GOLDEN DREDGE
Pathfinder Magazine)


B. l.. Cushing, California, owned the
worlds biggest dredge. 1t cost him
$150,000 to build, $25O,OOO more to
equip.
Came war, and navy leased it for S2O,-
600 month. Navy took it to the Pacific,
dug out harbors, dredged up sand for
airfields. Back in California Gushing
banked his $4,000 a month.
Two and half years later navy add
ed some figures, saw it had paid Cush-
ing $600000 and the war was still going
on. 1t directed the War Shipping Ad-
ministration to take over. VISA con-
fiscated it, sent out army engineers to
appraise its value. Army came back
with the news it would take $1.4 million
replace the dredge and that's what navy
would have to pay.
It was too much. Said navy: Well
rcnegotiatc the lease, get some of it back
that way" Gushing, trying to oblige,
told the navy to give him a flat Million
forget the renegotiationS.
Navy said it Would have to do some
more figuring.

As Johnson Opponent

mobile assembly plant, travelled in
Germany for the YMCA. taught
school and been in congress since
1886 Although his party voting rec
ord is spotless, he is independent
and probably would lack support Of
party chieftainS.
The fourth congressman, Patter-
son, has an in and out record as
a vote getter. He was elected lieut.
enant governor in 1888 and ran
ahead Of former Gov. Culbert Olson
when both were defeated for re-
election in 1912 However. he trailed
badly in a large field which oppos-
ed Johnson for denomination in
the 1912 primary election.
Rogers, whose possible candidacy
is only in the rumOr stage, would
have the advantage Of having serv-
ed in this war He was elected to
congress while in the army. and
chose to stay in the service when
forced to make a choice.
Kenny. probably the best Demo-
cratic vote getter in the state on
past performance, insists that he
wants only to be reelected attorney
general. However, he has changed
his mind before, as in 1912 when he
announced himself as 2 candidate
for governor and then ran for attor-
ney general.
Political observers contend that
Col. Roosevelt has postwar politi-
cal ambitions and have tentatively
listed him as a senatorial candidate
because they don't believe he has
the necessary five years California
residence to run for governor.

Preliminary to the Secretary S
arrival diplomatic officials appear
ed to view the London conference
of Foreign Ministers, which he
has been attending since early last
month, as a setback but not a
permanent block in the effort of the
victorious Allies to bring order
and peace out of the postwar dis
organization Of the world.
The central point of disagree
ment was the insistence of the
United States and Britain on in
GLIDING France and China in work
on Balkan peace treaties.
There are various theories as to
why the argument should have
developed as it did. One is be-
lief that Russia still wants the
world run under a Big Three COM
bine as a matter of principle.
Another argument is that the in
terests of the western Allies will
be better served if the influence
of less powerful nations such as
France and China can be brought
