THE writer enjoys pleasant memo
ries of the old Mohican. He was
a paying guest on board-paying his
pro rata of the mess bill-when the
ship sailed from Honolulu for Port
Townsend. Wash. in May. 1894. The
courtesy had been extended because
he was 4 newspapcrman and had
been covering" events sequent to the
dethronement of Queen Lliuokalani.
This voyage was, in 70 far as can
be ascertained, the last one made by
. heart Of oak to or from any foreign
shore.
A lonely man was the captain;
indeed so were all captains and ad-
mirals OF the old school. It Is Diff
ferent today. They are busy keeping
abreast with the changes in naval
construction and tactics. But when
ships Of wood comprised the Navy,
odicers and men carried on a. they
had done for . hundred years or
longer. And one unwritten law pre-
scribed that 4 commanding omcer
must hold himself aloof from all
others ON board.
The captain ate breakfast alone.
luncheon alone, and dined alone. ex-
cept on rare occasions. when he invited
an inmate Of the wardroom to sit
at table with him. This tete-a-tete
was not enjoyed by either. The "Old
Man" could not unbend. and the junior
of{icer, at home below. felt himself q
foreigner in the cabin. The stilted
conversation was sprinkled with 'sirs. !"
Zine weather We are having. sir"
"This roast Is delicious. SIR" and 20 on.
No ruler Of . nation was . more
absolute monarch than . naval cap
tain during the days when the Mohi-
can plowed the waves. He even regu-
lated the time. Promptly at certain
hour every evening IN orderly would

permission to enter, he would salute
and say, Nine O'Clock, sir"
Make it So" would be the reply.
Whereupon the orderly would descend
to the gun deck and sound two strokes
on the bell which was swung amid
ships. What might have happened
had an "Old Man" ever replied,
Don't make it so,' is 3 conjecture
with no answer.
HOW the days were occupied oy
the inmate Of the after cabin
was q mystery. Perhaps he did some
embroidery, or occasionally seVed a
button on his trousers. thus varying
the monotony OF reading and writing.
On deck the same exclusiveness was
shown. At times the captain would
beckon a junior officer and promenade
with him. But for junior to step
to his side on other than ships busi-
ness just could not happen.
AS relaxation, members OF the ward
room played hearts, poker. chess and
checkers; read, wrote letters and now
and then slipped gin rickeys or Scotch
highballS.
Each officer had prize possessions,
which he delighted in showing a visi-
tor-pictures, curios, mementoes, all
of more than passing interest. The
paymaster exhibited a piece OF paper,
glass covered and framed, on which
was written in pencil:
U $1,000
Kalakaua. Rex.
That was all he had to show for
his winnings at q poker game where
one Of the players was the last King
Of Hawaii.
The dozen marines on board were
q sorry sight. 1t was a later day
when the corps became the leather
necks and world famous. On ships
of which the Mohican was type
they were fetch-and-carry men; they
heaved the log and they polished
brasswork. When in port they did
police duty, rounding up seamen who
overstayed liberty, thus adding to the
friction. long existent, which marked
the attitude of seamen toward the
marine soldier boys.

mental ownership because of the prob
able very high maintenance cost which
80 many armories throughout the
country would involve. They gener-
ally look to the States through the
naval militia units to provide the
space, and to maintain it. This is given
support in another recommendation OF
the board which was approved, and
this was to the effect that every effort
be made to obtain and retain space in
post Offices and other Federal build
ings for the communications units.
Commandants of navy yards and
districts having Reserve units under
their Jurisdiction have been requested
to provide opportunities for Reserv-
lists to receive instructions from regular
naval officers on other than the regu-
lar drill nights for the Reserve.
The policy board recommended that
all in the Naval Reserve be assigned

carnations be assigned insofar as
practicable to mobilization stations as
units; that those who are not to
mobilize with drilling units, be assigned
to mobilization stations as individ-
uals, insofar as practicable; that no.

units and to individual omcers, Of

be sent them as soon as they have
been assigned. This would make 1t
possible for every Reserve ofhcer to
know just where he is going should
it be necessary to call the Reserve
into active service upon the develop
ment of an emergency. The bureau
said these policies and procedures
would be carried out insofar rs the
public interest would permit.

and instruction Of the reservists, the

"A House DiUided''

The letter signed an "Ameri-
can Citizen who is a jew" pub
lished in your issue Of October
II, contains so many miSstate-
ments, I could not resist the
temptation to answer it.
In the first place, I deny his
claim that a Jew is as good a
citizen as a Gentle. AS proof,
I refer to the pages Of history.
The Jew never has been a good
citizen in a Gentle country.
Hundreds of years ago the
Romans destroyed Jerusalem
and sold the Jews into slavery.
Since that time they have
been welcomed into, and driven
out Of country after country. If
they were desirable citizens this
would not be the case. OF
course. the Gentiles were wrong.
The Jews are always in the
right.
But. the 0entileS claim that
The Washington times., 1938-10-13

the Jews are a race Of chiselers,
who can't be absorbed, and
whose God Is money.
AS to my Americanism I can
only say, 7 speak the native
language without accent. I
have no alliance with any for
eigniSm, either political or re-
ligiouS.
AS to Hitler, I believe he has
one very good idea. That Is,
one people in one nation.
quote the Bible to prove that
he is correct in this contention!
"A house divided against itself
cannot stand" A nation Of diff
:erent ideas, is a house divided
against itself. If you don't
think so, look at Czechoslovakia.

Wise and Admirable

When I first read the Moscow
dispatch to the effect that our
Colonel Lindbergh had been de-
nounced "as a lackey and flat
terer of German FasciSts" and
accused of making "slanderous
and inSolent anti-Soviet utter
ances" before guests Of Wis
countess Astor, I became rather
suspicious of the report.
My suspicion that this was
Communist propaganda was
later confirmed by further
news stories from London which
show that: (a) The Week, a
Leftist publication published in
London, on october 5, carried
similar statements regarding
Colonel Lndbergh; and (b)
that Viscountess Astor has pub
licly stated through the Labor
ite London Daily Herald, that
lit is a complete lie that
Colonel Lindbergh has never
made any sort Of pronounce
ment about the Russian air
force or about anything else dur
ing a dinner party at my house
or in my house at ALL"
Knowing Lindbergh as I do,
could not conceive Of his max
ing any such statement, even in
confidence in the privacy Of any
ones home. You can rest as
sured his confidential informa-
tion will not be parceled out in
secrecy.
Lindbergh is too shrewd a man
to be even "tricked" into max
ing the statements accredited to
him. And one need say no
more than that his attitude Of
refraining from making a pub
lie reply to the communistic
allegations is wise, and admira-

the Presidents speech was this paragraph:
The Dominion of Canada part of the sserhood Of the
ned States M V ySS no y nd M Sy If ns Of
Canadian soil is threatened by any other empire"
1t sounds like sense to
Japan has long been regarded as the most serious
threat to American independence. Japan to be
fading, world menace, into the mosquitopoisoned
bogs of China-though there's in betting
that until the gong actually rings Japanese inroads
in Canada would be threat to the United States which
the United States could not afford to ignore.
But so would nroads in Canada by any other for
eign power. Suppose Mussolin and Hitler should get
together, and, by series Of tiger blows from SUBJ
marine airplane or both, destroy British seapower
and grab overlordship of Europe. They would in all
likelihood begin making sleeps eyes at the Western
Hemisphere.
Lacking this assurance of United States cooperation
Canada with it's less than H. 100000 people and only
a handful of small fighting ships of it's own, would
be tempting avenue of entry.
OHIy heHIOLe 1t is inconceivable, for as long
pneeihiT;tu time foresee, that
would be willing to see Canada
taken That would mean seeing valued and
friendly neghbor turned into hostile neghbor, with
leading strings stretching back to anti democratic
powers across the Atlantic.
We couldn't stand for it; or, if we should stand for
1t, we would deserve to be next the antidemocratic
conquest program.
Of course, there is remote possibility that Canada
and the United States may be different sides in
some future struggle In such case, this extension of
the Monroe Doctrine would be off. Before anybody
raises his or her hands in holy horror at such thought
let's remember that Canada and ourselves have been
on opposite sides in two fights-and that, far
beating Canada went, lost both times.
But, aside from these specuations United States
policy of active cooperation with Canada in any
emergency is common sense We delighted that
the President fit to announce this policy when
and where he did, and in language that anybody,
a European dictator drunk with thoughts of his own
invincibility can understand.
