DO WE WANT EQUALITY?
At the London Naval Confrence the
American delegates insisted on
"equality" with Great Britain. When
the Treaty came before Congress,
some members opposed it because
they claim parity was not obtained.
Before the Conference we didnt
have "parity" or "equality" for the
sole reason that we refused to spend
the money to build so large a navy
or to maintain it. Again, this year,
Congress gives signs of neglecting
to build up our naval strength. The
Philadelphia Inquirer says:
"While the necessity of an im
mediate enlargement of the Navy
to the limit sanctioned by the Lon
don Treaty is not apparent, particu
larly in view of present economic
conditions, the sweeping reductions
recommended by the House Appro
priations Committee are, to say the
least, open to question. The report
calls for some $36,000,000 less than
the expenditures of the current fiscal
year, reached by a downward revision
of practically every branch of the
service. There is to be sharp reduc
tion doth of ships and personnel
Naturally the chairman of the Naval
Affairs Committee, the belligerent
Mr. Britton,iis ready to 5ght such a
programme to the last gasp.
"This cutting down of a Navy none
too large is of dubious expediency.
The objections of naval officers gen
erally cannot wholly be discounted by
an assertion that they take a purely
professional view. There has always
been a division of civilian and military
opinion in the matter of national de
fense. Probably this is on the whole
salutary. The zeal of both Navy and
Army officers occasionally needs re
straining. But in this case the House
Appropriations Committee is under an
obligation to furnish convincing rea
sons for its attitude. A 'blue print*
Navy is not a fighting weapon.
There has been too often a disposi
tion is time of peace to ignore the
need of adequate preparation for a
possible time of war.
"An ambitious building programme
for the Navy not be essential just at
present But few persons familiar
with the existing conditions will be
disposed to agree that any reduction
of the force is advisable."

there was a decline of about 2 per

About A Lot Of Things' s
, ?? |<
Raleigh, Mar. 6.?Major General j -
Smedley D. Butler of the United 1
States Marine and "Philadelphia dean 1j
up" fame, whose front page stuff has j
been read around the world, will open Ii
his Southern lecture tour in Raleigh *
at the Hugh Morison 'High School J'
auditorium next Monday night, March I
9, at 8:30 o'clock. His subject has been 1
announced as "The Truth About A Lot 1
of Things," and the sponsors of his 1
local appearance have intimated hfe I:
will "blow the lid off." I
While in Raleigh, General Butler (
will be the week-end guest of Jose-1
phus Daniels, editor of the News and j
Observer, who will introduce him to
the local audience. The distinguished I
marine was in the service at the time
Mr. Daniels was Secretary of the
Navy and the two enjoyed a mutual L
friendship.
Raleigh will be among the few
Southern cities to welcome General I (
Butler on this trip. He will hit the
South only in high spots, going from
here to Atlanta and then to Birming
ham. The fact that the lecture tour
will be opened in Raleigh will give
his lecture here added interest The \
1 I '
Hugh Morison auditorium will seat a- (
bout 1,200 people and it is expected ,
that this 'space will be filled. It will I,
be the largest available hall at. this ]
time. <
FURNITURE DAMAGED IN <
FIRE OF WEDNESDAY A. M.
}
A large davenport, a radio, and 1
a chair, estimated at $300, were
burned in a fire, which is thought to ^
have started from a cigarette stump, <
in the residence occupied by Wal- ,1
ter J. Newton at 4:00 Wednesday
morning. The dense smoke aroused <
Mr. and Mrs. Newton, asleep in a
bedroom above.
The fire company's ready response ]
to the alarm, the rapidity with
which the burning pieces of furni
ture were removed, and the extin
guishing of the flames which had
spread to the floor doubtless saved
the house, situated on te corner of
Church and Green streets, and owned
by T. M. Dail.
The local fire department is com
posed of 32 men, and inspite of the ,
exceedingly cold, swowy morning,
and the early hour, every man, with
the exception of one member who
was ill, reported for duty.
A few of the outstanding features
at the recent funeral for a New York
(N. Y.) bootleger, who was killed
by rival gangsters, were: A $10,000 ;
bronze casket, 40 automobiles filled
with flowers, 85 detectives and po
licemen, 110 chauffers and 3 priests.
Thousands of curious persons view
ed the cortege.
r
Mr. and Mrs. Morris Blossom, of
Brockport, N. Y., have announced that
the 22nd Blossom?a 9-pound son?
has jyst been added to the family
bouquet:
The oldest living member of the
Masonic fraternity in the United
States is believed to be L. M. Logee,
who has just celebrated his 105th
birthday anniversary at Charlton,
Mass.
