Italy ReaffirmS U. S. Need
For Large Capital Ships
Bu James T. Williams, Jr.

may be brought into action by
an enemy from his nearby
bases or home port.
"'POwer of survival demands
certain major characteristics
that must be incorporated into a
ship if it is to fulfill its proper
function. The finished ship is
a compromise of all the weights
assigned to each characteristic so
that its aggregate weight or
standard tonnage shall not ex-
ceed the maximum allowed for
its particular category. The
weights assigned to battery, ma
chinery, armOr, fuel, etc., must
be so coOrdinated that each will
give maximum efficiency with
out prejudice to the others.
"The indispensable elements
of power of survival in ship
are: Offensive power, defensive
power, radius of action, speed
and habitability.
snip beGGer FOrGl1le0
Each of these should be the
maximum possible without undue
sacrifice of any of the others,
having due regard to the strate-
geticaI and tactical functions
of each category of vessel"
In deciding to build two $4,000
ton capital ships. the Italian
government is following the line
of reasoning that has long de-
termined American naval policy.
In a $4,000 ton ship, which is
the maximum tonnage allowed
under the Washington Treaty, it
is possible, due to the width of
beam, to have five skins between
the outer water and the vitals
of the ship, with efficient spac-
ing between skins. With so many
watertight skins, the ship is the
better fortified to sustain the ex-
plosion of torpedoeS or airplane
bombs against the underwater
body.
Italy, like the United States
and unlike Great Britain. has
few naval bases. Italy therefore
requires as the backbone of her
fleet the largest type of capital
ship. Premier Mussolini knows
what President Roosevelt knows,
what Admiral Jones and the
General Board of the Navy have
long contended, that when you
reduce the size of a capital ship,
you reduce its power Of sur
viVal." This is why the larger
type is so necessary for the
United States and italy and not
so necessary for nations like
Great Britain possessing well
located bases or home ports
close to the areas of operation.
The announcement from Rome
may we'll remind the American
people how fortunate they are
in having in the White House
today a President who knows all
about the Navy.

Regardless Of how members of Congress may look upon the
aspirations Of the people of Washington for an effective voice
IN their government they should give prompt and favorable
attention to the pending bill which would regulate the conduct
OF presidential primaries in the National Capital.
Identical bills to this effect introduced the Senate and
House several weeks but yet little attention has
been paid them by the respective District committees
probable that members the committees feel that the

The Human Side of the News
Tragic History of the House of Hapsburg
By EdlUi11 C.. Hill

March q, 1922, in the night,
the 10-year-old boy was sum-
moned to see his father receive
the last sacraments.
Once more the stricken fami-
ly's dreary trek began. A cas-
tie at Bilboa, another at San
Sebastian, a small house at
Lequeitio, school days at the
Benedictine Grammar School,
at Clairvaux, in Luxembourg.
Then a move to Steenockerzeel,
in Belgium, while he attended
the University of Louvain and
took the extended course that
q future king needs.
A fascinating capital, Vienna,
even in it's decline murdered
by the Great War. Once the
most brilliant center of Europe,
gayer even than Paris, it knows
the throb of tragedy.
In an obscure side street is
the old, old Church of the
Capucines. There came to the
door a young monk of the
Capucine Order.
He showed me the lovely
white marble chapel where
Francis Joseph lies with the
murdered Empress Elizabeth,
and their unhappy son, Rudolph,
who killed himself and his
sweetheart. He showed me the
great bronze catafalque of the
Empress Maria Theresa. And he
came finally to a tumble of
coffinS, one piled carelessly
upon another. And one of these
was the coffin of L'Aiglon, the
unhappieSt child that ever lived.
Frightful Curse
And I thought of Waterloo
and the ruin of Napoleon's
dreams, and the exile of the
little son and of Napoleon's
lonely and embittered death on
the Island of St. Helena. and
finally of the death of L'Aiglon,
childhood wrecked and youth
betrayed by Austrian kin who
could not forgive\him for being
the son of the man who had
Inundated them. Such stories
are deathlesS.
The curse of the HapSburgs
has worked for a hundred years.
1t dripped like vitriol from the
lips Of the Countess Karolyi, a
Hungarian lady, whose son had
been executed by the Austrian
government. Facing the EN-
peror Francis Joseph, then a
young man, she spoke these
frightful words: MAY heaven
and hell blast your happiness!
May your family be extermi-
mated! May your children be
brought to ruin and may your
life be wrecked! And yet may
you live on in lonely, unbroken
and horrible grief to tremble
when you recall the name
Karolyi!"

Little Chancellor Engelbert
Dollfuss rules the roost in Aus
tria, but the little birds sing a
song that the Hapsburgs are
coming back. With deep-seated
and probably incurable enmity
between the Nazis and the So
cialistS, a rift and a hatred
which carries with it always the
menace Of riot and bloodshed, if
not of actual civil war, perhaps
a restoration of the old mon.
archy might be the way out.
Prince Otto of Hapsburg; heir
of the ancient throne, comes to
his twenty-first birthday with
considerable expectations. Tire
lessly working in his interest is
his extraordinary mother, the
Ex-EmpreSS Zita, Italian born.
Zita will go down in history as
one Of the most striking figures
of these times.
She was born g. Bourbon
Parma. Her grandfather, the
Duke of Parma, was murdered.
Her father was driven out when
he was II. She grew up in the
hard school OF. poverty and ad.
versity, scared to dazzling
heights for a brief time as Aus
trian empress, and was hurled
suddenly and violently into pow
erty and adversely. But there is
a flame in the heart of this frail
woman which will not let her
rest.
Cup of Bitterness
Twice she drove her exiled
emperor-husband into attempts
to get back his lost Hungarian
throne. She faced the danger
with him. She shared his exile
until he died. Then she began
training her eldest son. To her,
he is ever and always a king.
Otto was born with many gifts
"a quick, receptive mind and
good looks, which have made
him the handSomest, most ro-
mantic-appearing prince in the
world. But he found also, a cup
of bitterness and tears to drink.
He was born at Wartholz Castle.
November 20, 1912.
His father was then a simple
major in the Austrian army
only one of a shoal of arch
dukes. The pistols which killed
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir
to the Austro-H Hungarian throne,
in Sarajevo, June 20, 1914, there
by bringing about the World
War. suddenly shot the baby
Otto'S father into the position Of
heir apparent.
When Otto was four, the old
mans death made ArChduke
Karl the new emperor, and Otto
became crown prince.
In 1918, at the age of six, he
saw Vienna in the throes of
revolution. A short sojourn in a
a castle and then escape to
Switzerland.

Italy will lay down the keels
this year of two giant capital
ships of $4,000 tons each, &C.
cording to an official announce
ment from Rome.
President Roosevelt has good
reason to be gratified by this
decision. 1t is notice to the
world that Premier MuSSolini
shares the belief of President
Roosevelt that the capital ship
is still the backbone of the fleet
and that the giant capital ship
is more effective and more eco
nomical for certain nations than
the smaller type.
One of the first decisions de-
clared by Mr.. Roosevelt after
he entered the White House was
in favor of the development of
naval air force and in favor of
the maintenance of our naval
Strength in capital ships. This
decision squared with the unan-
imous opinion of the General
Board of the Navy over "a long
period of years.
What President Roosevelt was
quick to see was that because
the British navy finds a smaller
type of capital ship better suit
ed to its defense plans than
the larger type, some Americans
had jumped to the conclusion
that this country should imi-
tate the British navy, instead
of adhering to traditional Amer
lean policy of building a Navy
equal to the strongest in every
class of combatant ship of the
type best suited to American de-
fense. Z,
Explains Weight Basis
President Coolidge we'll under
stood this fact. The delegation
which he sent to the Geneva
Conference of 1927 was headed
by a statesman of the Navy
who well understood this fact
Admiral Hilary P. Jones. And
never was the American case
more ably presented at any con-
ference in modern times than
this delegation presented it. 1t
was because President Coolidge
refused to surrender the right
of the United States, within
limitations agreed upon at the
Washington Conference, to build
the type of ships which this
country requires instead of the
type of ship which the British
require, that the Geneva Con-
ference failed to force an Amer
lean surrender.
"The vital necessity in our
Ships" as Admiral Jones has ex-
planned, "is power of survival
This means not only ability to
reach, operate in and return
from distant areas in possibly
wounded condition, but also the

Mccormack responded:
"The gentleman does not in

Carpenter sought to continue

Postal officials, headed by
Postmaster General James A.
Farley, gathered recently with
a crowd of notables to formally
dedicate the newly completed
IL million dollar Post Office
Building.
Mr.. Farley said:
"In dedicating this building
let us also dedicate ourselves
to the high purposes of gov
ernment and the exalted pa
triOtism exemplified by our
great President, whose faith in
our institutions has never faI.
tered; whose wise and cOu-
rageOuS leadership has carried us
from the depths to the heights
from which we can see the
dawn of a new day!'
The President, in whose ad-
ministration the Post Office
Building was started, was none
other than Herbert Hoover,
late of the White House.
One speaker at the dedica-
ton ceremonies was Senator
Kenneth D. McKellar Of Ten.
nessee, chairman of the Senate
Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads.
The Senator lauded the Off.
cials of the Post Office Depart.
ment who were at the cere.
mony.
Said he:
"There is one of them, how
ever, who has been denoted.
"The people of Wyoming
made him a Senator"
He referred to former Assist
ant Postmaster General Joseph
O'Mahoney who now occupies
Senate seat.

Bu John SnUre, Jr.

Talkative Tom Heflin, former
Senator from Alabama, is in
town in search of employment.
Mr.. Heflin, whose rotundity
applies to both his figure and
speech, may have difficulty in
finding a job.
Although Tom is not "chOOSey"
about the work, he will have to
overcome the opposition of two
men from his own State who
have been his political enemies.
They are Senators Hugo L.
Black and John Bankhead.
Tom also was rather caustic
in his senatorial days. Many a
man still feels the effect of the
tongue-lashing that Tom gave
him.
Following his defeat in an at
tempt to keep his Senate seat,
Tom sought election to the
House, which is the branch of
Congress in which he first
served. The people willed other
wise, despite the fact that
Heflin extolled the Administra-
ton.
Now, he hopes that he can
find a position that does not
require the general approval of
the electors.
Whispering tongues seek to
attribute Senator Harry F.
Byrd's opposition to the con-
firmation of Rexford G. Tug
we'll as Undersecretary of the
Treasury to ulterior motives.
They say that Byrd is op-
posed to Tugwell's program for
the AAA because he believes it
would injure his business as
one of the greatest apple ship
pers of the country.
Such reports are erroneous.
Byrd is an independent man
and, although he has been
silent since he arrived in the
Senate, he decided it was time
to voice his opinion on Tug
we'll and proposed amendments
to the Agricultural Adjustment
Act.
He objected to increasing the
power of the AAA because he
did not favor it himself and
his farmer constituents had
been advising him against its
provisions.
Byrd is like many other peO-
pie. They disapprOve of the
agricultural remedies" pro-
posed by the brain truSters.
Members of Congress are
feeling the strain of the long
session that is about to be con-
cluded. Worn nerves are evi-
dent as heated arguments fea-
ture debates in both branches
Of Congress.
Typical of the irritability of
members was the recent clash
between alert Representative
John Mccormack, of Massachu-
sets, who has been exceedingly
active on the special committee
investigating Nazi agencies and
others that are flooding the
country with subversive propa-
ganda, and Representative
Terry M. Carpenter, of Ne
braska.
The clash came when McCor-
mack appealed for passage Of
a resolution authorizing addi-
tional expenditures by the COM
mittee.
