and at 1875 appeared to be holding
Endeavour to the 8-length lead.
At 11:55, an hour and Is minutes
after the start, the British challenger
had covered over half the Is miles to
the mark.
She doused her spinnaker at that
time and set a reaching jib, of a
larger sail area than Rainbow's Genoa
The canvas trailed in the water for a
moment but was quickly hauled in
board
The British sloop began to widen
the gap under the new sail spread
and at 1915 had clear lead of 1000
yards over Rainbow
Both were moving faster as they
neared the mark, and at 1890 were
estimated to be not over a mile away,
with their relative positions un-
changed.
At 1880 Endeavour was bearing
down on the turning buoy, holding
her long lead.
The wind has backed to the south
east, which would make for a broad
reach home instead of a beat.
Endeavour turned the mark at
1:0O:23, 2 hours, 20 minutes, % Sec
onds from the start.
Rainbow made the turn at 1:O7:03,
minutes 40 seconds behind the chal-
lenger.
A shift in the breeze toward the
southeast had converted the expected
beat home into a close reach and
both close-hauled their sheets as they
headed for home.
The breeze remained faint and tickle
and any further fading would mean
difficulty in finishing under the time
limit of five and one-half hours.
Vanderbilt soon bore away from
the course, stalking everything on find
ing favoring slant of air to keep
Rainbow footing faster.

"a strike committee is in touch with
leaders of other divisions not now out
and announcement as to them will be
made later"
These groups, which the strike COM
mittee has been empowered to order
out at its discretion, include rayon
workers, synthetic yarn workers, up
holstery, carpet and rug, knit goods
and underwear makers.
The strike committee said 1t had
been decided to authorize individual or
group settlements with mills whenever
such agreement did not interfere with
the general strike situation and that
some individual agreements already
were under consideration.
100 Mills to Open Today.
Meanwhile, Peter Van Horn, chair
man of the silk code authority, said
in New York that an effort to break
the strike in the silk, rayon and syn
thetic fabrics branch will be made
today, with about 100 mills in almost
all operating sections opening.

carried a vote of confidence from the
executive council Of the United Tex

statement by Henry I. Hartman

strike is unwarranted and aimed to
increase union strength.

main effort win be to induce the
British and the American govern
ments to reduce their navies by some
present level Of the Japanese navy.
America Il Opposed.
While 1t is not known what the
British point Of view regarding
Japanese parity will be, it Is certain
that the United States Government
will not agree to such q policy.
Because Of the probability that be-
fore the year Is over both the WASH
ington and London naval agreements
will be scrapped, the American Gov
ernment has concentrated In the last
few months on the defense Of the
West Coast. The Washington naval
agreement provides that none Of the
three Pacific powers was allowed to
increase its fortif1cations within q
certain area. This means that neither
the Philippines nor Guam nor the
Aleutian Islands could be fortified be-
yond what existed there in 1920.
The same undertaking was taken
by the British and the japanese. But
when 1t became obvious that Japan
intended to toss aside the Washing
ton and the London naval agreements
Secretary Swanson said the Navy
would necessarily consider strengthen
ing the Pacific defenses in the event
Japan decided to build her feet be-
yond existing treaty limits.
In the meantime it has become
known to the American authorities,
despite ambiguous japanese denials,
that the inundated islands, taken
after the war from Germany and in
trusted by the League of Nations to
Japan, have been fortified. This In
contradiction with the letter and the
spirit Of the Washington agreement.
The Secretary Of the Navy realized
that while the United States was living
up to the agreement, other powers were
less inclined to do so. Measures tt
counter an eventual menace were taken
by the Navy lately. More interest was
shown in Alaska than in years past
A submarine division, under command
Of Admiral Sinclair Cannon, visited
Dutch Harbor Alaska, to study the
possibility Of organizing a submarine
base in the northern waters.
A spectacular flight was organized q
few weeks ago by two naval air squad
rons, together with a massed Arm!
bombers' flight, to that Territory
These moves were described officiall!
as routine exercises.
The Navy has also been surveying
recently the Aleutian Islands and ex
tensive aerial maps were made on tn,
flight Of the 10 bombers of the Arm!
to the Far North.
All these developments indicate th'
possibility Of the United States estab
fishing an important naval base IL
Alaska, and If the London and Wash
ington treaties are scrapped, tn,
Aleutian Islands will form the new ad
vanced post Of Americas national de-
fepse.

Upon boarding the liner Hiye Maru,
on his way TO England, Yamamoto told
reporters: II am carrying in my suit

Japanese nation. If I retain that,
there is nothing the empire near fear." ."
Although the admiral did not dis
close what his suit case contained,
it is known to American and British
authorities that Japan will demand
equal global tonnage for the three
maritime powers, thus abolishing the
ratios which have given heretofore
Japan a smaller navy than that of
Great Britain and the United States.
Japan wants parity. with the other
Pacific powers either by o reduction
In the naval strength of the two
western powers or by building up Of
the japanese navy to the present
strength Of Great Britain and the

lately by q statement of the Japanese
secretary Of the navy, Admiral Osumi,
who informed the House Of Peers
that Japan would propose in London
equal global tonnage with the other
powers, but remained undecided as to
the maximum tonnage.

President Asked to Act.
BY the Associated Press.

The Federal Government is spend.
ing $2,400, 900 q month to provide
work for 10000 unemployed teachers,
but that isn't enough-new demands
for funds to keep schools open are
just about swamping the F. z. r. A.
The point is that although the
40 900 teachers do have jobs, on an
assignment to teach 100000 per-
SONS how to read and write, many
schools in small towns and rural COM
munities may have t. close unless
they get Federal aid.
The hard-pressed school districts
want President Roosevelt to bolster
their local funds with an allotment
from the discretionary relief fund at
his disposal. They hope for an early
decision.
Rural Schools Suffer.
Many country districts, dependent
on property taxes dwarfed by depres-
sion and drought, contend their
school doors cannot swing open at
all this Fall unless the Federal Gov
ernment comes to the rescue. Most
State Legislatures which might pro-
vide additional State aid are not
scheduled to meet until January.
No funds for this purpose have been
set aside by the Relief Administration
since $4,000, 900 was expended be-
tween last February and June. That
money went to schools in rural Sec
tions and to towns of less than 5000
population whose local resources were
exhausted.
In educational circles here, it Is
predicted that any aid extended by
the President to maintain the schools
this Fall and Winter will be dis
tributed by Harry L. Hopkins, the
relief administrator, after thorough
investigation of each application.

This policy is considered likely de-

ton to all public schools on basis

THE Go-GETTERS

Much of the literature addressed to
youth is surcharged with advice as to how
to become successful in life. And by "suc-
cessful" is generally meant prominent, y
or wealthy or both. Mere comfort or
happiness appears to have little place in
the popular idea of success.
Particularly in picturing the glories
of the business career do our success au-
thorities and efficiency experts stress the
virtues of aggressiveness, enterprise and
other qualities generally comprehended by
the word push One ideal held up to the
young man is the high-powered salesman,
who if ne has nothing else to sell must 'sell
himself to some eager employer at a
princely salary, made possible by short
correspondence course to develop per
sonality."
- But few thoughtful persons here and
there have begun to rebel against this ever
lasting preaching and practice of push"
They are getting weary of the ballyhoo of
the boosters, and the eternal striving to get
ahead of ones neighbor. 1t is a good sign
that few recent writer's have sensed the
futility of it all and have begun to tell us
how ridiculous it is.
Legitimate efforts to attain a COM
potency and comfort are most commend
able, but the blatant go-getter, who sub
ordinates all the finer things of life to mere
moneygrubbing and social climbing is get
ting tiresome. In his own shallow conceit
he may imagine that he is success, but to
those who have real appreciation of
values he is a rather dismal failure.

WE RESPECTFULLY SUGGEST

President Roosevelt has declared that
the government intends to continue aiding
those cities that have lost industries or
manufactures, or where they have been so
badly impaired recovery has been curbed
or retarded.
Surely, Key West will be included
among those cities. Here, all cigar fac
tories, except very small ones that are
called buckeyes" have been closed or
moved away, and the fishing and the
sponging industries are at their lowest ebb
in the history of the city.
The President did not say in what
way those cities will be helped to rid them
selves of the effects of the Depression, but
The Citizen feels confident that in no other
way can the government restore the pro-
gress of Key West and, at the same time,
raise the morale of her residents to the
highest pitch possible than by granting
loan for the construction of the proposed
Overseas bridges.
The official announcement that the
loan has been granted would change the
economic conditions in Key West over
night Those residents who have money,
chiefly in small amounts, and are carefully,
almost fearfully, spending it for the bare
necessities of life, because they. do not
know where another dollar is coming from,
would have their confidence restored, as
result of which they would buy many
things that they have needed for their con-
venience for several years but have defer
red buying for what may be termed bread
and-butter reasons.
Further, the construction of the
bridges would not only provide work for
every man in Key West who wants to work,
and thereby put an end to all classes of
government relief, but also would relieve
unemployment in Dade county to the ex-
tent of 5000 or so.
Besides, that kind of help is help with
lasting qualities; help that is constructive;
help that will not only promote the in
terests of Key West and all Florida but of
the entire country also, because the bridges
would provide the missing link of two
major national highways and two major
state highways that reach to Cuba's front
door.
That help is real help. for which the
federal government eventually would be
reimbursed, and we respectfully suggest to
the President that he give it to us.
