GARNER, THE FISHERMAN Vice-President Garner, as well as being a color- ful political figure, is a fisherman. Returning from recent trip to the Philippines, Garner passed through Spokane on the train at an early morning hour and when photographers and newsmen hovered around the train, the Vice-President dug in the) pillows a little deeper. Finally, a fishing photographer who knows fishermen, stopped outside Garner's car window with camera aimed. “I still maintain a fly is the only way to catch black bass,” he shouted. The window flew open. “So do 1,” replied the Vice-President with his usual big smile. “Go ahead and shoot.” Even a Vice-President will rise to the bait.

The main tank was nearly dry following filling of the swimming tank at the new Arctic Brotherhood Hall. Owiang to the low pressure, many connections between the mains and private houses and places of business were frozen. Miss H. E. Bates, of Seattle, ar- rived in the morning on the Ala- meda and in the afternoon was wedded to Charles Hadd, manager of the local branch of J. H. Irving Company. Mrs. William Maloney, with baby, arrived on the Alameda. Mine .nspector Maloney was at the dock to meet the pair. Charles G.

ZYNDA, Prop. 1s Pincers. “THE REXALL SIOR:x” the President has declared in effect in connection with the present Italo-Ethiopia trouble .° These are only a few of the matters to come before the present session, and, while they are watched closely, it can only be hoped that the Congress will see the wisdom of dispatching all legislation with a modest degree of speed, so that business, now zooming along in high gear, will have no cause, due to a prolonged session, to acquire another case of the jitters. THE REPUBLICAN PROTEST Judging from the noise heard from Republican sources against the New Deal, it was to be assumed that the G. O. P. campaign war- chest would be filled to overflowing. But although Chairman Fletch- er recently named a group with adequate Bradstreet rating to fill the coffers, it begins to appear that the boys have not begun to function yet, or else those expected to donate are so well satisfied with the Roosevelt Administration they have decided to hang on to their money. That is the inference one draws from the latest boomerang gesture of Chairman Fletcher in demand- ing equal time with President Roosevelt on the radio. The President is delivering his annual mes- sage to Congress tonight. It is a long established custom. Presidents like every one else gives an account of jobs, and executives offer recommenda-| (to have got rid of our somewhat fanatical devotion ligerent nations “at their own risk,” President Roosevelt abandoned the “freedom of the seas” doctrine. It is often said also that it was this doctrine for which we fought in the World War. Both statements have an element of truth. But either is somewhat deceptive. “Freedom of the seas” is a little too grandiloquent to have an accurate meaning. Officially the freedom of the seas has meant that we claimed the immunity of all private property |at sea from capture or confiscation by belligerent Powers—excepting contrabrand of war. The excep- tion is most significant. Our Government never in history sought to defend the right to ship con- traband of war, immune from capture. And since the term “contraband” has come to include everything of even the slightest value in the prosecution of war, the exception has come to !be the rule. We have claimed in reality merely the right to ship certain innocuous merchandise to bel- ligerents or neutrals without its being subject to {capture. “Freedom of the seas,” in other words, has been whittled away through the decades as belligerents have extended their lists of contraband goods. President Roosevelt did indeed abandon the American claim to “freedom of the seas.” . And that was a momentous step—one calculated to re- duce considerably the danger of our being drawn into war. But we did not yield so very much, for the freedom of the seas had become a phrase to cover the trade in non-essentials, a trade that does not bulk very large in war time. We are fortunate tions and suggestions. That is what the President| is doing as usual. Newspapers, news associations| and the radio realize it is news and the people want | to hear and read what the Chief Executive has to| say. The radio, through its media of broadcasting, arranged to have the President speak on the net- to the “freedom of the seas,” for it drove us into more wars than one. But the sacrifice reQuired of our foreign traders by the abandonment of that doctrine should not be over estimated. What we gave up was a doctrine that had lost nearly all its meaning. ‘works. Up pops Chairman Fletcher with the assertion| that it is just a “campaign speech” The Republicans demand equal amount of time to answer immediately, | he pipes in a loud voice. One of the big radio| networks has already properly replied that the 'G.| O. P. can have as much time as the President, or; more if it chooses, simply by paying for it. The other national hookup has ignored the ravings of Mr. Fletcher, which is another nice way of saying the same thing. Mr. Fletcher and the rest of the Republican high command know full well that the President of the United States is news no matter whether he ad- dresses Congress or goes fishing. He is news bécause the voters of this country, his employers, are inter- OBi0. Journal) . ested in knowing what he is doing and proposes{ to do. They have the right to know, and Mr. Fletcher, if Mr. Hoover was in the White House, would be the first to acclaim it. The conclusion then is ‘obvious.
