Competition of Navies
i"TO sooner does the American squadron of six seaplanes
JLY make the long hop from California to Hawaii success
fully than Japan announces in London her intention of en
larging! her navy. London word is to the effect that Japan
will give the necessary two years' notice of purpose to ter
minate the naval limitation treaty. Under that treaty the
ratio was Great Britain 5, United States 5, Japan 3. Now
Japan is ambitious for parity with Great Britain and the
United States.
This is a forecast of course of resumption of competi
tion in naval construction which it was the purpose f the
'Washington conference of 1921 and of subsequent interna
Itional gatherings to bring to an end. The prospect is a gloomy
.cne for the tax-burdened peoples of the earth. If Japan in
' creases her navy, this country will strive to keep ahead; and
Great Britain will keep up with us. Other countries will fol
low; and the old spiral of competitive construction will be
resumed.
But the successful flight to Hawaii is itself a threat to
"sea power by surface craft. Bombers which can fly in per
' feet formation across such a wide expanse of water have a
, cruising range that makes the capital warship an uncertain
security in future wars. If American aircraft can sail to
Hawaii, Japanese aircraft may do the same thing, though
they could not land safely there unless their troops or ships
controlled the islands. Thus Hawaii becomes increasingly
. important as a base both for naval operations and for air
craft" . . .
iThe world refuses to learn from the fate of empires.
War universally condemned, still through fear or greed,
dominates the4 peoples of earth. Japan now cannot afford
navies and armies such as the larger powers; but Japan in
control of Manchuria and part or all of China would pos
sess resources which might challenge any power. That no
doubt is the ambition of the war party now dictating the
j onoves in Japanese affairs.
Strife in HOLC
ALL is not peaceful around, the home (loan) fireside in
Oregon. The dissension in fact is heard outside the
walls and now the whole public is taken into the confidence
of the disputants. Mister Lipscomb is the boss and Horace
Walter was the assistant boss. Now Walter is out and pacing
the vestibules of the mighty in Washington. When it comes
to talking Horace is a regular Floyd Gibbons, and by the time
.he gets through the administration from the president down
to the office boys of HOLC will all know what is wrong in
Oregon.
Stevenson, the first big chief of HOLC was a southern
democrat, who found good democrats for all positions. Now
Fahey is in charge and he gave Lipscomb carte blanche to
. do some firing in Oregon. Walter beat Lipscomb to the
draw with a resignation shot from the hip in the middle of
. the afternoon, right after Lipscomb rushed into print with
Fahey's message.
Lipscomb it seems, took offense at the frequent appear-
; ances of Walter at luncheon clubs where he would make
speeches explaining how HOLC was going to relieve the dis
tressed home mortgagor. He got to thinking that Walter was
' more active politically than he was statistically on loans. He
, says his office has made only 625 loans and should have
closed 1200. Walter counters "with the assertion that Lips
comb made him the spokesman and speech-maker for the or-
ganization. Probably Congressman-National Committeeman
Pierce will have fresh worries over this situation, just after
. he has gotten over being blamed as a double xxx-er in the
-United States marshalship.
After the Oregon democrats get through letting each
other's blood perhaps the HOLC will begin to function and
the government loans begin to come through. The distressed
mortgagors may cry out with impatience, But the imme
diate issue is who is to stay on the government payroll.
' Budding Ambitions
THE mild winter is setting more than raspberries to bud
ding. Politically ambitious men are feeling the sap rise.
E. A. McCornack of Lane county has Announced his candi
dacy for joint senator from Lane and Linn counties, a post
now held by Sen. Joel Booth of Lebanon. McCornack has
been a member of the lower house for several terms and
enjoys a high standing in that body.
t According to the Oregon City Enterprise Sen. J. E.
Dunne is surveying the political scene with a view to run-;.-
ning for governor. Active in dairying legislation, a joint au
thor of the milk control law, and long identified with motor
license and truck legislation, Sen. Punne has become well
known over the state of Oregon. He sort of stands in between
the radicals and conservatives, some of his votes leaning
one-way and some another. If Dunne enters he will enliven
the campaign at any rate.
-" It 4s early yet ; and frosts may crinm the berry buds and

The Woodburn Independent thinks that one cause of the de

private business at cutthroat prices, like printing envelopes. Yet

Scraps of history
of Oregon Indian wars:
French Prairie wives superior:
U
(Continuing from yesterday:)
The propaganda used on the coast
Indians by the Rogue represen
tatives of Chief John, including
his half-breed ally, Enos, was that
the whites over the mountains in
Jackson county had aU been slain
and that if the tribesmen of the
coast country would kill those in
that section, no whites would be
left.
Numbers of the coast Indians,
when they found they had been
deceived, gave themselves up and
were ready to be sent, to the res
ervation. During the Rogue River war of
1855-6, a man named John 'Bee
son attracted a good deal of at
tention by writing letters to the
newspapers attacking the whites
and defending the Indians.
Beeson was a foreigner by
birth, but a naturalized citizen of
the United States, who had in
1853 come from Illinois to the
Rogue river valley. He said in his
letters that the Indians were a
friendly, hospitable and generous
race, and that the war of 1852
and the one then raging were Jus
tifiable on the part of the Indians
and atrocious on the part of the
whites and he supported his
views by quotations from United
States officers and Dr. John Mc
Loughlin. He lampooned the democratic
party of Oregon, was censorious
toward Governor Curry and his
advisers, and exceedingly unjust
to the people of southern Oregon.
In short, he made himself hated
by practically -all the whites.
Beeson then began writing for
the San Francisco Herald, and,
the fact becoming known that he
was aiding in the spread of the
prejudice already created against
the people of Oregon by the mil
itary reports of such men as Gen
eral Wool and some of his subor
dinate officers, public meetings
were held to express Indignation.
Invited to one of these, in
nnnthArn flrprnn. without notifi
cation of the purpose, Beeson had
the mortification of having read
one of his letters to the Herald,
which had been Intercepted for
the purpose, together with an ar
ticle in the New Tork Tribune
supposed to emanate from him.
and of listening to series of
resolutions severely condemna
tory of him. He wrote of this
meeting:
"Fearing violence, I fled to the
ion i Fort Lane) for protection,
and was escorted by the U. S.
troops beyond the scene of excite
ment." . -
Beeson published a book of 14S
pages in 1858, called "A Plea for
the Indians," in which he boast
ed of the protection aiven him h
the troops, "who," he said, "seem-
eo io regard the volunteers with
contempt."
Apparently finding hia anhwt
acceptable to some classes, he fol

confronted by a citisen of Wash

The Statesman of Dec. 28,
1858, contained an article to the
effect that in a meeting address
ed by Beeson at the Cooper In
stitute, New York, he was con
fronted and his assertions dis
puted by Captain Fellows of Ore
gon. This was Albert M. Fellows,
one of the four organizers on
July 4, 1852, of the First Congre
gational church of Salem, who
had been a member as first lieu
tenant of Company F, mounted
volunteers, mostly from Marion
county, in the yakima war of 1855
6. When Bennett was killed in
battle, Lieutenant Fellows was
raised to the position of captain.
Bennett, as most readers know,
was one of the three Salem men
who were the discoverers of gold
in California; built the famous
Bennett House, where the Ma
sonic temple, Salem, now stands,
was one of the earliest steam
boatmen on the upper Willamette,
and in other ways was a leader
of affairs in early Oregon.
".
It was said that in 1860 Beeson
was about to start a paper in New
York City, to be caUed the Calu
met. In 1863 he endeavored to get
an appointment in the Indian de
partment, but, being opposed by
the Oregon senators, failed. He
certainly would fall. B. F. Har
ding was at that time Junior sen
ator from Oregon, and had been
the last territorial secretary of
state; held the last named office
while the Yakima and Rogue Riv
er Indian wars were being fought,
and of course knew what a fool,
u not scoundrel, Beeson was.
The senior U. S. senator was
J. W Nesmith, who was colonel
of volunteers in the Yakima war
and a captain and interpreter in
the 1S53 Rogue River war, and
had fought the Rogues before;
and knew more about Indians by
actual experiences than Beeson
could have imagined in his wild
est dreams; experiences dating
back to the covered wagon train
Journey of 1843. Of course, with
that opposition. Beeson failed In.
gloriously in getting the fob h
sought.
The total loss of TT. S trnnnq
in the fateful battle of The Mea- i
down May 27 and 28, 1856, was

If CaDt. Smith had fnfprtafnrf
feelings of contempt for the vol
unteers, a claimed by Beeson
was the general attitude of U. S.
army officers, his sentiment
were changed after his later ex
periences la lighting Indians. A
writer ia The Statesman of June
24, 1856". likely a Yoluntrer mrf.
this comment:
"Smith was a brave officer, but
he was no match for Indian cun
ning when he took th nnHi
John intended, where he could be
surrounded, and in rifle range of
another eminence, while he had
but 30 rifles. This fight in an
open place, standing up to be shot
at, at rifle range, was. what
amazed and at last amused
the Indians. The well conceived
pian oi me craity chief (John)
failed; but it would have failed
still more signally if Smith had
sent foe reinforcements on first
receiving John's challenge, and
had ' stationed himself where he
could- run away If hr-wished. '

In the fall of th asm t
(1851), Capt. Smith and his drag
oons joined CoL Steptoe'a cora
saand ia helping to put the fin
ishing touches to the Yakima war.
and by that time his contempt
for volunteers, if he ever had
any, was entirely overcome.
As the reader has noted, Capt.
Smith rose to the rank of a ma
jor general In the Union army a
little more than half a dozen
years later.
The writer is hearing from per

The Safety

Letters from
Statesman Readers
Interesting are many of the ar
ticles printed in the editorial
pages of the American press.
The Salem Statesman, Capital
Journal, Oregenian and Oregon
Journal have not been exception
al when they have printed num
erous articles upon their editorial
pages condemning the principles
and practices ot the American
communist party.
Bernarr McFadden, the famous
and successful American physical
culturist, states that "truth is
Btranger than fiction."
P. T. Barnum said: "A sucker
is born every minute."
All right, keeping these two
quotations In mind, let us see if
t her have or have not any bear
ing upon the Quality and type of
the editorials appearing In the
eauonar' sections of the average
American capitalist press.
Here are some of the excemts
from Willamette valley news
papers:
"Communists are never satisfi
ed, no matter what they are giv
en.
"Agitators seek to stir up dis
cord rather than promote better
conditions."
"Communists use most brutal j
methods to gain their ends." 1
Some years ago the writer was I
offered a detective (stool pigeon)
job upon the anti-communist de
tail of the Portland police depart- j
ment by both O'Day and 'Bacon,
who are at the head of that sec-1
tion. , .
When the writer inquired as to
the reason for any judicial op
position to this organized and le
gal political party, the last named
reason was given as a cause by
Mr. Bacon.
Communists are never satisfied
because they are never satisfied
as yet, viz: To date in the U.
S. A.
Their doctrine calls for a dic
tatorship of the proletariat the
common people: and the eUmlna
tion of the capitalist system with
its ultra-wealthy individuals con
trolling the workers at the mental,
physical, and economical sacri
fices of the latter. So far that
has not been granted nor other
wise obtained and of course they
remain unsatisfied with petty and
paltry adjustments that do not re
move what they deem the cause
of common people's troubles. . .
V,
Agitators seek to stir no not
merely discord but righteous re
sentment against Intolerable con
ditions for the improvement of the
latter. For instance, dnrinr labor

. "So I hear." assented Julian soft
ly. "I hear that gentlemen eant

courteously, "though I may be mis
taken. Perhaps your European trip

Blair's dimity and caution were
lost in rage: These were his people.
This upstart was making him
ridiculous.
"My bridge J needs no improve

game before yen were ever heard

Julian sadly shook his head.
"You've lost your grip these
later days. So far as I know you
haven't fi cored in tournament
bridge since the Indian Wars."
"I could beat you tomorrow,'
snapped' Blair, flinging prudence to
the winds. "You're nothing but a
bar of wind." ;
"Now, now Reuben," said Julian
ia a fatherly fashion. "Now, now.'

Suddenly Julian's eyes were
sharp and bright as knives.
"What about my challenge then?
What about my challenge, Reuben?
Do yen mean to say that you're ac
cepting it at last 7 "
Reuben Blair was trapped and
knew it. There eould be no with
drawal now. If he declined the chal
lenge now by tomorrow he would
be the hraghmr stock of his Kttle
world. In ether moods Patricia
might have found Blair's harried
air amusing, might have found
amusing the fact that Haverholt
had goaded his pompous little en
emy on to the decision he had so
long evaded.
"Let's get out of this," Clark
suggested, now. "Or," he added
quickly, "do you want to join
Julian?"
"No," she murmured, "no."
A crowd was gathering. Word of
the encounter between Blair and
Haverholt h a d flown about. The
knot about the two ancient en
emies was increasing. There was
excitement in the air. The battle
of ballyhoo was taking form, the
bridge battle of the century, the
bridge sharpers versus the ladies
and gentlemen.
Patricia's head ached, ached.
Nothing mattered now. She wanted
only to escape this foolish, chat
tering crowd. She excused herself
to Clark and crept into the dress
ing room. Martha found her there
minutes later, Marthe, jubilant, ex
cited, delighted that her ball had
been the scene of a sensation.
"The bridge marathon is aU ar

here. "The newspaper men want

"They were here for the ball,"
Marthe supplied shortly. "They

ballroom. They're waiting," She re
garded the younger girl with nar
rowed eyes. "Or dont you want to
come?" What she meant was,
"Dont you dare?"
Patricia dared. What had she
now to lose? She stood ia the cen
ter of the ballroom beside Julian
and the unhappy, wretched Blair
while the flashlights boomed and
the acrid smell of powder filled the
air. The battle of ballyhoo had
begun. Ths bridge marathon was
under way. It would, thought Pa
tricia, as she smiled into the cam
eras, it would destroy her before It
ended. Just now she could not care.
The morning papers went for the
battle of the bridge experts in at
great big way. Julian had picked
a perfect spot to fling down and
force his challenge. The March
Ball. That helped the story. The
public interest in the game of con
tract helped. But, the thing that
made the coining battle a perfect
piece of news was Julian and Ju
lian's personality and Julian's au
dacious and amaxdng impudence. -"Julian
Haverholt, self -styled
bridge sharper, winner of the East
ern Championship for the past
three years, offers to bet ten thou
sand dollars against ten cents, that
he and his niece will defeat Reuben
Blair, elder statesman of. the
game."
Blair had angrily declined the
bet. That only increased the humor
of Julian's terms. The city rocked
with laughter. The public loves a
scrap. Subway straphangers were
discussing Haverholt and Blair,
housewives in New Jersey, bank
ers down in Wall Street, knew all
about the marathon. The terms of
the coming match were scattered
broadcast; not a newspaper but
printed them.
Blair and Haverholt had agreed
to play two hundred rubbers of
bridge, never less than five an eve
ning, two hundred rubbers to rule
out the element of luck.
"They'll be playing bridge tin

to another.

the other half was to be staged at
the Carlton j Chambers, the ultra
conservative, smart hotel where
Reuben Blair had lived for years.
"I'm not sure about this special
type of publicity," murmured the
manager of the Carlton Chambers
to the owner.
"You're craty, Tom! The match
is going to make newspaper his
tory, mark my words; Gosh, what a
break for as."
Haverholt and Blair finally set
tled on a wager, which the latter
reluctantly accepted as fitting to
his dignity. Julian bet twenty thou
sand dollars to five thousand that
be would triumph, the winnings in
either case to go to charity.
1 hope they dont ask me to
take each money," sniffed Miss
EUoise Petty, who ran a home f ot
decrepit horses. "I'd like a chance
to tun it dewa. It's tainted money,
won by gambling, whatever fancy
name they call it by. It's a disgrace
that decent newspapers would print
such stusT Fm going to stop my
subscriptions instantly."
Julian Haverholt promised t
stick to his system of bedding, a
system that, in his modest estima
tion, was preeminent, unique in its
field for accuracy and precision
His little red book was for sale is
any book store. Oddly, Blair used
identical terms in describing t h t
system which he had invented ans
would employ. His little green book
was similarly for sale.
"I always use the Haverholt sys
tern myself," a society woman de
clared to her friends.
"When you remember it, don't
you mean that, Janie? Now, just
the other day, do you recall that
heart hand ..."
Haverholt and Blair were in com
plete accord on one point The bat
tie of the experts would automati
cally decide who was the greatest
bridge player in the world. In their
minds, and in the public mind, the
affair had the definite quality of a
prize fight championship. Othei
lesser experts, reading the papers
over breakfast coffee, hardly fan
cied that interpretation. There were
muttering of dissent ia many
bridge' clubs, vain muttering. It
was too late. The ball had started
rolling. The battle of ballyhoo was
in its stride.
