DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
 War is still our most serious busi- ness. War costs us more than 70 percent of our budget. War deter mines both our domestic and for eign policies.
 In the conduct of foreign policy, our administration has improvised with juvenile optimism, losing ev- cry battle to the superior skill of our enemy. Yet, we cannot afford to imperil our physical detenses. We cannot risk being conquered.
 Naturally, when a situation is so critical, differences of opinion de- velop as to the best way to handle the situation. Thus, the Navy and Air Force differed, and that led to wild public recriminations. The problem centers on two factors:
 1. How much can this country afford to spend year after year on the national defense without wrecking the national economy;
 2. After the maximum permis- sable amount is settled upon, how is the money to be allocated?
 The responsibility for the con- duct of the national defense rests upon Louis Johnson, Secretary of Defense; the responsibility for de- termining the amount to be spent upon the President and the Con- gress.
 The amount that can be spent on

CHAIR FROM NORGE
 COMES TO MUSEUM
 A5FLIGHT MEMENT0

A narrow high backed chair, made of rattan and steel. arrived at the Territorial Museum this morning to take it's place among memen- toes of the famous flight of the Italian dirigible Norge over the North Pole "A years ago. The chair has been in possession of Carl Lomen of the family of northern traders, in Seattle. and he recently announced to Museum Director Edward Keithahn that he : would donate it to the Territory.
 The souvenir takes its place with door, an aluminium gasoline tank parts of the 348-foot ships gas bag, i and other fittings already in the museum. Keithahn will place it in the Wickersham Room, a library at one end of the museum, with chair from the ill-fated Islander which sunk in 1901 and a chair made by Russian priest in Alaska around mld-l9th century.
 The chair was the only piece of furniture remaining when the craft came down at Teller after it's 8,000- mile venture over the top of the i world Crew members had thrown everything else overheard to tighten the big ship.
 The flight was led by Gen. Um- berto Mobile of the Italian Air Force, Ronald Amundsen of Nor way and Lincoln Ellsworth of the United States. A handwritten copy of the navigation account of the voyage, written by Mobile, is at the museum here Mobile designed the craft and first flew her in 1924
 Her specifications today sound puny, although in her day she was mighty ship. She had three 250- horsepower engines. and flew at 50 miles an hour-and could be pushed to 70 if the occasion arose!
 She was headed for Nome after her takeoff from Spitzbergen but a large number of Eskimos were spot ted at Teller, and because large crowd was needed to get her to the ground, she was landed there, and broken up on May l3, 1926 Her engines and a few fixtures were sent back to Italy, the remaining parts of her scattering from Nome to Seattle. Portions of her "en- velope"-or gas bag-were around the Seward Peninsula for years and used to write upon by the na- tives.
 The chair was meant to be bolted to the deck, and is somewhat precarious to sit in now because it might easily go over backward with out being anchored. It has new up- holstery, the old material having been burned somehow after the ship landed.
 The chair was brought north gratis by the Alaska Steamship Company.

the national defense is limitless the amount that will be spent IS limited by the judgement of the President and the Congress as to how much the national economy will permit. For the present budget, the amount is $13,000, ,000, 1000.
 Secretary Johnson has emphasiz- ed economy and has won the dis like of the following elements in our population contractors who live by enormous expenditures; those or ficers of the various services who prefer high expenditures without increased effectiveness; the pro- Russian crowd who want so much spent that it will crack our na- tional economy; the pro-British crowd who want us to maintain as much of the British Empire as is left.
 These groups take pot-shots at Secretary Johnson. Their latest falsehood, however, sounds true be- cause of the previous quarrel be- tween the Navy and the Air Force. They try to give the impression that violent quarrel has develop ed between Secretary of Defense Johnson and Secretary of the Air Force Stuart Symington. The ob- ject of the story is to imply that Johnson can get along with no one
 I have thoroughly investigated this story and have confirmed that it is lie.
 The Alsop Brothers, who rather fancy themselves great experts, have been calling Secretary of De- fense Johnson a liar and have ac- cused him of fooling the American people. The gist of their complaint is that while he is predicting ec- onomy, he is impairing the effici- ency of the defense forces. Empha- sis is placed upon the appearance of discrepancy in public statements made by Louis Johnson and Stuart Symington.
 I have examined the public state- ments of both these officials and there are no actual discrepancies.
 The gist of the thinking of both is identical:
 Johnson says:
 $. Our establishment of de- fense must be so strong-in the conception of the President and myself and the joint chiefs of staff it must be so strong that it will de- ter anyone who wants to start trouble in this world; and secondly, it must be so strong that if some body does start trouble, there is no question about America being the victor in the final outcome of that discussion"
 Symington says:
 America is reconciled to the necessity for a peacetime defense program greater than ever required in the past. We must remain stead- fast and alert until that day-God hasten it-when we can nave com- plete assurance that any power, or combination of powers, which threaten peace will abandon their aggressive schemes and participate effectively in the community of na- tions to advance, and not destroy, civilization"
 But there is more than that. The President Johnson, Symington and every other official associated with the national defense now have the problem of turning fat into muscle, of using economy to produce eff ficiency, of ending the cost of. Mexican and civil wars installations so that the needs of 1850 can be met without wrecking our national economy. a
 In word, money must be saveds

to be used to the best advantage. This is what the Department of Defense is trying to do. It is dif- ficult task under any circumstance es; it is particularly hard when every plan to accomlish both econ omy and efficiency encounters un- fair opposition.

Learning to Enjoy Ones Own Company
HELPS Stove off Curse of Loneliness

I know a woman who has small
child whom she puts in a room
alone every day for several hours
with only two or three simple toys
with which to occupy himself. He
is thrown absolutely upon himself
for diversion.
II am trying to teach him how
to develop his own resources" says
the mother. II am trying to teach
him how to find companionship
and entertainment in his own
society. ! am trying to save him
from the curse of loneliness that
blightS so many lives. don't
want him to grow up to be one of
those who always have to hive in
a crowd and be going places and
doing things in order to be happy.
"Of course. ] don't want my
child TO be a hermit or to be anti
social in any way. I want him to
grow up to be what we call a good
mixer and to enjoy the society Of
his fellow creatures, but I don't
want him to be simply sunk If he
has to be by himself.
"It has always seemed to me
that no people are so much to be
pitied as those who are such poor
company for themselves that they
are bored to death when left alone.

comes a time of grief or misfor-
tune or old age when the crowd

and one is of all men the most
if he has not learned to

'But this misfortune can never
happen to those who have within
themselves the ability to make
their own happiness. They are
never bored because their, minds
are filled with the wisdom of the
ages that they have garnered from
books, and with the memories Of
the thrilling things that they have
seen and done. No companion
could be more entertaining and
than their thoughts.
They can chum with themselves
and, in reality, are never less alone
than when alone.
"And think of the tragedies that
are caused by loneliness! The
chief of police of a great city once
told me that loneliness was re-
sponsible for more boys and girls
going astray than any other
cause. He said a boy would come
to the city from a farm or a vii
lage where all Of his life he had
lived in close association with his
neighbors and had his part in
their activities. In the city he
would know no one. have no COM
