Now that those international thieves— Hitler and Stalin—have fallen out, perhaps the honest nations will get their due. Pee pe German submarines, as survivors of the Robin Moor will testify, are no respec- tors of this nation’s rights on the high seas. Sea power may not be important but it is interesting to observe that Germany, Italy and Japan are rushing to completion some new and larger ships. Before.any Germans may leave the United States they must have fully complied with the execution order and regulations. In other words before they can go they must come—clean. ' The fellow in a second-hand automo- bile often is in the position to write a bigger cheek than the one in a brand new and ex- pensive car. Neither the clothes nor the car make the man. “Le style ec’est Vhomme’”, said a French poet That the style is the man is very evident among the columnists. Note the difference in the writings for instance of Pegler, Johnson, Winchell and others. Communism and Naziism are the foes of Democracy. Russia is the hotbed of the one and Germany of the other. They are now at each other's throats and a sane world is hoping they will annihilate them- selves, tejections of army draftees do not re- | veal an alarming condition of public health in the United States as has been reported. That 52 per cent of all army candidates were rejected as physically unfit is true only in part, although that donates a high degree of unfitness, but it applies to men from 31 to 35 years. Rejections for 21-25 year classes the rejections were only 24 per cent. In other words, under the age of 30 were less than half ; 000,000, will unquestionably THE SPONGE BLIGHT _ ‘Men in this area who make their living from sponges possibly will find a grain of Censervation Supervisor S. E. Rice has de- cided to make a personal investigation of the mysterious sponge blight here. é According to the story from the state capital, Rice said he has not been fuly in- formed about the extent of the blight, but intends to come here soon to get a_ first- hand report on the strange disease which these waters. 2 It may be that local sponge men are asking for information that does not exist causes and progress of the blight, but if | there is such information and science can find it, then the local fishermen and dealers should be informed. First, of course, they are vitally in- and how to control it, but if that informa- tion cannot be given them, they would ap- preciate some expert advice on what course to follow. Several months ago the spongers were divided on whether to get out the non-in-. : fected sponges at once, or to take a ehance | of losing everything by waiting to see if the blight would cure itself. 3 Rice, in the story from Tallahassee, said the disease did die out naturally in the | Florida and Caribbean sponge beds. two years ago, but its course in these waters was as mysterious as the disease itself. Experts shortly after the first of the year examined the beds here and prociaim- ed them free from the blight, but only a few weeks later fishermen found it worse than ever and spreading at an alarming rate. Did the disease die out, become dor- mant, or did it escape the notice of the scientists who made the examination this year? The sponge men would like a little detailed information. OLDEST SENATOR DEAD Andrew Jackson Houston, the oldest United States Senator in the nation’s _his- tory, died in Washington on June 26 at the age of 87, after serving only 24 days after taking his oath of office. He had been ap- pointed by Governor O‘Daniel of Texas to temporarily fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Morris Sheppard. The appointment of.Senator Houston at such an advanced age was purely a sen- timental gesture, he being the son of the great Sam Houston, whose career was not- able in American history. Sam Houston served in the Creek In- dian campaign with General Andrew Jack- son; was a member of Congress and gov- | ernor of Tennessee, resigning as governor after an unhappy marriage to live with the Indians with whom he had spent several of his early years as the adopted son of a cherokee chief. He later went to Texas, where he be- came commander-in-chief of the forces which won independence from Mexican rule, and became the first president of the new Republic of Texas. He was instrumen- tal in bringing about its annexation to the United States, and was afterwards senator and governor of the state. He was deposed as governor in 1861, because he did not favor secession, and died in 1863. The appointment of Senator Andrew Jackson Houston was therefore in the na- | ture of a tribute to his distinguished father, although he was an esteemed citizen in his own right. With President Roosevelt having the Senate eating out of his hands, this writer fails to visualize much of a fight in the up- per house on the St. Lawrence Waterways proposals, a pet project of the President, soon to come up for hearings. Although this vast undertaking, to cost about $300,- slow down | national defense, President Roosevelt is advocating its construction as a defense measure. It cannot possibly be finished the | the failures | those over the age of 80. It is known that | the Army prefers neeruits under 30, so the | test possibly is not one of ‘health but policy. of within four years, and is of dubious merit, oth commercially, and for the purpose of defense. Canada will not defray any part | of the expenditure although it will benefit from its cc ruction if any benefits derive. Congress has defeated the proposal before as a treaty, but during the present crisis it will probably go over in another form. While the strike phobia is on, the Dollar-a-year men, too, shoud strike for a higher wage. The National Defense Media- tion Board has so far yielded to every de- mand made by labor on National Defense projects, hope in word from Tallahassee that State — has wiped out most of the sponge erop in- when they seek more details about the: terested in learning what causes the disease | | ‘ To the West—and Back! cet nights in Pullman berths, | Fi 6,300 miles!
