NAVIES HATE RESTRICTIONS
The typical big navy point of view was expressed in an
article in The Kansas City Star recently that said: “The
long and short of it is that the United States tossed away its
actual and potential naval superiority in 1922 in the signing
of the arms reduction treaty of that year, and nobody else
surrendered much of anything."’
This statement ignores the fact that all four of the
other countries which signed the Washington naval treaty
thought they were making substantial concessions. Both
the British and the Japanese governments were bitterly crit
icized at the time for betraying their national interests in
accepting the 5-5-3 ratio, while France and Italy were so
dissatisfied with their quotas that they could not be induced
to enter the next naval conference in 1930.
What is more important, the big-navy point of view
completely fails to recognize the great advantages that the
United States and the whole world gained from the Wash
ington and London treaties. These advantages include
years of freedom from the fear of another naval construction
race such as preceded the World War, the ending of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance which had clouded Anglo-Ameri
can relations, the creating of the 9-power pact which for a
decade improved international relations under a sense of
greater security, the eliminating of friction by settling at
least temporarily what naval bases should be fortified, and
extensive economies for the United States, and the other
participating nations.
The system of naval limitation, based on a reasonable
conception of national defense needs, seems about to end,
because the Japanese big-navy advocates now control their
government’s policy. Such an outcome would be a serious
blow at the cause of peace.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Lack of ambition is a disease. Some people have bad
cases of it.
Every city has a number of chronic knockers. They
just keep "on doing the only thing they know how to do well.
They knock morning, noon and night. Somebody should
set them right.
The advertisements in this newspaper show that the
stores of your city have a superiority of merchandise, price
and service.
The time to advertise your business is right now !
Nationally advertised goods are goods of quality.

News - Letter
OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
Delegate from Alaska
(By J. J. ECKLES)
(Continued from Yesterday)
The Delegate's opinion of a recent
order that has been issued by the
Alaska Railroad insisting on reduc
tion of subsistence costs, is exempli
fied in the following letter sent to
the General Manager of the Alaska
Railroad:
“My attention has been called thru
the press and otherwise to letter
dated April 16, 1935, with respect
to the cost of meals in railroad
camps.
"The last paragraph of the letter
reads as follows:
"Instruct all cooks to put one
serving on the table and discontin
ue the practice of second helpings
immediately. There will be no ex
cuses for high meal cost next mon
th. If cooks do not care to co-oper
ate in this matter kindly issue pass
for their return to town at once.’
“This is one of the most startling
things that I have read in recent
years. Somehow I had thought that
we had left such an attitude of
mind behind us some time
ago. It would seem, however,
from this letter that if one of
the railroad employees does not got
sufficient food from the first serv
ing, however small it may be, it is
equivalent to a crime to ask for a
second helping. This reminds one
of the astonishment which greeted
Oliver Twist's request for ‘more’.
It is too bad Dickins could not have
had this letter before him when
he wrote that famous book.
I
“May I respectfully suggest that
this letter or order be revoked irn
mediately and that you personally
see to it that cooks on The Alaska j
Railroad are instructed to serve the >
employees sufficient food without:
danger of losing their jobs.
Very truly yours,
Anthony J. Dimond, Delegate
