that they have been acquired, it is «vr*aui
that they will be colunised aeaviiy i«y the

ami Saipan, VJ1 miles, all to the north and

Of mtieh more concern as a menace to
A merit in trade routes is the island of
lap. of which move baa be & board than
of any otb-r of the islands that became
■I laiiese. Vh is the chief Island of the
Pelews. and lies 158 milea southwest of
Guam and within striking distuin-e of thv
route to Manila by way of the San Bar
nardino Straits, a cours • that naturally
would be chosen in the event of hostilities,
because Japan with her I ases at Yokohama
and Nagasaki, controls the approach 'o
Manila trom the north, and also holds
Formosa. Yap has a good harbor, and.
while Japan has said she lias 110 intention
of fortifying it, this remains to be seen.
Just as the r turn of Shantung is a mere
matter of promise. Possessing, as it does,
ground suitable for an aviation field, it
could !>•■» made the base of reconnaissance
squadrons. The harbor could bold a con-
sill Table number of destroyers and swift
commerce raiding craft.
liven if further works were established
at Guam, these would be at the mercy «.t
air raiders, who could com., over from \ 11»
in a few hours, drop their bombs and re
turn a half day before airun n from Ma in 1 i
could arrive on the scene. An aviation
field on Guam is considered necessary and
will be urged upon Congress.
Japan (.els .Marshall Group, Too.
I'ut a still greater menace to the Am r
ican possessions In the Orient, and to Hi
wail, and even to the United States, if U». r
fleets wore contained, is the award to
Japan of th • Marshall Islands. These li<4
to the southeast of Guam anil to the south
west of Hawaii. They are chiefly of atoll
formation and one of them contains a la
goon large enough for rlie accommodation
of a considerable number of warships,
while there is ample ground for the » rec
tion of repair shops and establishment "f
an aviation field, two very important items
in the event of fleet operations or com-
merce raiding.
A hostile naval force lying in wait In
the Marshall Islands would be on the flank
of merchant or supply ships crossing tin-
Pacific to the succor of the Philippines,
or a menace to the Pacific fleet goinir to
the aid of the Atlantic fleet The fie t
could not proceed from Honolulu until any
possible force in the Marshall Inlands had
been hunted down and destroyed or con-
tained, for otherwise the hostil force could
cut American communications between
Honolulu and Guam.
In the 20 years the Americans have been
in possession of Guam, but little has been
done in th" way of the development of a
naval base here, of course, the chief rea-
son is that until the last few years there
lias been no thought that we ever would
be embroil d with a power In the Pacific.
The navy has asked for little for Guam
but has "received even less. Practically no
garrison is maintained here. The only <•*
tablishinent is that necessary to the naval
gov rnrnent. A bntti'l'oii of marines l
guard for the cable station and the radio
station and a hospital detachment are the
largest forces There are no ships as-
signed to Guam except a counle of tugs
and a small vessel that on emergency could
be used as a mine planter
Navy Must Import Food.
* The garrison, small as it Is. could be
compelled to surrender hv a blockade ex-
tending over a couple of months, for the
navy is cotnp lied to import not only the
food for the American forces there, but
also for the inlanders, since thov do not
grow enough for their own necessities. One
of the problems for th«» naval government
is to ducate the natives to the importance
of agriculture and th- creation of gran
aries here which would guarantee at least
s:\; months' supplies. There are some
1 r. or a inhabitants of the island, of whom
s -.00 live >11 A fraud the eanital. Save for
thos« in the capital th y live in th- most
primitive fasb'on. They will not dwell on
their farms, but insist on liv'ng in th*.
eitv or in the hamlets which dot the island,
which i« 30 mlb'S in extreme lentrth and
lias a width varying from four and a half
to e'ght miles. The area Is 225 square
miles.

general funds of the county, llis amend-
ment to replace ouly that part of the
bean bill which provides tor existing
emergency.
Speaking in support of the amendment.
Representative Johnson pointed out that
the bill would not allow men who had
not paid their pail taxes bet ore February,
lS'-'O, to take advantage ol the ie-v law
and Insisted this would not be a di>criin-
luatioa, because they hail beeu given a
legal opportunity to qualify, whereas

Curtis and lLildwiu offered a substi-
tute providing for .'iling of n.'idavits Py
all ol he rwiM qualified voters who have
not paid their poll taxes or received ex-
emption ccrtitieates. It allowed men who
did not pa> Iheir poll taxes to vole l»y
complying with the act and also allowed
women who paid poll taxes under tin
primary suffrage act to vote oil these rc
ceipts.
Representative Curtis, in supporting this
substitute. held that the Nineteenth
Amendment wiped out the section in the
State Constitution dealing with qualifi-
cations of voters and that that section
ceased to apply to Texas voters as soon
as the amcndiiK nt was ratified, lie, there
fore, concluded that to allow women privi

Nineteenth Amendment.

HOUSTON SCORES HARDING
FOR FINANCIAL CRITICISM
'Continued Krom Tune One.

' held less than IW-IO.OOO.OOO of nppproxi-

ton asserted.
"The Republican party has seemed to
endorso these proposals in every respect
save one. namely, the plea for im,. dlate
action; that, for example, recognised the
Importance and feasibility of many of the
tax revisions to the extent of adopting
them In almost the same words, though
without giving credit, in its National plat
form."
Mr. Houston said statements by Senator
Harding that the pt.bl ■ debt Is increas-
ing wer-> "peculiarly lacking in frankness."
He said the Senator apparently bas» i his
assertions on the picture of operation of
the Treasury for a period of two months.
Senator Harding also was accused of "in-
