Gables said the Liverpool wheat
market was under the influence of
cheaper offerings from Australia and
an improved political outlook. End
of-the-month liquidation of December
contracts was also indicated as in
progress both at Liverpool and here.
The chief reason given was that ac-
ceptances Of tenders on December con-
tracts are scheduled to begin on Mon
day.
Associated more or less with further
weakness that developed at times in
the Chicago wheat market were Paris
suggestions Of a conference between
British and French premiers to dis

before an oil embargo is applied
against Italy. There were also advices
that recent rains were encouraging
wheat planting in Western and South
western Kansas. Thousands of farm

ly the last few days, since it became
assured there was ample moisture to
start the crop.
Corn and oats declined with wheat.

It is a serious reflection upon
the intelligence of Congress
that some of its members seem
to have discovered only within
the last few weeks that the
defense of the Hawaiian Is
lands is the key to the defense
of the United States in the
Pacific.
This fact has been known
to every President since
Hawaii was annexed to the
United States. 1t has been on
record in the War and Navy
Departments since that time,
1t has been emphasized year
after year in the recommended
tions of the high command of
the Army and Navy to the
President and to the commit
tees of both Houses.
Such defenses as have al
ready been constructed in
Hawaii represent an effort to
put this theory of defense into
practice. The only reason the
defenSes in Hawaii are insult
ficient at the present time is
because Congresses in recent
years have refused to author
lie the appropriations necessary
to complete the defense of
Hawaii.
And the refusal of Congress
to appropriate in recent years
for the defense of Hawaii is
chiefly due to the fact that
pork barrel politicians in the
House, both Republican and
Democratic, have for the last
10 years defeated National De-
Tense programs which they
could not capitalize by eXpendi-
lures in their own districts.
SfUhNS ADNACE
The House Committee on
Military Affairs has repeatedly
ignored sound military "ecom-
mendations and has attempted
to trespass upon the conStitu-
tional premises of the EXecu-
tive. Its members, for the most
part, have refused to interest
themselves in sound theories of
National Defense except in so
far as the execution of these
theories could be compelled to
distribute political pork among
the constituents they represent.
No constructive legislation
has come from the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs in
nearly 10 years. The work
which ought to have been init
ated by this committee in the
House has largely devolved upon
the Senate Committee on Mill
tary Affairs. The Senate COM
mittee has refused to play poll
tics with the National Defense.
It's members, with a few ex-
ceptions, have rendered patri-
otto service in the considera-
ton of National Defense meas
ureS and have disposed of them
without partisan consideration.
At the moment the House
