1 THURSDAY BROOKLYN TIMES UNION APRIL 20, 1933 ADDRESS MAIL 540 ATLANTIC BROOKLYN DAVISON URGES PREPAREDNESS IN Y.M.C.A. ADDRESS Declares There's Bound to Another War in Hempstead Talk. Hempstead, April the facts, we are glong to have another war some day," said F. Trubee Davison, former Under Secretary of War, speaking at a Y. M.

C. A. conference in the Hempstead City Club last night. "Nevertheless," he continued, "I believe peace attempts are worth while. But, despite the League of Nations, the World Court and the Kellogg-Briand pact outlawing wars we have had, in the last few years, wars between France and Riffs, Poland and Russia, Bolivia and Peru and Japan and China.

It has been estimated that during the 3,421 years of the historical era, the world has been at war during 3,157 years. Only 268 years have seen complete peace." Davison spoke on "Armaments, Disarmaments and International Peace." He cited Calvin Coolidge's definition of an adequate national defense- one which was not large enough to arouse fears among other nations of America encroaching on their rights yet enough to prevent them from encroaching on America's, and declared that this was his conception of the best solution. In advocating a national defense, Mr. Davison gave it as his opinion that the United States never would have been drawn into the World War had it been armed. "Germany would not have dared provoke us as she did with her submarine attacks, if we had premented a competently armed he added.

"Furthermore many lives would have been spared and millions of dollars saved had we been prepared." The idea that veterans World War and the officers of the Regular Army advocate war was scouted by the former Under Secretary. He gave instances from his personal experience tending to show that such men were in reality against war. Regarding the situation in the Far East, Mr. Davison was outspoken. "There has not been a shadow of right on Japan's side throughout the entire situation," he said.

"It is worse than nerve on Japan's part, it is gall." He then declared that Japan never would have dared, bully China had China been properly armed. The meeting was under the direction of Ralph W. Brown, executive director of the Nassau-Suffolk Y. M. C.

The favored NASSAU QUEENS SUFFOLK FLUSHING LANDMARK DESTROYED BY FIRE Vacant Warehouse, Once Pavilion Hotel, Burns. One of Flushing's landmarks was destroyed by fire, which caused considerable damage and blocked ed traffic on Northern blvd. and Prince st. for nearly two hours. Passersby noticed flames shootfrom the vacant warehouse at Lawrence st.

and the Long Island Railroad, and turned in an alarm. The fire, the cause of which is undetermined, started on the first floor and immediately shot up through the second, third and fourth floors to the roof, necessitating a second alarm. Nine companies from Flushing, College Point, Corona and Beechhurst responded to' the alarms. These fought the blaze under the leadership of Deputy Fire Chief John O'Connell. When Flushing was a village 80 years ago, the structure was known A8 the Pavilion Hotel.

It was then in the centre of the business section and continued as a hotel for about 50 years, until the consolidation of New York City.

PATCHOGUE DELAYS PICKING PARK HEAD Opposition to Rogers' Renaming for Beach Job Halts Action by Board.

Patchogue, April the Park Committee of the Patchogue Village Board had apparently settied the question of the managership of the municipal bathing beach at Smithport Park, offering the post to William T. Rogers, a difference of opinion developed this week at the meeting and resulted in the matter being referred' back. This time it was referred with provision that the committee's decision be final, even though one member of the board announced that while he would submit to the decision he would not be satisfied. Two weeks ago the board ceived applications from Mr. Rogers and from Wallace Otis.

Rogers has operated the beach for the past three summers and dur. ing the year is athletic director at the East Islip H. S. In making application this year he offered to take a cut in pay. Mr.

Otis is a recent college graduate and, like Mr. Rogers, is a prominent local athlete. He referred to the fact he had been unable to get ployment since graduation. The Park Committee of which Trustee John Swezy is chairman met at once and decided to offer the managership to Rogers at $30 a week instead of the $42 he had received for the last three years and offered the post of assistant to Otis at $20. Swezey announced this week Otis had rejected the offer and recommended that Rogers be engaged as manager and an assistant hired at $18 a week.

Trustee Charles N. Butler took issue with the recommendation of the committee and suggested that both men be engaded as managers on "a fifty-fifty basis." Mayor Foster disagreed pointing out there would not be any individual responsibility. Trustee Arthur Mullen then declared he believed the recommendation should be reversed and Otis made manager and Rogers assistant. Meanwhile Trustee Michael Prudent, who, with Trustee William E. Jones makes up the committee, tee began to waver and this led Trusmittee Swezey did to ask why, if the comnot wish to give the job to time," Rogers, it did not say so at the and pointed out he had already "offered the job to Rogers on orders from the committee." Then the name of Capt.

George Conklin, who operated the beach before the village erected the new pavilion and bath houses, was injected as a candidate by Trustee Prudent and recommendation read from Thomas Johnson. The board ruled the letter was not a formal application and the Conklin application was not held to be proper. Finally the board referred the matter back to the committee with every indication that it will carry its recommendation to the board. Trustees Swezey and Jones are understood to be holding firm to their original recommendation, while Trustee Prudent has asked a few days to think it over.
