The Navy Department has recommended a three-year program of Increased naval development, which shows that the administration has no intention of relying solely upon the moral suasion of a league of Nations. Sec retary Daniels explained that it is a natural development of tlie present war and the naval needs resulting therefrom. When a League of Nations is for med it will be necessary also to create a naval and military international pulice to enforce the decrees« of the international court. The nations In the League will furnish such police. Its numbers will be apportioned with reference to the wealtii of the nations and the coast lines to be guarded. This will make it necessary for tlie United States und Great Britain to furnish most of the warships. Sec retary Daniels says, consequently all warships built under the new pro- gram will be used. The limitation of armaments will present one of the most difficult questions before the peace conference. Judging from the new naval pro gram, Washington believes that some time will elapse before any plan «if -limitation can be put into effect. For the present, at least, it would not be fair to forecast the attitude of the members of our national legisla ture concerning the League of Nations or any partisan basis. To say that Die Republican party oppos d the League movement or that the Democratic Party opposed It would be its misleading ns to say that either one of these parties opposed the war. Attempts to make the I. ague of Nations a partisan issue should fall Just as efforts to make the war m issue or patriotism an issue came to naught. "OREGON FIRST" (Oregon Voter I Next to having furnished more volunteer soldiers to the war than did any other state (in proportion to population), Oregon can be most proud of tlie “First" awarded to It by Surgeon-General Rupert Blue In tho following telegr; | i to the Oregon Social Hygiene Society “A tabulation of on« million re- ports first received from camp mir* geons throughout th« country shows that Oregon leads tlie country with a rate of 59-100ths of one per cent found to have venereal diseases on arriving in camp It Is hoped that Oregon can continue vigorous measures in combating venereal diseases dining the period of de mobilisation und thereafter "Rupert Blue'' At the other extreme of Oregon's matchless record is that of another state, with a percentage of K D ■; found to have venereal diseases on arriving in camp Fifteen times as many cases in proportion as af fileted tlie boys frojn Oregon' What a source of pride to the clean-minded people of Oregon' What a relief to the anxiety of de voted parents' What an earnest for the future welfare of the young women of the state, and of their unborn children! I» It not wonder ful! To the work of the Oregon Social Hygiene Society this remarkable showing may be attributed In very large measure. This society has worked, Intelligently, dlscrlinlnat- Ingly, along practical lines It has been directed by a coterie of un- •elfish business and professional men. wtio have given of their time without stint and have dug deep into their pockets to meet bills that HE following message has been telegraphed by the War Council of the American Red Cross to each one of the 8,857 chapters: "On February 10th, last year, nearly six weeks be fore the United States declared war, National Red Cross Headquarters advised its chapters to prepare for war. That which has followed in the record of the Red Cross in helping to win this war and to relieve the suffering growing out of it, constitutes something of which every American citizen has a right to be proud. Every Ameri can Red Cross worker must feel a sense of gratitude in having had a share in it all. “The moment is now come to prepare for peace. Until peace is really here and our soldiers home there can be no relaxation in any Red Cross effort incident to active hostilities. "But even with peace, let no one suppose that the work of the Red Cross is finished. Millions of American boys are still under arms. Thousands of them are sick and wounded. Owing to the shortage in shipping, it may take a year or more to bring our boys home from France. But whatever the time, our protecting arms must be about them and their families over the whole period which must elapse before the normal life of peace can be re sumed. “Our soldiers and sailors are enlisted until the Com mander inChief tells them there is no more work for them to do in the war. Let every Red Cross member and worker—and this means both men and women—show our returning soldiers and sailors that to care for their health, welfare and happiness we are enlisted for no less period than they are. “The cessation of war will reveal a picture of misery such as the world has never seen before, especially in the many countries which cannot help themselves. The American people will expect the Red Cross to continue to act as their agent in repairing broken spirits and broken bodies. Peace terms and peace conditions will determine how we may best minister to the vast stricken areas which have been harrowed by war, and for this great act of mercy the heart and spirit of the American people must continue to be mobilized through the Amer ican Red Cross. “On behalf of the War Council, we accordingly ask each member of our splendid body of workers through out the land to bear in mind the solemn obligation which rests upon each one to ‘carry on.’ We cannot abate one instant in our efforts or in our spirits. There will be abundance of work to do, and specific advices will be given, but even at the moment of peace let no Red Cross worker falter. "Our spirits must now call us to show that not the roar of cannon or the blood of our own alone directs our activities, but that a great people will continue to respond greatly and freely to its obligations and opportunity to serve.” 0 0 •> 5 0 0 > There is no better place on earth for Kodaking than right here.
