WHY WE XEED A NAVY A few years ago a 'great many Americans would have beeh seriously disturbed by an announcement that their navy was to be' built up forthwith to treaty strength and made literally second to none. Today the news that this is to be done bothers hardly ; anyone; and this change of attitude measures the failure of . : American efforts to get the other nations of the world to agree oh an effective disarmament program, ' ' ' No peace-loving American need be ashamed of his coun try's record in respect to disarmament. Shortly after the close of the World War the United States fleet, counting vessels already built, vessels laid down and vessels definitely . . appropnated for, was by far the most powerful fleet ever dreamed of. ' ........... i . . , , " if the program then in effect had been completed, no other navy on earth could have hoped to cope with American sea strength. The Washington conference saw this country ; voluntarily throwing away the finest fighting ships ever built. Of our' own free will we scrapped our newest and . strongest warships, accepted parity with. England and pledged ourselves not to seek naval superiority. ; That was a magnificent beginning. But it was not follower up; and the fault for that failure does not rest on the Am erican government. Repeatedly during the next decade Washington sought to extend the arms reduction treaty and scale down world navies, and repeatedly other powers refused to go along. Sometimes it was England that stood in the way, sometimes France, sometimes Japan. ' As a result, "t has been made very apparent that world sentiment has not yet reached the point at which any gen uine, far-reaching naval disarmament ' program' is possible. We have tried, we have made sacrifices, but it is no go. We have what is left of the Washington treaty, but there is no likelihood that anything better can be obtained for years to come1.'1 : ' v That being the case, what is there left to do but build up to treaty strength? .The lime has not yet come in which we can discard our defenses. If we continue to maintain any navy at all, it has to be a good one; and since no one else is willing to go with us on a new reduction program, we can hardly do anything else than make our navy the best navy that the existing treaty permits. J. W. Ambler, district manaeer. I General Poods Sales Company, Inc.. j tcday announced that In signing the presidents re-employment agreement nis company Is putting this agree ment into operation In more than 50 lactones and sales offices with which the local organization la affiliated.

WAR VETERANS PICNIC SUNDAY GB1J SOMETHING FOR YOUR MONEY In spite of the wave of building we passed through after the war, reliable figures indicate that (VTper cent of the dwc'ljnKS in the country a total of over 14,000,000 struc tures were erected more than ten years ago. What this means is that there isn't as serious an overpro duction of homes as is generally believed. There are millions of dwellings which have gone to pieces to the extent that they should be torn down and replaced; millions more need extensive alterations and repairs to make them comfortable and attractive. ' There was never a better time to build, never a better time to repair and replace. Materials of all kinds arc at unprece dented low price levels. Million's of people have money to spend. They could, with great profit to themselves, invest a few hundred dollars to improve their property and at the same time give employ ment which would start other business and create more em ployment all over the country. Construction dollars create tin endless circle of purchasing power. ' It might be well to remember that jobs are cheaper than charity and that without jobs for all there soon won't lie anything left for charity. You get a great return on the money you spend on your properly now and it will act a tonic to the nation. SIGN OF UNDERSTANDING The Japanese, emperor's statement to Publisher Roy Howard that America and Japan must find n way of con tinuing unbroken their peaceful friendship is a welcome and an encouraging development, q This "hands aciuss the sea" talk is usually bunkum. When there is a solid commercial fougdaliQi back of it, however, it means something. There is such a foundation in the case of America and Japan, and it is due to grow larger and solidcr in the near future. Aside from these entirely practical considerations, is the fact that, war is both futile and foolish anyway. United Spanish War Veterans of Eastern Oregon and Eastern Wash ington will gather tomorrow at Im migrant Springs for a picnic. The program will open at 10 o'clock, lunch will be served at noon and. the re mainder of the day will be spent In games. a large group irom L.& uranae is planning to attend.
