Policy

WASHINGTON, July 3 (Reuter). --Colonel Frank Knox, the nominat- ed Secretary of the Navy, laid new emphasis on his advocacy of stronger United States defences.

He thought that there was still danger that the United States might be drawn into war if any aggressors attempted to seize American possessions.

Replying to a question, Col. Knex agreed that he believed that the Versailles Treaty "was a contributing | factor" to the present war.

He predicted that Europe this win-1 ter would be "n nightmare" withį suffering, starvation and economile moladjustment.

RAMSEY, Isle of Man. LANDLADIES ordered by the Government to fill their houses with enemy aliens this year instead of with British holiday- makers tried recently to smuggle Home of their own valuables, in- cluding spoons and table linen, out of their own homes.

Police were keeping watch, ponneed on the landladies, und ordered them to take the things back.

Hotels, boarding houses and private homes on Mooragh Promenade, one! of Ramsey's favourite holiday places, are being taken over.

Government valuers began to make an inventory to-day of the things in the houses,

Some of the hotel and boarding- house keepers were indignant when I spoke to them. Others accepted the situation with a shrug.

Two sections of the order, made, by the Manx Government at War Office request, trouble them most.

(1) "You will leave all furniture, bedding, linen, cutlery, crockery and utensils in the house.

(2) "The question of compensation for disturbance will form the subject of a separate communication al u Inter date."

The owner of the Peveril Hotel put her case to me: "We have fourteen guests at the house. Like us they have only until Saturday to find somewhere else to go. We cannot start another hotel without furniture. even if we could find one.

"We don't know when we shall get compensation. It may not be until after the whe.

What can we do in the meantime?"

She had good bookings for the summer, especially from parties.

The aliens, several thousands of them, will be relieved to know that they are to spend their time in one of the pleasantest and safest places in Britain.
