NAVY DAY

TN 1916 President Wilson laid down a naval pro-
gram designed to safeguard America. BY 1921,
the United States Navy was the equal of any and
babe fair in time to dominate the seas
But the United States does not wish to dominate
the seas 1t stood for world peace based on law
and Justice So calling a world conference. it
scrappad more warshpS than the other powers COM
bined in order to bring about naval reduction and
limitation.
Ever since this country has lived up to the letter
and spirit of the Washington Treaty But others
have chaled under its limitations, and now prepare
to abandon it.
Early in December at London another naval
conference is to be held. But the atmosphere will
be far different. America longer has the lead.
This time she can not induce agreement by offering
to scrap as much all the rest put together. Brit
ain plans to increase not reduce, her fleet. Japan
demands an armada second to none. Germany and
Russia are increasing their squadrons and France
and Italy will certainly keep pace.
So as Americans observe Navy Day today the
outlook is far from bright. We seem about to be
caught in a stampede which have sacrificed much
to prevent.
Without for a moment abandoning hope of ulti-
mate mutual disarmament, and without ceasing to
work toward that end, America has no option but to
keep to the spirit of the treaty of 1921.
We want no part of the naval race about to be-
gin We have proved that. But by way of national
insurance, even for the sake Of world peace. ours
should continue to be what, since 1921, has COM
monty been described as a treaty navy"-a navy
fairly proportional to the size of others.
P s. 1t is not essential to this policy, how
ever. that the government continue to pay exorbi-
tant prices for its warships.

GOVERNMENT INTERNES

. OCKEFELLER foundation men combing the
canpuses for outstanding college graduates to
send to Washington for training in government adj
ministratlon. Henceforth, each year, 80 such in
ternes' will be financed and trained in the capital
For year they will act nonsalaried assistants to
high officials, receiving academic credit toward
degree in practical government administration.
Here may be the beginning of something long
needed in the united States trained personnel in
government. In England government service offers
honorable life careers to the best of its young men
and women. Ours offers only temporary and inse-
cure jobs to those of administrative capacity The
result is that the ADLER young who do go into
government service it only stepping stone
to private careers.
Our government now handling billions and en-
terng nearly every phase of social activity, should
have the services of the nations brightest and best
trained minds. With democracy under fire every
where, it can not afford the waste and plumbers
of inefficient administration.

said that would never sanction this country going

The United States has now stated its attitude
D lightly or wrongly but in accordance with
N American procedure, we have remained out Of
the League. Nevertheless, in line with the pact Of
Paris, this country only has acted to discourage
the Itao-Ethiopian war; but acted "in advance Of
action by other governments"
War anywhere, Secretary Hull Observed adversely
affects all other countries. The United States does
not wish to be drawn into 1t also does not wish
to contribute to a prolongation of war 1t there
fore undertakes mot only to exercise its moral infu
in favor of peace throughout the world, but to
contribute in every practicable way within the lrni
tation of our foreign policy to that end"
In short, the United States will not and can not
within the policy fixed by Congress, plunge into a
war the other side of the world to help enforce
League sanctions But it will do nothing to impede
enforcement

it's attitude clearer Geneva and London have their

HE SOUNDS AS IF HE'S
AN ANTI-NEW DEALER
By Anti RA

BY AntiNRA
Oddly enough, I am starting to
have a new admiration for Gen.
Hugh. S.. Johnson, whose column I
have been reading for several days.
Johnson. I see, has changed his
mind about what a wonderful thing
the New Deal is and has joined the
ranks of the men who can see things
in their true light.
The New Deal means destruction
and the sooner We can get an Ad-
ministration in office dedicated to
the sane and normal way of doing
things the better off we will all be.
Business is better, yes, but not be-
cause of any New Deal measure,
but rather in spite of them.
If Gen. Johnson will keep up his
good work, he will win back a lot of
the following he lost during the
NRA fizzle.

A Song
BY ETHEL III. ALLEN

My love for you is precious thing,
Brimming my cup, urging me sing;
Like heady old wine
It makes the world mine
My love for you is precious thing
My love for you is tragic thing,
Speeding my JOY on desolate wing;
Muting my song
Everything wrong
My love for you is tragic thing
But, whether I weep, or whether
sing,
Be I so sad or so gay;
This you must know
Wherever you 60
My love for you is the loveliest
thing!

HERE'S A COMPLAINT FOR
MR.. RAILWAY co.


BY R. w.
Our up-and-coming Street Rail-
way Co., in its wild rush to modern
ize its equipment and service, has
let slip by the boards, in my opinion,
one of the first rules of good serv-
vice-good will
I realize that the company is NOV
ing heaven and earth to give In
dianapolis the best transportation
system in the United States and
thousands of our citizens are proud
of our new trackless trolleys, our
new Smooth-riding street cars and
the new, fast buses. We are proud,
too, of the courteous service given
by employees.
But what reputation the COM
pany's buses are getting on heavily
travelled thoroughfares!
When the company obtained per-
mission to run its buses up N. Me-
ridian-st, I had the impression that
the buses would not clog up the
traffic, nor cause a traffic hazard;
that they would travel in the lane
nearest the curb and never hog the
road.
But the N. Meridian-st BUSES,
and the buses on other lines, too,
are now doing the grandest job of
road-hogging I have ever seen. The
buses sweep up Meridian-st at 40
and As miles an hour, weaving in
and out of traffic and oftentimes
straddling the two center lanes, q
definite hazard to all traffic.
Number One job on the Street
Railways program this week should
be to inform its bus drivers to stick
to the inside lane.

Well, if Mr.. Peters would do

builders, who formely were the
customers Of these lending insti-
buttons, he may be assured of a

every line of business run over

Emergencies and frontiers au- tomatically bring out in high relief those qualities of good or bad in human nature which a civilized en- vironment relegates to the back ground. But the qualities remain, and if we had another frontier, l am satisfied we should adapt ourselves quickly to conquer it. There are fellows here in Alaska just as strong as robust, as determined and as am bilious to make good as ever. They are just as willing to sacrifice to get ahead as we were.
