pose. Also, she was fast. What,
then, was responsible for her failure?
The answer may be debated at
length, yet it seems simple and OBJ
vious In character. Her builders had
made the Graf Spec first-class
engine of offense, but she was made
quately prepared to defend herself.
The paradox represented in the
vessel was that of strength in guns
and weakness in armor. When she
limped into Montevideo on December
Is she was mortally damaged. True,
she was afloat and in no peril of
sinking. Her two turrets, however,
had been demolished by the shells OF
the British ships she had encount-
cred disastrously. Captain Langs-
dorff, therefore, was justified in his
statement to the Uruguayan author
tiles concerning her unseaworthiness
AS fighting unit. She could not
have faced the enemy again.
For the laity the problem may be
too complex to be understood, but it
is not overly bewildering to United
States Navy personnel. In summary,
three factors are involved in the
designing of armed ships. They are:
Power to hurt, power to resist injury
and power to move rapidly. An ideal
battle craft must possess all these
qualities in proper measure.
Evening star., 1940-03-02
Junk

According to dispatches from
Montevideo, the German government
has sold the battered hulk of the ILL
fated pocket battleship Admiral Graf
Spec to an Argentine metal works as
scrap. The wreck has been lying
partly submerged in the Uruguayan
harbor since the vessel was blown up
by her commander, Captain Langs-
dorff, on December II. But the re-
mains of the craft which once was
the latest word in naval construction
still belonged to the Reich. The
tangled mass of steel might be-and
actually was-an obstruction to traf-
flc in the River Plate, yet the Nazis
owned it. Now they have disposed of
1t as junk. So ends a story which
shocked the world.
But 1t will be many years before
seafaring men cease to be interested
in the implications of that tale. The
records of the clash between the Graf
Spec and the British cruisers Exeter,
Ajax and Achilles are certain to be
studied with care by the naval ofii-
GERS Of every country on earth. In
theory it would seem that the Ger
man ship should have been able to
sink all three Of her attackers. She
had guns heavy enough for the pur-

Appeosinq Law Breakers

Rear Admiral Harry E. Yarnell,
United States Navy, retired, was
never one to mince words when the
occasion called for fortnight Ian
guage. AS commander of the Asiatic
Fleet, the important diplomatic
naval post which he held just prior
to retirement last fall, he pulled no
punches in asserting the rights of
American citizens and American
naval forces in Japanese-controlled
Chinese territory. He refused to be
awed by Japanese displays of naval
or military might, even when bombs
were sinking the United States Gun
boat Panay and when the japanese
were warning American ships to
leave Swatow. Those were tense
times, demanding on-the-spot choice
between kid-gloved or iron-handed
diplomacy. Choosing the latter, he
issued his famous edict that the Navy
would "go wherever it is necessary
at any time" to carry out its mission
of protecting American rights.
Japan did not declare war on the
United States in spite of Admiral
Yarnell's habit of tossing verbal
bombshells at the japanese Army
and Navy. No thought that Japan
would consider his creed Of firmness
as a provocation of war occurred to
him at any time. The veteran
Admiral knew the Japanese mind;
he couched his phrases so that the
Japanese mind would understand
clearly what he was saying-and that
he meant it. Admiral Yarnell has
explained his philosophy succinctly
in letter to Senator Lewis B.
Schwellenbach, Democrat, of Wash
ington, who had asked for the Ad-
miral's opinion on an embargo OF
military exports to Japan. I'm civil
life" said Admiral Yarnell, "it has
been found that 'appeasement' does
not work in dealings with law-break-
ers and gunner. The experience OF
recent years has shown that also it
is of no avail in dealing with nations
whose rulers decide on course OF
action against harmless neighboring
nations involving death and misery
to millions of innocent people in total
disregard of treaties, international
law or the dictates of justice and
humanity"
Admiral Yarnell's opinion, based
on flrst-hand observations, is particu-
larly timely-in view of recent un-
reasoned expressions of fear that
harbor improvements at Guam might
offend Japan and that an unrestrict-
ed loan to Finland might precipitate
war with Russia.

The Stadium Project

Progress which has been made in
recent months on plans for the ade-
quate development of the area at
the terminus of East Capitol street
has received a new stimulus in the
distinctly favorable report which
the Park and Planning Commission
has forwarded to Congress on Repre-
sentative Randolphfs stadium bill.
This measure, which would grant
authority for the erection of large
civic stadium as a twin ediflce for
the armory, and for the laying out OF
fields for various sports events, origi-
nally contained provision to permit
the use of any emergency works
funds which remain to the credit OF
the District. Since it was introduced
these funds have been found to be
depleted, and as the bill now stands
1t is merely an authorization.
Financial considerations constitute
the only remaining barrier to real
ization of the project. Under the
plan as it now stands, the East Cap
itol sports center would be SELF
liquidating and under control OF the
Interior Department. Yet the original
cost, even when apportioned between
the local and Federal governments,
would impose temporary burden.
For this reason, although they ap-
proved the project, the Commission
ers have notified Congress that the
District is not in position to carry
this additional fiscal burden at this
time. And Chairman Delano has ap-
pended to his Endorsement the formal
statement required by the Budget
Bureau to the effect that the plan Is
not now on the Presidents legislative
program. This simply means that
the financing has not yet been ap-
proved by the Budget Bureau, and
does not imply disapproval in any
sense.
Proper development of East Capitol
street, as well as the development OF
additional recreational facilities for
a rapidly growing city, is one OF the
major necessities of the National
CAPITAL. Action which has been
taken by the planning commission
and the District government finishes
the preliminary phases of the work.
Solution of the problem OF financing,
and completion of legislative action
is all that remains to be done to equip
Washington with modern center
for athletic competitions and out
door civic programs.

Counsel

This would I tell the young today, in
tones
To pierce the heart, its truth to brand
the mind:
You are the heirs Of ages of strong men,
Men who believed, who answered yea"
to life,
Who grasped this flaming gift in strong
bare hands
And held it high! In this strange restless
time
Lost self-appointed leaders of mans
thought
Have tried to make Defeat god, to lead
Mans seeking soul into bitter land
OF barrenness and waste and evil things.
Since their blind eyes have never seen
the stars.
But these men are not prophets, they
are soiled
And heavy drags upon the wings that
Has given to His sons. This would I tell
The young today: In your souls lies tho
spark
OF God Himself; on your broad shoul.
ders rests
The mantle Of His grace. Go forth, and
know
That Life will conquer Death, that Good
will stand
Upon the broken fragments Of the Ill.
And that the final goal Of all the race
Is not q wasteland. but the groves Of
God.
