Sixteen.Inch Guns.

Japan strikes q fresh blow at naval
limitation by her refusal to consider
reduction Of the maximum OF biR-gun
salibers from sixteen to fourteen inches.
IN an eleventh hour effort to SALVAGE at
hast that feature OF qualitative limita-
taon, the United States recently asked
Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan
whether they would be willing to restrict
major naval weapons to the lower size
It was tacitly understood that all Of
them except Japan were favorable to
such plan. Formal efforts to adopt it
came to naught at last years London
naval conference, because Of japanese
objections, but Washington remained
family hopeful that the desired arrange
ment might be attained by subsequent
private negotiation and before new
capital ship construction WAS undertaken
b. this country.
The Toxic government now indicates
finally that the suggestion makes no ap-
peal to 1t, because, in japanese opinion,
mere reduction OF gun calibers would
not achieve real disarmament. The
japanese continue to ipsist that this can

Judiciary Report Indicates

Thank God freedom has not failed US,
but has asserted itself and found express
sion In the historic document presented
to the Senate Of the United States by the
Judiciary Committee OF that body con-
demning in unanswerable logic the pro-
posal to pack the Supreme Court and
destroy its independence This report
Is clarion declaration OF freedoms re-
birth. and gives assurance that govern
ment in these United States at least, OF
the people, by the people, for the people,
shall not perish from the earth. The au-
thors OF this heartening document have
lengthsned the long line OF martyrs
heroes and patriots who have fought the
battles for human liberty through the
ages, and shed immortal luster upon
themselves as the benefactors OF the

will fully realize the debt they owe these

curtailment. Agreement on that basis,
applying to either total tonnage or num-
ber Of warships, proved unattainable At
London, chiefly on account OF Japan's
unwillingness to accept continuation OF
the feet ratios which assigned her fixed
inferiority to Great Britain and the
United States. The result was the scrap
ping OF the old 5-c3 margin Of
strength among the three powers in
question, leaving each Of them virtually
at liberty to build ~ many ships and OF
whatever types 1t suits their purses and
purposes to lay down, although there is
an Arklo- Franco -Amsrican underStand-
ing to limit capital ships to 5000 tons.
The United States, 1t Is indicated, will
now in all probability proceed to arm its
two new battleships with sixteen inch
guns. Some Of our older vessels are
already equipped with such batteries.
The British some time ago announced
their intention of mounting fourteen
inch guns on their latest type battle
ships There have been unofdcial re-
ports that Japan Is thinking OF using
eighteen-inch guns on the ships to be
constructed under her projected Ave-
year program. 1t Is regrettable that
Toxic has not seen At to fall in with
suggestions for diminished caliber.
The difference in cost between ships
carrying sixteen-inch guns and those
mounting guns OF fourteen inches Is not
\ particularly important item, measured
alongside the $50 100000 or s75,0oo, 900
gross expenditure represented by 4 mod
ern battleship, nor would the lower limit
Of itself constitute any considerable ad-
vance toward naval disarmament. 1t
would, nevertheless, be trend In that
direction. 1t would keep alive the prin-
ciple and psychology OF disarmament.
which now, unfortunately. appear to
have gone with the wind. These late
developments unfortunately supply all
too graphic evidence that the world
naval race Is on again in old-time in
tensity The revived competition is not
OF Uncle Sans making.

Cure Potential Criminals
Through Corrective Work

To the Editor Of The star:
Curing the criminal depends largely
upon diagnosing his ailment II the sub
]ect Is vicious. cold d-blooded, heartless
type. or an habitual offender, We must
classify him As an incurable criminal
with dismal prognosis, and for him we
have but one recourse: Permanent con-
finement or supervision.
Society should not look to penologists
and parole boards to combat crime-the
twig has been bent and the damage Is
too often irremediable-but to the COM
munity and the family. Environment is
everything. Correct the environment
and cure the potential criminal!
The community must attack through
It's social workers, health clinics, slum
clearance. boys clubs and youth guild
ance organizations. and the family must
aid the cause through enlikhtenink influ-
ence and daily example to the growing
child. H. c. WILLIAMS.

buster Of Summer storm. for not every
one tells the truth in this matter more
than in many others.
One who persists In stating that he IL
not at all afraid of thunder and
lightning ought to keep In mind just
what he is saying. The history OF the
race reveals q long fear. It WAS only 4
little less than 1000 years ago that one
OF the zrost distinguished Romans wrote
long philosophical poem to prove.
among many other things. that man had
nothing to fear from lightning.
More Thousands Of years which had
preceded him told mankind that 1t had
4 great deal to be afraid Of: the basic
fear is = real one, even today, based ON
science, rather than religion.
We know the tremendous voltaees in
volved, We have 4 right to be appre-
hensive.
Perhaps the best basic protection the
timid may take is to shut every window
and door in the house during a storm.
There seems to be no reasonable doubt
that the tendency Of these mighty
charges Of electricity is to follow q cur.
rent Of air after they get within strik-
ing distance, as 1t might be called, of
tho earth.
Not too many years ago . man was

An open window, during 4 Summer

Mostly they are over shortly. and even
though the house seems and IL very hot,
for the time being. 1t is good policy to
close all doors and windows before the
storm breaks.
Aside from this simple precaution
there is very little any one can do about
thunderstorm. although there are Ger
tain petty reliefs afforded the mind by
observing certain traditional precau-
tions.
One Of these Is not to hold 4 metal
object during the storm. There 10 prob
ably not much in this but If 1t is sooth-
ing to the mind it will do a great deal
to help the storm conscious person to
weather through.

Just why any one wants to run

something that Will remain 4 mystery,
but there can be no doubt that II the
mind is occupied some Of the fear will
be crowded out.

mainly to thunderstorms. The danger
Of being under = tree struck by lightning
