PROTEST AIMING

L. s. shipping firms trying 10
promote tourist travel TO South
America have filed protests
against any arming of their
ships unless and until there il q
declaration OF war.
These companies have invested
more than a million dollars in an
advertising campaign to develop
this trade. They were requested
specifically, by several govern
ment agencies. 10 make South
American travel more attrac-

was relied on 10 produce greater
understanding among the peo-
pies Of these continents. With
Latin America suffering Geo.

that tourists funds would help

vague name for the elaborate
facilities aboard each msn-o'-

Under that heading come such
varied activities as the ships

Then there are the motion pic

cameras, bathrooms. etc.-whleh
have become standard equip

Or there's the library, consist

probably subscriptions to tao or
three dozen magazines.
And athletic equipment for
the ships teams. owned by the
ship and worth plenty Of money
complete outfits for baseball.
boxing. football and all the rest.
But unquestionably the most
spectacular things of . non-war-
like nature aboard the nayy's
vessels are what might well be
termed pure iuxuries.
Under this classification the
items best known TO the average
person are the jewel-like boats,
whose use is divided almost
equally between transportation
and ballyhoo. For practical pur-
poses. the boats actually cost
several times the price of a
palmer but just as worthy a
boat.
But tradition and pomp also
have their own and important
place, and fancy boats help to
make a warship smart and taut
and thus boost the morale and
fighting efficiency OF same.

fancy boats, In frigate DAYS war
ship shippers had their boats
fsncied up out of their own
pockets and likewise provided
designs and funds for fancy uni
forms for boats crews)

item aboard warships that seems

probabilities of battle and the
navy's prime function: The sill

Every major American war
ship has such a priced possession
worth thousands of dollars. Al
most always it is a huge punch

goblets. although there's no rule

The red bugs that took charge
so prominently this summer are
members of the Dinoflagellate
family, which prolific tribe is

branch of the family goes in for
poisoning clans. oysters, etc. in
certain seasons and thus killing
people who eat them at such

Minister Dare is reported to be

of the discovery he had padded

misgiving, especially among the
older people, who remember the
catastrophe conditions Of 1915

The unjust rationing of food
stocks also has provoked resent

shops, party leaders receive
preferential treatment because
of their greater ability TO pay.
