 Ono reason why Hucy Longs colleagues seldom care to tanRle with him is his devastating dis. regard of tho usual amenities Of senatorial courtesy.

Fight War With Courtesy

It is assumed by millions, in America and in Japan, that war between the two countries is inevitable But wars are never inevitable. They come from conflicting nterests-territoria and economic--anj from bad manners. The manners are as important as the other causes.

There's something in the power of sug. gastion after all Some months back while Congress was wrestling with the complexities of the New Deal the delegate from Alaska, A. J. Dimond rose to his feet one day to point out the fact that should unfriendly advances towards the United States be made by nations to the west of us doubtless their point of first concentration would be the Aleutian Islands and Alaska. No adequate defenscs are set up in either the islands or Alaska for repression of the invader This brought to light for some of us the knowledge that we do not fortify the Aleutians because of international agreements. We agreed that their pres. ent status be maintained under terms of the Washington naval treaty. But 1t is said that establishment of bases could he secured without violating the treaty. May be not in words, but certainly in spirit
 Wonder where all these defense runors are coming from anyway? It's natural for Alaska to become alarmed when she hears that she will be the first United States territory to fall before the enemy's advance. But so far as we can sec there isn't yet any enemy formidable enough to start marching on the good old U. s.

It's rather sad to learn that Old Iron sides has been decommissioned. It seems only few days ago that children of this nation were sending in their pennies to re. claim the rotting hulk of this grand old vessel that sailed to such glorious victories on the seas in our growing days.

With a brief ceremony the other day it's flag was lowered and it's personnel transferred to other points Three years ago Old Iron sides began tour of our coast.

IL seems to be pretty well established in Washington now that Rex Tugwell, the brainiest of the bran-trusters is to be given his official title of Under-Secretary of Agriculture Confirmation has been held up for some time in committee, but it is believed now that all opposition has been melted However it really doesn't make much difference what title they give Professor Tugwell.
