Navy Chief Emphasizes Need
Of Full Fleet for United States
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. (P) Em
phasizing the uncertainty of the out
come of the London naval conference,
Secretary Swansea In his annual re
port reiterated a strong recommen
dation that the American navy be
built up to the full strength author
ized In the Washington end London
pacts.
"The situation In regard to treaties
Jor limitation of naval armaments
still remains uncertain and It is im
possible to predict the nature ot fu
ture treaties, If any, he said In his
annual report.
'"For the present," he said American
naval policy was unchanged and he
recommended that plans for building
new warships to the total 1,133.600
tonnage permitted under the treat
ies "be continued without change."
President Roosevelt naa already en
dorsed that viewpoint by reaffirming
the attention of the United States
to oppose any bigger navies at the
London parley, and to continue this
nation's naval construct ton program.
Swanson reported "substantial
progress" was beln$ made In Increas

383.150 tons, now building end ap

He added that the British empire
had 68 vessels of 183,305 tons under
construction and Japan was building

with the greatest degree of efficiency
and economy."
President Roosevelt has under con
sideration the possibility of building
a new battleship to replace the old
Arkansas. Swanson revealed that oth

ecrapped and replaced by new fight
ing craft.
"Upon the expiration of the pres
ent treaties certain battleships will

agreements, the matter of replace

"A further great need, not yet pro

operating maintenance of the com

"The present fleet auxiliaries are
generally old vessels and all have In

dustry', problems December 0 was ad
vanced by Oeorge L. Berry. Industrial
recovery co-ordlnator.
Under the plan, representatives of
Industry would be divided Into 44
groups, and labor into 13 for discus
sions before spokesmen are sent to a
main conference to talk over propos
als for promoting recovery.
Berry emphasled that the rlvlslons
h. suggested be changed If desired
by either Industry or labor, saying:
ine groupings we have suggested
are In no sense arbitrary. Industry
and labor representatives are per
fectly free to appeal from our pro
posed organization of the confer

concerned with their particular In

Colncldentally, It we said at
Berry's headquartera that American
Federation of Labor unions would
be represented "100 per cent." This
followed reports In labor circles here
that the carpenters' union, second
largest In the federation, had de

Most good phy

still harbor con
victions about
this. Many chem
ists, pharmacists,
research workers and others of scien
tific bent are quite positive that one
thing or another Is absorbed through
the unbroken skin.
Of course, I don't know any more
than the next doctor does whether
anything Is or can be so sbsorbed.
But I don't believe the Intact skin
can absorb anything, and I am will
ing to have the question tested on
my skin, provided the tests be prop
erly controlled to protect against
Inhalation of any of the poison
which Is applied to my skin, and
provided the results of the test be
reported to the public or to the
coroner, as the case may be and
both sides agree In advance to abide
by the results and to cut out the
controversy upon the aubject.
Alice Hamilton says tetraethyl lead

right. Apply It to my skin.
A lot of medical men, pharma

applied to my skin will soon change

a supply of the stuff, I'll come on
for the experiment. But you've got
to do It In the open. No skulldug

The lntest devastating "scientific"
evidence against me Is the dogmatic
assertion by research Investigators
that they have proved that vita

you could not sc'entlficslly deduce
absorption through the skin from
such an experiment. The compara
tively minute quantity a rat would
have to ingest to prevent or cure
rickets might easily be Ingested in
the ordinary way, by the rat lick
ing Itself or scratching Itself or
rubbing against a surface and then
licking the feet or the surfaces on
which the skin has been rubbed.
Such an experiment is no more
significant than the common one of
painting lodln on the skin and
shortly afterward finding lodln in
the urine. lodln is volatile enough,
and unless the experiment Is con
trolled so as to prevent Inhalation
of the volatilised lodln, it proves
nothing.
The same criticism applies to the
old fancy that mercury ointment la
absorbed through the skin. Most
physicians today know better, and
mercury ointment 1. now rarely ap
plied where systemic action of mer
cury Is required, because no one
can Judge how much or how little
mercury will be Inhaled when the
medicine Is so administered.
I Insist all these misguided doc
tors and others who believe the skin
absorbs things are crazy, and I'll
back this with my own precious hide
any time.

Sugar.
M. Told raw sugar contains 301)
times as much calcium a. refined
white sugar. Should we substitute
raw for refined sugar? R. O.
Answer Perhaps It does, but even
so, raw sugav Is Insignificant so
far as providing calcium is con
cerned. Milk, eggs, cheese, fresh vigs
tables, peas, beans, entire wheat are
adequate sources of calcium. Use
whatever form of sugar you prefer.

Captured."
The killer-kidnaper Is Douglas Van
Vlack. who abducted bis former wile
and when stopped by officers shot
two of them one dead on the spot
and the other so badly that he has
only a fighting chance of recovery.
Now that he 1. captured, here's
hoping he la convicted and hanged.
Convicting and banging them u
about the only way to get rid ot
criminal beasts like that.

THIS paragraph in the story Is in
teresting :
"Overcome by the cold, disheveled
and FRIGHTENED, Van Vlack -was
found, lying In a roadside ditch two
mile, north of Holllster. (Near Twin
Falls, Idaho.)
These killer, are bold and brasn
when things are going their way, but
not o bold when the tide turns
against them.
PROBABLY yoiTre getting tired of
war talk, but that's about all
there Is In the news. Here Is some
typical war talk:
This dispatch comes from Addis
Ababa:
The Ethiopian government s&iq
its forces under Ras Desta had
forced the Italians out of Corahei
and Gorlagubl by an encircling move
ment originating at Dolo."
And this dispatch comes from
Rome:
One hundred Ethiopians, Includ
ing two provincial governors, were
reported killed In an official com
munique Issued here, describing a
battle north of Dolo. Italian losses
were announced as four native sol
diers killed, five wounded and two
missing." f
WHEN this warnews is OFFICIAL
news, you see, you can't believe
a word of It. Each side claims the
victory.
WHY do honest correspondents of
American newspapers send out
such stuff. The answer Is that that's
all they're PERMITTED to send out,
Government censors see to that.
Remember, please, that If the
government ever gets Its fingers on
the press In this country, which is
one of the few countries In the
world having a free press, you won't
be able to believe the news you read
in peace time.
Honest news and censorship don't
go together.
THIS war news paragraph is at
least worth reading:
"Rain over all fronts Impeded
somewhat the preparations for new
Italian advances, Italian patrols
sloshing through persistent down
pours In pursuing enemy bands
from the Temblen and Gheracla dis
tricts."
Fighting ALONE. It will be im
possible for the primitive Ethiopians
to do much against modernly armed
Italian forces. But If the weather
FIGHTS WITH THEM, they might
accomplish something.
