" a nation has no land boundaries. " is the case with Eng- land and Japan, its outlook is entirelyctransmaritime and it err joys a stimulus toward sea-power not possessed by such na- tions as Germany, France and Russia. As the United States has overland econanic connections with Canada and Mexico, our emanation on overseas operations is handicapped. Mex- ico, Wet, is has a military menace than Scotland was to Englandrwhile Canada is more of a protection to the United States as long as it remains in the British Empire than if it were entirely independent. Though impotent to do damage to the United States by themselves, either Canada or Mexico might serve as landing places for forces aimed at the United States from across the Atlantic or the Pacific. The first menace, however, would be from the sea and for that reason the defense of this country is primarily a naval matter. Americana are earnest and able producers. They are realiz- ing their increasing dependence on overseas trade and are be- ginning to give support to the strengthening of their shipping can progress. Various phases of the naval situation will be taken up in articles that will appear each day in this column. Both America and Europe import foodstuffs and crude ma- teriats, and both export manufactures which are sold in compe- tition with each other in the less industrialized areas oCthe world. Thus the imports of the United States from across the Paeifie and the Caribbean are about twice as great as these from Europe. Ot late much emphasis has been laid upon the neces- sitrMt-dimportsoftmehetsaentiat1hertnateriahirasmarr. ganeee, rubber and tin.

Maritime trade is the parent of shipping power; shipping power is the parent of naval power; and these two are the principal items of sea-power power. When the importance of the various factors is realized. then naval power will be rated according to the needs and capacities rather than according to some formula or ratio ar- rived at in a conference. HoovERt' HUMAN ITARIAN ISM ° In no way has Herbert Hoover revealed himself more com- pletely as the great humanitarian of this generation than in his attitude toward children. This attitude cannot be better ex- pressed than in his own words. which appeared more than eight years ago in the "Saturday Evening Post." "I believe the attitude of a nation toward child welfare will soon become the test of its civilization. " we are to have a healthy people and a healthy government, we must start with healthy children. If we;are to have an advancing civilization, if we are to have a united social state, if we are to have an equal- ity of opportunity in the United States. we must have universal education. If we are to have real Americanization, we must add the flux of our common schools to our vaunted melting pot." appears. A: American overseas possessions and interests already amemnttomoeethantheuttai-tthotmtreountrySoreara It is the great heart of Hoover which endear: him to the American people, and particularly to American mothers'. They know that their children are safe in a land whose government uadaiigsi-dteamanwhoatteredtheeatireroaiothis life tocarryfoodtolittleoneewhowerehungry. Although the search and capture. of the phantom burglar may not change the policy of the local police, it does, never- theless, elect the good names of the boys who are temporarily OUR NEED FOR ADEQUATE SEA-POWER I One of the greatest, if not the greatest, change of late in the economic world is the fact that, whereas Europe was the. sole center of world-wide commerce and political power before; the twentieth century, the organization that has developed in: North America already equals -_that of all non-Russian Europe,' in most essential respects. It may be fairly said that the iii.? nomic productivity of North America and that of Europe, west! of Russia. each amounts ter about a third of the total for the. world-while that of this country is growing the more rapidly) andHs by far the greatest per capita. i, As neat Saturday, Oct. 27, is. Navy Day, and as this week has been set aside for a discussion of the main points in con- nection with the American navy, it is not out of place at this time to glance over the future relations of sea-power to Ameri- canm variottsphasesofthenavalaituationwi11be This is more than an expression of Hoover's belief; it is an expression of the dominant trait of his character, which led him away from an opportunity to earn a gigantic fortune into the trying and pecuniarily thankless task of feeding the children of Belgium wig the wolf of hunger followed marching enemies. Hoover's work for children has not been national. No bor- ders have constrained it. The gratitude of whole populations has been given to him because he did for children that which, because' of the very human love within him, he could not re- fuse to do. . When the hw'ment others are up against a problem of capturing a dam in! brainy individual, they invariably ar- rest a bunch of 'tgatqt corner loafers and other conventionally suspicious, characters. Moat of the time, however, the person they are seeking is one who is a model for good habits and regular hours. If a crook is intelligent he realizes that the best way to throw off suspicion is to have a steady job. Such was the case in "The Lonely One" matter.

During the months that the elusive thief was plying his trade, there were numerous times when street corner loafers, young men out of work, and others with petty police records were arrested on suspicion. It was taken for granted that the -&ief would be a person who was out of work, yet when the capture was made, it was found that "The Lonely One" had a steady job and put in hours that matched the schedule of the most conscientious workman.

While the prevalence of measles is very low just at this time, aver- aging only 25 cases per week in the states, the danger to those who do get it is far greater than during the usual measles season, according to Dr. Isaac D.

Why the disease is more fatal during the autumn months, when cases are fewest, is a ques- tion that puzzles the medical pro- fession and health authorities but the fact remains that measles are five times more apt to terminate fatally in September ani October than in March mg!
