To bring his meaning closer to earth, he next day let his Secretary of State voice further argument. Statesman Stimson distributed to newsmen a brief, carefully-timed statement which reminded U. S. taxpayers that unless world navies are further restricted, the U. S. in the next 15 years will carry out a naval building and replacement program costing $1,170,000,000.

A somewhat rotund, full-blooded gentleman of 54, with a history-printer's devil to millionaire-statesman-vaguely reminiscent of the first of U. S. ministers to France (Benjamin Franklin), he might feel, if he got the post, that he had earned it.
