RALEIGH, N. C., Oct. B.—Secre tary Wilbur let the cat out of the j bag. The prize conundrum of last month was: Why was the secretary ■of the navy summoned from the : Pacific coast post haste by President ’ Coolidge, the summons being so im j portant that the secretary made part ' of the trip in a flying machine? For some days there have been ex planations that do not explain- It J was first reported that Wilbur had ; j been talking too much about the ; Japanese and he was to receive a j rebuke. That may have been partly responsible because, after talking at i length of the Japanese he said: j ‘‘The navy is of particular impor j tance to the Pacific coast because i of the belief that the last acts of i the drama of civilization will occur j in and around the Pacific ocean,” I and ‘‘marching hosts of two civiliza- I tions stand face to face across the Pacific,” adding that the basing of , a. fleet in that ocean ‘‘would be a i deterrent against hasty, passionate ! and ill-advised attack and conflict,” and he closed his address, after I pleasant reference to the Japanese, 'by saying: “There is nothing so cool ! ing to a hot temper as a piece of ; cold steel.” As a matter of fact, since ; the Washington conference by an ■ agreement not to fortify any Ameri- I can territory in the Pacific the Far East has been turned over to the i Japanese. There is no hope of keep ! ing the open door or any other pol icy in the Far East, and a. navy I without bates would be worth little : in the Pacific. The formal statement given out was that the hurried flight of the secretary of the navy was to discuss : the “budget.” There is some truth ■ in that, but I doubt if the public really understands the significance ■ of the "budget” discussion. Wilbur Spilled Beans The domestic reason Wilbur was called to the capital was that he had j “let the cat out of the bag’’ prema turely. President Coolidge recently i told us that the ’Washington confer ! ence was “sublime" and for months the people have been fed up on the j miracle worked by that 5-5-3 caba listic gathering. If the Washington conference was a failure, to which other achievement could the adminis tration point? Mr. Wilbur's estimates disproved the rhetorical claims for the Wash ington conference and showed that all the big pretensions of the good it had done were mere bunk. Oh, no, the secretary did not say so. On the 1 contrary, the day before he received ' the Come-At-Once call he had praised I the Washington conference because , it had saved $220,000,000 by junking I the dreadnaughts under construction. ’ That sounds like a big pile of money. I But if he had told of the millions ‘ required to make the American navy ! come up to the ratio, the saving I would have shrunk. He dia not tell the people that i the United States had by the Wash ' ington conference done three things Jof which no American should be proud. The Washington confer- : ence— 1. Surrendered the supremacy of I ! the sea to Britain. The British navy j was left with large battle cruisers ' when the five being built for the j United States were scrapped. We I have none. The British far outnum- j ber us in light cruisers. 2. Surrendered the supremacy of I the air to France. France has 174 j air squadrons while the United States j has 25. France has over three times | as many as Britain and her superior- j ity in Europe was 5 to 1. 3. Surrendered the supremacy of ' the Far East and the Pacific to 1 Japan. Nobody-was allowed to speak about I the navy in the Washington con- i ference except Secretary Hughes. I who does not know anything about ! it. He believes, and his proposal i proved it, that the standing of navies ■ is represented by the dreadnaught. I The secretary of the navy was not j even allowed to serve on any com- ' mittee at the Washington confer- ; ence and the naval officers with I knowledge were muzzled. Hughes • was the whole business when naval ; matters were discussed. The navy ' department was swallowed up by the ; state department. Everybody ex- | cept Hughes knows that naval , strength depends upon various units, ' aircraft, submarines, fast cruisers | and others as well as dreadnaughts. Indeed, there are able naval states men who believe the dreadnaught is more of a liability than an asset, and yet it was the only naval force that ; received any consideration at the j THURSDAY, OCTOBER 0, 1924. i lina. has increased standard high j schools for both races from 78 to [409; enrollment from 23,665 to 75,- [681; number of graduates annually , from 2,040 to 8,829; teachers from j 11,172 to 3,265, and, for negroes, high I ■ schools from none to 14, according I to review by A.

GREENSBORO—North Carolina I ! executive committee of La Follette-! ! for-president movement begins sale i !of “emancipation bonds” in denomi- [ ■ nations of from $1 to SIOO, as means | [of raising campaign fund for inde- : (pendent ticket. I Washington conference. Since then i 1 the United States instead of being ! j on a 5-5-3 ratio, is as to most units ; | below the British navy. How did Wilbur let the cat out ot j the bag? He and his naval advisers I i had made estimates for money to ; [ bring the navy up to equality with ■ the navy of Britain in sea craft, ■ up to France in aircraft and up to ! Japan in fast cruisers. That esti- j mate if it were animate would speak and say. “The Washington confer ence gave supremacy over the United States to other nations. You must have all the money you claimed to have saved to bring us up to equality, or advertise that the claims made were not based upon facts.” Ot course neither Secretary Wil- [ bur nor his naval advisers wished ! to get in bad by proclaiming the in- j creasing comparative weakness of i our navy, particularly during a po i litical campaign when the leading s [ claims of their superiors was that [ I the Washington conference had per- ' ! f ormed wonders. But the law required [ the estimates to be furnished to the ■ i budget committee. The law had to . 1 be obeyed. I It is probable Secretary Wilbur I did not know' his estimates would be published during the campaign, or if published would become an issue or create a campaign sensa tion. But he could not do otherwise than ask for the money to equip the navy so it would be the equal of any other. He was very con servative. If the navy of the United States i« made equal to that of Brit ain’s on the sea and France in the air, we must spend the $220,000,000 the boosters of the Washington con ference say we have saved. Even with the inferiority, the United States is spending today twice as much on its navy as Wilson spent in 1915. The only way to really re duce expenses for navy and army is an international agreement to re mit national differences to an inter national tribunal. The attempt to do so by such half-baked arrangements as were made in Washington will prove ineffective. Wilbur Is Right I wish to take up the cudgels in behalf of Secretary Wilbur if he is in danger of getting in bad for let ting the cat out of the bag. As sec- ’ retary of the navy it was his duty to make estimates to make our navy as good as that of any other navy HEARING RESTORED OFTEN IN 24 HOURS ; Amazing Results Secured in’One Day ■ b.v Use of K-17 Formerly Known As Rattle Snake Oil.
