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.
