FOUNDCHEAPER TO RUN NAVY IN PACIFIC WATERS Deadly Destroyers Kept Up at Less Cost on U. S. West Coast. WASHINGTON. March IT.—lt Is cheaper to maintain a destroyer In the Pacific than In the Atlantic, according to the latest figures from the Bureau of Engineering. Navy Department, made public recently. The average cost to maintain i®Wull commission a destroyer in the Atlantic fleet is $28,000 annually, while In the Pacific the cost is .$17,000. In the Asiatic regions it costs all of $31,000, the figures state. However, the cost on the European station Is only $12,000, so that the tables balance fairly well. A number of destroyers are now maintained with greatly reduced complements, thus effecting a saving. Thsl is possible, as a destroyer with 50 per cent complement costs $17,000 in the Atlantic and SII,OOO in the Pacific. These little boats are still classed among the deadliest weapons afloat, and lr. the Pacific partlcu.arly they are constantly striving to keep at the highest possible state of efficiency. This same applies, of course, to all units wherever they may be stationed, but handicaps vary with the locality. Recently while departing for the drill grounds on the Pacific Coast the destroyer squadrons got under way In periods varying from six to fifteen minutes, setting several records. The work of these little speed crafts, in the words of a former destroyer officer, is to “attack the enemy ships with their torpedoes, his submarines with their depth charges, his light surface craft and airplanes with their guns, and defend their own ships with their smoke.” Salesman Killed at Rail Crossing Special to The Times.

March 17.—A fight to establish the right of State to supreme authority over ail commerce within their own borders was opened in the Senate when Senator Ladd, Republican, of North Dakota, introduced a bill known as the State's rights commerce act.

true enough picture of the situation, and why ? Because, not only for the last two years, but for the past four years, the real slogan of the Republican party—the object to which it has devoted all its efforts is—‘Discredit Woodrow Wilson.’ ” Discussing the results of this policy, the ex-Governor declared that the present business depression was directly traceablt to it; that with the Government floundering helplessly about in the consideration of economic questions, capital had no guide as to what to expect. “If the United States had gone Into the League of Nations which a Republican Senate prevented, business would have adjusted Itself on that basis and would by this time have been proceeding normally, and not only business In this country, but business in a large part of Europe, where revival of prosperity has been prevented by uncertainty as to the position of the one great creditor nation of the earth.” But, by “playing politics,” Mr. Ralston said, the Republican party has prevented the payment of Interest on the foreign debt and made it more difficult for owing nations to pay the principal. PROPOSE ALLIANCE AS LEAGCE SUBSTITUTE. * Asa substitute for the League of Nations, Mr. Ralston declared the Republicans had proposed an alliance with j three other world powers to control the Pacific and Asiatic countries “at which ! even Republican Senators balk.” “This alleged association of nations, embracing, but a small number of na- ; tlous compared with those of the earth, proposes to control conditions in half of | the world.

to them the wisdom of their forming a counter alliance?” Asserting that this four-power pact was conceived to avoid entering the League of Nations and the Harding Administration had refused to participate in the Genoa conference to avoid recognition of the league, Mr. Ralston declared that Mr. Harding's party had let no opportunity pass to belittle the former President, but had frequently found itself compelled to Indo se the policies of Woodrow W'lson. This, he said, had been done in reference to the treaty with Panama for the payment of $25,000,000 for the Canal Zone; In regard to the recognition of the defacto government of Mexico; the occupation of Haiti and San Domingo by the marines, and finally In regard to abrogation of commercial treaties with “most favored nation” clauses in which both President Wilson and President Harding had refused to act on the demand of Congress.

There are just oodles of things you want to wash during spring housecleaning. The blankets do look a sight and all of those beautiful colors in the washable rugs are hardly recognizable and the curtains and draperies have certainly collected their share of “real estate.” All of these are difficult to handle because they require unusually careful treatment — and to send them out would be an expensive proposition.

could not otherwise have commanded, Mr. Ralston pointed out that as the war went on the Nation became the money center of the world and when the war closed there was more money on deposit in the banks and trust companies than at any time In their history. “With this most unusual financial condition, business should have seen no cloud In the sky. But unfortunately, before the world could be put on a reconstructed basis, our Government was turned over to another political party—a party that failed to catch the significance of the situation. During much of the time the war was going on it was engaged in fault finding and failed to look the world full In the face.

In production, chaos In the world would be the Inevitable. “This party failed to understand that If we Ignored the needs of Europe and lost her as a customer, we would bring disaster upon ourselves, and this is just what has happened. “This country cannot consume all the products of our mills, factories and farms, and when there Is no demand for the surplus of our farmers and laborers, what is consumed at home often sells below cost. •‘What our farmers need today, as docs American labor, is foreign markets. But Europe is so prostrated that she cannot trade with us. Our first and Imperative duty, therefore, as 1 see It Is to endeavor to help European countries, Including Germany, to their feet.
