Unfortunately, the people of the na- tions have not declared themselves in re- gards to our foreign policy, which must govern the size of our navy. Consequently, the history of the United States, in naval matters, over a period of twenty years fails to make sense, Here is.the proof: In 1916 President Wilson insisted upon préparédtiess, including a yery powerful fleet. The ship-building was authorized and elerated during the war. Under» that + program the United States was assured of | ‘thé most powerful navy in the world, great- er by forty per cent than that of any other ation. © So what? In 1921 the Washington con- ference was called and Mr. Charles Evans Hughes, Secretary of State, in a dramatic gesture, announced that the United States was willing to scrap ten first-line battle- ships, eighteen second-line battleships and four battle-cruisers. This was $330,000,000 worth of capital ships. The other nations of the world gobbled up Mr. Hughes’ limi- tation program, tore up a few blueprints and there era of saving money on war- ship construction began. Great Britain and Japan immediately began progr#Msteening to the ¢ and maintenayee of full-treaty navies. Les- ser powers, ke aly and Prancoligat heft the battleship competition, concentrated; on maller v Phe United States 4ll ‘bat sat down and waited on the dawn @f thes} era of eternal peace on thé basis that every- body loved us, { Some years later, another limitation conference was called. Again limits were set o.. the size of navies. Once more, the other nations laid their programs toward | the possession of all the nayy that the treaties allowed. This powerful nation con- tinued to lag behind, saving its money by not-building a modern navy and complete- ly abandoning the much-sought-after “pari- | ty” with Great Britain. With the inauguration of President | Roosevelt, however, there was passed by Congtess an act to-fix the limit of the Unit- ed States Navy at the level set by the treat- | ies and a program of construction, was be- | gun that weuld give us a balanted!-thodetn | navy of that size-"Phew, 4bude SSeu? ag8" the JapaneSe gave notice they wogld | not agrée to renew * tion et | which thus expired and, the nasions, be n | the present armament face.“ F j Thus, in 1938, sixteen years affer | junking its naval supériority, the peoplefof | the United States aré faving the necessity | of rebuilding ships to make-up for so scrapped battleships. The pressure for this | construction comes from other nations, not | from any desire on our own part. It may | be that history will repeat itself. The new naval program may give us the most pow- erful navy in the world in the next ten years. We can out-build other nations if | we want to. However, the strategists in Japan, Germany and Italy read history; they can take it easy and wait for another Hughes tb come along ang scrap another | $300,000,000 worth of fighting ships!

By way of a hint, though—we'll advance this much information: The displaying of the hundreds of noyelty articles in this favorite establishment has been changed around completely: It's too much for the average layman to describe competently the displays as seen—however, here are just a few impressions gathered on a quick jaunt around the shop: The Linen Shelf, with nap- kins, table cloths, towels, spreads, ete., a revelation. Then there is the Lamp Corner, with a beau- tiful array. Woven baskets of all kinds and all kinds of knick- nacks on various shelves. The stock of leather goods, purses, billfelds and such, is attractive, and there is a special collection of toys. In the far corner is a good selection of books—all the latest.
