As a matter of fact, how- éver, the Navy is anxious to be- gin the construction of some of, the ships authorized and congress is expected fo make an appropria- tion before the session ends. What the Act Does There has been so much discus- sion about the Navy since the | House Naval Affairs Coommittee, early in March, voted to recom- mend the expansion bill. What did the bill mean? Simply that the United States, which had limited the size of its Navy in ac- cordance with naval treaties, was amending the law, passed in March, 1934, which’ set the limit on the size of the Navy, forbid- ding the construction of warships in excess of bare provisions. »pan notified the United tes and Great Britain that she vended to abrogate the treaty establishing the naval ratio, it apparent that a naval race about to begin. The Japanese dissatisfied with the treaty provisions which permitted Japan only sixty per cent of the Dattle- Inited pre- allowed the eat Britain. vious revision of the nava}limits had advanced the ratio allotted : whose OEE AITO EE jor smaller warships. Meets New Condition Great Britain, facing the threat of Italy in the Mediterranean and | the growing power of the Germap fleet, began some years ago to, construct additional warships. Acting under a clause of the treaty, the British notified the other powers of fleet increases. What was the position of the! United States? In the first place, | the American fleet was not up to; treaty strength. is country had not maintained its strength in ac- cordance with the naval ratios! established by the treaties limit ing the size of the fleets. In the last few years, however, a regular program of construction had been inaugurated which. in time, would have built up the American fleet ,to full treaty limits, With this program estab- lished, the nation faced a new tion when Great Britain and, pan began to construct: war- ships in excess of the Iffnits set by the naval treaties. ' Fleet's Size Limited The nation then faced the prob- m of deciding whether to re- its fleet to the limit of the reaties which had been abrogated, i r to build @ fleet to match those } er countries. However, the he American fleet was; by the Vinson-Trammel Act, passed in 1934, and until the Act be amended, it would be il- | ‘or the United States to con- | U. S., 3.2; Japan, 3.5. Congress, if it wished to build a fleet in proportion to construction by other powers, to change the existing law and to legally au- thorize the necessary expansion of the “Billion Dollar Navy Ex- pansion Bill”. By itself, the meas- ure does not add a single ship to the Navy. It merely authorizes a twenty percent increase in the limit set for the American Navy. Before a single ship can be con- structed, Congress will have to pass an appropriation bill, specif- ically providing the money for the ships to be constructed. 20 Percent Increase ! While the new law increases the! navy’s authorized tonnage by 20 “percent, experts estimate that the three battleships, two 20,000-ton aircraft carriers, nine cruisers, twenty-three destroyers, nine submarines, 950 planes and twen- ty-six auxiliary vessels will add from fifty to seventy-five percent to the fighting strength of the fleet. Last month, Admiral Wm. D. Leahy, Chief of Naval Operations, submitted figures to the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs, showing that Japan’s navy is stronger than that of the, United States in three major types of war craft and that only in battle- ships and in heavy cruisers do we hold superiority.

The White Crown is, of course, good for food, but that faet does not, necessari- ly, give us the right to continue practices which may, in time, de- stroy the species. There appeer- ed recently an account by a trav- eling journalist of his expe in dining with a native chief-in some far corner of the world. The meat dish served af this banquet was entirely unfamiliar to him, but was, so he said, of a most delectable flavor. After the meal he asked his host what it was, nad was told that he had_ been eating “roast young man.” He had found the dish to be excellent, but he did not, on that account, ad- vise a declaration of war 90 all young men. We should get out of the habit of thinking that we have the right to kill any wild thing which may be ood for food. Aside from this it is in- human to kill birds or animels which have young depe vient upon them.
