we have the firm backlog Of the cattle and
dairy industry, the yicisstudes of which are
normally confined TO marketing conditions.
1t Is not without good grounds, therefore,
that Tulare county is rated among the first few
counties in the entire United States for the
value of its agricultural products. 1t is no won

Bruce Cation Says:>>
Can't U. S. Avoid War, Costly NavaI Program?

In highly uncertain world
which seems to be at the mercy of
whims of military-minded para
noiacs, most Americans are heartily
in favor of keeping their army and
navy in a fairly high state of pre-
paredneSs.
Nevertheless, before we get too
deeply involved in the current arm
ament race, it might be a sound
idea to stop, look, and listen for a
moment.
Specifically, it might be a good
idea to figure out just where we
are going, and why, before we go
any farther with our fabulously ex-
pensive naval building program.
The House of Representatives
now is considering the annual ma
val supply bill. This carries the
staggering appropriation of $685.
100000 to support and maintain the
navy during the coming year
Eighty-one vessels now are being
built or will be started within the
year; two battleships. three aircraft
carriers, IL cruisers, 48 destroyers
and 16 submarines.
Added to the forces we already
have, this will make quite navy.
What are we going to do with it?
There are only two other nations
on the globe that have fleets Of
comparable strength: England and
Japan. Unless we are aiming at
one or the other of them, we don't
need navy that strong. Which
one is it?
You have to do some deep and
dark figuring to see war with
England anywhere within the realm
of remote possibilities. We are
withdrawing from Asia and insist
ing that what happens in Europe
is no concern of ours; unless all
signs fail, we are about to pass a
neutrality bill which will keep us
from insisting on Our traditional
neutral trade rights in case of an
English blockade of a foreign coast
Imperial Valley press., 1937-03-10

line. Where, then, are we going TO
head into trouble with England?
The case of Japan is different.
Everybody says that there is real
danger of an American-Japanes
war, so it must be SO; and yet a
more suicidal war for both nations
would be hard to imagine. Japan
is our best Asiatic customer; Wa
are Japans best occidental custontW
er. We are getting out of the
Philippines, and our annual trade
with China would hardly pay for
one of these fancy new battleships
we are building. Is it going too far
to- suggest that we can stay out of
war with Japan if we really try?
There is still another point. If
American opinion is unanimous on
anything, it is unanimous on the
idea that our purposes are strictly
defensive. We aren't planning TO
fight overseas; all we want is COM
plete security at home. And, in
that case, we ought to remember
that we don't need ship-for-ship
parity to be secure. A navy fight
ing in its own waters can hold its
own, even when substantially out
numbered, against a navy operating
5000 miles from home. a
* X x
We ought to go over all these
points rather carefully. We have
one of the mightiest navies in all
history right now. Is there any
compelling reason why We should
spend half a billion year to make
it still mightier?

ask, what were the Ethiopians doing at

Comparative values! How few
of us are able or willing to make
them.
1t is so easy to grow the thought
that what we think or the things
we do have a greater value thar
the thoughts or the accomplish
ments of others.
Yet a moments serious consider
alton is sure to disclose that what
we think or do has value only as
it fits into and coordinates with
what others are thinking or doing.
Its value for many lies in the
public acclaim given; its real value
comes only to him who can appre-
ciate the joy of unselfsh giving and
the satisfaction of a needed task
well done.
A convention comes to your city.
Some will be called to plan for it,
some to feed it, some to house it.
