RADIO DEBATERS
CLASH OVER WAR
Rabbi Wise Hits Prepared
ness Which Father Loner-
gan of Legion Defends.

Opposing views of preparedness were
presented last night by Rabbi Stephen
S. Wise of New York and Father
Joseph Lonergan, former national
chaplain Of the American Legion, in
debate broadcast by the Columbia Sys-
tenn.
Rabbi Wise said war preparedness
kills peace preparedness, asserting a
better purpose would be served if the
millions of dollars necessary to build
q battleShip were used for the relief
of the unemployed.
Father Lonergan said Congress
should enact the Legion's national de
fense program and urged that voters
defeat members of Congress who failed
to support legislation for an adequate
Army and Navy.
China as Example.
He said China with her man power,
beSet by Japan with a vastly inferior
population, was an example of what
happened to unprepared nations
Rabbi Wise asserted China is armed,
prepared and apparently still capable
of self-defense." The French and Ger
mans were prepared before the World
War, he added, but that fact did not
preserve peace.
THE war machines Of Europe were
brought into collision in 1914" he said.
because they were so prepared as to
make the poStponement of war i'm
possible.
Wars to Be Lost.
Hereafter, wars like the Great War
will be lost. but not Won" Rabbi Wise
pointed out that between go and 70
cents Of every government dollar is
consumed by reparations in one form
or another, for past wars or prepara-
ton of future wars.
Father Lonergan insisted, on the
other hand, that the Government of
the United States has no right to put
the security of the United States on the
f1uctuating market of budget allowance
or subject to the rise or fall of economic
conditions" He said this country has
suffered much needless loss of lives and
an inestimable amount of money by
being unprepared to meet wars when
they arose.

that Wally was still missing. And
Lieut.. Trapnell was so greatly con-

skinned over the details of his mar
row escape in describing the crash to
reporters and preferrtng to talk about
Wally.

helped in the search fer Wally. At

When Delegate Wickersham introduced his bill for the ere ation of a Supreme Court for the Territory of Alaska it pro- vided for a membership of the four district judges and a pre- siding judge to be appointed by the Attorney General. Be- cause of the expense of an ad- ditional judge, the Judiciary Committee of the House did not favor the bill. As a conse- quence the Delegate has pre- pared and introduced a new bill that provides for a mem- bership of only the four dist rict judges, three of whom shall constitute a quorum for transacting the business of the Supreme Court. The judge in the First Division shall be the presiding judge for the first year, the other judges in the order of their number division shall serve a year as presiding judge. Neither of the judges shall receive extra compensat- ion for their services on the Su- prem Court. As this bill car ries no extra cost or appropri- ation, it is expected to meet the favor of the Department of Justice and the Judiciary Con- mittee, and thus pass Congress.
