C., March 12.â€" In pasisng judgment upon the Presiâ€" ident‘s pending naval expansion bill we should be guided by three fundaâ€" mental truths; (1) the American people do not want war, (2) the American people believe the best way to avoid war is not to become involved in foreign entanglements and conflicts, and (3) the Ameriâ€" can people believe in preparedness by maintaining an adequate nationâ€" al defense. Every Member of Conâ€" gress should analyze the armament wituation and the proposed expanâ€" sion with those three principles upâ€" permost in his mind. In the lower left hand corner, two talented young musicians, Bob Lunâ€" din and Newton Hoffman are shown seated for a duet; in the lower cenâ€" ter are Shirley and Bud Pfister, who It would be folly for the Ameriâ€" can people to permit her armed forâ€" ces to become obsolete and inadeâ€" quate. We must at all times take care that we are sufficiently preparâ€" ed to defend ourselves against forâ€" eign aggression. We must be realâ€" ists and not be carried away by any ideologies. complice, the piano But it would also be folly for the American people to set about conâ€" structing a naval force beyond our defensive needs. ‘Excessive armaâ€" ments not only represent an ecoâ€" nomic loss but Also become instruâ€" ments of aggression. A naval force too large can be as dangerous as a naval force too small. The former encourages unnecessary activity in foreign waters and the latter inâ€" vites activity in home waters. The question is, where is the line to be drawn between "necessary" and "excessive." Where is the point at which a navy becomes, by virtue of its nature and size, an inâ€" strument for aggression rather than solely an instrument for defense? It is by no means an easy question to answer. Yet it is precisely the question raised by the pending naâ€" val expansion bill. Whenever the heads of any Govâ€" ernment propose to enlarge their armed forces they invariably try to convince the people that the enâ€" largement is necessary for the mainâ€" tenance of an adequate national deâ€" fense. Time_and again that arguâ€" ment has been employed in practiâ€" cally every legislature throughout the world in getting larger and larâ€" ger appropriations. And the necesâ€" sity is shown by building up in the minds of the people fears, suspiâ€" cions, mistrust and visions of atâ€" tacks upon them. As a matter of fact, the same arâ€" gument is employed In-vzywu that has ever been fought. it not true that Germany claimed she was fighting a "defensive war"! Was not the same contention made by the Allied Powers! Is it not true that Japan insisted that her taking of Manchuria and subsequent enâ€" trance into China proper has been for "selfâ€"defense!" And so, when the Administration proposes an enlargement of our armed forces on the ground of "selfâ€"defense," the proposal is not to be accepted at its face value. Raâ€" ther it behooves us to a painsâ€" mm‘t&#fl.b gether with the events and cireamâ€" Representative 10th Congressional (North Shore) Distzjct THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON By RALPH E. CHURCH stances leading yp to the recomâ€" mendation. We must exercise care not to be carried away by "idealâ€" ism" or by unfounded visions of an attack upon us. I nzl personally convinced that if such an approach is made to the subject the conclusion will ineviâ€" tably be that the pending bill was not proposed for the alleged purpose of "selfâ€"defense." That is a deliberâ€" ate camouflage! On the contrary, this proposed addition to the navy is designed as an instrument of power diplomacy to be exerciged in cooperâ€" ation with Great ~Britain on the Wilsonian theory of "collective seâ€" curity." are really going to swing out with a "Big Apple" interpretation of "Bei Mir Bist Du‘ Schon;"‘ and in lower right corner is Daniel Cobb who will rock the house with his "I Love Life." This is the attitude I would urge the American people to take in reaching an opinion on the proposed $1,121,000,000 addition to our navy. It is impossible here to enumerate all the facts and cireumstances that make this clear as the undisclosed purpose of the President. Perhaps a few questions will provoke thought on what really lies behind the bill. 1. Under the Vinsonâ€"Trammel Act of 1924 a $4 billion naval proâ€" gram wa sauthorized, which has not been completed. Why siould anâ€" other billion dollars be added at this time? 2. Eleven new battleships have already been authorized, and why does the President desire authorizaâ€" tion for three more when a battleâ€" ship is designed for operation in foreign waters? 3. Why does the bill emphasize the battleship, which is essentially an instrument of aggression, over aircraft, which is essentially an inâ€" strument of defense? 4. Why does the President alâ€" ways .refuse to explain what he meant by speaking of "quarantines" through cooperation? 5. Why does the President reâ€" fuse to deny categorically that he has an "understanding‘ ‘with Great Britain? Why the secrecy? 6. Why did the President recomâ€" mend this bill because of a "threat to world peace and security" rather than because of a "threat" to our own peace and security? 7. ‘Does the President, who was Assistant Secretary of Navy under Woodrow Wilson, have the same foreign policy in mind that Presiâ€" dent Wilson advanced?
