THE DAILY TIDINGS ED ESTABLISHED IN 1876 ASH LA ND D A IL Y C. J . R E A D , MANAGING EDITOR NEWS EDITOR T ID IN G S Surplusses and Cruisers If anyone ha« tyeen worrying over how to dispose of the surplus in the federal treasury—and we presume there are people who fret over things like that—he may at oace pot his mind at ease. When - all other sources of expenditure fail, we can spend it on the navy. It appears, indeed, that unless we §tand ready recklesely to jeopardize the security and freedom of the republic we shall have to spend it «11 on the navy, and a lot more besides. : This » sad news to gome tp us, right after we have been celebrating the idea of peaee. on earth and good will to and among men, and with the Ijeague of Nations busy, the four-power pact func tioning with noiseless efficiency, and the glorious results of the Harding disarmament conference still fresh in our memory. But the sad truth is that we. were fooled at the disarmament conference. The slickers from aboard took Preajdent Harding' and Secretary Hughes and the rest of our trusted leaders into a dark room and sold them a gold brick. They induced ua to sink some 800,000 tons of perfectly good war vessels, worth more than $300,000,000, in the name of peaee. And now, after we have thus disarmed ourselves, they are frantically and lavishly at work building smaller vessels, cruisers, to such a prodigious extent that both Great Britain and Japan now overshadow ns in naval strength and are likely to come Dver most any day and blow us out of the water. Representative Butler of Pennsylvania, chair man of the house naval affairs committee, has got the goods on the doable-crossing countries, and confided his discoveries to President Coolidge. The result is that the president has executed a very rapid and very complete right about face. So that while early in the month he-was sternly set against the naval ballyhoo for more cruisers, and told congress so, he has now consented to the building of three that he bad held up <*d ten mere new ones besides, to cost over $100,000,000. And this is only a beginning. It will require at least 50 ships, Chairman Butler proclaims, to bring us back to safety and our proper place in the race for armaments, and they are going to cost us more than $400,000,000. There, blooiel goes ¡your old surplna. But through the same door the surplus goes out national honor and safety will come back in. The dream of peace,'Mr. Butler concludes, was only a pipe dream, though it fooled even him. Disillusioned, he has “ come to realise that nations, like individuals, have always been governed by force and will continue to be so governed in'the future.” And so the bleeding old world is set right back where it was in the summer of 1914, and oh, gosh, how we wish we had back those big new battleships that wily Jap and astute Briton lured us into «eud- ing to the bottom of the ocean after the Washing ton conference! Anybody can see that our surplus worries are over. Now that we start to build an initial $100,- 000,000 worth of cruisers, Great Britain and Japan will look and sec us doing it and be scared plnmb to‘death. In the name of the national safety they will he obliged to redouble their building program, whereupon, as any sensible man can sec, we shall They’re investigating Speaker and Cobb for a game played in 1919.
