NEW YORK - BOSTON Up to Three Great Naval Powers ‘If the world’s second naval conference opened so aus- ‘with as potential sea powers, have a long way too to reach the tonnage of Great Britain and the United States. : — Only five nations are taking part in this conference, for they represent the great naval powers. Decision any two of the big three will be likely to whip others inte’ line.. The burden of taxes in Europé is heavy and direct relief will come from reduced military forces on land and at sea, bringing France nearer to discharging her financial obligations to the United States—an issue she has begged successfully for ten years. Secretary Stimson has a delicate task. He and his associates will need all the diplomacy and sagacity at their command. England has been singing Britannia rules the waves for many decades, and the popular mind there is that the very life of the British Empire. depends ss upon dominance of the sea. Anything that is decided upon at the conference is not final. Ratification must take its tedious course through parliaments and other bodies, ‘That nations are thinking in terms of peace is a great step forward, but the prejudices of race combined with the exigencies of diplomacy can cook up a great war ‘under the waving palms of peace. None of us is far enough away from.the world war to nurse any delu- sions that @ millenium is about to dawn; or that the lion and the lamb will gambol in blissful accord. No one entertains any such delusions fortunately. Every diplomat at London is on his guard although out- wardly he may seem in favor of substantial reductions in navies and armies. Fortunately this conference has but to do with sea power. Financial crisis in Europe make the public mind more open to disarmament. Replenished treasuries may mean ‘a return to the competitive naval system. Be that as it may, now is a most opportune time to talk thrift to the nations of Europe and it remains tobe seen whether Presi- dent Hoover through his envoys can supply what Ramsay ‘MacDonald termed “the impulse.” x May Hoover's Quaker luck attend him, It cost the American people—that is those in U. 8. A— more than twelve billions to be governed’ by federal, state and-city last year. This js exclusive of schools and many county expenditures. North Dakota to the Fore Federal figures released from Washington stated that North Dakota in 1930 would undertake some $7,000,600 ‘worth of public work. That is not large when compared numerically. with what New York, Illinois or Minnesota will expend but considering the development of the state and a population of hardly more than 600,000, the figure which North Dakota will spend on public work, is. more Telatively than that- of many states more than’ double her population. zs, After all, the figurees are more or less speculative and Probably new figures compiled as the months roll by, will exceed that figure. 7. ‘One has only to go to other states to realize the great ‘wealth actual“and potential of North Dakota. Its win- } ters may be tough, but no tougher than those of others. in the same zones and not as tough as many we could mame whose citizens are fleeing to the roofs of their houses’and the hills to escape floods. Nature has déalt well and bountifully with North Dakota. There is no such poverty as California has or the great centers of the east. Wages compare well with those in other stafes and living costs are lower than in many places that could be named. = ‘With certain economic adjustments that are bound-to ome soon, North Dakota will show greater commercial strides to the world than she has in the last decade. Her springs, summers and falls cannot be matched even by the sun-kissed mountains or plains of California. A generous Providence endowed this state with a supply of good water, the lack of which has slowed up progress im.many states. There is room for millions within her borders and the'day is not far distant when many of the natives will return to her fertile plains and glorious ‘And remember Bismarck is the hub of this empire!

Instruments to detect ground distances and other safety. devices in air navigation are far behind the progress and needs of aviation. Science is at work upon them and until they are perfected, those charged with carrying passengers through the air in high-powered planes must bow to the elements and turn back at the first evidence of threatening conditions, Morris Guest's play went broke in Texas, In this age Texan? Closing a Speakeasy Here's a sidelight on prohibition that probably doesn’t prove anything to speak of, either way, but that. is rather interesting nevertheless. Cleveland recently had a big garment-workers’ strike. Some 5,000 men and women were called out, and extra details of police were on duty patrolling the streets where the factories were located. It happened that there was a certain speakeasy near one of the big factories. And after two days of the strike the proprietor of this speakeasy closed up, There were too many. police around, But don’t rush to conclusions, He wasn't afraid of being pinched. You see, these extra details of police got to dropping in on him and drinking his liquor—the weather was very raw—and of course-he didn’t dare charge them anything for what they drank. So his ‘profits vanished and he closed, to reopen when the strike should be settled. As we say, that probably doesn’t mean a thing. But isn’t it interesting? Peace is that interlude when the new marine is in the service a week sometimes before he learns what a “travel ration” is. : * A Graceful Tribute Congressional action has made possible the visit of gold star mothers to the graves of their dear ones who le buried either on Flanders field or in the many cemeteries of northern France. What graceful tribute to those who gave their sons for the winning of the World war! It will take @ period of years before all gold ster war mothers can make a trip to the various graves of the war heroes, but it will satisfy in a measure at least the longings of a mother’s heart for the boy who fell inj: action and who now lies in alien ground. To drop a tear at. his grave and place a wreath. there will mean more thari words can tell to the gold star mothers who gave so much and suffered so much. Another figure that invariably arouses our curiosity: is the one who decides to look up his genealogy all the way back to William the Conqueror or someone, and, after wérking hard at it a month, suddenly stops. =: <... Not Such a Bad Idea A good.many rather strange marital compacts:/have ‘been ‘given publicity in recent years, ranging from the companionate business on up—or down; but the Phila- delphia couple who agreed to dissolve their marriage in two years if, by that time, they had not become parents, seem to have sprung & new one. At that, this particular compact isn’t so bad. After all, a marriage is not completé without children. And while haying children may not be’the sole reason for wedlock, ‘nature intended it to be the chief one. This young: couple are not so far wrong, after all. Now we know why so many Iowans settled in Long Beach—the oil royalties which are paid to the city treas- urer each year are more than a million. It helps Iowans to hang onto those last dollars, Perhaps the fast way to get the face lifted would be to peer intently into the gas tank wit a lighted match.
