Mr.. Britten Gets in the Papers

Well Mr. Britten has got himself into the papers
again.
One method Of a minor politician seeking to break
into print is to make press statement purporting
to give the views of the President. Britten chair
man of the house naval affairs committee. improved
on this by attributing to PresidentEect Hoover sup
port of the dfteen-cruiser bill, having hard
time in the senate.
The President-elect has authorized an official
denial of BrittenS statement that Hoover certainly
gave me the impression of declaring for navy Sec
ond to none in power and efficiency. am sure
the time limit will be pleasing to Hoover" Hoover
had not discussed the pending legislation it was said
on his behalf at Miami Beach.
Of course Hoover is on record in many formal
statements as favoring an adequate navy. But that
is quite different from the attempt of Brtten to use
Hoovers name to oppose the Coolidge request that
the time construction clause be dropped from the
cruiser BILL and to oppose the effort Of others to post
pone the cruiser program, pending further friendly
arms limitation negotiations with Great Britain
Doubtless Britten is satisfied with the publicity
thus obtained, despite the humiliating reputation.
In the same statement in which he was misrep-
resenting Hoover Britten befouled the American ideal
of the Sanctty of treaties in these words:
"Steel ships with big guns accompanied by air.
planes speak with much greater force than time
worn words of friendly treaties"
No wonder part of the world thinks the United
States is ga bully and menace"
We only can hope that the world will judge our
nation by its acts and not by the misshapen ideas
of the Brttens among U.S.
If the British people will judge us by our acts,
they viii see that our government since the Wash
ngton naval limitation conference has ignored pa
tenty the provocaton of the British admiraltys big
cruiser programs.
Unless the British people soon curb their ad-
miralty's war-like policy they cannot expect the
American people forever to succeed in preventing the
dangerous armament race desired by our Brttens

Victims Of System

CTILL the former kaiser is not
- wholly wrong in refusing to take
full blame for the war.
If not the victim, he was at least
the product of a system-a system
which is as old as human con-
seriousness, which has taught the
people of every race and cline that
others we're not only little diff
ferent, but a little worse, which
finds embodimet in SO per cent of
all written history and which is
being perpetuated In millions of
school rooms throughout the world.
In considering national relations
we are up against a system, not a
mystery.
What the peace movement needs,
if such it may be called, is more
franknesS based in intelligent
thinking, and less of the backstair
scheming and back alley gossip
which have played such an import
ant part in the diplomatic game.

Fall of the Mighty

CURIOSITY, and little else,
W makes the former kaiser a
good source of news. The rest OF
us want to know just how it feels
to have fallen from such height.
What is the old man thinking
about? Has he repented, or does
he consider himself merely to have
been purified by divine providence?
If some one had told the former
kaiser when he was SO where he
would be at 70, that some one
would have been kicked downstairs.
Those who walk on level ground
can make mis-steps without great
risk. Not so with those who walk
in high places.
AS Shakespeare says, ""Tis not
bad to be the worst and most de-
spised thing of fortune. The worst
is to have fallen from the best.''
People like to hear from the for
mer kaiser, not only because of the
big tumble he has TAKEN but be-
cause of his abnormal conceit.
He still thinks himself a lnan Of
peace, still thinks the war was
forced upon him, still bewails his
fate as that of a. martyr.
Few mortals have ever shown
such monumental inability to see
their own weaknesses.

KEN MAYNARD is
AT PALACE TONIGHT

"Bulldogging a steer" was once
the greatest thrill in the program
of Western rodeo. Mos rodeos
of the present time have elimi-
mated the "bulldogging" number
from their programs for the simple
reason that it is too dangerous for
the cowboys. 1t required marve-
lous riding ability, together with
super-strength. the eye of an eagle
and the capability of timing mo-
ments to split seconds.
'sBulldogging," W h e n properly
done, consists of releasing a wild
steer from an enclosed corral, with
a mounted cowboy standing in
readiness to follow the steer. The
cowboy must jump from his horse
alongside or atop the bull and
throw the steer from his feet to
the ground In championship
contests this takes anywhere from
one to five minutes.
Ken Maynard sets a record in
bulldogging in "The Land Beyond
the Law" his latest First National
starring picture, coming to the
Palace Theatre tonight. To make

BRASS BANDS
MAKING HIT
ON BROADCAST

SEATTLE, Feb. 5.-"Realism"
seems to be a key note of the
theme programs broadcast by the
Associated Brass Band over the
three stations of the Northwest
Triangle, KOMO, Seattle, .KGW,
Portland, and KHQ, Spokane, and
emanating from the studios of
KOMO. This was evidenced once
last fall when the Band staged a
typical College Rally in which
brass band was supposed to have
very prominent part. Letters
received from all parts of the coun-
try indicated that a very large
listening audience actually thought
hey were listening to pep rally
from the University of Washington
and many remarked how smoothly
the entire pep rally moved along.
On January II, the theme of the
Associated Brass Band program
was the Adventures of Lodge
Ddliu at q 4NdliOndl AOuF cHllOu.
Incidents that might occur to a
Lodge Band, its parade down the
main street to the depot, its par
ade in the convention city, the
band contest and nightly serenades
were all given a place in the pro-
gram.
And again, the three Northwest
Stations each received a number
Of letters from distant listeners
asking for furt h information
about the convention. One listener
in Toronto, Ontario, complained
that the announcer failed to tell
which Lodge was having the con-
vention or the name of the band
hat took the silver loving cup and
this listener further stated that he
was unable to find any account in
his newspapers of a National Con-
vention being in session at that
particular date. However, he was
aeenly interested in the band con-
cert and agreed that the judges
showed good taste in awarding the
silver loving cup to the band,
wherever it came from.

 Of Fascist PrOpagandists

Washington, Nov. 29 (Up)-Sec- retary of State StimsOn has begun 1 an investigation of alleged Fascist propaganda and improper activities in the United States. the UnitrI Press was informed today at the state department.
 An article written recently by Marcus Dufficld for Harpcr's masa- zine charged the Italian government was working through Fascist or Sanizations in the United States 10 interfere with Amcricanization Of Italian residents in this country.

FRANCE AND ITALY
 DENY ANY FAILURE
Naval Negotiations Admittedly
 Difficult, But No Break

Paris, Nov. % (UP)-French of ficial sources admitted today that preliminary naval disarmament con- versations with Italy have been diff iicult and may not lead to a com- plcte understanding but the Quai D'Orsay was angered by published reports in London that the negotia- tions had broken down.
 It was learned that reports of fail ure were entirely unfounded al though Italy and France may not be able to reach a complete agree ment before the five power confer ence in London.
 The principal difficulty has con- cerned Italy's demands for parity in naval strength with France. France is considered certain to insist on an actual advantage in tonnage al- though she may compromise by agreeing to artificial parity figures which would place tonnage so high that neither nation could afford to build up to it.
 A government spokesman ridicul- cd the reports of breakdown, pointing out that the conversations had barely started before Count Manzoni, the Italian ambassador was forced to return to Rome for new instructions. After the ambassa dor. return Foreign Minister Aristidt Eriand outlined to him the attitude ] Of Trance.
