knitting Our Defense
Army Supply Bill Is Vicious

Nasqueradng proponents Of government economy mem
bers Of the War Department subcommittee of the
Appropriations Committee have slipped knife into the
nations defenses.
The War Department appropriation bill, reported by
Representative Ross Collins for the committee is bomb
which, enacted in its present FORM will wreck the purposes
and aims Of the National Defense Act Of 1920.
That act studied attempt to provide adequate
number of trained to defend the country in Of
necessity at minimum Of COST
The best thought Of the country went into the act
General Perhng and other officers who served through the
World War called upon their experiences and upon examples
Of history to provide country which did wish
tain large standing army with supply Of trained
and equipped men,
The wisdom Of the theory Of that cannot be questioned
But the War Department appropriation bill knocks that
act into cooked hat
With paragraph it wipes out the Citizens Military
Training Camps-wipes them out without trace.
In effect it will also destroy the organized reserve
will strip the R. O. T. G. units in schools colleges
Of necessary instructors.
The bill goes farther than that.
After dealing these blows at the secondary units strikes
at the heart Of the Regular Army by stripping Of 1000
officers
These only few of the apparent of the vicious
proposals Of the measure.
They certainly are enough to raise the question of whether

tenance Of an adequate defense.

Pardon Massie Defendants
And Put Hawaii Under the ARMY or Navy

Far from squaring" Hawaii the eyes of the American
people, action of Governor Judd merely committing the
sentence Of the Mase defendants is conclusive argument
for change in the government there.
Governor Judd apparently granted the Communication only
after pressure from President Hoover Communication how
does not the stigma Of the sentence Of man.
slaughter full and free pardon alone do that
Governor Judd had been honestly deous Of doing justice to
the defendants he would have granted the pardon. It
devouy be hoped that he will be forced into granting it
yet
Everything the Hawaiian has done toward
Justice in fact has been due to the storm of wrath and pro-
test that has swept the United States Left ITSELF would
have steps for the outrage And now
there little prospect that the assaants Of Mrs Masse will
get the punishment they deserve The Hawaiian idea is to
hush the whole matter up speedily possible in the
interest of local business and local politics.
Hence there will be further Outrage long the present
"gang' is in control
The American people also beginning to that in
addition question Of law and order in Hawaii there is
vital issue-the issue Of national defense.
The islands population of 100000 Of these 100000
are Japanese Other Orienas and hacastes constitute most
the remainder There only 5000 registered American
voters in the islands.
And this is the racial composition of chief Pacific
foressthe only real buwark have against attack from
the west.
Nothing could be foohardy than to leave this fort
under the administration Of carpet bag government
which must keep in office BY playing to the Asiatc
majority of the population.
Hawaii ought to be put squarey under military or naval
control and for the benefit Of this nation and its defense
needs
The inhabitants would be better off under admins
tration than under the present one.
And the United States would be infinitely better off,
its Pacific outpost would then be not Of weakness
but Of strength.
We doubt President Hoover will recommend any such
STEP

But trust there few in the Senate and House

After the Congress turned
it's attention to ways and
means to balance the budget,
on the representation of
what would be required, Sec
retary Mills, who furnished
the figures, had to admit that
he had been about $500,0OO,-
600 wrong!
When Congress started
out to balance the budget it
was told that a billion dol
lars would be necessary: and
now it is found that much
more than a billion will be
required.
It is notorious that during
the last two Administrations
it has been impossible to get
a reliable estimate of reve-
nues from the Treasury De-
partment.

another of the difficulties in

no man ever goes so far as to
reason that out. Even when he
admits that she has glorious
eyes, he probably can't tell you
their color.
A woman, on the other hand,
can not only tell you why she
admires or loves a particular
man, but can give you a daily

reactions. She has him all pSy-

She knows exactly whether it
is his magnetism, his manner,
his "line," his intellect or just
his eyelaShes, that caught her
fancy. And, by that same token,
she can tell you just what it is
about HER that caught HIS

Promised to Cut Down
Cost of Government

There is one feature of
the Presidents s message that
will impress many as a bit
SNUG. He wants the cost
Of government cut down
through a reorganization Of
the governmental depart
ments. Well, he promised
that four years ago; he did
not begin to be interested
much until his opponent in
1928 in a newspaper article
took him severely to task for
doing nothing, and until the
House put it's own economy
committee to work. Even
now he is evidently not in
position to put forth a def
mite program. Had he taken
his own promise of four
years ago seriously he would
be in position to submit
specific plans to Congress
for its approval.
When the deficit hit us
like a cyclone and Congress
met in December a message
from the President submit
ting a complete program for
reorganization would have
been more impressive and
useful than a message Of
mere criticism without a
constructive plan at this
hour.
The Washington times., 1932-05-09
A Hoover
Deficit

OV44S4V
And, after all, this is the
Hoover deficit, not the def
cit of the Democrats. It
was created when every
branch of the Government
was in possession of the
Presidents party. It has
now been thrown into the
lap of Congress, one branch
of which is Democratic by
a small majority.
The President says that to
get the enormous sum re-
quired to wipe out the
Hoover deficit, it is neces-
sary to broaden the base in
the matter Of taxation, and
however hard it may be to
increase the taxes of the
small man with a small in
come today, there is no other
way, short of a very simple
way-for the President to
recommend the tapping Of a
source of revenue, now un-
touched, through which
other nations get a very
large part of their taxes.
The small man would not
have to take on an extra
burden; the big man, finan-
cially, would not have to
cripple himself more to meet
it, if the most prosperous
business in America today
were not immune from taxa
tion. That business is the
liquor traffic. Until that
source OF revenue IS tapped
again, the small man must
bear his added burden, and
the business man, engaged
in lawful enterprise, must
bend his back to meet the
cost of government.
Since the President has
seen fit to call for "cour-
age" " is it ungracious to sugG
gest that enough courage to
meet the realities on this
subject would do some good
at this junctureY
On no other subject Is
there so much timidity and
cowardice, and no cowardice
is responsible so much for
the billion-dollar deficit and
the necessity for more oner-
GUS taxation.

All Of which is perfectly rea-

that, in matters of love, men

A man knows instinctively

l. ing in the form of criti-
cism of Congress after that
body had rejected some Of
his plans, instead of coming
before the vote when it
might have done some good,
was clearly intended as a
campaign document. How
ever, the pro-Hoover press is
not impressive in it's attempt
to turn the criticism Of the
House into an indictment Of
the Democrats. The Presi-
dents criticism is based on
the fact that the House not
only rejected his economy
plan but that of the Demo-
cratic Ways and Means Com
mittee. In truth, it was not
a criticism Of the party at
all, but Of the members of
the House who rejected
the leadership Of both the
Republican and Democratic
leaders in that body.
Thus there is something a
bit strained in the comment
of a pro-Hoover newspaper
that
1.-THE Republicans were de-
lighted while the Democrats
and their progressive allies
were obviously stung."
In heavens name, what
Republicans were delighted9
LaGuardia, who led the re-
volts? The great mass of
Republican members who are
criticized by the President
in his message because they
refused to follow SnellY And
what Demo ocrats were
" "stung"? The leaders whose
program was lost in the re-
volt?
The truth is that there was
a revolt against the leader
ship in both parties, and
those in revolt combined
their forces irrespective of
party politics and smashed
the program.
Real Explanation
Of the Trouble
There was nothing new in
the Presidents insistence
that the budget must be
balanced. Speaker Garner
said the same thing more
impressively when he took
the floor a few weeks ago.
Everyone agrees that there
must be a balancing Of the
budget. Far fairer than
the stories of the pro-Hoover
press is the statement of
Mr.. Mellon in a London ad-
dress on the reasons for the
confusion in Congress:
"The confusion you read
about in Congress is merely
as to ways and means, and
is almost inevitable under
our system Of framing reve-
nue. legislation. The i'm
portant thing to remember
is that the American Con-
gress is seeking a way to
levy over a billion dollars in
new taxes, and that is not
an easy thing for any leg
islative body to do, especi-
ally on the eve of a general
election and in the face of
depressed business condi-
tions."
The real explanation of
the trouble is to be found
in the words" especially on
the eve of a general cleo
ton Were the election
a year off, there would be
less timidity and quicker
action.

Although northern Alaska yes- terday wasn't in the banana belt, it's temperatures were milder than those reported in more southerly regions, and it was actually warm e. at Point Barrow than it was in Seattle.
 And the Eskimos of the North west had less use for reindeer skin parkas than did the inhabi- tants of Portland, Ore.
 Point Barrow temperature rang ed from a low of 28 to high of 32. Seattle's comparative readings were 20 and 30. The minimum temperatures on the Alaska coast from Nome to Kodiak, 32 to 3o, were higher than the maximum readings from Juneau to Portland, 18 to 30.
 San Francisco's minimum tenn perature, 36, was matched by that registered at Bethel on the Lower Kuskokwim River, and was lower than that at Kodiak where the lowest point was 38.
