Council of Defense.

Representative HobSonS Dill establish
ing q council of national Defense.
which was introduced before the holiday
recess and referred to the House Naval
Committee, has received the influential
Endorsement Of the heads of the War
and Navy Departments. This body OF
experts and advisers is to be composed
of various representatives of the govern
ment, headed by the Secretary of War.
and including a representation OF the
House and Senate, with high ranking
officers Of the army and navy. The idea
has been incorporated in report made
by the General Staff of the War Depart
mcnt. in response to the war resolution
of Representative McLachlan. Of Cali
fornia. The reply to that resolution has
been suppressed, as document which
was calculated to stampede Congress
into a veritable excess of appropriations
for providing defense against an invad-
ing foe. Mr.. Hobson appears to have
missed connection with his associates
and to have introduced the bill providing
for this council of national defense be-
fore the departmental reply to the House
resolution was sent to the Capitol. 1t
becomes a matter which must receive
committee attention, and now that the
Secretary Of War and the Secretary Of
the Navy have stamped the measure with
their approval, there is no reason why
the House Naval Committee should not
comply with Mr.. Hobson's request and
dispose of the proposition on its merits.
1t is somewhat unfortunate that the
comments of the War and Navy Depart
mcnts on the project do not go more
into detail As to the necessity for the
council. The Secretary of War has SIM
ply remarked that it would be a useful
has somewhat more generously. as to
words, commended the scheme. The
committee is evidently left to its own
devices. with such aid as Mr.. Hobson
favorable committee report on the meas
ure. There is much to be said in favor
o: this council of national defense. If it
will accomplish what is claimed Nor il.
that is, create and maintain def
mite policy regarding the defense Of the
country, it should receive Congressional
sanction. At present there is nothing
more apparent to the most casual OBJ
server than that there exists no such
thing as a military-naval policy. One
need go no further back into the records
of Congressional committee proceedings
than tine present Congress to realize that
the succession of advice coming from
army and navy officers as a guide to
Congress in making provision for ma
tional defense is as varied as there arc
individuals. One year Congress is told
that it must at all hazards and at what
ever expense provide for certain indis-
pcnsabl articles Of warfare; the next
year. perhaps. some other officer-or.
ma ybc, the same officer-appears with an
altogether different proposition. This
sort of thing is vexatious and cannot fail
to be bewilderins to those who have the
responsibility of making appropriations
for the army and navy.
If the remedy for this sort OF conflict
ing and extravagant legislation can be
furnished by council of national de-

Why Schemers Use the Mails.

From the Christian Herald
The Postmaster General is quoted as
saying that within few years more than
$4,000 900 has been taken fraudulently
from the people through the machinery
of the post-office, and the spread Of the
rural free delivery system. This is an
enormous amount, but the authorities
declare that It is far below the actual
sum and possibly represents less than
one-half of the total amount lost-lost
through the rascality of the few and
the blind credulity Of the many.
The whole nation would rise in indig-
nant protest if our postal authorities at
tempted to emulate those of Russia by
reading the private correspondence of our
citizens. The schemers know this, and
take advantage Of 1t. This done, the rest
is easy.
