NAVY The President says that any suggestion that, under the lease-len- d bill he might transfer part of our navy to another nation is a Idea meaning, we may suppose, Mother Goose nonsense or a palpable impossibility. the cat and the the cow jumped over the moon. He also says that he never even considered using the navy to convoy American shipments to Britfiddle, ain. great deal of confusion is creeping into this debate. There is nothbill about ing in the "lease-len- d convoying ships. Providing they are not violating the neutrality act and the Presidents own proclamations thereunder, by entering proclaimed war zones, or otherwise, American ships can still sail the sea. If there is danger of illegal interference with them by another nation while they are in pursuit of their lawful business, the President doesnt need any additional authority to protect them with naval convoys. Therefore the convoy argument Is not properly In the debate on the lease-len- d A bill. But this business is something else again. There is no authentic record of any cow jumping over any moon, but there is a very recent and rather startling record of a President transferring a very substantial part of our navy, to wit, 50 destroyers, to a belligerent nation. It was done without any specific authority. There is also a considerable record of diddling public opinion just before election or during the debate on hotly contested legislation by promises that were quickly forgotten for example, the 1932 promise not to violate the gold covenants in our bonds and money. That was the highest diddle-diddl- e in all our economic history. But there was no remedy. All that happened was that the little dog laughed to see such sport and the dish ran away with the spoon. If there is no intention to transfer any part of our sorely needai armament, why is it necessary to grant unlimited authority to do so? With a little paraphrasing and transposition, which does no violence to its intent, the 1776 bill authorizes the President "to sell, transfer, lease, lend or otherwise dispose of . . . any weapon, munition, aircraft, vessel or boat , . . any component material . . . any other commodity or article for defense.

It has appeared on the front cover of the Scout Handbook for many years. of 1910 the late William D. Boyce, a Chicago publisher, was In London on a business trip. One evening when he became hopelessly lost in a heavy fog, a boy appeared out of the night and offered to guide him. Mr. Boyce handed the youth a tip, but he refused it, saying he was a Boy Scout and part of his duty was to be helpful. The result was the founding of an organization in America that has attracted more than 8,700,000 persons during the last 31 years. Taft Honorary President. President William Taft accepted the office of honorary president proffered him immediately upon the organizations incorporating, and since that time each succeeding President has held that office. Great progress was made in 1911 to put the organization on a sound basis. The national council was established and the first annual meeting was" held at the White House. The first edition of the Handbook was published and the Scout oath, law, badge and fundamental policies were adopted. Before the end of the year the membership grew to include 61,500 Scouts and organizers. The Scout movement was expanded to include members in every state during 1912. Sea Scouting was launched and Boys Life was purchased to become the official magazine. During the spring of 1913 the Scouts gave their first assistance in a major disaster when spring floods inundated parts of Ohio and Indiana. After the end of the World war in 1918, the Scouts rendered first-ai- d service throughout the country in the influenza epidemic. That year Rotary clubs started the present d by business mens clubs and other institutions in sponsoring troops. n Members. Membership in the Boy Scouts of n America passed the mark in 1920.

Today, with the largest membership in its history, the Boy Scouts of America are ready for any demands that may be made of them in the present world crisis.

They cite especially the Japanese effort to reduce the Woosung forts protecting Shanghai in 1932, when the aim of Japans big naval guns was so poor that for a while American photographers stood on top of the fortifications taking pictures of the bombardment. The other school of thought is composed of older officers who are specialists in naval tactics. They have figured out the time necessary to move the fleet from Hawaii, to establish a large enough garrison to protect the Philippines, and to prepare for meeting the Japanese fleet in its own waters. To do all this they want at least a year.

Because it was done smoothly and efficiently, few persons were even conscious of the nation-wid- e roll call and inventory taken in every one of the 40,000 Scout units throughout the nation.
