Secretary Swanson in his annual report puts the case for progressive building when he says that “our sporadic programs have not only proved very costly to the nation but they have left us far under our freaty, strength in up-to-date ships.” He commends the allocation of funds from the Nationa! Industrial Recovery Act for the construction of thirty-two naval vessels, which was directed by Presi- dent Roosevelt, as a policy that should lead to “a treaty navy second to none” Secretary Swanson |argues, just as the British Lords of the Admiralty do, that “balanced armament fortifies diplomacy and is an important element in preserving peace and justice.” Also he says, as they do, that “we can no longer afford to lead in disarmament by example.” But we can make all new construction subject to further limitation. This is a condition approved by President Roose- velt in making the allocation of Industrial Recov- ery moneys. It is possible to build up to parity with Great Britain under the treaties, with that limitation always in view. In the meantime, as Mr. Swanson points out, employment is found for thousands of workmen in a specialized industry. In the attainment of parity with Great Britain there would be no menace to peace, but rather a prospect of cooperation between two friendly nations to avert any large-scale war. In the air arm the United States makes up to some extent for weakness in surface auxiliaries since “the navy had 919 serviceable airplanes on hand at the end of the fiscal year.” 1In fleet manoeuvres the air squadrons have demonstrated their great tactical strength. The Secretary does not seem to share the pessimistic view that the service suffers in efficiency by reduced complement on combatant ships in commission. He does, however, think that the flat 15 per cent reduction in pay is a hardship and urges that full pay be restored. WORLD USE OF COTTON GAINS. The report on consumption of cotton for October should shake up those individuals who have been predicting the past year or more that the 1929 levels will never be seen again. World spinners used 2,:28000 bales of American and foreign cottons aganst 2088000 in October and 2,078,000 in October 1932, The consumption for the three months from August 1 to October 31, moreover, was also greater than any corresponding period since the 1629-30 season. The use of cotton gained in all of the principal tertile manufecturing countries. Mill activity in Great Britain was considerably higher than a year ago; mill operations in Japan attained the highest October levels on record, with mills using a larger proportion of American cotton than ever before; and United States mills consumed more cotton than in any October in the past three years. Mills in most countries on the Continént were more active this October than last; mills in China were more active in early November than for several months past; but mills in India and Russia consumed less cotton in September and October this year than last. The cotton consumption in Russia is expected to be boosted to new figures within a short time. One of the first concrete results of renewal of diplomatic relations between the United States and Russia probably will be the purchase by Russia of a large amount of American cotton Most of the renewed activity in cotton trade is traced to current policies of the Roosevelt Admin- istration—its NRA textile code that put the American industry on its feet, and its monetary policy that has made it possible for foreign buyers to purchase American-grown cotton.

It would not be con- even the President showed any symptoms of entrust ing his whole conscience to tn legenda: Tugwell or to the leg- endary Douglas.

When these conditions do not exist, you may get a change of government, in moments of excitement even a vio- lent change, you may get an Eighteenth Amendment or a grand- iose law, but when the smoke clears away you are pr sure to find the essential institutions and hab- its of the nation the same. . That, for example, is why Marx- sm has worked out exactly con- trary to the Marxist theory. Ac- cording to that theory the first communist state should have been the most advanced capitalist state. Instead, communism is triumphan in the least capitalistic nation among all the great powers. Wi Because in Russia, and nowhere; else, there was, as a result of the war, a complete breakdown of th= social mechanism and a collapse ¢ all authority and enterprise. Had | there been an communist dictator- ship, there would inevitably have; had to have been a military dic- tatorship, and that dictatorship would have had the task of cre- ating an economic system on the ruins of the old system. Tha: the dictators happened to be com- munists rather than Czarist gen- erals and Grand Dukes was, i seems to me, due to the fact that the generals and dukes were de- feated and demoralized and dis- credited men, whereas the com- munists were fresh and were or- ganized and ready to take power. T believe this because the com- munists got nowhere at all in any country where the old order had any life left in it or any leaders capable of defending and operat- ing it. . The moral, it seems to me, is that a social system is not over- thrown by conspiracies, nor by propaganda, but only by its own weakness. The only way to defend a social system is to make it work. The only time to have fears for it is when it does not work. As lonz as it works, providing the bulk of the people with the satisfactions they normally expect from it, it is not susceptible to revolufion. The body politie, if it is reasonably healthy, throws off infection; it is only when it is sick that it los- es its immunity. A social order which is a going coneern can be reformed at this point or that, but ..
