EngIand's Opposite Course.

REOfeSC Is now TAlSeu against dTIlcie
252 iof the navy regulations, It. is
stated BY those informed on the sub
lject that Great Britain tnakes a spe-
scial effort to- have her naval officers
express opinions on points 81 vital
interest to the navy. That is the op-
posite course to ours.
In recent years considerable guam
tity Of official red tape has been reeled
up and thrown overheard at Washing
ton. The general intention seems to be
to make each governmental depart
ment as businesslike as possible, hold
ing fast to that which Is good. but TAX
ing that which is not good by the nape
Of the neck and chucking 1t into outer
darkness. OF course 1t is quite possible
to go too fast and too far In this, but
with the general public discussion
which follows or accompanies every
reform to serve as balance wheel
the chances are that no irretrievable
mistakes will be made. Now that the
president and influential membees of
congress on both sides OF the partisan
fence have expressed their determine
ton to reorganize the navy 1t Is to be
hoped that the paddock will be. taken
of the mouths Of those on the inside.
But even IL 1t be true, as charged
that our battleships are more Hinnns-
ing than formidable the charge
remains to be proyed-.the American
manhood aboard them stacks up quite
fayorably with the human element in
any other navy, and Mr.. Reuterdahps
plain language is not likely to invite
an attack from foreign power.

Public Protests Barred.

1t Is quite well understood that In
the naval bureaus, as elsewhere in the
service, there are officers who private
~ deplore the methods pursued In
building and equipping vessels Of war.
But these men have padlocks on their
mouths when anybody NJ in hearing.
They are not permitted to express an
opinion which possibly might reflect
upon the wisdom OF some one higher
up, no matter how sure they may be-

of their own ground. The bureau sys.
TEN has been the growth of years. 1t
is machine, an automaton, working
along the lines of least resistance. and
the belts which control it's wheels are
made of red tape.
Article 252 Of the navy regulations
Is the paddock. Under this regulation
any officer of the navy or any, en-
ployee Of the navy department. Is for
hidden to make public any opinion or
expression concerning any policy or
person in the navy or In the depart
ment. Under the working OF this reg
ulation let as suppose that certain
officer knows absolutely that the con-
struction Of ship is faulty, that the
pattern Is archaic, that the craft will
be as perilous to its own crew as to
an enemy. He must keep his opinions
on the subject padlocked. He must
make no public protest. That Is the
situation in the American navy and
navy department today. a
How does it happen? Red tape.
During the early days Of the civil
war Secretary Gideon Welles of the
navy department the benevolent look

history books, promulgated the order

that no man should command q ship
who lacks knowledge of navigation.
Back of this is the old fight of the line
versus the staff. Line officers are will
ing to take pills from staff officers pro-
vided the latter be competent physi-
clans. but they dislike to take orders
from doctors. They have been educat-
ed to believe that a ships captain
should be able to navigate ship.
Fine Fuss Stirred Up.
The incident of Admiral Brownson's
resignation has stirred up fine fuss in
the administration department of the
navy. Outsiders are taking hand In
the discussion, and congress probably
will devote more or less time to con-
alteration Of the navy's needs.
The country at large has discovered
that the navy Is run by q bunch Of bu-
reaus with headquarters at Washing
ton, with frequent clandestine quar-
rels between the bureaus. Now de-
mand arises that bureaucracy be elimi-
mated for the good Of the navy.
The most surprising feature Of the
present controversy is one that has no
direct connections with the protest OF
Admiral Brownson. It Is an article In
the current issue Of leading maya
zine by Henry Reuterdahl, associate
Of the United States naval institute.

some of the other systems just put in
