 Women Drinking
 "Women are now being urged to drink" said pr. Colvin, in producing figures to show that more liquor is being manufactured this year than at any previous time. It was also pointed out by the prohibitionist that twice as many liquor dispens- ing agencies as existed previous to the repeal of the prohibition statute.
 "The repeal of the prohibition amendment has brought back not only the liquor traffic in unprece- dented power, but 1t has brought back e whole train of other vices. During prohibition only seven states allowed race track grambling. Now 27 allow 1t. Automobile accidents are increasing, with drunken driving one of the major factors in the increase. Repeal of prohibition has made liquor capital secure, and has re- stored to power the old group of dis tillers and brewers who used to run the country.

London, Sept. 2l - q wish to Heaven about 30 Italian naval at- taches were here now"
 The speaker was British naval officer who was watching the great coronation naval review held by King George VI last spring ct Spit head. Before his eyes were some 50 miles of British warships-a diS- play of strength that no other na- ton on earth, except the United States could equal. The display was osi iensibly put on for the benefit of the newly-crowned king; actually. lt was intended as on object lesson for any ambitious European power,
 For although Mussolini, by his actions In the Ethiopian and Span iSh wars, showed himself willing to risk war with England in order to make Italy dominant in the Medi- terranean, the unacceptable fact res mains that in such 0 war England would have all the odds In her favor.
 Could Lock Doors on Italy
 In such 0 war, Italy could prob ably close the Mediterranean to British merchant shipping and make the transit of British war. ships extremely dangerous. But England, in her turn, could com. pletely lock the doors on Italy
 By her possession of Gibraltar and the SueS canal, and her im- niensely superior fleet, she could completely pNralyEe Italian sea. borne commerce outside of the Mediterranean. Italy needs vast supplies of raw material such things aS coal, copper, iron, cot- ton, wool and grain-from over- seas. England could shut of her supply with ruthless certainty.
 Furthermore, to keep British ships out of the Mediterranean would not be c fatal blow. They could still sail around Africa, by way of the Cape of Good Hope. British naval Strategists are now collaborating with those of the Dominion of South Africa to pre-. pare for just such c thing.
 South African ports will be made bigger to take care of the large ships which would have to take Far East, and steps are being taken to perfect the defenses of Capetowi, md Durban against attack from the air or sea.
 Britain RcbulldS Navy
 In addition, Britain's tremend. . uso rearmament program must be taken into account.
 This vast fiVe-year plan calls for the spending of $7,b0o 000.0 0.00o oil but two billions of which are to be raised by direct taxation. Five new battleshlps grim giants of 35,000 tons, with 30-knot speed and armament of ib-lneh guns--are be ing built. So are three large air- craft carriers, and number of fast cruisers, especially designed fo. antl-eraft defense.
 While these ships arc being rushed through, the existing Brit- lsh fleet in the Mediterranean haH been reorganized and strength. eHed. tt now consists of three bat tleShlps, two battle cruisers, four Heavy cruisers, Ave light cruisers two of the new anti-craft cr,ig.

 A Huge Air Force
 But by far the greatest Item in England's immense rearmAment program Is being made in the air. The last annual appropriation for aircraft was $400000, ,000; next year 1t will be bigger, It Is almost impossible to buy an airplane in England today for civilian pur. poses.
 More than 8b,00o men are work ing At top speed in British air- craft factories, turning out planes for the government. And oil Of this Is to increase an air force which on April 1 of this year stood ct 140 squadronS, with c person. fiel strength of 1850 officers and El ,000 enlisted menl
 No definite figures as to the ul- timate goal of tho Ar Ministry have ever been given out, bul fro instatements made by the Ali Minister and the Minister for Co., ordination of Defense 1t has been deducted that orders for more than 10000 planes have been placed to cover tho expansion period.
 This means c vast air force for bigger than ever announced by either Germany or Italy, plus on enormous number of reserve planes to replace those which might be destroyed in war.
 British strategiiistS do not believe that any great city or Iaanufact- uring area can Dc made absolute ly safe from swift bomber attack. They are working, therefore, on the theiry that the best defense ij c good attack -- that the other fellow iS not 50 likely to come over and bomb your cities If he knows that you will immediately and thoroughly bomb his.
 As q result heavy orders have been placed for the Fairey Battle and Bristol Blenheim medium bombors, and for the heavy bomb- CTS of Handley Page Harrow, Arm- strong Whitworth Whitley and VickerS Wellesley.
 The fastest of these Is the Bristol Blcnhoim, which has q cruising speed of 270 miles an hour at on altitude Of l4,00o feet --- and which is said to have done better, in prac- tlce flights, than tho 300 miles at, hour top speed of the Italians crack bombing planes,
 For Accurate Aim
 Some of us recently were invited to witness exhibition flights o' new British planes. We saw ont huge bomber which, with m in. genious slotted wing device, Wal able to slow down In itS flight tt what looked like . moro crawl -. c feat which would enable itl crew to take very accurate aim c, the chosen target.

 France Has Her Part
 Yet that Is not all. For in assay. ing the possibilities of trouble in the Mediterranean, 1t must be rec membered that England and France are again acting in concert.
 Like England, France has re- ceived 0 scare from Mussolini and Hitler.
 Like England, she is preparing for trouble. And if. the present tension bteween Russia and Italy should be the prelude to war, France js SO situated and equipped as to play an extremely important part in 1t.
