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.

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

planning to attend. Including mem
bers of the veterans' association, the
auxiliary and their families. Depart
ment officers from Portland will also
be present.
R. G. "Brick" Anderson will act
