say. But genuine stuff? -phooey!
Spies Secret Sources.
There is a rather expensive volume,
issued periodically, known as James
Fighting Ships, which describes the
worlds navies in much detail and
pretty reliably. Any spy who gets that
book (all we'll equipped libraries have
it on. tap can frame up pretty good
"secret. report"
Some years ago the u. S. Navy per-
fected mysterious listening-in "gad-
get" which, installed, for instance. on
the island of Guam, would keep us
informed as to japanese naval move
ments. Gosh!-but that was a con-
fidential thing! That is, it was con-
fidential until, one day, the congress
ional Naval Affairs Committee was
questioning an old admiral, and the
admiral, forgetting that it was a Sc
cret, told all about it, and every news
paper in the nation explained it mi
nutely. 1t was, a great occasion for
foreign spies.
More recently we were building a
new battleship. It was the last word
in secrecy. In due course the Navy
Department, issuing report to be
broadcast by the government print
ing office, accidentally included every
imaginable blueprint of that ship
which the printing office faithfully
reproduced. It's for sale at half dol
lar per issue. Again, for international
spies, Score 1.
Aside from the foolishness of the
counter-espionag game, the average
American doesn't like the idea of an
"OGPU" or "Gestapo' set up here.
There's a sound basis for this OBJ
lection.
