A survey of timber breakwaters

The COMMITTEE will recon-

periodic overflow, it is reported.
Col. E. E. Haring, district engi-

ent breakwaters were erected in
1910, having been duly authorized
by Washington. At that time, their
purpose in constructing the barri-
cade across the entrance to Pan
tego creek was to modify the ef-
fects of heavy seas driven in there
by tropical storms. An opening
was left at the mouth of the creek
for navigation clearance for boats
to get through the channel.

question in Washington is whether
the Soviet Union is moving to dis
organize the western world ana
China, on the principle Of divide
and rule.
Whether there Is to be a long
peace or an even more destructive
world war depends on whether Mos
cow and Washington can convince
each other that neither needs to
fear what each Of them does in fact
fear. That cannot be done by argu-
ing about the frontier line in 1stria
or about the election laws in Ro'

absolutely frank discussion. with
no questions reserved as too deli
cate, of what the two governments
intend each about the other.
