fixed by the
conference and l believe our clear
duty to ourselves Is to maintain the
equality provided in that maximum
until a new baptism of International
conscience prescribes a joint action
toward reduction or complete abolish
ment."
Praises Alaskan Press.
In addition to his observations on
the question of naval power, Mr.. Har-
ding said that those of US who
think we knew a great lot about
newspaper making may learn some
very simple fundamentals by going to
Alaska.
II found myself" he continued, lin
voluntarily doffing my hat to the edi-
tor and publisher who succeeds in
maintaining a daily issue in town
of eight to twelve hundred people
where the circulation maximum can
not exceed two to three hundred
copies. l refrain from an attempted
analysis of the relation of the value
of advertising to its cost, but the
community value of the publication
will remain unchallenged.
World News In Tabloid.
There is a limited reflex of the
big news of the world with a larger
relative regard for pugilism than
world politics, but human interest is
fairly satisfied with the tabloid story |
of world events. Doubtless the Alask- +
an community is quite as well nour-
ished mentally with it's restricted news
diet as are some of us who find our I
nauseated way, If we read our news /
papers fully, through elaborated and /
expatiated stories of crime and scan I
dal, and wander through a haze of t
speculative politics.
THE big asset in the successful ,
Alaskan sheet is the home news and {

Berlin. July 27.-One OF the most
menacing effects of the collapse of the
mark is asserting itself in the grow
ing arrangement OF the food situation
in greater Berlin. This Is ascribed
directly to the depleted stocks. the
withdrawal Of food stores and price
jumping by merchants who are seek
ing to protect themselves against the
complete extinction of the mark as
currency and their resultant inability
to procure fresh stocks.
Tea coffee, rice and other pro-
ducts of the tropics are already disap-
pearing from the markets and there
is also a pronounced shortage of po-
tatoes, due to the belated spring har-
vest and the fact that the government
has been sending heavy shipments in
to the Ruhr and the Rhineland.
This weeks price index shows food
prices to be seveAty-one thousand
times the pre-waF averages.
