PASSING THE CRUISER BILL


Az has been its custom for \ Ions
time. the Senate did not support the
suggestion Of President Coolidge
that ? timo limit be not included 10
the construction OF Is cruisers and
passed the bitl with that prosiso in
tact, Now. It u Indicated from the
White House, there will be no veto
because Of this failure toscarrv out
the policy Of the chief executive.
Yet that rsmaina to be 'seen; prior
reports from Authoritative sourcea.'
regarding the Presidents attitude
may be in error.
This measure. which authorizes
the, construction II Is, lo,o00-ton
cruisers and an airplane carrier at

fes that construction WORK on all the
cruisers shall be started within three
years It the rate, Of five cruisers q
year. Opposition to the bill COM
pissed only q few senator's few Re-
publicans having the hardihood TO
remain true to the principles Of the
Prcsident against the time clause.
This 10 the first action Of the Sem
ate after ratifytng. the multiiateral
pact for the remuneration Of war as
a national policy. Criticism is sure TO
follow. ~ 1t has generated ever since
the cruiser bill vas under consider
alton But the Senate itself nugified
the application Of the kellogg pact
by specifying that wars Of defense
were still permitted: and Of course.
every government Is quick TO claim
its war - one In defense Of some
thing. If only in defense of morality.
The object Of the cruiser building
is to put the navy upon parity. or
nearly 20. with Great Britain. The
total OF battlcships being strictly cir
cumscribed under the Washington
treaty, the attention OF the naval
powers Is concentrated upon the less
expensive cruisers; although in fight
ing power there has been such a vast
advance made in this class If ships
that experts say they quite equal the
bsttleships of decade or so ago.
Although there may be divided
sentiment throughout the nation re-
xardins the wisdom of engaging in
the largest cruiser building program
for a decade. there can be little
doubt that the preponderating seni.

Of the navy bill as passed by the

Oak pond. it is impossible to main
tain this station AZ We would like to
have it maintained"
We are glad Mr.. Bennett wrote
this letter because it brings up q
subject that does not reflect much
credit upon that portion of the pub
lie which makes kindling wood Of
trolley shelters. or other shelters
that are constructed for the con-
,enience OF the public.
The same experience was had at
the shelter house at Sunset Rock.
This, erst W lille an attractive building
finally has been ruined by mafauders
of various sorts 1t remains but q
shell of itself, and were it not for the
fact that the walls are OF stone per-
haps these also long ago would have
disappeared. 1t is to be hoped that
the state. Wlen II CONSTITUTES he"
shelter. will be able to guard it or
construct it of such material that it
dofies the onslaughts of the unthink-
ing.
The result of demolishing public
shelters along trolley line is that
the company and private individuals
become wary about reconstructinG
such property. The natural concln-
sion is that if the public thinks so
little of such convenicnccs that it
can do without. That attitude I'M
fortunately is somewhat evident. The
larger portion Of the public which
would not think OF smashing private
property in this manncr-compris-
ing about % per cent of the people
is inconvcnienccd by the actions of
the one per cent.

WOOL AND NEW ENGLAND

Now that the booster spirit has in
undated New England, and when
even Secretary Of Commerce Whiting
arises to tell Boston audience that
the situation for this tier of states
remains "hopeful;" when certain
New England states have put on ad-
vcrtising campaigns. and certain
cities have followed suit: when the
New England Council sends out
reams OF publicity about the pros
poets and possibilities of this
charmed section of the land-in
addition to all this along comes DIR.
Julius Klein, director of the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce.
and wants to know why New Eng
land doesn't raise its own wool.
That makes us pucker an eyebrow.
1t needs no agricultural expert to
agree with the Ansonia sentinel's
farm expert when he penned the fol-
lowing comment upon DR.. Klein's
suggestion:
New England is historically wool
raising country. Wool raising here
was profitable when the market at
fractions were not nearly as great
as now. There is proof that We can
raise good grades. even fancy grades
here. Except for our long winters
which require barn feeding. New
England Is well located for sheep
raising. 1t has much territory not
adapted for tiIling. but we'll adapted
for sheep grazing. DIR. Klein does not
say it. but we need sheep to keep
down the growing bushes on thou
sands of untitled New England
acres, Finally. here in New England
are the greatest wooden mills Of the
country. Here. right at hand. is the
market for the wool. What shall
make the farmers of New England
see this"
Sounds like IA revived industry is
possible. But how is it. with all our
worsted plants in New England, SO
many mems clothing shops in Bos-
ton. our metropolis. advertise the
genuine imported article, limiting be-
tween the lines that no gentleman
real thing direct from London? Per-
haps. we have often thought. some
! of the American wool and worsted
magnates Of New England them
! selves wear English woolens.
