NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS

So much has been said in recent months ABOUT

one drink of this much advertised remedy Tor all
ills. And We dare say that many have been olSlI-

this week. for the first time, noticed that our

POSI- oEEICE BOARDING

Withdrawal of funds from local activities and
depositng them in postal savings may be good as 1"
safety first measure but it is boarding on a
colossal scale.
The presidents edict should also have closed the
deposit windows in the post offices. What sense
to scod people for boarding and then encourage
it in this way?
Originally this function of the government was
to encourage savings. While it remained such the
business at the local post office at least was almost
nil. Information is that the same was true every
where.
But with the depression instead of "postal saw
ings' it speedily became "postal hoardings."
Within few months vast amount estimated
at hundreds of thousands, has left this community
via the post office.
Certainly in this emergency the bars should be
put up against this form of boarding.
Indeed it would help if the government would
at once call for withdrawal of currency that would
have to go to work to be valid,-Daily Sentinel

INJUSTICE TO YOUTH

We are doing grave injustice to millions OF
youths by adhering to the fetish that everybody
must be educated right up through high school
and college and holding out to tho youths the jack
assica fallacy that education is a cure for con-
genital ignorance and guarantee of economic Sc
curity.
What we are actually doing, is rearing nation
of disappointed, disillusoned and disconnected mo-
rons. All men were not created equal and educa-
ton cannot make them so.
Through the elementary grades you can teach all
to read and write and cipher bit, but you can't
teach them to think. The higher education should
be only for those who can their heads, and
those who have heads to use and will to use them
will get all the education they desire.-Elizabeth

AMERICAS NAVAL STRENGTH
(By BRUCE CATTON)

While the administration looks forward
to an extensive disarmament agreement
with foreign nations this summer, the gen.
eral board of the navy issues a report de-
cIaring that 'the growing inferiority of the
American navy is matter of serioHs con-
Germ" and urging the immediate construc-
ton of 43 warships.
Thus once. again we find ourselves in one
of those peculiar situations where the ne
cessiti6s of the moment seem to urge two
Numerically opposite courses of action
upon us.
That there is a very strong and wide
spread desire in this country for armament
reduction is beyond argument. There is
also, however, equally widespread, an I'M
easy feeling that in the present state of
things it is the part of wisdom to keep our
powder dry and our boxing gloves handy,
lust in case somebody starts something;
and how these two feelings are to be rec
onciIed is perplcXing.
As the navy's general board points out,
a navy'S strength is relative. You can't
inquire IL UuleSS you dSScSS lilE StltIlSlh VI
the nayies maintained by other nations.
And it is the boards conclusion that in
every class of ship except battleships our
navy is inferior to the navies of England
and Japan.
To remedy this, the board urges the con-
structiOn this year of two aircraft carriers,
seven six-inch gun cruisers, "a destroyers,
nine submarines and one eight-inch gun
cruiser.
On the face of things, the argument is
sound enough. The chief objection seems
to be that the present is hardly the proper
time for program of that magnitude.
To begin with, federal finances right
now are hardly in shape to stand the enor-
NOUS costs involved.
In addition, we are right on the eve Of
a great international conference which IS
expected to produce further disarmament,
and any large-scale building program
might we'll await the conclusion of that
conference.
Sooner or later we shall have to decide
definitely whether or not We intend to
maintain our navy at full treaty strength.
But we don't need to make that decision
right now.

erty to save property from mortg-
age companies.
To plug up the bung hole that
is causing the leak would seem to
the writer more practical than to
pour in more water to replace the
loss. As money is not so plcnti-
Iful as water these days, it might
be real business to consider the
honest folk who do not overin-
sure. There may be objections to
limiting insurance TO the amount
Dof the mortgage unpaid, but the
individual cases that it might eff
feet would surely be ovcrbalanced
by the general good Of the many.
Our fire department has done
good work. Let US sustain them
i'm every way if they discover sus-
picious fires by e;ndeavOring to
bring criminals to justice, but let
us first stop TN the leak due to

sHIRTs-sTUFFED AND OTHERWISE

We are hearing lot these days about the
Brown Shirts of Germany. HitlcrS followers,
the ''Nazis," adopted the brown shirt as an en-
blem, lust as a dozen years ago Mussolini's Fas-
cists made the black shirt compulsory for all men,
bcrs of the party.
We read a while back of the Italian revolution
ist CaribaIdi, whose armies distinguished by
wearing red shirts. And not long back somebody
tried to start a political movement in America, OF
which the outward symbol was to wear green
shirt.
Shirts somehow, seem to have considerable in
fuencc in human affairs. The principal difference
between the culture of Europe and that Of the Far
East is in the way of wearing the shirt; that is the
main outward difference which may have deep IN
ner significance. For the Chinese and their neigh
bors wear their shirts outside of their trousers
while the European tucks his inside An old saying
of years ago was to the effect that the Russians
could never become Europeans until they tucked
their shirts in; so long they wore the shirt out
side they were Asiatics
One thing about shirts VIC have never quite I'M
derstood, and that is why shirt-tals have to be as
Ions. as they are, when worn by people who tuck
most Of the garment inside their pants. Someone
once said that if three inches could be added to
every Chinaman's shir-tal it would send the price
Of cotton up several cents pound. Maybe some
consideration of economies governs the standard
length of the American Shirt-tail. VIC don't know.
Another variety of shirts with which we have
had no considerable experience in this country Is
the stuffed shirt One Of the truths which We nave
come to realize painfully, is these appointed lead
crs TO whom we looked for advice and counsel
didn't have anything inside their shirts but hay,
and not ALWAYS even that. Some of those stuffed
shirts turned out to he mere windbagS, which COL
lapsed al the first puncture.
We don't think America ready for Brown
Shirt or a Black Shirt or a Green Shirt or a Pink
Shirt movement. but we think it would be well to
keep close eye on lot of the White Shirts who
are trying to get their grip in our affairs to make
sure that they like their dscredited predecessors,
are not merely Stuffed Shrts-FrankIln Times.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

Editor The Timcs-Ncws:
| wish to commend you for your
out spoken attitude toward the
fire loss here and | also
note your news item relative to a
increase Of Twenty-Five
per cent in the cost Of insurance
premiums.
My information is that two in
creascS in premium rates have al
ready been paid here that total
twenty per cent over former costs
and to add twenty five per cent
more would seem to be a burden.
In addition to the added premium,
many Of the policies carry a three
fourths valuation clause. Is it not
a fact that almost all Of our fire
losses arise over mOrtgagcd prop
crty and places that were insured
at 4 valuation above the present
value of the buildings? In short,
should not the basis Of insurance
be three fourths of the present
replacement cost, rather than be
figured on the original cost Of the
building at the then high cost of
building? Our agents are expert
cnccd men in the business and if
they will organize and coop rate
to keep down the size Of policies
to where thcy know they belong,
will it not greatly reduce our fire
loss due to carelessesS, or criminal
fires? Is it not practical for in
.surancc companies to limit policies
to the amount Of the mortgage on
the property? SO doing, will
cause owners to carry a part OF
the risk and make the careless
more careful and tend to deter
the criminal from burninr prop.

Manuel Quezon, president Of the

scored the islands independence

Congress over the Presidential
veto of the Hawes-Cutting bill
giving the Philippines eventual
independence. He said:
eff they had come back here,
all misunderstanding would
have been avoided"
At the same time he was or
dered by a majority party caucus
to order the mission home to
defend the measure. Quezon
said:
II hold that Congress cannot
do worse than give US this
bill.
"If they give us immediate
independence with the imme-
diate closing Of American mar
kets to Philippine products, it
would still be better than the
