beauty, and no dirty desire for
ugliness, which hasn't its seed
in you-as well as in the
murderer and the thief behind
the bars.
YOU AREN'T JUST YOU
ONE INDIVIDUAL - JOHN
JONES OR MARY BROWN.
YOU'RE EVERY ODY.
YOU'RE ALL THE HUMAN
BEINGS THAT EVER HAVE
LIVED. AND IN YOU THERE
IS THE RECORD OF ALL
THEIR HATE AND LOVE,
THEIR LUST AND FEAR,
TT HEIR PRIDE AND
CRUELTY.
There's the record, right with
in you-plain for you to read.
More knowledge, in your own
character, than a hundred
college courses could ever give
you.
BUT HAVE YOU THE
NERVE TO FACE THAT
RECORD?
Have you ever even started
to read it?
HAVE YOU EVER WANTED
TO KNOW THE TRUTH
ABOUT YOURSELF?
If you have, you're one in a
million-for the truth about
ourselves is the last thing
most of us want to learn.
Outwardly we may seem to
be honest men and women.
We may meet the facts of
life with courage and intelli-
gence. But when it comes to
our secret dealings with our
own spirits, we'll resort to every
petty pretense, Shifty evasion
and downright lie, to coddle
ourselves along.
You don't believe it? Then
watch yourself the next time
you pull a boner. See how
quickly you put the blame on
the other fellow! Note how
prettily you slick over your
motives! Count the excuses
with which you salve your
conscience! You'll be sur
prised!
Then you wonder why you
continue to get into jams.
You envy us scribblers who
seem to know so we'll the why's
and wherefores of human be-
havior. You wish that you,
too, knew as much about life.
You can know as much about
life. You can begin to know it
as soon as you're willing. The
bitter knowledge is ready and
waiting-right in your own
silly soul.
BUT HAVE YOU THE
NERVE TO TAKE IT?

Our Gradually
Sinking Navy

At the Geneva Conference
in 1927, Great Britain and
Japan failed to agree to an
extension Of the ratio to
other classes Of ships. At
the London Conference in
1880, the only way we got
any limitation extended to
all classes of combatant
ships was by increasing the
ratio of Japan and making
concessions to Great Britain
that amounted to an in
crease in her ratio.
All the while, Congress
was neglecting it's constitu-
tional duty to build up our
navy to treaty strength.
And the result Of this
neglect was that President
Hoover turned over to Presl-
dent Roosevelt the command
of an American Navy on
March Fourth last that was
inferior in strength to the
navies of either Great
Britain or Japan.
In spite of the worldwide
depression and the assur-
ances of worldwide good
will, Great Britain and
Japan, ever since the Wash
ington Conference, have
been replacing obsolete
ships with modern ships,
while our Congress has been
allowing our Navy to wear
out.

One-Third
Of Our Gum Bill

The American people are
now spending more each
year upon perfume alone
than Congress is spending
for them on the mainte-
nance, upbuilding and OPP
GRAFTON for the Navy.
Congressman Vinson es-
Inmates that we spent last
year on our Navy just about
one-third of the sum we
spent on chewing gum. And
the income derived today
from the tax upon tobacco
alone would soon build up
our Navy to treaty strength
and maintain it at that
strength.
It is not the cost of pro-
viding an effective Navy
that explains the failure Of
our Congress to build it up.
This failure is due entirely
to the surrender of the Con-
gress to the pressure of an
organized minority to let
the Navy wear out. This
Congress is doing it upon
the fatuous theory that the
best way to keep the United
States out Of war is SO to
undermine it's national de-
fense that the American
people will purchase peace
at any price.
The Washington times., 1933-05-27
Others Can Build,
Whv Not We?

Both Great Britain and
Japan have kept their ship
building industries going
throughout the depression.
By new naval construction,
these countries have pro-
vided thousands of their
skilled workers with employ
ment.
Since the Washington
Treaty of 1922, our Congress
has provided for only forty
new ships for our Navy, OF a
total of 1877, $40 tons.
In the same period, Great
Britain has provided for Jas
ships of a total of 472,3ll
tons, Japan has provided for
164 ships of 4O9,667 tons,
France has provided for 1876
ships of 5O7,737 tons, and
Italy for IA ships of 297,O72
tons.
And as the chairman of the
House Committee on Naval
Affairs, Congressman Vim
son of Georgia, warned the
Congress the other day, our
predicament will be much
worse in 1886 when the pres
ent treaty of limitation ex-
pires, unless Congress maAes

replacing obsolete ships with
new ones.
In 1886, at the rate our
Navy is wearing out now, we
shall have a total Of only 60
non-obsolete vessels in the
aircraft carrier, heavy
cruiser, light cruiser, de-
stroyer and submarine cate
gories. But Great Britain
will then have, in these same
categories, 130 non-obsolete
ships, and Japan 151.
New aircraft carriers, new
light cruisers, new destroyers
and new submarines must be
added to our fleet between
now and 1886 if this country
is to be in any position to
negotiate with Great Britain
and Japan for further naval
limitation.
It is, of course, false and
hypocritical to pretend that
the United States is too poor
to build up her Navy when
Great Britain, France, Japan
and Italy are building up
their navies as they have
been doing right straight
through the world, wide de-
preston.

When Angels Rush In
The heaviest burden a man

When a man confeSses to an
attractive girl that he loves
his wife, it is hard to tell, by
his manner, whether he is
boasting, apologizing, or just
challenging her to make him
change his mind.
The kind of love that flies
out the window when depres-
sion comes in at the door is so
small that it might just as
weu have slipped out through
the tranSom.
It used to be mint and cloves
but, nowadays, the difference
between a Southern mans kiss
and a Northern mans kiss is
merely the difference between
the aroma of corn and the
aroma Of juniper.
Oh, yes, love IS blind! So
long as a man is in love with
a woman, she fills his whole
horizon, so that he can't SEE

of the erroneousness of your
ideas.
You are ready to force your
opinions, vehemently, on those
who will listen.
AS a result you are considered
a great bore.
Very little dependence is put
on your statements because you
form opinions so quickly, with
out full information based on
truth.
Because people don't try to
argue with you, you think they
concede you are right.
This is not the reason, how
ever; it's considered a waste of
time to oppose you-a hopeless
opinionated bore and so irrl-
tably disagreeable about it.

The Warning
Of Another Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt, be-
fore he was President, while
he was President, and after
he retired from the presl-
dency, warned his country
men against "the foolish,
peace at any price persons
who try to persuade our
people to make unwise and
improper treaties or to stop
building up the Navy. "
When trouble comes, how"
ever, and these improper
treaties are repudiated, and
a demand for armed inter-
vention sweeps this country,
he pointed out that cit is not
these people who will pay
any thing; they will stay at
home in safety, and leave
brave men to pay in blood,
and honest men to pay IN
shame, for their folly" "
Throughout the seven and
a half years that Roosevelt
was President, he pursued
one consistent foreign policy.
He defined it as:
"A policy of genuine inter
national good will and of con.
siderGtion for the rights or
others, and at the same time
of steady preparedness.
Japan would not be pre-
pairing to repeal the 5-o,S
ratio adopted at the WASH
ington Conference had our
Senators and Representatives
in Congress needed the warn
ing and acted upon the ad-
vice of Theodore Roosevelt.

Japan has just delivered
to the League Conference on
Armament, now in session
at Geneva, an ultimatum
that ought to make the
American Congress ashamed
to face the American people.
The japanese delegation
at Geneva refuses to reaf-
firm the method of naval
limitation on which the
Washington Naval Treaty
was made.
By the terms Of that
treaty, this country sacri-
feed naval superiority in
return for a limitation Of
the American, British and
Japanese navies in the ratio
of 5-5-3.
It was agreed that such
naval ratio would assure
each of these three nations
"an equal opportunity to
protect it's commerce and
other national interests in
those areas of the world in
which naval operations must
inevitably be carried on.
Although this method Of
limitation was accepted in
principle for all classes of
S h ips, the Washington
Treaty applied it only to
capital ships and aircraft
carriers.

ABANDONMENT MARSHAL'S

The Hyder Chamber of Commerce has forwarded a strong protest to Gov. Troy and to Delegate Dimond against the closing of the U. S. deputy marshal's office at Hyder, which has been ordered by Marshal Albert White under instructions re- ceived from the U. S. Attorney Gen eral
 The chamber states that abandon ment of the office would leave the district without adequate means of law enforcement and points out that Hyder is border town and a port of entry between two Canadian towns, Stewart and Premier.
 without police protection provided by the marshal's office the Chamber of Commerce declares that the com munity will be virtually at the mercy of foreign clements who pos sess neither allegiance to the United States or regard for its laws.

THE MUKL UK TRAIL
From DELEGATE DDIoNDs OFFICE, WASHINGTON, D. c.
 (By E. L. Bartlett)

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29- Assurances were received by Dele gate Dimond that in the immediate future Secretary Ickes will take the action necessary to release and make immediately available the funds all ready allocated for public works pro jects in Alaska. The papers are now on his desk for inspection and sig nature. Once he has given them final approval construction work to al- leviate unemployment and provide much needed projects can get under way at once.
 Alaskans who regret that the funds were not released immediately after passage of the National Re- covery Act so that full advantage could be taken of the short season can count the Delegate among them. Ever since the adjournment of Con gress he has urged that argument on every possible occasion. But those who think the Territory has been unfairly discriminated against should remind themselves of these facts;
 1. There have been several shifts in organization of the Public Works Administration. Only recently was it finally decided that Secretary Ickes should take complete charge. Organization is not yet perfected. This has naturally acted as a brake on speedy distribution of funds.
 2. It appears that Alaska will receive it's preliminary allocation of funds just as soon as any other political subdivision.
 8. The above statement does not refer to money made available under the federal highway plan. Congress determined the amount to be spent in that manner and the Public Works Administration is without authority to lessen the ap- portionment to any state. Even so, not all the states have received funds lO Stdl lOdu OullulilS uiuCl lhlo provision of MIRA. Alaska does not come within the provisions of the federal highway aid act and the fact that allocations for roads were speed fly made to the states and Hawaii may have created the incorrect inn pression that Alaska was forgotten.
 4. The Administration is nov ing with exceeding caution in ap- proving public works After all, three billion dollars is not an in exhaustible sum- Every effort is be- ing made to authorize only worthy projects. That takes time. Alaskans

State advisory boards to serve un- der the Public Works Administra- tion, composed of three members for each state, together with 10 regional advisors, were appointed this week.
 Boards were not appointed for the territories, the District of Columbia or the possessions.
 It was explained to Delegate Dimond that public works for Alaska will be administered directly by the of the Interior. An en- gineer to serve in an advisory ca pacity will be appointed and it was said that he is to be a resident of the Territory.
 Rumor, which notoriously travels faster than fact, moves here at double speed. In no respect is that more evident than with reference to the endeavor to have a free market

know the roads which they wish to see built, the air ports they are anxious to see constructed, the build ings they want to have erected and other public works performed fall under the category of meritorious projects The Administration cannot be expected to have the same i'm mediate understanding. It first wants time to investigate so that there will be no waste of public money.
 .. The Administration has no intention of allocating the three bil- lion dollars in lump sum. It must save some to inject into the com mercial veins of the nation in com ing months. To change the figure, it would do little good to run the motor at full speed for a brief time and then have it quit for lack of fuel.
 In view of those facts, the thought full observer will realize that Alaska has not fared badly at all There is every reason to expect more money will be forthcoming in the future. As he has ever since MIRA became a law, Delegate Dimond will endeavor to demonstrate that a great deal more could be profitably used now without any suggestion of pork barrel"
