such priorities, Morton said. Here
the biggest need is for commercial.

Expect Toll To Grow
AS reports of the catastrophe
came in from every hand over
damaged communications facili-
ties, it was evident that the death
toll probably would grow when the
full extent Of the catastrophe was
determined.
Ships burst their moorings. Small
craft were smashed and hurled high
ashore. Waterfront SURROUNDINGS
and homes were wrecked and
flooded. Cars were engulfed and
hurled hundreds of yards by the
irresistible tons of sea water.
Little East Island, on French
Frigate shoal $50 miles northwest
of here, was completely inundated,
the Coast Guard reported. The
fate of its small Naval garrison
was unknown.
Communications Hit
First rough estimates placed
Honolulu harbor damage at more
than $4,000. and Hilo suffered
worse. The collection of damage
and casualty reports was ham,
pered by the rupture of commu-
nications and power lines al many
points and by the disappearance
of stretches of coastal road and

The method of collective security
cannot be used lawfully against any
one of the great military powers
without its consent. This is equiv
alent, of course, to saying that it
can never be used. For no nation
will ever conceivably authorize the
rest of the world to wage total war
against itself. Moreover, the rule of
unaninity pro ects all other states
against collective coercion unless,
perchance, there is some state so
small, so isolated and so unimpor-
tant that it is not the ally or client
of any one of the great powers.
Thus the United Nations, when
they framed the charter of their
organization, renowned in prac-
tice though not in theory the
method of collective security.
There are many who deem this a
reactionary event in international
affairs and argue that every effort
must be made to abolish the veto
and to establish the principle of
collective security. They will have,
I believe, to reconsider their posi-
ton. In 1919 the Uni ed States
rejected the Covenant because it
would not submit to or participate
in a commitment to wage war to
make peace. Neither against ia
pan in 1881 nor even against Italy
in 1886 were the members of the
League of Nations willing to fulfill
their commitment. In 1945 the So
Wet Union most positively, and the
United States most probably would
not have ratified the charter if ii
had in fact authorized the method
of collective security.

Pacific ocean Monday. Travelling
with airplane speed across vast
distances, it hurled death and de-
struction on shorelines in Hawaii,
Alaska, and central California.
The Navy late Monday warned
North Pacific shipping to be pre-
pared for 80 to 10O-foot waves
following a sea of destructive
magnitude" at Unimak near the tip
of the Alaska peninsula.
A heavy death toll was indicated
as early and incomplete reports
told of an Alaskan lighthouse over

men-of rs known dead and miss
ing in the Hawaiian islands and
others probably swept away, and
of the death of one Californian
seized by a huge wave and car
ried out to sea.
In Alaska, the district Coast
Guard officer at Ketchikan report
ed that a tidal wave, preceded by
an earthquake, had destroyed the
Scotch Cap lighthouse with all It's
personnel. The lighthouse stood at
the entrance of Unimak Pass,
guarding the entrance to the Boring
sea from the north Pacific. A near
by station, which reported the dis
aster, was badly damaged but es-
capped casualties.
Wave At Unimak
The Army Signal corps in Seattle
said its Adak station had a report
of a tidal wave at Fort Randall,
near Unimak, but had no details.
Up to 1915 pm, Pacific time,
there was no sign of tidal wave
at the Naval base on Adak island,
nor had an earthquake been felt
at that remote Aleutian station.
Adak reported, however, that It
was unable to contact the Signal
corps station at Fort Glenn on Uni
max island, 400 miles east of Adak
and about so miles west of Dutch
Harbor.
The Navy warning, based on the
tidal wave at Unimak, did not men
ton casualties or damage at Uni
max station. It said the center of
the tidal wave was undetermined
but "believed to be a latitude SO
north, longitude 1854 west"
Escapes Full Force
California appeared to have es-
capped the full force of the tidal
disturbance.
The giant waves which crashed
on central California beaches,
however, terrified beholuders and
carried at least one man to his
death. The elderly victim was one
of two men strolling on beach at
Santa Cruz, south of San Francis
CO, when great wave rushed
upon them. The survivor said he
seized his companion and helped
him to his feet and then lost hold
of him as the outgoing wave tum-
bled them in the surf.
Huge waves also were reported
at Half Moon bay, south of San
Francisco, and at Bolinas and
Point Arena, north of San Fran
cisco. Some points reported prop
erty damage.
There was no unusual activity
on the San Francisco beach front,
but a 6-foot wave hit Santa Bar
bara beach in Southern California.
Ships Break Loose
San Pedro, Just below Los Ange-
les, reported one tanker and two
cargo ships broke dock lines and
were pushed back into the docks
by tugs.
A 1O-eoot wave hit the Oregon
coast at Charleston. at the en-
trance to Coos bay. No damage
was reported.
