Feb. 4. iAP "Tak ing one consideration with an other." the Paris polyglot police man's life is decidedly "a happy one," in which he differs from his Giibenian colleague.

(AP) Secretary Wilbur cited the loss of the S-4 as an argument for preparedness today before the' Women's Patriotic conference on national defense. "That loss stirred the hearts of the American people." he said, "and they have a right to know whether the navy department or any other department is to blame for placing those young men in that position. If they were to blame the nation will demand that some sort of punishment be meted out. "But what will the American people say'v to the present staff of the navy and the general board if we so shape our policy that when war comes our boys are forced into a worse position than the boys on the S-4. History will not exculpate us if for any reason, knowing the requirements of mod ern battle, we say to our children and our children's children that we are unwilling to give them a chance." In regard to the present naval construction program. Wilbur said "If we had asked for more we might well be criticized for ap pearing to seek great naval power, but until we replace what w sacrificed on the altar of peace we should not be criticized."
