COUNTY FAIR
s-BCAttDOFF'
But Fair Directors Assure
One Will be Staged
Next Year

The directors of the Henderson
County Fair association announce
that the fair will not be held this
year, and in explanation make the
following statement:
"The Fair Association had ar
ranged to establish fair grounds
on the site of the old golf course
on the Asheville highway and the
work of erecting buildings was al
ready under way when the COM
mittee for the location of the
States sanitarium visited Hen
derson county and took the site
under consideration as the loca-
ton for the State hospital. The
fair directors stepped aside and
announced that if the site was de-
sired for the location of the hos
pital all claims of the association
on the property would be waived.
"The hospital committee has not
announced it's decision, and the
delay caused by this development
would now make it impossible to
erect buildings and equip the fair
grounds in time for this years
exhibit, if the committee finally
decides not to locate the hospital
in Henderson county.
SIN view of this situation, the
fair directors decided to postpone
the building of fair grounds until
next year. If the State hospital is
not located on the golf course
site, that will be utilized next
year as the site of the far
grounds. If the hospital is located
on this site, another site will be
secured for the fair grounds.
"The directors of the Fair as
ISOLATION assure the people OF the
county that the fair will be OPP
Grating next year, at the gUil
course site or elsewhere in the
county"

WASHINGTON, Aug. /. (UP)
The United States will be pre-.
pared to match. other naval pow.
ers gun for gun on outlying naval
bases as we'll as ship for ship in
their navies in event the present
naval limitation treaties lapse,
Secretary of the Navy Claude A.
Swanson indicated yesterday.
He repeated that the United
States navy long has had under
consideration plans for the estab-
lishment of naval bases on the
American possessions in the Pa
cific as sequel to other powers
indication of desire to strike
the treaty letters from naval con-
struction.
The present treaties, which ter
inmate on December 81, 1886, at
Japan's request, forbid the forti-
fication of the Aleutian Islands
off the Alaskan coast; Wake,
Midway and Guam islands in the
South Pacific. The same treaties

status. .
The, prospect that the. United
States may lose the Philippines as
a home base for the U. S. Aasiatic
fleet as a result of their prospec-
tive independence may require
the U. S. navy to look elsewhere,
Swanson said.
This might lead to plans for de-
veloping powerful sea bases on
some of the other Pacific posses
sions. particu arly on Guam and
the Aleutian islands.
Officials here anticipate that
when the Washington treaty ex-
pires Japan may resume where
she left off in 1921 with her am
bilious program for fortifying
the oBnin islands, lying 500 miles
south of Yokohama on almost
direct line toward Guam. The
original p ans called for trans
forming the Bonins into Japan
csc sea base rivaling the great
Singapore base of Britain. The
signing of the Washington treaty
interrupted the work, and the is
lands are only partially fortified.
All sources here indicated that
Americas tentative plans to be-
gin fortification of the Pacific
possessions will depend largely
upon the action of other naval
powers. Swanson said the ques-
ton of outlying sea bases newt
ably must be taken up by any in
ternational naval conference call
ed in the future.
