E-7 ASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The
WI United States. having aban-
|. doned the right to fortify the
Philippine Islands and Guam. Great
Britain is now preparing to spend
$50. 100000 on Singapore to turn it
into one of the strongest naval bases
in the world.
Singapore consists of small
island and strongly fortified sea-
p1rt city, the capital Of the crown
colony OF the Straits Settlements, off
the southern extremity OF the Malay
Peninsula. 1t commands the east
ern entrance to the Strait Of Ma
lacca, the main route to the Orient.

cific.
They Fear Japan
Australia and New Zealand frank
ly acknowledged their fear of Japan,
which the washington treaty had
left allpowerful in the Far East,
and demanded OF the London govern
ment that the menace be removed.
They felt safe as long as the United
States was strong enough to hold
Guam and the Philippines, but panic
seized them when they realized that,
instead of barring the road, the
American islands out there might
now prove mere stepping stones on
the way to Australasia.
Thus it was decided still further
to fortify the already well defended
island Of Singapore, to make OF it,
in fact, the Gibraltar OF the Far
East. With fine harbor and ex-
tensive docks, an expenditure of
$50, ,000, 900 more on It will make it
the finest naval base outside the
British Isles. 1t will complete Brit
aims chain Of bases stretching
around the world, on guard at every
stategio corner and gateway Of the
sea.
Japanese Object
The Japanese bitterly objected to
the Singapore project--so much SO
that the Macdonald government Of
Britain temporarily abandoned It.
But the government of Stanley Bald
win now makes 1t one OF its major
projects. The Japanese were par
ticularly opposed to it after it had
been stated in the House of Com
mons that 1t might prove OF value to
the United States in defending or re-
taking the Philippines.
Colonial Secretary Amery, how
ever. made it perfectly clear that
Singapore is purely a = defensive
measure since 1t is 5000 miles from
Japan. while other speakers .ex-
planned it could be used against that
country only '1n the event of Japan
returning to an expressive policy
such as she had against China dur
ing the war"
British observers openly declare
the United States is no longer able
to defend it's interests in the Far
East and that the American policy
Of the "open door, in China must
be maintained by the British If at
all.

The Cherry
~ Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

So Trotsky is back in Moscow and
everything is to be all right. The
Soviets are to swing toward conserva-
tism and there is nothing to be afraid
Of any more. Those who have op-
posed recognition of the soviets may
now calm their fears and withdraw
their objections.
Mr.. Hearst has sounded the keynote
and dobutless Mr.. Borah will fall in
with the idea most heartily.
**A+
But there are still some things to
examine. Who is Trotsky? Why, he
is the man who stood at the right
hand Of Lenine when the soviet die
tatorship was established, when it was
at its very bloodiest, when it was
shouting world revolution the loudest,
when the red army was the biggest
army in the world, when all Of the
various propaganda and plotting in
ternationals were formed. Whatever
Trotsky's place in the soviet scheme
Of things may now be, he is the same
Trotsky, essentially.
***
But there is something more inn
portant than that. The soviets shape
their course to suit requirements
They put forward the bluff that they
think will work best.
The soviet dictatorship is today as
much dictatorship as ever. Nothing
in that particular has changed, nor
will it change until there is new
form of government in Russia.
What the dictatorship does it car
undo. This has been proved by 8
dozen changes of policy, back and
forth. Government by edict is, in 9
way, simple thing. Action is quick
land autocratic.
4++A
Trotsky comes back and Zinovieh
"confesses" that the plot for worle
revolution hasn't been as successful
as expected. The friends Of the
soviets grasp this as wiping away al
objections. But it doesn't mean any
thing Of Importance at all. It means
that some other way will be sought, Of
there will be fresh disguise or ex
cuse for the old way. There has beer
no change in essentials. The dictator
ship remains.
The forms of capitalism are being
restored, Mr.. Hearst thinks. Business
and employment by private individ
uals are being restored. Always th'
apologists for the soviets seek to con
vey the idea that at last the sovietl
are getting to be like other people.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1925-05-29

AS if all that made some difference.
The dictatorship is like chameleon
and it boasts of that fact. It changes
its color to suit the tree it has been
forced onto; it changes its face to
suit the play.
The outer forms of work and busi-
ness, while important to the Russian
victims, are Of little Importance to the
world where recognition is concerned.
Sovietism is based on deceit of other
peoples, on the idea that the ned JUS
titles the means, on doing anything
that may uphold and perpetuate the
dictatorship and undermine the insti-
tutions and the governments Of other
countries.
1t takes long time to bring about
general understanding Of this basic
fact about sovietism. Some, including
Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Borah, either
never will understand it, or else they
have always understood it and want
that sort of thing.

RECALLED BY NOME EPIDEMIC
Dog Team Carried Anti-ToXin to
 Alaskan Gold Camp

Anchorage, Alaska, March G. Establishment of a speed record for a relay run of G5O miles by dog team from Nenana on the Alaska railroad Ito Nome, on the Boring Sea, recalled to Dr. J. B. Beeson of this city a trip he made in 1921, to Iditarod, a former Alaskan gold camp, 600 miles. AntitoXin to fight diptheria epidemic was carried on each jour 'ney.
 "One of the most marvellous bits of skill l ever saw was exhibited be- tween Cripple and Iditarod, 12O miles apart" said Dr, Beeson. "One musher's team of half-wolVes, un- broken, ran away. For 25 miles they sped through timbered country while the driver clung to the handle bars of his sled. avoiding an upset by quickly shifting his weight from run ner to runner.
 "One of the greatest dangers to drivers of fast dog teams In low tem- pcratures Is to be thrown from the runners. A driver keeps on trying to balance from runner to runner | until the cold makes him so numb he cannot move. Then he may fall off and may be miles behind before an upset stops the team. It is very l easy to freeze to death then"

 Judge Ryan claimed the proposed Ichangc, if made at all should be an Amendment to the statute giving towns the right to make bylaws and ordinances, rather than the one to Igive sclectmcn power to order rub Ibish removed from highways.
 "Would you ever look for a law on dance halls under the index rub Iblsh'?" he asked the committee, Iadding that it used to be that man who was "ncithcr an athlete nor q Igymnast could carry the general statutes but if such fool laws as this arc passed, it will be necessary for lawyers to buy pcrambulators to carry the laws around" He also said that the bill gave the selectmen powers which were too broad and could be used against a dance hall owner who was not popular, while Ithe dances given by the Grange might not be regulated at all.
