RALPH O. BREWSTER

Maine Republican, we have always with us.
Mr.. Brewster spent much time last week badgering
Admiral Leahy, despite refined Bronx cheers from
AhU,don the rest of the House Naval Affairs
~ Committee members. It seems to be
H0U"" Brewster's belief that we should con-
fine naval plans and construction to defense of the
continental United States. If we interpret some of his
published remarks correctly he feels that ought
to let Hawaii go to the first nation that makes pass
at it. Certainly lot of other pacifsts feel that way
The notion seems dangerous and foolish to US. We
favor letting the Philippines slide if Japan decides
to grab them before formally free them in 1916
They weak salient, neck stuck out in the
Pacific. But Hawaii is logical Pacific outpost
against Japan.
The distance from California to Hawaii is about
$500 miles; from California to Japan about $780,
At present. because own Hawaii and it is strongly
fortified and equipped with big naval base, our
effective frontier with reference to Japan is $500
miles off West Coast.
If we have to fight Japan time, the best thing
do will be to start from frontier $500 miles
away from shores If we abandon plans for using
Hawaii as the key to American defense the Pacific
we shall in effect move frontier back to our West
Coast That will lay us open to Shanghai-style Jap
attacks West Coast cities, and to the
bombs of japanese planes from aircraft carriers stand
ing close enough in to West Coast to make air
raids feasible.
We should under circumstances let Hawaii slide
not because we love Hawaii with its heavily Japan
ized population, or because we are in any way OBJ
igated to fight for the Americans who have grown
rich off Hawaii's tropical products but because
heavily fortified and guarded Hawaii is our best in
surance against having to start from scratch in
possible fight with Japan. Scratch would be Los An
geles, San Pedro, San Francisco Seattle Tacoma
And the best insurance against having to fight
war with anybody is Navy twice as strong as Japans
navy, and the best navy in the world

q built building or appropriated for. In the event
that our fleet should tangle with combined Japa
nese-Italian-G German fleet, Admiral Leahy says
unable to say what might be. Certainly
3ebatleshp fleet should be stronger than 21baeship
neet
If such fight seems at this time too fantastic
dream to think seriously about, there is the cold,
present fact that Italy and Germany both have
siderable numbers of immigrants in South America,
most of them in Brazil
There is the further fact that Brazils government
has recently gone authoritarian totaitarian in the
Gennan-Italian manner, through Brazilian Dictator
Getulio Vargas insists he has no teups with any Eu
ropean governments.
To offset Vargas disclaimer there is the third fact
that Bruno Mussolini few days ago headed three
plane goodwill flight from Rome to Rio de Janero.
It looks more than possible to us that we may some
time find ourselves in a involving defense of both
our Atlantic and Pacific Coasts. That being the case,
it behooves us to build and maintain Navy capable
of defending both coasts-and to stay friends with
Great Britain.

The report proceeds: "She
found reporters as well as Sen

To my mere American mind,

drunken Sailors" she said. But
it is madness for this country to
continue piling up deficits.
Great Britain has been lncreaS-
ing expenditures for social pro
grams but has balanced It's
budget through heavier taxa
tion."
THE WAR DEBT
It is refreshing to note that
none Of the kowtowing Senators
embarrassed the lady by remind
ing her that the heavier taxes
were not extended to the point
of raising money to pay Britain'S
honest war debts to the United
States.
Now I wonder! This alien
noblewoman is the same Vir.
ginia-born Nancy Langhorne
who sold her citizenship for a
mess of pottage. She IS the Vir-
ginia girl who renounced her
allegiance to the United States
to become the wife of another
expatriate.
I wonder If any Of those Sen
ators who contributed to the
Qualification Of Lady AStor in
Washington have the temerity to
come out in the open and say:
"DaughterS of America, emu
late the example Of this bril-
liant Virginia woman. If the op-
portunity offers, turn your back
on this republic and renounce
your allegiance to it. Provided.
of course, you can exchange
your citizenship for rank, title
and riches. Forget what you
have been taught in the schools
about American citizenship be-
ing what Washington declared
a priceless heritage"
My amazement grew when 7
discovered that at this moment
there is in storage at the Vir-
ginia capitol, recently delivered,
a portrait Of Lady Astor, painted
by an English artist, but paid
for with American money raised
by subscription from relatives
and Anglomaniacs in Virginia.

not realize, or else are not

of such a move to deprive over
250,000 workers of a livelihood.
Naturally their families and

suffer deprivation, together with

The American Federation of
