THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1934 cU.Haskin MA Condensed Chapter from the Authors New Book keke eee THE UNITED STATES COAST GUARD ‘Washington, D. 8 soon as a body of law had been Provided for the United States, a new service was called into being to en- force it. In the year after the Con- stitution went into operation, Presi- dent Washington signed an Act of Congress creating the Revenue Ma- rine. The young republic was de- pendent on customs for a large por- tion of its revenue and it was the job of this sea-going police force to sup- Press smuggling and thereby prevent the loss of much needed income. Today im peace times, the United ‘States Coast Guard, the twentieth century development of the gallant Revenue Marine, acts as the arm of the law which reaches out over the waterways, promotes safety at sea, and, serves as a life-saving agency. war times, it becomes a unit of the Navy. In spite of its colorful military record, the Coast Guard is probably best known for its human- itarian activities. ‘There were ten vessels in the little fleet which was the sole protection of the maritime interests of the young nat until the Continental Navy, which was disbanded at the close of the Revolution, was re-established as the United States Navy half a dozen years later. It soon became the Unit- ed States Revenue Cutter Service un- der the Treasury Department, with augmented duties which have grown with the years. In 1915 the Revenue Cutter Service joined forces with the Life-Baving Service- which operated stations on both coasts and the Grea: Lakes, dedicated since 1848 to saving life and property, to become the Unit- ed States Coast Guard. Not only does the Coast Guard en- » Oct, 11.—Almost force all laws of the United States on the navigable waters thereof, and make every effort to prevent disasters at sea, but it is “Always Ready” to rush at @ moment's notice to assist those in distress whether on the ocean or near the great inland waterways. The Teacue work done in 1927 when the Mississippi was on the rampage added another glorious achievement to the records of the service. Nearly 45,000 Persons were saved or taken from per- lous positions, and a fourth as many head of live stock were recovered. Since the amalgamation of the Lif Saving and Revenue Cutter Services,! Property valued at $70,000,000 has been saved and approximately 65,000 Persons have been rescued from peril. Paratus—Always Ready—is Boats, although they be of many sizes and types, constitute only one of the methods of operation of this combination maritime police and re- lorce. There are 37 cruising cut- harbor craft, and 120 patrol ranging from 75 feet in length feet.

The wrecked train, a local from Sa- vanna, Il., to LaCrosse, Wis., included ng wkeerkaekenkn extend to Alaska, Hawali, and Puerto Rico. One of the most tragic disasters the world has known was responsible for increasing the duties of the Coast Guard. After the Titanic was sunk in 1914 in a. matter of minutes after collision with an iceberg, there was @ world-wide demand that steps be taken to prevent a repetition of the terrific loss by safeguarding ships that travel in lanes near the ice fields. At the request of a conference of na- tions the Coast Guard assumed res- Ponsibility for the ptarol of the North Atlantic Ocean. As a result of the alertness of the International Ice Patrol, not a life has since been lost because of collisions with icebergs. The deep sea fisher- men off the Grand Banks as well as the transatlantic vessels benefit by the service. The records show that as many as 38 vessels have been guided clear of icebergs in a single day. In one month nearly 400 of these men- faces have been sighted in the path of navigation. The expense of this serv- ice is shared proportionately by the nations using the traffic lanes affect- ed. Not only has a perfect record in accident prevention been established, but much information on tides and cyrrents and sources and movements of ice fields has been added to scien- tific knowledge. Ready for Many Tasks The Coast Guard had a strenuous time in its bout with smuggling dur- ing the prohibition interlude, but that was only one of its law enforce- ment duties. It enforces the laws re- lating to immigration, quarantine, and neutrality, and the international conventions relative to fisheries on the high seas. It is charged with the en- forcement of law generally in Alaska, transporting a floating court when necessary, and protecting the fisher- ies, bird reservations, game, and seals. More than 100,000 vessels are boarded and examined in a year to ascertain whether they are complying with Tegulations as to seaworthiness, com- petency of officers and crews, fire Protection, life boat anc radio equip- ment, and other safety measures. Dur- ing the same period of time more than 150 regattas and marine parades are policed in order to safeguard lives and Prevent accidents, and some 2000 ves- violations entailing penalties totaling $300,000. The Coast Guard enforces miscellaneous laws for other Govera- ment departments and acts to sup- press that high crime of the sea, mu- tiny. Summing up the activities of the 9000 men and officers who form this Police’ and relief service in terms 0: people and property, it is impressive to record that 6,492 persons in danger of drowning were saved in a single year and that vessels valued at more than $40,000,000, which were in dire distress, were assisted to safety. The Army has its West Point and the Navy its Annapolis. The Coast juard maintains an academy at New London, Connecticut, where officers are trained to carry on in its finest tradition. Young men from eighteen to twenty-two take competitive edu- cational examinations to open the the| doors where they may be fitted to per- the sea, and the contribution to the national defense.” Officers are given rank similar to that of the Navy. En- listed ratings are the same, with the addition of a specially trained class called surfmen. It is possible to offer an imposing array of statistics to show the aollars and cents value of the Coast Guard to the Nation. The number of lives Isnatched from the jaws of disaster presents an important-aggregate.

Johnson of Minot, an unsuc- cessful candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination at the June Primaries, Thursday announced in Bismarck that he is supporting the Republicans in the fall campaign. Johnson, who was the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor in 1932, emphasized, however, that he still is an enthusiastic supporter of President Roosevelt but took the stand that the Republican candidates are “far more worthy of honor and recognition than. those nominated by the boss-ridden Minot convention.” Democrats named as the bosses to whom he referred were Fred McLean, Joe Doyle and H. H. Perry. Johnson's announcement that he would support the Republicans came after he already had taken the stump for the Republicans. On Oct. 5 he spoke at Manning, in company with a Republican candidate for state of- fice, bitterly assailing the Democratic party in North Dakota. A small group heard this address. ‘i Columbus Day Fete Planned by Knights ‘The four hundred forty-second an- niversary of the date on which Colum- bus discovered America, will be ob- served Friday at special gatherings of Knights of Columbus councils throughout the state, C.
