To Americans it is a warning of what may be enacted on this side of the Atlantic unless steps are taken to strengthen our lines of defense. We can do it. On our heads—and on the heads of free spirits everywhere—will be visited the deadly penalty if we fail. the hegemony over Europe should pass to a dictator imbued with the frenzied dream of world dominion. So it is that there is talk of a new billion dollar defense appropriation and a new tax to finance it Possibly some large additional outlay for defense would be wise. If the prospects of the Allied de- mocracies do not improve in the next few weeks common sense will require that we either begin arm- ing in earnest or—if it is not too late—seek further means of helping the Allies to win the war.

In fact, I am-in- formed that this remedy has been used only occasionally in the past. The hearings clearly showed abuse on a number of occasions and, al- though comparatively few seizures have been made, the evil of the law is not so much in the number of seizures as in the compulsion upon those accused of offenses, whether innocent or guilty, to plead guilty to whatever charges were brought against them in order to avcid the seizure of their boats and gear and thus, in most cases, the loss of the entire fishing season.” D Stock QuoTaTIONS NEW YORK, June 3. — Closing quotation of Alaska Juneau mine ‘stock today is 4 3/4, American Can - - ~on 20 YEARS AGO /e THE EMPIRE JUNE 3, 1920 Lieut.-Commander John M.
