WHY NOT LET NAVIES STAND AS
THEY ARE?
(By BRUCE CATION


All the naval experts are predicting
stormy weather for the big naval confer
ence to be held next year.
The existing naval ratios for England,
Japan, and the United States come up for
revision then, and it looks as if the parties
are going to have hard time agreeing on
anything.
Japan wants a bigger navy; more exact
". she wants the right to build on basis
of equality with the United States and
England. And these two nations have no
intention of granting that wish.
Naval authorities have to build their
fleets in the expectation of war, of course.
But, an ordinary, landlubber of civilian
could be pardoned for supposing that the
existing arrangement, which makes war
improbable, is almost ideal.
Why? Simply because, as these three
navies now stand, no one of the three ma
tions is strong enough to risk a fight on
the other fellows home grounds.
American naval experts are just about
unanimous in the belief that the American
fleet could not successfully prosecute
war in Japanese waters. The Japanese
navy is smaller than the American, to be
sure; but distance counts heavily in naval
strategy, and the Japanese fleet is so
strong and so well-based in it's own waters
that no American admiral would dream OF
attacking it there.
The same thing is true Of England and
Japan. Any fleet that England could put
into the western Pacific would be almost
certain to be whipped by the Japanese
fleet. 1t is also true of the United States
and England.
Under existing conditions, neither Of
these nations could conduct offensive OPP
erations of real magnitude in the other
waters.
And, finally, the Japanese fleet could
not hope to carry the war to the United
States or to England, in event Of trouble
with either country.
ALI this being so, why isn't the present
situation almost ideal for all parties con-
cerned? Each nation is so strong defen-
siYely that she hardly need fear attack by
either of the others. As long as that is
tribe, here isn't much chnce that any two
of the three will go to war.
Nations don't declare war unless they
figure they have a good chance to win.
And how are you going to figure that way
when you know in advance you'll have to
stay at home to do any effective fighting?

May add TO Forest

THERE is a considerable likelihood that The
Harvey National Forest, which is located
in Fall River County in South Dakota, may
be extended.
Pending a decision by President Roosevelt
whether the forest shall be increased in size.
$4,000 acres of public land have been with
drawn from entry.
The section involved is part of total tract
of $1,000 acres of which about three-fourths
already have passed to private ownership.
The land Is of little value from an agricul-
tural point of view, but still bears a moderate
stand of trees. It is suitable for forest de-
velopment and will be turned over to the
attention of the Forest Service if the Gov
eminent sees fit to include it in the national
park development.

Led byMoses, Fled Through the Red Sea.

sound For one thing, Egypt's calendar was
far from accurate, ignoring leap year day,
for instance So it is necessary to fit our calen-
dar years to those of Egypt.
Moreover, some Egyptologsts believe that
certain dynaSties doubled up in ruling Egypt.
That is, several Kings may have ruled simul-
taneously each over limited district. If true.
that might shorten the ancient history of
Egypt by more than 400 years.
Prof. Weigan takes a short view of Egypt's
past.
He sets the date of the Exodus at 1916 BIC,
because several clews point toward that time.
A Bible reference for example, First Chronicles.
sixth chapter gives genealogies for IL or IL
generations between the Exodus and the time
of King David.
ALLOWING the usual three generations to a
century," wrote Prof. Weigall, 'this takes us
back to just about the age of Tut-ankh- Amen"
There are references in the Books of Genesis
and Exodus which also point to the same
date, as this Egyptologist interpreted their
meaning. Moreover, an inscription of Tut-ankh-
Amen mentions plaques in his reign.
Whoever the hard-hearted Pharaoh was he
probably did not follow the Israelites personally
to the Red Sea and perish there. Tut-ankh-Amen
and the rest of the "Pharaohs of the Exodus"
were buried in their royal tombs and their
mummies have been discovered.
THE Bible with its accustomed brevity says
! that Pharaoh and his horsemen pursued the
Israelites into the Red Sea. This is now taken
to mean that the King sent his men in the name
of Pharaoh to bring back the escaping band
The power of Pharaoh-not the mans be-
ieved to have pursued them.
Prof. Weigalls calculation of Bible dates
brings another Pharaoh into prominence. It
places Moses early career in the reign of one
of the most remarkable monarchs that Egypt or
any other nation ever had
That was the Pharaoh Akhnaton, who tried
to sweep Egypt into new form of religion,
and a new pattern of living, in a whirlwind
reform.
Akhnaton tried to drive out of Egypt all the
horde of local gods and their politically
maneuvering priests, and to give the people one
deity to worship. His deity was the golden
disk of the sun, and Akhnaton worshiped the

rs q poor curse that won't work both
ways. That seems to be the moral drawn
from the latest news Of Egypts most
famous Pharaoh t-ankh-Amen.
About year ago, you recall, British
Egyptologist died, and rumors buzzed that
the curse of the Pharaohs had claimed another
victim. The rumors said that this Egyptologist
Prof Arthur Weigall. had brought down royal
vengeance by disturbing the tomb OF Tut
ankh-Amen.
Common sense retorted that plenty of other
people ventured without disaster into Tut-ankh-
Amen's tomb, and that Egyptologists cannot
live forever.
Now Prof Wegalrs last book, "a Short His
tory of Ancient Egypt" has appeared. If there
ever was curse of the Pharaohs, the Egyptol-
ogist returned it neatly to the head OF Tut
ankh- Amen himself.
For Tut -ankh-Amen according to Prof Wei
gals view, was the Pharaoh of the Exodus.
That makes him one of the notoriously un-
pleasant figures of history Tut -Amen-the
hard-hearte Pharaoh of the Bible who would
not let the Israelites CO.
Such Iut-ankh-Amen is far different from
the King Tut with whom the world became
acquainted few years ago.

~ Egyptian King appeared a pathetic
youngstcr with a frail girl wife and weighted
down by all his pomp and glory. His por-
JlaltS SHOW SeIlIle, IdnuSOHle race FIOl.
Weigall has added the vivid touch that he
had remarkably long eyelashes. Through his
entire reign this Pharaoh was just in his teens
Could this childish person be the Pharaoh
before whom the aged Moses stood? Was
this boy the Pharaoh who hardened his heart
against the Israelites and would not let them
leave the country even though their leader
foretold plague after plague of troubles on
Egypt?
Prof weigal's phrase is: "The probabilities
point to Tut-ankh-Amen.
When the boy gives up the struggle to keep
the foreign Israeltes enslaved building his
temples and storehouses, it is the year 1346
BIC, according to Prof. Weigalls view. The
Israelites escape across the Red Sea, and
within the year, young Tut-ankh-Amen is dead
and his tomb is being made ready to re-
ceive him.
Tut ut-ankh-Amen is the fifth Egyptian King, at
least, to be named the Pharaoh of the Ex-
oduS. For years EgyptologiStS have disagreed
over the exact year, some 13 or IA centuries
before Christ, when the IsraeliteS left Egypt
to begin conquest of their promised land. Not
knowing the date of the Exodus, the Egyptol-
ogists naturally cannot be sure which king
was in power in Egypt at the time
h IOTHING in Bible chapters or other ancient
N writings serves concusively to identify
the Bible Pharaoh of the hard heart. There
are only straws of evidence which Egyptol-
ogists seize upon in efforts to reconstruct
the story.
Artists as we'll as Egyptologists have puzzled
over the Pharaoh whom Moses and Aaron
faced.
In painting this dramatic scene, they might
show the King as an old man or boy. They
might show him cripple or powerful ath-
lete. He might be fat or thin, dominating
person or a afraid of his wife. The
lineup of Kings nominated for the role in
eludes all these types.
There was for example, Thutmose the Third.

Egypt's conquering Napoleon, once promi-
nently mentioned likely Pharaoh of the
Exodus. Israelite leaders brave indeed
if they stood unfiinching before Thutmose's
piercing gaze.
Then there was Merenptah, quite a contrast
to the dynamic Thutmose Merenptah
old and bald and fat when he reached the
throne His father, Remeses the Second had
seemed likely to live forever.
Perhaps more often than any other Pharaoh.
Merenptah has been mentioned as Pharaoh OF

wrapped this Kings mummy some years ago.
he knew that missionaries would be interested.
SO he invited some to be present. To the keen
interest of his audience. he pointed out calcifed
or stony patches on the great blood vessel lead
ing from the heart
This Pharaoh suffered from form of hard
ening of the arteries which did practically give
him hard heart" More to the point, the dis
ease was such that it would have affected his
emotional state making him sluggish, obstinate
at thought of changing policies, in fact just the
type for the "hard-hearted' Pharaoh of the
Bible account.
I IOWEVER, another Pharoah has recently
! ! been thrust into prominence a candidate
for the Bible role.
This is Amenhotep the Second suggested by
several British archeologistS who have been ex-
cavating Bible cities. Amenhotep vigor-
ously alive as old Merenptah was inert. No man
in Egypt could draw Amenhotep's bow, so in
scriptions of his time admiringly declare.
Even a King with short, crippled leg has
been brought into the picture possible Bible
Pharaoh. If the unfortunate King Siphtah
was this character his Queen probably had
more to say about letting the Lsraelites go than
he did She was Egypt" during that brief reign.
But Prof Wegall discarded all these possi-
bilities and named Tut-ankh-Amen.
It was Prof. Weigalls method of reckoning
Egyptian dates that has placed Tut-ankh- Amen
in an unhappy spot.
Some exact dates in the later periods are
established. So the earlier Kings can be more
or less satisfactorily dated by adding the long
string of years in the reigns preceding we'll
established history. Altogether Egypt had $50
Pharaohs.
But the problem Is not as simple as 1t may
