Whether wi happened meant anything or not to congress or to the public, it sent a shiver thru the navy and opened the eyes of the war department, charged with the protection of the Canal. Had that black fleet really meant business, our navy, cut in two, would al- most certainly have been sent te the bottom, our bases in the West Indies taken, other coast cities menaced and our country put in peril of invasion. That's how important the Canal is to us. It is the key to our national defense. Destroyed, or captured, all our war plans would have to be made over Here is how it happened: In the joint army and navy maneuvers, it was as- sumed that the United States and another power of equal strength were on bad terms, Officials in Wash- ington regarded war as imminent and were anxious to bring the Pacific squadron thru the Canal to join the rest of the fleet in the Atlantic. But they did not wish to do anything which could be interpreted as a hostile move. So we waited. Which, of course, is very true to life, Suddenly the enemy struck. Her “black” fleet ap- peared in mid-Atlantic, making for us. Washington flashed the Pacific fleet to make a dash thru the Canal and join our ships on the Atlantic side. The Canal Zone garrison of 9,000 men, with air forces, would pro- tect it In transit. Then something else happened. An “enemy” trans- port convoy slipped up undetected into the harbor of Porto Bello, a Panamanian port, about 26 miles from the Zone.

Then the Federated Industries came along and said anyone who wanted children to have a chance was a bolshevist and a revolutionary. That settled the matter. A lot of these members may be working for “the peepul,” but they know their master’s voice. Anyway, friends of the children down here tell me to tell you they're doing everything they can and that they'll fight right up to the last. They're to have a public hearing next Monday evening that may do some good. We quit at noon today along with the rest of the folks down here. Only the lobbyists will work over the week-end —the busy little bees have nothing on them. Yours truly, | JIM MARSHALL.
