CURTIS READY
TO QUIT SEAT
Has Double Purpose in Re-
signing Now.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ ItmeS special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Vice-
President Elect Charles Curtis is
preparing to resign his seat next
week as senator from Kansas. His
decision, however, may be upset If
the senate fails to vote on the Kel-
logg peace treaty before Christmas.
Senator Curtis is exerting every
effort to have the Kellogg pact
ratified before the senate adjourns
next Friday for the Christmas
holidays. 1t will be his farewell
contribution to the Coolidge legis-
lation program.
Two reasons will prompt Senator
Curtis's retirement at this time,
nearly three months in advance OF
his taking the oath of Office as vice.
president. First, to Jake a long
vacation, and second, to retire from
the senate in time to have a friend
ly successor appointed.
If Senator Curtis resigns before
Jan. ID, it is understood that Gov
ernor Ben Paulen will appoint
either David E. Mulvane, Republi-
can national committeeman, or
former Representative j. N. Tin
cher.
Should the appointment be made
later by Governor-Elect Clyde Reed
the new governor, it is reported
that either former Governor Henry
Allen or William Allen White, the
publisher, will be named. Curtis
is not friendly politically with Allen
and he is reported as Indifferent to
White.

U. S. NAVY BILL
URGED; KEEPS
SEA FREEDOM
Legion Commander M'Nutt
Cites Nations Needs in
N. Y. Speech.

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Dec. 15-Shall the
United States or Great Britain be
the master of this nations destiny?
This was the keynote of an adj
dress delivered by Paul v. McNutt,
National commander of the Ameri-
can Legion, at a luncheon of the
Foreign Policy Association in the
Hotel Astor here today. 1t is the
question at issue in strengthening
the United States navy, he said.
Frankly, it is a question of the
freedom Of the SEAS" he explained.
at is a question of whether Great
Britain will continue to dictate liz
time of ar where we shall trade
and how we shall trade. Great
Britain will attempt that dictation
in any war with which she is con-
nected. It has occurred in the past.
1t will occur again.
Great Britain Dictates
ut caused the war of 1872. It
occurred in the World War, and
while the international blocade
caused discussion between England
and America, England searched our
ships and maintained the blockade
in her own way. The Germans,
themselves, by interfering with the
free navigation of other countries,
brought this country into war with
them.
Great Britain will always dictate
trade by sea in time of war so long
as she maintains her supremacy as
she has in the past. She has gained
that supremacy since the World
war by failing to keep the spirit
of the Washington disarmament
conference, and by out laneuvering
us in successive diplol ATTIC moves.
''The only answer to the failure
Of the Geneva conference in 1927
that Great Britain, or any other
European power, will ever under
stand will be the strengthening of
the United States navy. Then they
will listen to an equal reduction.
Don't Intend to Fight
"a United States navy equal in
strength to that of Great Brit>en
does not mean that we intend to
fight the British fleet. The pacifist
says we do. The American Legion
is opposed to that view. Nor does
it mean that Great Britain intends
to fight us. I believe that thought
is far from the minds of either peo-
pie. 1t is the thought that the pac-
first has dragged across the path
since the Presidents Armistice day
speech, in which he declared it is
imperative that our navy be in
creased at once by building more
cruisers. 1t is significant that the
President chose an American Legion
celebration to make that statement.
''We have a right to demand an
equal position. The President has
told us why. We have a long coast
line. We have distant, outlying
possessions. Our foreign commerce
is unsurpassed in Importance. Our
foreign investments are unsurpassed
in amount, both as to their value
and the number of persons involved.
All must be protected"

tom MIX HAS
GREAT STORY
Picture at Dittmann
Leads as Western
Picture

One OF the best told stories ever
put into a western picture is found
in "The Arizona Wildcat" Fox Films
latest release to the Dittmann the
ater, where il is showing. Probably
one reason for this is that it was
written by Adela Rogers St. Johns
especially for Tom Mix and his horse
Tcny. Miss st. Johns is one of the
best known writers OF popular fic-
ton. whose stories appear in such
magazines a the Cosmopolitan and
who is also the author of several
best selling novels.
In "The Arizona wildcat" she has
written a story that Is a perfect We
hicle for the daring Western star.
Tom is at his best in this picture,
performing some Of the most breath
taking feats with apparent ease and
with a grin.
There are many new angles In
this one. including the n where
the cowboys beat n crack eastern
polo team at their own game. Also
the idea of smooth eastern crooks
plying their trade among the west
erners makes for many humorous
situations.
Dorothy Sebastian. in the role Of
heroine, gives a fine performance.
and the other members Of the cast,
too, TO help to make an entertain
ment that is clean, sparkling with
laughs, jammed with action and
pulsing with a suspense.
