In a Navy Day address on October 27, 1931, Mr. Hoover said: "The first necessity of our Government is the maintenance of a Navy so efficient and strong that, in conjunction with our Army, no enemy may ever invade our country. The commanding officers of our forces inform me that we are maintaining that strength and efficiency. Ours is a force of defense, not offense.

Another phase of the war between Italy and Britain is taking place in Africa where Italy is attacking the colonies of the British for the undoubted purpose of adding them to its own possessions. Although a direct assault on Egypt has been avoided, forces operating from Libya have felt out the defenses of the Sudan, and a fort on the border between Ethiopia and Kenya has been taken after five days of hot battle. Lying adjacent to both Ethiopia and Italian Somaliland, Kenya would be a useful addition to the Italian Empire, for in addition to containing high land like that in Ethiopia where Europeans can be colonized, it possesses gold deposits the exploitation of which has just begun.

No critic has yet asserted that with the navies provided in this agrement, together with our Army, aerial defense and our national resources, we cannot defend ourselves, and certainly we want no military establishment for the purpose of domination of other nations." Under this treaty Mr.

Hoover said that our naval program" was to complete the ships already authorized by Congress and necessary to be replaced under the Washington Limitations Agreement, and to maintain a fleet of destroyers of about 225,000 tons and a submarine fleet of about 90,000 tons. Although such a fleet would not reach parity with Great Britain its cost of construction, he estimated, would be more than $500,000,000 spread over the ensuing six years. After a long wrangle in Congress this treaty was ratified and signed by President Hoover on July 22, 1930. With Mr. Hoover's views on naval limitation and disarmament, Mr.

Roosevelt was then in complete accord. In a radio address two months after he first took office he said, "We are seeking a general reduction of armaments and through this the removal of the fear of invasion and armed attack, and, at the same time, a reduction In armament costs in order to help in balancing the government budgets and the reduction of taxation." And in his five-point peace program, announced only the other day, he said that the fear of war could only be banished by the nations of the world resorting to disarmament.

The USS" Washington, with the regulation complement of auxiliaries, could blow the combined navies of all the Latin-American republics out of the water, without scratching its own paint. A brigade of Marines could take over their combined armies.

The fact is that the Latin-American republics are not a unit in anything. Argentina and Brazil, for example, are bitter rivals for the leadership of South America. Their smaller neighbors tend to move in their orbits. They all suspect the intentions of the United States. They will play along while the loans last.

The conditions are vastly different from what they were during Mr. Hoover's Administration when the whole world was turning hopefully to a reduction in armaments.

Yet Keynoter Bank-head not only takes no account of this but he even misrepresents what was done by the Hoover Administration to maintain the nation in an adequate state of preparedness. Britain has recognized Haile Selassie as the ruler of Ethiopia and are now rumored to be ready to recognize the Czechs again. It looks as though they wanted to live in a dream world all their own. If the United States really wants to protect South America against the Nazis, the Our Roving Ambassador Shortly after the German occupation or Paris, it was reported from Washington simultaneously by a number of newspaper correspondents and news agencies that the State Department (meaning Secretary Hull) was displeased with Ambassador Bullitt's decision to remain in Paris rather than with the French government to which he was There is every reason to believe that those reports were correct. They were never denied, and circumstantial evidence supports them, for Mr.

Bullitt's decision to remain in Paris destroyed at a critical time the best line of communication between the State Department and the French government. In Paris, he could accomplish little or nothing that a charge d'affaires could not have done almost as while his presence there meant that the United States was represented at the various temporary capitals of France by no diplomatic official able to talk with authority, Ambassador Biddle, who accompanied the French government, being accredited to Poland. Now Mr. Bullitt has turned up in Lisbon, where he has booked an airplane passace Germany, that he desired nothing so much as to retire to the contemplation and the nractice of Dainting. Perhaps he believes that he will be the more greatly inspired could he be surrounded by some of the Willkie's Campaign Manager.
