IV use 01' a gesture Ol prepaiiinun mi
the next war?
I'his Issue waa clearly raised n op
ponents of tho scheme during the de
bate iu the House of Commons which
preceded passage of the iuivhi m
tor funds to construct the Singapore
strniiirhold. Arguments that lortiti-
catlon of Sinxitpore signuls the begin
ning of a new race of armaments imu
will lead England Into war either
with America or with Japan were
hurled at thu government by parlia-:
inenlarianti opposed to spending huge
sums to develop the proposed naval
base In the 1'aclfte.
Counter arguments of government
supporters, of course, disclaimed all,
purpose of building lor another war
and protested Britain's peaceful in
tentions. The vigor of the attack,
however, left no room for doubt that
much sentiment exists in responsible
British public opinion that the Sing
apore plan is merely a continuation of
the armament race which cuHnlnated
In )H in the greut World War.
Labor led the attack upon tho
Sluiraoore scheme, with many lib
eral members supportlns tho labor-
Ites. The 1-abor men frankly
charged Xhu government with pre
paring for a new war and warned
that the workeiH of tho country
would not rally to the support of
the nalion as they did in tho last
great conflict, ' .

ALASKANS PLAN
U.S.I1L
ANCHUUAGE, Alaska, A1) The
first air mall contract to be arranged
In Alaska has been completed be
tween the Salchaket Mining Company,
.operating In Jnterior Alaska, and the
Fairbanks aviation field whereby mall
and possibly supplies will be delivered
In two hours' over a routu that now
requires ten days to travel, it is said.
It is also planned to take over several
mail contracts served from Fairbanks.
The initial work will be performed
by Carl B, Eilelson who will operate
the Fairbanks' plane. He expects to
make many trips of exploration and
udvLMilure In pioneering in aviation
in Alaska.
Having examined the principal
polniy in the territory and traveled
over the main used routes, Mr. Eilel
son sas there are ample natural land

Tlie new line will lap the copper
camp at Contact," whore, it is said,
a large body of ore has bet.-n Oncov
in the government's proposal. "I hato
to talk about a war with Japan," lie
leclarcd. "but this schemu makes one
think of it."
Tho uovernineiit'a contention that
the Singapore base was needed for i
Ihu defense of thu Empire was openly!
heoi'ied at by Alfred Short, one of the
leaders of tho Labor party.
"Against whom Is this defense
needed ?' lie asked. "Similar poli
cies have been pursued hitherto by
Kuropean nations and It has not dis
pelled tho fears, suspicious and
hatred:) that have been engendered
and have culuhlnated Id war. We have
no guarantee that we shall develop
this base merely as a defense for our
trade ami that it will not end finally
in war."
Government supporters did not de
ny the charge that the possibility oi
tuture wars was a consideration (ti
urlng in tho Singapore proposal.
l'repa ration for war as a guarantee
of peace was rrnnkly urged by several
Conservative members.
"For heaven's sake, be prepared for
war," was tho admonition hurled by
Admerul Sir Guy Gaunt, a veteran
lighter of tho British navy, "A base
at Singapore is important for peace
purposes and If you don t keei!
abreast of the time you are going
under. J.et us keep our Empire.
Give us Singapore and you will then
be fairly safe It Is on tho direct
tine to Australia."
Admiral Gauut's view was sup
ported by Sir Frederick Banbury in
a candid Tory broadside.
"The only precaution for peaco
and against war is to prepare lor
war and to show other countries
that wo Intend to protect our posi
tion," ho :iid. "Jf England will
learn the lessons of the war we will
have a strong army and navy."
Strong attacks also were made
against the proposal by members
who argued that tho cost would
eventually far exceed the orginal
estimate of approximately JiiO.OOU
ouo. Commander Ken worthy, a
Liberal, contended that It would bo
necessary to double the fleet and
build up a strong air force "to de-
looklng forward to and preparing for fend this nerve center of tho Eni-
a not her war which may mean the j pire." Ken worthy declared that if

"The Line is Busy"
When the telephone operator tells you " the line is
iusy," this fact has been made known to her by an elec
trical signal, which in the fraction of u second auto
matically indicates that the line called for is in use.
When "busy" reports are repeated on successive
calls for the same number, it is eenerally due to an
immoderate use of the called line. The length of a
te'ephone conversation is obviously beyond the control
of the telephone operator. Have confidence in her
vr rn she makes the report, "the line is busy."

Do You Find Shopping
A Pleasure?
SOME folks do. They're tlie modern shoppers the
ones who know just what they want how much to
pay exactly where they will find the right goods at the
right prices. , ,
They're the ones who realize the "value to them of
advertising. They make a practice of reading tlie advertisements-in
the newspapers. Sitting at ease in their
homes, they formulate their shopping programs. They
note the things that interest them particularly and plan
to cut out waste motion, unnecessary steps and lost time.
Planned in this fashion, shopping loses its terrors. It
no longer leaves you jazzy and paded. It starts you off
with a definite objective and brings you home with a feel
ing of something accomplished.
If you haven't been reading the advertisements, try out
the method. It's a good one.
The Advertisements Arc Your Good Friends
Cultivate Them!
