Old John L. Sullivan would turn over in his grave if
he knew what fights pull down nowadays.
A NAVAL STATION ON RESURRECTION BAY
The Federal budget to be submitted to Congress next
" December is now made up, and among the important!
items is a provision for the addition of three battle cruis'
ers or other Naval vessels of equal strength each year for
a period of 25 years.
Clearly, that is nothing less than formal notice to the
rest of the world that if the big Nations of Europe refuse
to reduce their Naval armaments, the United States will
meet them to the limit in building up a powerful Navy.
And it is right that we shuold do so. Our National
attitude is and should be one of peace and friendship with
all races and all Nations, but with a weather eye out for
possible danger and attack.
In this connection, our Federal officials from the
President down should be warned again and again that
Alaska, one of the richest store houses of mineral and oth
er wealth in the world, is the least defended and the most
exposed to attack of any part of the continent of North
America.
And right here at Seward, where the government |
owned Alaska Railroad connects all of the vast Interior of
Alaska with all of the great sweep of its many thousands
of miles of coast line is the logical and natural location
for a Naval Station of the first magnitude.
The Naval Board of Strategy at Washington official
ly recognizes the force and importance of this fact. Every
expediency and every necessity requires that immediate
action should be taken to the building of an adequate Nav
al Station on the strategic and central harbor of Resur
rection Bay near Seward.
Mr. Tunney is in fine form. Mr. Dempsey never was
better. This is what the experts tell us now. Morning
after the battle of the century they’ll tell us what really j
was wrong with the loser.
“LOTS OF THINGS CAN HAPPEN”
pefore the Dempsey-Sharkey fight a fprmer boxer gave
out the “dope” as to who would win, but qualified his
prophesy by saying, “lots of things can happen.”
This reminds one of the coming Presidental nomina
tions, particularly on the Republican side, whch naturally
has been more or less active since Mr. Coolidge’s an
nouncement. And while Herbert Hoover, Frank 0. Low
den and Charles G. Dawes are prominently mentioned in
the order named for the high honor of nomination, any
wise political forecaster will always use the boxer’s sag"
acity and say “Lots of things can happen.”
And it is right that we should do so. Our National
citizens and capable statesmen; and it is quite unlikely
that America would crumble like Rome should either of
them be eventually fortunate enough to sit at the head of
the United States government. The point is, however, that
politics differs from boxing and other clean sports in that
the best man doesn’t always win; and besides, lots of thngs
Do happen.
The more some people see of rqan the more convinced
are they that the Darwin theory is correct.
There is such a thing as too much modesty. The emi
nent Chicago business man who attributes success to luck
is an example. Now all our copy book maxims will have
to be revised.
Lone married women are to be excluded from Cuba
unless they can show official permits signed by their hus
bands. Cuba does not propose to become an alimony
hunting ground.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Washington’s Farewell Address (1796)
>
SUCCESSOR BEEN NAMED BUT
NOT ANNOUNCED YET; HAS
DESIRED TO RETIRE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. (#>)—On a
wave of protest aroused by the action
of the Federal Reserve Board in forc
ing reduction in re-discount rate of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago,
Mr. Crissenger of Ohio, retired as
governor of the Federal Reserve
Board. His resignation was accepted
,by President Coolidge.
Mr. Crissenger declared his resig
nation was not caused directly or in
directly by the row over the Reserve
Boards power as brought to the pub
lics attention in the Chicago case. He
said he had long ago determined to
retire and had accepted an offer with
a Washington investment company.
The retirement of Mr. Crissenger
came as a surprise to most officials
in Washington. It was also a piece of
news to the Federal Reserve Advis
ory Council which will convene this
week. His successor has already been
selected but will not be named for
several days.
