IL of West Virginia and Nc
Farlane of Texas showed how the
cruel, dictatorial administration
kept Congress here all summer
and indicated the level which
congressional poetry reaches in
August, during debate on the bill
to investigate food distribution:
Mr.. Randolph Saying that he
quoted certain lines during the
Guffey bill DEBATE and, since no
one cried him down, will now
quote them again, as they again
seem apropos):
THE doctor heals and the lawyer
pleads,
"And the miner follows precious
leads;
but this or that, whate'er be-
fall,
"The farmer, he must feed them
ALL"
Mr.. McFarlane (begging- per-

''in' keeping with thought and
subjectD:.
"Princes and loris may flourish
and may fade,
"a breath can make them, as q
breath hath made.
"But a bold yeomanry, the coun-
try pride,
"When once destroyed can ne'er

Mr. Randolph: II thank the
gentleman: and in this connec-
ton may / add that perhaps the
deliberations of this body might

Colson popped up in the Philip
pine back in 1920 and there are
few officials in the capital to-
day who knew him then. But
war department authorities were
impressed with his work and
marked him for better things.
In 1920 he was shunted to
Haiti where he became deputy

was returning to the United

WASHINGTON. - You can al

10 the shipbuilders say Senate
probers.
After all, shipbuilders beat the
drum for "a big navy and it's a
case of nobleSse oblige when the
navy - according to the Senate
munitions committee, at least
fails to use the low navy yard
cost of battleship building as a
yardstick to force lower bids;
sends its ships abroad as sales
samples to oblige shipbuilders,
despite State Department pro-
tests; helps prevent competition
by discouraging new private ship
yards; doesn't find out anything
about profits and costs; gives up
its right to reject cruisers; and
even. on occasion, gives Congress
figures sh OWN g shipbuilders'
profits on naval vessels at about
80 per cent of what they really
are.
The latest congressional COM
mittee to pan the navy is the
House labor subcommittee, which

"A SSISTANT Secretary of the

GREAT TO FIND WORLD YET HOLDS

lBv BRUCE CATION

. ocean claim that they have discovered a
mysterious island which causes all ap-
preaching ships to change their course
Some weird kind of power or influence
emanates from the island, they report, 50
that a ship which leads directly at 1t VIII
presently find itself, for no apparent rea-
son, travelling in the opposite direction.
Before some other expedition gets up
there and explodes this eerie theory, II
ought to be pointed out that this is the sort
of thing modern exploration needs to make
it exciting
There never was, time in world history
when explorers went out so elaborately
,eaaiupseta3 In fdF discovery and for pub
iSizfieN HEIR eoveries; and there also
srs.s4er Was a tine when there was so little
left for them to discover.
Exploration has begansto take no the as
poets of a routine jobyand the glamour has
just about gone outer it,
But islands that turn ships off their route
and remain UNEMPLOYED because some mys-
terious. invisible rforceqkeeps people from
getting at them that now, is something
like it. If we can justsges2 few more such
stories, our Byrds and ilkinses will be-
come as romantic and Yiespresque as Fro
bisher and Magellan.eS };SR
1t isn't entirely raass1 tor jokes, real
": this decline in the calling of the
explorer. We sometiMe EN- to know
little too much about th2Wesfd for our own
good. 1t has no surprises left for us. Our
imaginations don't get enough exercise,
and that is bad for us. <
There was time when people could
paint any kind of picture they liked about
the lands beyond the horizon. An imagi-
native geographer, for instance, could de-
clare soberly that central Africa was IN
habited by race of men who had their
heads beneath their shoulders, or he could
go into exact details about some city far
up the Amazon that was paved with solid
gold; and nobody could contradict him,
because nobody had even been there or
was likely to go there in the near future.
That sort of thing did not simply pro-
vide interesting reading matter for the fire
side. It'tickled the imagination and stirred
the spirits, and made men1feel that they
: lived in limitless world wherein anything
was possible to a man who dared greatly
enough. L f ." ., =. ...-'''
1t gave men a sense of moving amid
wonders and miracles, and it was good for
the soul.
But now we are too wise. A yarn like
this one about the Arctic island is the most
we can stand, and we don't more than half
way believe it.
We have exhausted the worlds physical
possibilities. AS a result, we are restless
and bored without knowing exactly why.
