and like the condition hereabouts,
there are a great many members

Is both logical and desirable, and
Is already being given thoughtful
consideration by the brass hats Of

Mistaken idea

coast guard reserve, always by
the misinformed, usually run like
this:
Il should sign up my boat, then
have Uncle Whiskers come along
and commander 1t whether I like
II or not"
Say, I've got my business to

Poppycockl II those squawkers
would take the trouble to read the
congressional act under which the
coast guard reserve Is organized,
they'd know better.
Law Provides
The law has taken those posi-
bilities into consideration, and very
definitely states THE reserve is a
voluntary non-military organiza-
ton; a member cannot be called to
active duty and his boat cannot be
requisitioned by the coast guard"

So If you're worried over for
nation OF a small boat reserve
under coast guard management.
you're welcome to the above para
graph-you're born worrier. any
how.
Now Doing Extra Work
The coast guard Is buster than
trap-drummer with the itch try
ing to do a serious and important
job Of keeping tabs on American
neutrality-in addition to its regu-
lar duties.
For example. take the situation
right here at Tacoma as II affects
US. The 75-foot patrol boat "4o2"
travels over 1000 miles every
month trailing foreign ships; that's
enough to keep anybody out Of
mischief.
On top of that. other coast
guard vessels normally stationed
in the Puget Sound area have had
their duties increased, and some of
them have even been transferred
elsewhere. That makes more
work all around, of course.
Then suppose the Tacoma Yacht
club plans regatta. They give
Tom Firth, skipper of the "402,"
jingle and invite him to spend a
Sunday officiating. Chances are.
he's either out on a trail, or per-
haps hasn't been to bed for
couple of nights. or could other
wise justifiably muster a few cuss
words.
Not that he personally doesn't
want to oblige, or that the coast
guard officially doesn't want to
accommodate the yachtsmen lone
of its duties, and they know III
but you just can't wish a qualified
boat and crew into existence.
Self-Help Betterf
Wouldn't it be ever 30 much bet
ter-under such circumstances--if
the coast guard could call upon
Joe Doakes and ask him to crank
up his "Susy Q" and stand by his
fellow yachtsmen with an eye
peeled for accidents or stupidity?
That's only one small example
Of how the coast guard reserve
will operate. It's simply a mat
ter of locating and inspecting COM
petent. efficient, able, seaworthy
boats and men. Those qualified
are given a special flag and an
insignia for their uniform (if they
want it). Actually, the whole deal
will end about there.
At Least Investigate
Not new idea. it's particularly
pertinent right now. however. The
coast guard is swamped with nu-
merous military duties In addition
to its normal civilian duties-and
it would appreciate a little help
with the latter, please, when and
If the need arises.

Urges Rel dun by People on Mdtfer of
 Declaration of War

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Sen- ator Homer T. Bone, of the State of Washington, today asserted that No force stands between the man in the White House and plunging of this country into bloody war.
 Bone added: Because of that, the people should vote on any de- claration of war"
 The remarks were made while Bone was arguing before the Sen- ate Naval Committee on behalf of the proposed war referendum am- endment to the Constitution.
 Senator Bone declared the Legis- lative branch is futile instru- ment" in preventing war.
 Congress has the Constitutional right to declare war. but Bone said he didn't believe that constituted any barrier, because the forces of propaganda could be brought to bear on members of Congress and Committees
 The debate on the question was born in the suggestion of Stephen Raushenbush, former Chief Inves- tigator of the Senate Munitions Committee, suggesting that Con- gress should set up a public com mission to consult the President as to his foreign policy.
