Arouses Curiosity Inquiries from all over the country are reaching senators and officials asking private advice as to what is on the horizon to have caused President Roosevelt to make his sudden appeal for prompt start on the construction of two battleships. The general impression on the part of the inquirers seems to be that there have been events in the international situation which caused this sudden move. It may be authoritatively stated that thle is not the case. No one in administration circles pretends that everything in the international situation is rosy. Quite the contrary. But the international picture had nothing to do with the President's haste to get battleship construction started. In fact it is admitted by high officials that if the foreign situation were such that the President thought the United States were likely to be forced into a war within, say, a year, the procedure would be entirely different. The President would then, it is pointed out, be insisting on a very different type of spending for the Intervening period. He would want the money spent on types of weapons which could be completed before the war was over. It just so happens that, no matter how much the work is hurried, building a battleship is a very slow proceeding. It cannot be cut much tinder three years. To complete a ship in two years would really be an accomplishment. And this would mean from the time the keel was laid. Back In the World war days the was construction of battleships stopped so that the . skilled labor employed on them could be utilized . j The real reason for the President's haste on battleship construction is not preparedness but economics. He wants to get men working on this job as speedily as possible in the mines, the steel mills, the factories and the shipyards. Literally it is part of the plan. This does not mean that the building of battleships is a species of made work. On the contrary, the President's feeling is that the need for the additional ships is very vital indeed. But not for the immediate future. The answer to all this is Japan. The majority opinion among naval and military experts studying the situation, and advising the President, is that Japan has no intention of provoking a war with the United States in the immediate future. But the same experts believe that Ja pan is counting on a war with this country eventually, maybe five years from now, maybe ten. The theory behind these fine new battleships is that each one con- structed tends to make that war less likely. The experts in question note with extraordinary interest the com- ment in Japan on the construction1 of these ships. Japanese newspa- pers which usually print just what the high army and navy officers of that country want the people to know are rather bitter about these battleships which congress has been authorizing and appropriating for in the last few months. When it is considered that these ships will not be completed for from three to five years, at the earliest, this resentment is very interesting. j j mniniier institution.

The Florida primary would seem to indicate a loss of more than 30 per cent. Another, and entirely different, problem is presented by the fact that Senator Feppor, in his campaign, laid a great deal of emphasis on old age pensions. It wis this campaign by Pepper which led Sen. Arthur H. Vanden-berof Michigan, to comment that President Roosevelt and Dr. Town-senwould have to roll dice to see who was really the victor in f Florida. Now the question is whether Florida is merely like California, in that a tremendous number of o'd people have moved there to avoid the more rigorous winters of their native states, or whether this sentiment of the old for security and of the young to be relieved of their obligations to their own old folks is merely typical of all states. In short: Was Dr. Townsend right in his assumption that there is so much sentiment for his plan that if put to any real test it would sweep the country? It is almost impossible, at the moment, for Washington politician to do anything but guess at the But this much is certain. The fact that Pepper was so extraordinarily successful will not pass unnoticed. Plenty of senators and representatives who have been worried about their chances for coming back are going to take a chance that the old age pension sentiment is very general indeed.

" Minerals for Hens . balloon-bustin- g The lime needed by laying hens is cheaply and satisfactorily supplied in crushed oyster shells. A lime- stone grit may also be used 'as a source of this element. Milk and the meat scrap, customarily made part of the poultry rations, add oth-- i er minerals and the addition of iron, sulphur, iodine, etc., as separate in-- ! gredients, lacks demonstration of its necessity, if nothing more. While minerals are essential elements of a poultry ration, they are found in the grains and supplements com-- j monly fed, as they are also in the grains and roughage of dairy feeds. 135 South Many experiments have teen conducted throughout the world to determine the availability of calcium and phosphorus in different forms. Results show that sterilized bone meal is as available as other chemical forms that are soluble in water.

One of them Is accentuated, curiously enough, by none other than Chairman James A. Farley, of the Democratic national committee, in a statement rushed cut even before all the returns were in to claim a sweeping victory for the New Deal. Said Chairman Farley: "The signal victory of Sen. Claude Pepper of Florida, a staunch New Deal advocate, over Rep. J. Mark Wilcox, campaigning for the senate issue of opseat on the straight-ou- t position to the New Deal," etc. Now the interesting point raised by Chairman Farley, inadvertently, revolves around his own denunciation of Wilcox. For it would seem to be a logical deduction that every voter who marked his ballot for Dealer. Wilcox, is an Viewed as a contest between two party factions, or between two can didates, Pepper s victory was overwhelming. He had a lead of more than two to one over Wilcox. But if viewed that the men and women who voted for Wilcox were Deal, then it would appear of the Democrats in that Florida are against the present Democratic administration in Wash- But Male l ! I .

FAMOUS Concession by even Washington. the most optimistic Republicans that the Democrats will control the next house of representatives by a wide margin makes the menace of the Progressive party much more bearable to Democratic than might otherwise be the case. For the house of representatives, to be elected this fall, will elect the next President in December, 1940 IF a third party should prevent any Presidential candidate from getting a clean majority of the electoral votes. Since the recent consensus of political experts was taken by Newsweek, the writer has checked carefully with some of the more optimistic Republicans to discover where they expect their gains in the house. The point is that a President is elected by the house, under the Constitution, when no candidate has an electoral college majority by states, not by individual members. The majority of each state delegation determines how their state will vote in electing a President under such circumstances. There are 15 states about which there is no doubt whatever. Many of them will have solid Democratic delegations in the next house. Since no political landslide is seen now even by the most optimistic of the Republicans there seems to be no chance that the Democrats will not have a majority in every one of these delegations. These states are the group from Maryland to Texas, and include: Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Maryland. Ten more states would be needed, as the Constitution requires a majority of all the states to elect a President in this manner. Which, as the present number of states is 48, would mean a total of 25. No Hope for G. O. P. Examining the Republican hope chests, it is interesting to note that there are more than ten additional states to those already named, in which there is no hope of the Republicans capturing a majority of the congressional delegations. New York, surprisingly enough, has not had a Republican majority in her house delegation since the 1920 election, despite the fact that she rolled up an enormous majority for Coolidge in 1924, and went for Hoover by a small majority in 1928. Indiana has now only one Republican member of the house. A gain of two, or at most, three seats there is all that the Republicans hope for. Illinois is also apt to continue Democratic in her house delegation. So are Colorado, California, Oregon and Washington. Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico have only one representative each, but that representative is just as Important when the house is electing a President as New York or Not even the most Pennsylvania. optimistic Republican consulted by the writer since the Newsweek poll has any hope of electing a Republican congressman from any of these three little states. And that makes the ten, which, added to the Southern states enumerated, totals twenty-five- . But there are any number of possibilities to make up for any unexpected local upset.
