It reads: "Do you favc - only a navy for adequate defense against invasion ?" He does not set forth what he considers to be adequate defense, an explanation which is essential if the question is to be voted upon intelligently. Doubtless the crafty Mr. Gray has anticipated that the majority of votes on this question will be "yes." thus permitting him to assert that his constituency supports him In the naval policy he has championed, a policy he declares to be adequate for national defense but one the president and the navy department has branded unsafe for the American people to depend upon.

misleading. He Inquires, "Do you favor a large standing army" without explaining whether he considers 100.000 or 1.000.000 men a "large" standing army. His other questions are: Other Questions Listed. "Do you favor removing the Influence of profits In war and preparations for war by the manufacture of all war supplies by the government Instead of by private corporations?" "Do you favor compulsory military training?" "Do you favor military training In schools?" "Do you favor the government purchase of ships to promote foreign commerce and particularly to carry our South American trade?" "Do you favor a tariff commission to advise with congress relative to the levy of tariff taxes?" Invites No Comments. Mr. Gray does not invite comments on the questions he has propounded his constituents. He asks each question to be answered either yes or no. In part his letter reads: "I have again been elected a member of the naval affairs committee before which there is pending, among other important matters' the proposed

increase of the navy. The 'general board.' composed of naval officers. Is recommending a large increase of taxation to build a navy for world power and control of the seas. This is a fundamental question Involving our traditional policy of an army and navy for defense, and the people who must pay the costs and do the fighting are entitled to be heard in fixing the amount of increased taxes to be collected from them and in determining where and under what policy they are to serve as soldiers and sailors. "These with other questions involving great policies of International character as well as domestic concern are pending before congress for consideration and final determination, and to be properly advised and assured of the will of the people of my district. I most earnestly ask that you now favor me with your views relative to such matters first and immediately to be taken up." UMBS BECAME Broke Out in Small Pimples. Itching So Severe Could Not Sleep.
