(Continued from Page One)
For the past 150 years we have
been attempting to get this Amer
j ican idea over in Europe. For the
| past 19 years we have witnessed
every gesture of goodwill and com
ity met with the age-old chicanery
of European politicians, while
they snickered in their sleeves at
the yokels we are in supposing
that the principles of liberty, jus
tice and equal opportunity have
taken root in blood-soaked soils.
The United States of America i
stands today as much in isolation
as friendship and good will goes
as it was on the day when the
Continental Army struck the ban
ners of monarchy from our soil.
For this we have not been forgiven
Unless we are prepared to meet
like with like, force with force,
and stand ready at any moment
to defend our all we are#doomed to
become a subjugated nation.
And thus we have reason to won
der at the studied lethargy on the
part of Washington in preparing
to meet this attempt at subjuga
tion at the point where it will first
express itself—Alaska.
It is time the government con
sidered the question of creating
a naval base at Seward. It offers
every facility for the establishment
of docks and facilities for serving
naval ships based in its great har
bor, capable of accomodating the
entire American fleet.
The argument against this pri
mary protection has been that we
have no ships to spare for such a
base. Let us see if this is correct.
In our various navy yards are types
which are decommissioned, but
highly effective for the nature of
protecting Alaskan shores. We
have the four armored cruisers,
Seattle, Charlotte and Missoula,
armed with four 10-inch 50 calibre
guns as well as 14 six-inch calibre
guns, and the Pittsburg, armed
with four 8 inch 50-calibre and 6
inch 50-calibre guns.
The first three are 14,500 tons
and the last one 13,600 tons. All
these boats are 502 feet long, have
a speed of better than 22 knots
and are heavily armored, and cap
able of rendering great service in
harassing an enemy attempting to
run the gauntlet of a Seward base
and the Hawaiian Islands, what
with our land-locked harbors and
retreats all leading to Seward.
For protected cruisers he have
the St. Louis and Charleston, hav
ing 12 6 inch 50-calibre guns, 12
3 inch 51-calibre guns and both
of 9.700 tons and a speed of 23
knots.
All these ships were commission
ed in 1907 and are highly effective
units.
For battleships we have the
North Dakota, 20,000 tons; Utah
and Florida, 21,835 tons and all
having a speed of 21 knots and
carrying 12-inch and 5-inch guns.
These vessels were commissioned
in 1919 and 1911.
The government is preparing to
use the Utah for a target ship and j
scrap the Florida.
For other units such as destroy- j
ers, submarines and eagles, we,
have an abundance. Out of this we
can have an effective Alaskan
navy.
We are the only nation with for
eign possessions without auxiliary
naval protection. England has her
Canadian, Australian and South
African units, based ready to meet
the preliminary assault and hold
the lines until her grand fleet can
come onto the scene. These units
could not compare with that which
could be assembled in Resurrection
Bay as an assurance that the Unit
ed States intended to defend its
half-million square miles of em
pire with its golden treasures
against all comers.
And while the war clouds have
been gathering and may loose a
deluge of carnage at any moment,
Congress has been throwing money
to the four winds in immoral prof
ligacy and at the same time clos
ing its ear to those who see and
interpret the danger, crippling the
fighting force on land and sea
and making of our navy a social
adjunct for the summer resorts
where gather the “elite” of the na- i
tion, as if it were necessary to
pi'otect bejewelled dowagers and
profligate playboys while feasting
at the wells of Bacchus and
Daphne.
We have tried the olive branch
and katowed and fawned at a self- j
ordained European superiority
long enough. We have been a dupe;
of their conquistatorial debauches
and been over generous in our ef
forts to maintain comity. Since it
has failed it is time to meet like
with like. The only thing the mil
itarists respect is a larger cannon;
and a larger fighting force.
Britain realized this when she
adopted the slogan “What we have i
we hold.” It was her fighting abil- I
ity which translated it into verity.

Olson, from Sweden, and Mary

WAKE UP YOUR

WITHOUT CALOMEL
And You’D Jump Out of Bed in

If you feel sour and suni and the world
Looks punk, don't swallow a lot of salts,
mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing
Klim and expect them to make you suddenly
sweet and buoyant and full cf sunshine.
For they can’t do it. They only move the
bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at
the cause. The reason for your dour, and-ous
reeling is your liver. It should pour cot two |
pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
If this bile is not flowing freely, your food (
doesn’t digest. It. just decays in the bowels. I
linn bloats up your stomach. You have a
thi'k, bad taste and your breath is foul. |
sgin ofUn breaks out in blemishes. Your head (
aches and you feel down and out. Your whole
system is poisoned. j
ir cakes those good, old CARTER'S j
UTTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two |
pounds of bile flowing freely and make you |
feel “up and up." They contain wonderful, j
L urml.iss, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing j
when it comes to making the bile flow freely. i
But don’t ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter’s ;
