navy appear superior to what IL
really is. Neither can it be said
these tables are too old to be re-
liable since they. are 'as of Novem-
ber l., 1898.
Table vi, page 1900 gives sum-
mary OF ships built, being built, or
projected on November 1,,'1933, as
follows: u. s., total tons, ,320,-
72O; British Empire, I,296,S64;
Japan, Ss2,37O. att''.s
Does this table make It appear
that our navy is inferior to either
the navy of Great Britain; or the
navy of Japan? Nor is this table
able to tell all the truth, for since
congress met last month the annual
naval appropriation bill has been
passed which included money for
the building of 20 naval vessels,
and then the navy department went
to the PWA and secured $238,0O0,-
600 additional for the building Of
80 more vessels. af3
The taxpayers and these of us
who hate this dominat on of the
navy department in our govern
ment could stand all this, but what
did the house do Tuesday, Jan. 80?
Nothing except pass the Vinson bill
wh ch, if passed by the senate, will
allow the president to replace the
rest of the ships in the navy even
including the large battleships
which have just been "modernized''
at cost of millions of dollars.
These ships are the ones which Ad-
miral Sims says would only be safe
up the Mississippi river as far as
they could go If an enemy ap-
preached our coast. Worst of all is
the fact that no limit is placed on
the amount of money which the
president may spend under this
bill. The navy department.; acting
through a president favorable to n
large navy, could spend not mil
ions for new ships, but billions.
1t is very interesting to note that
the three ship building companies
which hired William B. Shearer to-
wreck the Geneva disarmament con-
ference are the three companies
which have been given practically
all the contracts for new vessels.
There must have been several
Shearers in the capitol for the last
few weeks. ~
Until the taxpayers who pay for
armaments make themselves heard
in Washington as loudly and as
plainly as those who profit by ar
maments, this thing will go on.
Eventually there can be but one.

GRAPES Almost Universal

The original home of grapes seems
to have been Asia, but they now grow
in northern Africa, southern Europe,
and in North and South America.
Grapes were introduced into France
and Italy, presumably by the Phoeni
clans, and were taken to England by
the Romans; the Dutch carried the
plants to South Africa and the Span
ish brought them to America.

Big Mouth Has No Value

Although the mouth of the baleen
whale, the largest creature In the
world, is so large that a man could
stand upright in it, its throat is scarce
ly large enough to admit mans fist
and the tube by means of which its
food reaches it's stomach is about the
size of a walking stick. Since this
huge animal is toothless, 1t can there
fore eat only very tiny creatures.
