C., Feb. 5â€"On Junuary 21st the House passed the Navy Department Appropriation Bill providing for an expenditure of $549,227,842 for the next fiscal year. This is the largest sum alâ€" lotted for naval purposes since the fiscal year 1920â€"21. One week later, on January 28th, the President submitted a message to Congress recommending the enâ€" actment of legislation which would authorize additional appropriations for both our military and naval forces. Almost immediately the chairman of the House Committee on Naval Affairs introduced a bill authorizing a $800 million naval program in accordance with the President‘s recommendations. For the last several days the House Committee on Naval Affairs has been holding public hearings on this bill. Being a member of the committee I do not feel at liberty to pass judgment on the pending legislation until the Admirals have explajned to the committee the necâ€" essity. [for the program andâ€"until we ho o AiÂ¥iT C SucrPtestHOnf" no" may be offered by parties opposed to the bill. But I believe I can with proâ€" priety say that there are a great many peopleâ€"members of Congress and private citizensâ€"who are inâ€" clined to believe that the Presiâ€" dent‘s armament expansion program when finally disclosed represents more than a purely defensive proâ€" gram. It is true that in his message to Congress the President emphasized the fact that he made the recomâ€" mendations "specifically and solely becausé of the piling up of addiâ€" tional land and sea armaments in other countries, in such manner as to involve a threat to world peace and security." It is also true that in his testimony before the Naval Affairs committee Admiral W, D. Leahy, Chief of Naval Operations, repeated several times his original statement: "There is nothing in this program that would permit of agâ€" gressive action, of policing the world, or of projecting an attack against the territory of any other naval power." In spite of these assurances of the purely defensive nature of the armament expansion program now before us, the President‘s recomâ€" mendations have created public anxiety and fears lest it ultimately may. mean our becoming involved in a war. Many are not sure the Presâ€" ident has made known the precise policy that miotivates his proposal. Insofar as any sentiment can be analyzed at all, there seems to be three underlying reasons for these misgivings and fears in connection with the proposed armament proâ€" gram. First, some have their misgivings because of the personal characterisâ€" tics and philosophy of the President as an individual. This factor can probably be best explained by a quotation from a recent magazine article by the eminent historian Charles A. Beard. He writes: "Hovering over the scene is bhel prospect of war. That President! Roosevelt would struggle in the last ditch to keep the country out of foreign wars may well be doubted. He has, to be sure, expressed hosâ€" tility to war. But realists in poliâ€" tics, while accepting the sincerity of his present intentions, take no stock in such declarations by rules anywhere. Besides, President Rooseâ€" velt is more or less obsessed by the universal philanthropy of Woodrow Wilson. Like Wilson, he feels that America is morally bound to do good everywhere and imagines himâ€" self able to know the good in each and every case." Second, some have their fears and misgivings because of the Presiâ€" dent‘s speech at Chicago. In that speech he spoke of the necessity for "concerted effort in opposition to treaty violations," the necessity of "positive endeavors" and indicated that a "quarantine" might be imâ€" posed _ by _ peaceâ€"loving . nations against aggressor nations. What did he mean, is the quesâ€" tion asked by Senator Hiram Johnâ€" son, of California.

CATTON CALL to pursue a policy of uniting our forces with other nations in applyâ€" ing sanctions for the enforcement of treaties. He is fearful that this is what the President has in mind and possibly accounts for the armasâ€" ment program. He is fearful that the whole policy points to war. fearful that the President wishes in Great Britain. Heretofore Britâ€" «in has jealously eyed American naval phm‘;“Wo w % recall the days ore conference in 1922. Today, howâ€" ever, Great Britain hails our proâ€" posed program, which enthusiasm causes some to believe there is some secret alliance or understanding beâ€" tween_ us and Great Britain. This fact is emphasized by Senator Wilâ€" liam Borah, of Idaho, who insists that we should not do anything to cause us to become involved in forâ€" eign conflicts. And.â€" lastly, some have their fears and misgivings over the armâ€" ament program because of, the enâ€" thusiasm with which it was recived program. But it will do so simply because it is convinced that it is necessary for an adequate defense. Yet there will be these misgivings and fears that more than a defense of our* own shores motivates the President. D. A. R. BETTER FILMS REVIEW Congress wishes to keep out of war.

Trip United Air Lines boldly faced the problem of some wives who frown on ‘husbands fiying by announcing that effective immediately it will without charge, the wives of husâ€" bands\ who purchase one way or round trip tickets between Chicago and New York. The courtesy flights for wives will be effective until March 1. The decision to make this offer to the wives of the nation‘s two largâ€" est cities followed the introduction of this experiment between San Francisco and Los Angeles by United several weeks ago. The eduâ€" cational results were so satisfactory that the offer was extended to the east. In the invitation Harold Cracy, viceâ€"president in charge of traffic, stated: "If you are a wife who puts her foot down on flying, it is probâ€" ably because you are unfamiliar with flying. To convince wives that air travel is dependable, we are willing to go half way, as we know that if you are acquainted with air travel as it is conducted today, not only will you approve of your husâ€" band flying but you will fly yourself on subsequent trips between Chiâ€" cago and New York." > United also announced that the wife may bring without charge chilâ€" dren under two years of age, and with advance notice, baby food will be put on the plane and served by the stewardess. "The decision of United Air Lines to invite wives to accompany their husbands, as guests of the line, is a new sales approach to interesting wives in flying and to give force to the saying that ‘two can live as cheaply as one‘ at least ‘two can fly as cheaply as one‘," said Crary.
