not piled up our own and their bat
tleships on the beach.
Another incident that figured in
recent Congressional oratory was
the alleged engagement of an Amer
lean warship and a German sub
marine somewhere near Iceland
What happened was that one of our
destrOyers patrolling in those seas
learned through her detective APP
paratus of the proximity of the u
boat. There were British destoy-
ers in that vicinity and seen thru
periscope in the gathering dusk
it would be pretty hard to dis
tinguish one from the other. So
our craft dropped a few depth
bombs. while the sub was still so
far away as to preclude any dam
age to her. The Hitler boat took
the hint and kept away. l suppose
it would be the isolationist conten.
ton that the commander of our
destroyer should have communicate
ed his predicament to Washington,
had it submitted to Congressional
debate, and been guided by what
ever legislative decision was made
True, he might have been torpe-
dOed "by mistake" some weeks
previous to the Congressional de-
cision, but principle would have
been maintained.
This absurdity illustrates the
whole situation. In the days to
come thousand situations may
arise requiring immediate action to
avoid grave perils to American
lives and American safety general

to do sO-hiS father, when he occu-
pied the White House, didn't seem
to pay much attention to the prin-
ciple now urged by the son. When
things got confused in SantO Do
mingo, President Taft shot a bunch
of L. S. Marines into that island
to enforce our idea of how it's fl
nances should be conducted; nor
did he bother Congress when he re-
peated the process in Nicaragua.
AS a matter of fact. Presidents
ever since We became nation, es-
tablished and continued the pro-
cess of attending to immediate
matters and telling Congress about
it later. Thomas Jefferson took
that course in the Louisiana Pur-
chase on the frank ground that if
he put it up to Congress there
would have ensued debate so long
that the opportunity to acquire the
vast French territory would have
passed.
Theodore Roosevelt did not ask
Congress for permission to send
our fleet to the Caribbean, when
England and Germany manifested
purpose to blockade or lombard
Venezuelan ports in order to force
that country to pay certain debts.
Nor did he request legislative CO.
operation when he took steps in re-
lation to the Panama revolution
if he had done 80, we probably
would not have the Isthmian Canal
yet.
1t will be remembered that Pres
ident Coolidge had American Ma
rines chasing a Nicaraguan aspir-
ant for the Presidency of that ma
ton through the jungles-without
Congressional authority and
later had General Mccoy, with his
Marines. police the election down
there We bombarded Vera Cruz
and took temporary possession of
the city without Congressional
blessing and Pershing invaded
Mexico in chase of Villa, on the
same basis.
Outside the Hemisphere
The argument is made by the iso-
lationists that these were incidents
appertaining to the Western Hem
isphere - but there is no Consti-
tutional provision limiting the exer-
else of the powers of the Comman-
der-in-Chief to any one particular
part of the globe where American
interests are threatened. Moreover
I there was no hemispherical ques-
ton when we sent troops to march
on Pekin during the. Boxer Rebel
lion, or long before, when We dis
patched warships to Samoa; and
we would probably have tangled

Establishment of an American
military base on Iceland is gener-
ally applauded as an obviously in.
telligent element in our defense
preparations.
Of course, the isolationists are
clamoring that the President should
have gone to Congress and gained
Congressional cooperation in the
project before closing up the deal,
and there has been much oratory
concerning infractiOn of the con-
stitutiOnal provision reserving to
Congress the power to declare war,
etc.
Now just suppose the President
had gone to Congress with his pro-
posal that Iceland should be garri-
soned by Yankee troops as part of
our defense program, and particu-
larly to forestall Hitler from seiz-
ing that vantage point - Senator
Wheeler would have stressed his
determination to oppose what he
calls an approach to war; Senator
Nye would have voiced his varia-
ton of the theme and Senator Taft
would have contributed his version
of the limitations on the Presidents
powers as Commander-in-Chief of
the armed forces of the United
States. There would be debate
running into weeks, in the course
of which the full details of our
plans and specifications of the pro-
posed base construction would
have been ventilated
What Herr Hitler would be doing
in the interim is anybody's guess.
1t seems quite possible, had there
been such a debate, that an Ameri-
, can transport - if one were finally
, sent would have had an excel
| lent chance Of humping into a mine
or being sunk by a submarine. Sen
| ator Taft is also much exercised
because an American engineering
firm is building a naval base in
Northern Ireland - Ulster. In this
he sees the establishment of a
Yankee base. Actually, it is pure
ly a British project, paid for by
them. Doubtless, American skilled
folks are on that job Incidentally,
what on earth would the United
States want base in England for?
The Britons would be only too
happy to have us use anything
they've got.
Half the factories in Russia were
built by Americans, but nobody
suggested that on that account
they were camouflaged American
bases. Half the railroads in the
United States were built with Brit
ish financing - that did not make
them British.
The answer is that the isolation
lists are committed to the theory
that the President is bent on get
ting us into the war and so construe
every act as a covert attempt to
usurp Congressional authority, etc.
The Taft Precedent
This business of consulting, Or
not consulting, Congress is per-
haps the Oldest controversy in our
governmental history. Though
Senator Taft thinks the President
should not proceed of his own mo-
ton in such an enterprise as es-
tablishing a base in Iceland-With
the consent, if not the direct re-
quest of the Icelandic Government

HAVING OUR DOUBTS

A scientist who made a report on
alcohol before the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Science, surely made a distressing
statement with the conclusion that
folks who think drinking can be con-
trolled by will power, resolutions or
abstinence pledgese, are wrong and
that the people are laboring under
a delusion and popular misconcep-
ton" According to science, perhaps
there is need of physical treatment
to have a sure cure, but there are
many here in Kennewick who know
of cases where liquor addicts were
able to be cured of the habit thru
their own will power and tenacity.
Many a person has been helped to
overcome the drinking habit thru
pride for self and family. Religion
has brought many drunkards to a
right about-face. We still believe
it isn't all in medical and scientific
treatment!

GROUNDING DAY
Along comes "Groundhog Day"

Along comes "Groundhog Day"
and many of us are wondering if
he'll see his shadow on February Q.
Of course with such modern meth
DDS of weather predicting, you may
not be of the old-fashioned school
who give thought to the grounding
theory. In fact, we can't tell an in
quiring Courier-Reporter reader
just where this grounding business
really originated. We know that the
belief goes that if he comes out and
sees his shadow, he returns to his
hole for another six weeks Of win
ter weather. If the day is dark and
the grounding fails to see his
shadow, you are supposed to get out
the seed packets, do a bit of spading
in the flower beds, dust off the
screens, for according to grounding
predictions, winter is over. Do as
you like at your house, we are wait
ing awhile over at our place!

OFF OF THE STORE

The estimate gives the total ex-
penditure of a family making
$1,236 a year, as making more trips
to the grocery store than any 9TH
er place of business. We spent one
fourth of our income at the grocery
store, during the last year. The
general merchandising stores came
in second, apparel and shoe stores
were third, household furnishings
and radios next, followed by auto
mobile and accessories, filling sta
tons, restaurants and bars, build
ing material and hardware stores,
drug stores and miscellaneous ones
trailed in last with 1924 of our
money. This points to the fact that
the family in Kennewick still cares
for the appetite first. They build up
the body with food, then clothe it
and place about it the comforts of
living. There has been lot of
grocery advertising this past year
and you can't blame your editor
for wondering if that might have
something to do with this.
