ALASKA CIRCULATION THAN THAT CF Al NAVY LEAGUE CHARGES. No unofficia’ -tatemest about the Navy and Naval affairs nas ever received such serious con- sideration as th:. issued by the Navy League late last month by its President, Willlam Howard Gardi- ner. President Hoover attached ‘o much weight to| it that he challeneged its accuracy and appointed a “jury” of expert: to :iii the ev.dence, announcing he would expect from Mr. CGardiner an apology for certain accusations against himself. The League's s atement, one of a series issued in the past six weeks, attacked severely the Admin-| istration's cut in naval estimates for appropria- | tions. It declared among other things that Presi-| dent Hoover and Piemier Ramsay MacDonald of England, in their Rapidan conferences “reached‘ agreements that ha®~ never officially heen divulged | in their entirety;—w..icli suggests why the Admin- istration refused to allow even an executive session of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to see the full record of its negotiations and possible commitments preparatory to the London Naval Con- ference of 1930.” The statement reviewed the Republican platform pledge of support to the Navy and its declarations for a Navy up to treaty strength, and asserted Mr. Hoover had neglected to fulfill those promises. In| conclusion, it asserted: It would be difficult to express too much regret that the most humanitarian of pa- cific intentions had led President Hoover into exhibiting the abysmal ignorance of why navies are maintained and of how they are used to accomplish their major mission that his proposal to immunize seaborne food supplies displayed to those, here and abroad, who are intimately con- versant with maritime matters. For accept- ance of his suggestion would have worked not only diametrically counter to the inter- ests and weight of the United States in world affairs, but, in effect, would have made for bigger and bloodier wars. And yet such is the psychology that is not only controlling our internal naval policy but dictating its external subordination to those foreign naval powers. It has been necessary, however, to say what has been said above if we are to have a real appreciation of the impelling motives back of President Hoover's efforts, at every turn, to restrict, to reduce and to starve the United States Navy—under the present plea of budget limitation on which we may have further cause to comment. This is the section of the League's statement which aroused the irc of the President. The jury picked by him acquit''d him of “abysmal ignorance of why navies are maintained,” and of “efforts, at every turn, (o restrict, 1o reduce and to starve,” the United States Navy. S The President’s demar! Gardiner has so far beern unsaticfied. Possibly the latter intends to ignore ihe “jury's” verdict since the man he accused had the sole say in picking it while, as accuser, he had no part in {ts selection. It is not inconceivable he may want to place the entire subject before Congress when it meets next month for a compi=te ¢ lring, not unly of his charges against the President, hut also of the Adwministation’s Naval policy. v an apologv from Mr. MISS BRITTON'S SUIT. Miss Nan B: on, aucior of the muchly dis- cussed book, “Tlic Proudent's Daughter,” published after the death of President Hrrding, in which she claimed that he was the father of her illigitimate child, lost a libel suit receutly againsa a Marion, Ohio, hotel operc.or The lo*.er circ lated a book answering Miss Brit. a's. libel had been committed In a recent issue of Liberly, Mrs. May Dixon Thacker, author of the “S'range Death of Presi- dent Harding,” which appeared about a year ago, absolutely repudiaied 000k, Mrs. Thacker de- clares at the time it was wri'ien she believed every word of Gaston B. Means, w.dercover agent, who furnished her with ail of the informaticn. She is now convinced that e whole tale i !false, entirely without foundation. She declares she has been informed that Mrs. Harding knew nothing about Nan Britton and her child. Miss Britton’s book, possib.y because it follow- ed so closely the death of President Harding, at- tained much wider circulation than that written by Means, or by Mrs. Thacker for him. The latter volume gained little credence and Mrs. Thacker's repudiation was interesting but hardly necessary. An Dhio court ruled no e BUILDING ANOTHER AIR GIANT. Satisfied with the performance of the Akron, the world’s largest dirigible which is owned by the Navy, the Navy Department has authorized the Goodyear-Zeppelin people, builders of the Akron, to proceed without delay with the construction of a second and sister-ship. The Akron cost approxi- mately $5,000,000 to build. The second ship prob- ably will cost about $2,450,000, or less than half | type of aircraft. of the first. The reduction is made possible by several savings to the builders, such as construc- tion facilities which had to be furnished for the Akron and will be available without additional cost for the new air liner, methods of building and design have been more fully developed and the per- sonnel of construction crews is more efficient through experience attained in turning out the Akron. If commercial aviation in this conutry should turn toward dirigibles for transoceanic flying, it will benefit materially by the Navy's pioneering in this If such a reduction in cost as that indicated between the Akron and its sister ship can be made on the first two jobs, when craft in larger numbers are turned out, further cost cuis can be made. Then, too, th2 Navy's operations with its giant lighter than air ships undoubtedly will lead to many improvements in construction which will be of direct advantage to the commercial in- terests. Having made such a success with French fried, the White House chef will ncxt have a chance to show his skill with spaghetti. Japan's cockiness indicates that she may believe the nations of the League and the United States do not mean what they say. An Empty Seat at Geneva. (New York Herald Tribune.) ! The news that the President had chosen Dwight | Morrow, only four days before his death, to head | the American delegation at the Geneva arms limi- tation conference is merely one more poignant re- minder of how great a loss the nation suffered in losing that one small figure. Varying accounts have been given of the inner history of the London naval conference; all of them, however, agres in assign- ing to Mr. Morrow’s tact, clear-headedness and cenciliatory powers a great part of such success as was attained there. It is no reflection upon our State Departmant, or upon our other negotiators in international affairs to say that the absence of Dwight Morrow will be felt next February at Geneva. In Mexico, as well as in London, he revealed a kind of genius for in- ternational negotiation that was less, perhaps, the indication of any extraordonary mental power than the result of bringing a new type of mind to prob- lems that have too often been left to the old routines. Mr. Morrow approached his public duties with a breadth of imagination, a freedom from pre- established concepts, seldom developed in the ordi- nary workings of bureaucracy—or, it might be added, by the ordinary training of the leader in the non-political walks of life. We have heard a great deal about the desirability of placing business executives in the public service. Too often, when such experiments are tried, the results show that the business man not only lacks political experience and adeptness but has nothing with which to replace them and is simply a fish out of water. Mr. Morrow, however, possessed a rich- ness of character, of thought and experience that transcended the narrow limits of either business or politics. The future would be clearer if there were more Morrows in this world. We shall get along— but originality of thought and breadth of vision are qualities at once very rare and not easily re- placeable. PRSI TR TSR |2 | The Deficit Mounts. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) In a little more than three months of the cur- rent fiscal year the Federal deficit has mounted to a half billlon dollars, or more than half the total deficit for last year. Despite the efforts of the Administration to effect substantial economies, expenditures are rising and receipts declining, with the prospect of a deficit next June 30 of well over a billion dollars. This is not a cause for alarm, for the resources of the United States are great enough to overcome such a shortage of public funds, when it becomes imperative to strike a balance. But it is a warning that the Congress this winter must be held to a stricter accounting than it was in the last session.

Just as individuals and corporations have no alternative but to reduce their expenditures in times of stress, so the Federal Government must accept the unwelcome challenge to prune its spend- ings to a point within its income. There is no sound reason why the costs of government should always increase and never decline. Preliminary to any lasting improvement of busi- ness conditions in the orderly financing of govern- ment, with a certainty in meeting obligations which is the foundation of the stable values of govern- ment bonds and other public credit instruments. Little can be done this year ‘to reduce expenditures drastically, although important economies are pos- sible. But if the Congress possesses any courage, any statesmanship, it will insure the lowering of Federal costs for the ensuing year when it meets in December. Nome Gold Yield Increases. (Nome Nugget.) It will be good news to everyone to know that this year’s gold output will be much greater than the last few years and will probably go well over the million dollar mark. To begin with the season was late, and owing to a very little snow last winter the ground froze to a considerable depth, the sum- mer was more unusual with cold, stormy, and dis- agreeable weather, the frost hit us early in the fall and closed down numerous small operators, the lack of water was the biggest draw-back during the numerous times during the draught. ing sections have done better than was expected with climatic conditions against them.
