Not often, even in a courtroom, is such a sensational statement heard as that made by A. M. Johnson, K.C.. on Tuesday in the hear is the United States. Japan. Prance and Italy is 18 while 12 others are projected. In capital ships the Empire has a numerical margin of two over the United Btirtes. though this Is rather discounted by the superior tonnage and lster design of many of the American units. The Empire has also a definite superiority In alreraftcarrlers. But In destroyers and submarines Britain la far below a one-Power standard, and In spite of the current building program ber relative strength In both types of craft continues to decline. A very formidable mass of submarine tonnage la now afoat and on the stocks. The six leading powers have already built or laid down 383 sub- ing of the Sankey application for a new trial.

NEITHER MODEST NOR BEAUTIFUL An echo of the beauty contest discussions is heard from Australia. In North America the season is soon to be inaugurated anew. Except for a few hardy musical comedy girls who pose for the tabloids and Sunday rotogravure sections apparently enjoying a romp .In the snow In their bathing suits;, the beauties have beeq Jn hibernation for some months. And so long as they remain in comparative retirement argument about' the ethics, taste and morality of such contests will languish,, but when they come out again in the spring, conferences on their" manners and characters will begin again. The unseasonable protest from Australia was provoked by the world-tour of "Miss Australia." One conscientious objector denied she was truly representative of the girls of her country, for they are "distinguished by modesty and dignity." The mania for competitions of this sort has grown rapidly. It is world-wide and includes all sorts of absurd rivalries. Winners are thrust into the limelight for no sound reason, and do not stand up well under the publicity they receive. But It is just as absurd to think that the standards of girls who do not enter such public competitions will be lowered or at least confused by the attention which the competitors receive. The public is not fooled and the girl who "doesn't belong" is seldom if ever lured into them. mm FLOUR $K(foswnlWlMleIt?rWll Mlt. HOWO LKTTKK Prince Rupert. Gentlemen: Having noticed In the Dally News Waterfront Whins, that a small build ing that was being put up at Cow Bay, was stopped by reasons of there not ! being a permit. I. have only to state that not having a permit was not any fault of mine as I was up to the ones of the city engineer before I started to build and too kplans and specifications; out was iota mat I mould have to have a special kind ot, roof marked by the Fire Underwriters of B.C. before I could obuin the permit. I left theer and went to my office snd got a copy of the building bylaws, got a carpenter to make out a rough sketch ot plsn. also a specification to cover the by-law, took the plan up to the city office, bad the engineer go over It. and he said It Hannah, I have lived in good old Prince Rupert for eighteen vean. and have always tried to mmd my own business and obey all the laws and never shirk my obligations as a citizen but as the pile are In. too small, I will bow to the law and see that in future the city shall have 1U t. In Now. If the city engineer Is so careful about thow things, why does he sllow so many dilapidated buildings to remain upl There have been several built latety. one close to the bridge, opposite the government warehouse that was r modelled and enlarged and whMti dees not come up to the law Now to put mself right. Isabould like to state that I applied to the ON.R for the lease, lly application,1 waa granted and leas made out o; J am not t res pasting on rjroyertr I Have no, pint to. Gentlemen.' jru want to take into consideration that these buildings that are being built at Cow Bay are not of a permanent riature as all the time we get on them U' a thirty day rental The consequence la tttat It wouldn't pay to build a tlrat-elaos building aa. In the future, no dvubt. the place will be cleaned out and a different class of buildings erected. When that time cornea. I wU .be , pleased to nut up a ftrst-olasa building. In the meantime. I would like to have the same rights and consideration aa the people who have built and are bunding in that part of the city. I am Yours respeetfulty. C O. ROWE.
