REAL STATESMEN NEEDED IN U. S.
AND JAPAN
CBy BRUCE CATTON)

The clang of the hammers in American
shipyards is about to sound at louder.
faster pitch than we have heard in years
Across the Pacific in the shipyards Of ia
pan an equally accelerated changing IS
about to begin; and unless all signs fail
these two nations will presently be en-
barked upon q naval building race Of the
traditional type. in spite of treaties, gen
tIemen'S agreements or any other forms Of
restraint.
1t is very easy for an American to de-
plore this trend. No one who remembers
the outcome OF the worlds last great navel
building racc-between England and Ge:-
many-can be blamed for dreading the
advent of 4 new one. But it is not nearly
so easy to say just how this race is to be
avoided
Your pacifst, of course, will remark
that the way to avoid race of this kind
is to build no more warships under any
circumstances; to let the other chap iav
down as many keeIs as he chooses and to
pare your own establishment down year
after year, secure in the knowledge that
you yourself aren't going to war no matter
what happens.
But it isn't likely that many Americans
will endorse this plan. The world is still
a periloUslg disturbed and suspicion
racked planet; International policies still
have a way Of colliding head-on, in spite
of all we can do to prevent it; and while
war may be Il most costly and wastefuI
way of settling disputes, the world does
not yet seem to have reached the point at
which it can assure itself that war will be
no more.
In short, America has very solid reasons
for maintaining 4 strong navy, and a gov
eminent which failed to do so could prop
erly be called Short-sighted. And the same
thing doubtless can be said of the Japa-
neSe.
Which leaves Us, perhaps, right where
we started-eXcept that it all underlines
the heavy responsibility which rests on the
shoulders of the statesmen of the two ma
tiOns.
There are, after all, more reasons for
the United States and Japan to be friendly
than there are for them to be enemies.
This country is Japan's best customer
Japan, in turn, buy heavily from the Uni
ted States, and the development of Japan
Asiatic conquests should logically open
still larger markets to American manufac-
turers.
As both nations prepare for trouble, il
should be possible for their statesmen t.
work out way whereby they could con-
tinue to live in peace.
Self-interest on both sides of the Pacific
dictates such a course.

COUNCIL GIVES
SAFETY ADVICE
JosephF. MacSweeney, Direc-
tor of Council, Gives Radio
Address Over WDEL
WATER SAFETY RULES

Safety for resort patrons makes
exacting demands upon the time,
ability and foresight of the gov
ernmental, civic and business life
of Delaware's popular seaside re-
sorts, according to a radio address
made over WDEL by Joseph F.
MacSweeney, director of the Del
aware Safety Council and a resi-
dent of Rehoboth, Delaware. Mr..
MacSweeney is a recognized au-
thority on water safety. He de-
clared that a large contribution to
painful and sometimes serious ac-
cidents is occasioned by lack of
thought of beach parties particu-
larly those at night using bottles.
Generally bottled edibles and bev-
erages are brought along and after
the party is over they are thrown
into the fire pit where the heat
breaks them up into very potent
mediums of harm. Usually the fire
and refuse are covered up with
sand and apparently all is well.
But a wave from a high tide comes
along and removes all but a thin
cover from these jagged ends of
broken bottles. The next thing,
some innocent victim running along
the beach steps into this trap and
spends the rest of his vacation on
crutches and is sometimes lucky to
escape with that. Most resorts
have receptacles for such trash and
the public's cooperation will save
someone painful injury, to say the
least. Don't let accidents steal
your vacation and don't steal that
of others by thoughtless action. AL
ways find out about a new bathing
place before you go in. At the
seashore ask about the tides, UNI
dertow, whether the shore slopes
gradually or falls off abruptly and
when bathing in heavy surf look
out for currents running out and
keep away from piers and bulk
heads. When diving always be
sure of the depth of water and
lack of Instructions. A few in
telligent questions may mean the
saving of many lives. Mr.. Mac
Sweeney urged summer vacation
lists to cooperate whole-heartedly
with the '1ife guards" These men
are carefully selected and specific
ally instructed in the performance
of their duties. These guards are
usually broad of mind, sound of
judgment and reluctant to enforce

to your list of pictures that are dis
tinctly worth while seeing. 1t has
Genevieve Tobin and Roland Young
in the leading roles and has a gem
erous content Of all the ingredients
that go to make perfect entertain
ment. Pleasure Cruise" relates
the story of young woman who
decides to inject some romance in
to her married life by taking a
cruise on one of those liners whose
principal cargo is a group of pleas
ure-seeking passengers. Her hus-
band, a timid and credulous gentle
man, isn't entirely enthusiastic
about his wife's taking a trip for
the trips sake. So, with benefit
of disguise and a somewhat chang
ed personality, he manages to be-
come a steward on the very ship
that is to carry his wife on her
quest for diversion. Una O'Connor,
Herbert Mundin and Frank Atkin-
son are trio of comics it would be
hard to surpass anywhere, and
Minna GombelPs performance is
crisp and snappy. Ralph Forbes,
Theodore Won Eltz, Robert Craig
and Arthur Hoyt are splendidly
cast in important roles.

ers prove once again that they are
the most vivid romantic team on
the screen. The promise they gave
in bad Girl" the picture that lift
ed them both to the cinematic skies
is fulfilled in generous measure by
their joint performance in Sailors
Luck" Dunn plays the role of
happy-go-lucky COB, always ready
to fight but always naive in the
ways of the world. Sally Eilers,
as the girl who is responsible for
it all, is the perfect foil. They

the case with a COB and a girl, and
from then on the action is hectic
and hilarious. Dunn resents the
attentions that other men pay to
Miss Eilers, but the girl happens to
be the kind that provokes atten-
tion. She just can't help it. At
ter a series of misadventures, and
separation provided by the Unit
ed States Navy and a quarrel Of
their own, the two are reunited in
climax of rare entertainment.
Monday and Tuesday-All bet to
win, none can afford to lose. Yet
each of eleven people stake their
lives on different horses in the
thrill-packed capitol handicap race
in the picture From Hell to Heav-
en-. Carole Lombard, Jack Oakie,
David Manners and Adrienne Ames
have the leading roles in From
Hell to Heaven" drama centering
around the running of a famous
Derby. Though the Derby funish-
es the motivation for the action, it
actually plays only small part in
the picture, which concerns itself
principally with the results of the
race upon the people it chooses to
survey. Each stakes his entire,
career on the running of the Derby;
yet each bets on different horse.
Every horse is a favorite, and
you'll find yourself roofing for
every horse to win. But only one
can, and the uncertainty of that
gives the picture an unbelievable
effective punch right up-to the final
curtain. It's an ingenious twist
that Paramount has given the
smash climax.
