XODAY IN BRIEF, IN AND OREGON AROUND A8 CUKOMCLED BV THE DAILY LEASED WIB8 OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS REAL STATESMEN NEEDED Trie clang of the hammers in American shipyards is about to sound at a louder, faster pitch than we have heard in years. Across the Pacific in the shipyards of Japan an equally accelerated clanging is about to begin; and unless all signs fail these two nations will presently be embarked upon a naval building race of the traditional type, in spite of treaties, gentlemen's agreements or any other forms of restraint It is very easy for an American to deplore this trend. No one who remembers the out-come of the world's last great naval building race between England and Germany can be blamed for dreading the advent of a new one. But it is not nearly so easy to say just how this race is to be avoided. Your pacifist, of couree, will remark that the way to avoid a race of this kind is to build no more warships under any circumstances ; to let the other chap lay down as many keels as he chooses and to pare your own establishment down year after year, secure in the knowledge that you yourself aren't going to war no matter what happens. But it isn't likely that many Americans will endorse this plan. The world is still a perilously disturbed and suspicion racked planet; international policies still have a way of col liding head-on, in spite of all we can do to prevent it; and while war may be a most costly and wasteful way of settling disputes, the world does not yet seem to have reached the point at wliich it can assure itself that war will be no more. In short, America has very solid reasons for maintaining a strong navy, and a government which failed to do so could properly be called short-sighted. And the same thing doubt less can be said of the Japanese. Which leaves us, perhaps, light where we started except that it all underlines the heavy responsibility which rests on the shoulders of the statesmen of the two nations. There are, after all, more reasons for the United States and Japan to be friendly than there are for them to be enemies. This country is Japan's l)est customer; Japan, in turn, buys heavily from the United States, and the development of Japan's Asiatic conquests should logically open still larger markets to American manufacturers. As both nations prepare for trouble, it should Ik? possible for their statesmen to work out a way whereby they could continue to live in peace. Self-interest on both sides of the Pacific dictates such a course. WILL ATTEND C. E. MEETING 111 S IlKCKfX CLARIFIED SALEM.
