Fighting Windmills
Our statesmen at Washington
have been spending a vast deal
of nervous energy in showing, or
attempting ti show, how the
consequences which would fol-
low the adoption of the Knox
resolution would differ from the
consequences which would fol-
low the adoption of the Porter
resolution. The polemic may
>y have been interesting to them, It
i?s lev be doubted if it has been
either that or illuminating to or-
dinary wayfaring citizens. It is
not that he lacks the mental
acuteness needed to follow the
debate, but that he feels it to be
a sinful waste of time and effort
tq concern himself with a ques-
tion the true answer to which,
even if found, would render him
no material service. The one
judgment he has probably come
to is that while the adoption of
one is less fraught with the pos-
sibilities of damage than the
other, neither is capable of yield-
ing any benefit that can reward
the labor of adopting it. And he
will find nothing in it the debate
to disturb that shrewd judgment-

Washington Letter.
(By J. J. Maasfield)
My letter of two waeks ago
dealt with the subject of the
Steel Trust. I then told how
press dispatches were frequent-
ly manipulated by that concern*
in order to scare the public and
force- Congress to carry out a
great? program of naval construc-
tion.' We have had another illus-
tration’ of this fact since the

ed the two battleships being built
in Japan, as the greatest terrors
the world had ever known. They
were represented as being abso-
lutely impervious to attack from
the air; 7,000 tons larger than any
similar American ship;, capable
of crossing the Pacific three
times without refueling; and for.
gun power, speed, and radius,
they had no equals in the world.
The dispatch then further says:
Unless Congress votes to con-
tinue the 1915 naval program to
its fullest extent America will
!bave nothing with which to com-
bat these giants.”
The two battleships referred
to as being built in Japan are
the Kaga and Tosa, authorized in
1918. While Japan has two such
vessels under construction, the
United States has ten. Japan’s
two battleships were authorized
in 1918, our ten battleships were
authorized in 1916—two years
before Japan commenced build-
ing hers, Japan’s vessels are
first-class in every particular,
but our naval experts claim that
they are in no sense of the word
superior to ours, This is just
simply another instance of a
gross misrepresentation of facts
by the Steel trust to carry out
its designs.

WHY IS IT ?
Why.is it that many prospective builders
will not take advantage of reduced prices of
lumber to build and make improvements?
Yet when prices begin to increase they
will go ahead with their plans and pay a
greater price. The general public always
buys on a rising market. Today lumber
prices are lower by comparison than any
standard commodity. Judged by produc*
tion cost they are lower than for years.
We desire to furnish building materials to
the best advantage to our customers and to
that end we advise you to build now.

relief come and in what shape?

—The Lone Star Cotton Mills,

shirts. The mills will specialize
in the manufacture of chambray.
