is a machine, an automaton, working
along the lines OF least resistance, and
the belts which control its 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 us suppose that a certain
officer knows absolutely that the con-
struction Of ship is faulty, that the
pattern is archaic, that the craft Will
be as perlous to it's 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.
How does it happen? Red tape.

Public Protests Barred.

1t Is quite well understood that IN
the naval bureaus, us elsewhere in the
service. there are officers who private
ly deplore the methods pursued In
building and equipping vessels of war.
But these men have padlocks on their
mouths when anybody is 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
totally unfit to cope with the battle
ships Of other nations. Mr.. Reuterdahl
also severely arraigns the bureau sys-
TEN. which he holds responsible for
these alleged mistakes in construction,
and earnestly recommends an advisory
board. Says Mr.. Reuterdahl:

After considering the field OF legiti-

not include the domain Of manufac-

banking Mr. Crowell said:
"The encroachment Of the specula-
tive spirit upon these Industrial and
commercial fields spells danger. The
leaders of great enterprises today
probably do not adequately appreciate
the smoldering fury Of the discomfort
which their own management Of busi-
ness has steadily engendered in the
hearts of thinking populace.

greed has done more than anything
else to bring to crisis in American So

Enq|and's Opposite Course.

Protest Is now raised against article
252 of the navy regulations. 1t Is
stated by those informed on the sub
ject that Great Britain makes a spe-
cial effort to have her naval officers
express opinions on points OF vital
interest to the navy. That Is the OPP
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 it 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 a balance wheel
the chances are that no irretrievable
mistakes will be made. Now that the
president and influential membess OF
congress on both sides of the partisan
fence have expressed their determine
tlon to reorganize the navy it is to be
hoped that the paddock will be taken
off the mouths OF those on the inside.
But even IL 1t be true, as charged.
that our battleships are more impos-
Ing than formidabe-and the charge
remains to be proved-the American
manhood aboard them stacks up quite
favorably with the human element In
any other navy. and Mr.. Reuterdahl's
plain language Is not likely to invite
an attack from foreign power.

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-
sideration Of the navy's needs.
The country at large has discovered
that the navy is run by 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 connection with the protest OF
Admiral Brownson. 1t is an article III
