WASHINGTON, May 27-Chiet

tht. navy is to get from the Pre-
sldentS emergency preparedness
budget Will be vast speeding up
of all new construction.
Plans now being shaped in the
office of Admiral Harold Stark,
chief of naval operations. call for
putting all naval construction on
4 straight 24-hour basis.
This. it is hoped. will cut almost
IN half the time required to build
the eight dreadnaughtS now on the
BOOKS. with smaller speed-ups in
all other vessels under construction.
Building under the present one
shift system, it takes little more
than four years to finish a battle
ship. Swinging over to a 24-hour
day Won't cut tnat time to one
third. Some Of the precise tech
meal processes can't be hurried,
no matter what is done. But a big
bite can be taken out of the or
dinary schedule.
Getting over to the 24-hour day
IS apt to mean fight in Congress
first. At present the Walsh
Healey act provides no worker en-
ployed in the building of a war
shlp may be employed more than
a total of 40 hours in one week.
Navy people say there simply
aren't available enough skilled wor-
kers to furnish all the private and
public yards with three complete
daily shifts of workers, and a tenn
porary suspension of the law to
allow overtime work is being asked.
The A. F. of L. and c. l. o. oppose
It. denying that the shortage of
workers exists, and their spokesman
IN both houses are preparing to go
into action
There'll be further fireworks over
the naVy's wish that the 10 per
cept profit limitation now applied
to all navy construction contracts
be lifted. The navy feels this has
caused a good deal of the current
construction delay; manufacturers
are said to be reluctant to expand
their plants for navy orders be-
cause in many cases the expanded
plant won't be of use for anything
except naval production and be-
cause they are not allowed to fl

Willis Thornton's Editorial On:
Preparedness Means Sacrifice

Scarcely single voice diSSents as
the United States launches into a
vast military preparedness program
The bitter lessons driven home
each week, each day, each hour in
Europe are being learned at last
The United States has no. sought
this. For 20 years we have not built
a battleShip We diSbanded our
great World War army, and kept
n standirT "rmv smaller than Swift
2erland, But La1 rest of the world
was unwilling TO follow suit. We are
in the world, and we must play the
worlds game.
We must rearm. That means a
reduction in our standard OF living.
It will touch every man, woman
and child in the country. To fail
TO recognize this truth and face it
squarely is to weaken the arma-
ment itself.
How did Germany succeed in
building its uncannily effective mill
tary machine? BY sacrifice. BY
guns instead of butter BY putting
half of everything the German
people produced into the building OF
the machine, and making then live
on the rest and like it.
Because the United States is llch-
er. that is. has more productive
facilities, it ought not to be nec2S-
sary for us to 90 that far. But the
principle is the samC-it is all 4

A STRANGE
INDlFFERENC
[ wall Street JournaD

Supporting bill introduced by SEN
ator Byrnes of South Carolina to add
$500, 100000 to the funds at the disposal
of the Federal Surplus Commodities
Corp. in making crop loans, Senator Bill
DO of Mississippi says it would "provde
a further cushion to protect farmers
from adverse effects of the war now rag
ing in Europe
The composite cushion for the farmers
would thus be stuffed with something
more than 81 500 100000. There is to be
a $4,000, 100000 Army and Navy cushion
between this country and whatever dam
ger of aggression the war may bring
forth. Then there is to be the 1913, ,000,-
600 eight months cushion for the unem-
ployed, which is likely to be expanded to
half again as much before the coming
fiscal year ends.
These six billion dollars worth of cnsh-
ions do not represent the whole of the
financial upholstery work which Con-
gress is being called upon to do. Is it
within the bounds of possibility that the
Government provide easy chairs for
everybody and at the same time build
secure wall of armed defense behind
which we may all loll at ease?
Certainly not Some of these cushions
are more than the country can afford.
We, of all people, should know that a
country which attempts to enjoy ease be-
yond its Immediately available means
soon finds the cushions opening at the
seams. Strangely but obviously. the sud
den realization of our defense needs has
lmbued many persons with the idea that
the more the government is compelled
by necessity to spend the more it can
lay out for innumerahle other purposes.
Instead of First things first" they say,
Everything first"
To the financing Of the defense pro-
gram and its bearing on the Governments
fiscal affairs Congress and the Adninis-
tration have been strangely Indifferent.
1t is time they addressed themselves So
berly to that exceedingly important as
pect of the matter.

EMMA GOLDMAN
Sacramento Bee)

That steadily dWinding group of AM
orleans who still look upon Soviet Russia
as the promised land for the underprivil-
eyed and downtrodden will find a peril
nent object lesson in the life of Emma
Goldman, who died in Toronto, Canada
on Monday.
For more than a generation. prior to
her deportation in 1919 on a charge of
obstructng the draft law, Miss Goldman
went about preaching for a new social
order founded on the doctrines of anar-
chy and the economic theories of Karl
Marx.
But Utopia at distance and Utopia at
a closeup proved to be two distinctly diff
ferent places for Red Emma. Packed off
to Russia by deportation agents, she
speedily developed a distate for living
in land of dictators Proportionate to
the growth of that distaste, her respect
for the principles of democracy increas-
ed.
Returning here in 1884 on permit
after Is years abroad, she expressed the
belief America was the last frontier of
liberty and was most bitter in her de-
nunciation of Stalin Hitler and Musso-
lini.
Fortunately, most persons do not have
to spend Is years in the dictatorship
countries to learn the things Miss Gold
man learned.

0lliBLE RADICALS SAME
the WORLD OVER

1t seems that about the only idea that
cannot be sold to confirmed radicals the
world over is that people with money are
mt all fiendish oppressors
They'll believe anything else, IN the
face of all the proof that can be offered
to the contrary.
Mexico City saw a good demonstration
of radical gullibility Saturday. The LETT,
wing newspaper "El Popular there told
its readers that, most probably, Chalr-
man Martin Dies of the House committee
bearing his name was one of the moving
forces behind an effort to assassinate
Leon Trotsky, Communist exile. Dies
agents undoubtedly were among the as
Sassins, the newspaper said.
The reason, Mexico City'S Communist
controlled publication declared, was that
Dies wanted an excuse to bring about
United States intervention in Mexico.
The story is so utterly silly, so i'm
possible, in fact, that it deserves notice
only because it demonstrates the sort OF
thing confirmed radicals will believe,
and the sort of propaganda Communists
depend upon to put over their theories.
The trouble with radicals is that they
don't use common sense II they did,
they would not subscribe to the radical
beliefs they hold, because radicalism it
sell is not Observation-Disclosures WHelHeI
it is right-or left-wing radicalism.
radical is person who wants to create
greater evil in order to cure what he
believes to be another evil. All radicals
have one blind spot-they cannot see that
the thing they believe they are working
for would be, in reality worse than the
situation they want to overcome.
The Communist newspaper in Mexico
City demonstrated the type of minds rad
ical leaders depend upon TO carry out
their theories MeXico's press is free
from control by any official agency,
therefore it is reasonable to believe that
ordinary newspapers in Mexico - not
those controlled by Communicative
the Mexican people pretty we'll round
ed idea of what is going on both at home
and abroad. Knowing that, the Mexican
people as a whole should know that the
United States has no desire to Inter
vene" in Mexico that Martin Dies could
not possibly get away with being involv
ed in any such plot as that against Trot-
sky's life and that Dies himself is, in
fact, subject to continual scrutiny in
congress.
Yet the Communist newspaper there
printed the sort of story it did-and un-
doubtedly lot of its radical readers
believed it.

NAVY REPLACING
OLD EOIIIPMENT

Next to the Spetd-up of con-
Struction. the navy has two other
important goals to reach with its
$3.50, 100000 wlndfall: replacement
or moderniZation of all old equip
ment-anti-aircra guns, small
arms, etc and the increasing of
production facilities of the navy
wherever needed. 1t holds the
speed-up most important of all
however.
BattleShipS now under cOnStruc-
ton. with the dates when they
were laid down, are as follows:
North Carolina. Oct 81 1887;
Washington, June IA, 1898; South
