Hold Wilson RESPONSIBLE.

Secretary Meyer and other friends OF
the navy are deeply concerned over the
triumph of the little navy-ites' in the
House. and they are disposed TO hold
President-elect Wilson largely response

advocates of an adequate navy. 1t Is
pointed out that Mr.. Wilson's letter adj
dressed To Representative fitzgerald. the
receipt of which was announced eXclu-
sively in The Tribune. was responsible Tor
the loss Of many votes which had been
counted Oh for two battleships. Ihe
President-elect carefully refrained from
treading on the toes of his party col
leagues by warning them against the
recklessly extravagant public building
bill. but instead. merely inveighed against
a large aggregate of appropriations. with
the result that those who were deter
mined 10 preserve the pork bari intact
decided that to do that and 10 retain the
favor of the future President the navy
must be made 10 suffer.
Secretary Meyer pointed out to-day the
serious disadvantage under which all the
federal departments labor. but especially
the nav. because Cabinet oincers nave
not the privilege Of going on the moor vi
Congress and there answering the rama
cies proposed by opponents Of good ana
wise government. and which the majority
is all too often too unintellieent or 10"
sndolent to apprehend. The Secretary %
The Navy declared that some # the ar

twaddle and could have been effectively

night. The agricultural appropriation bill.
carrying more than sl3COo.ooo. was put
through earlier i'm the day.
The economists failed To achieve any
retrenchment In expenditures. Democrats
confined their efforts to trying To elm
mate an item providing for 10000 for the
Canadian Boundary Waterways Commits

treaty with Great Britain. Their chief
complaint was that IT provided places for

Sir Edward Grey's reply TO the answer
OF Secretary Knox TO the British Panama
protest has been received at the British
Embassy. In fact it-arrived there more
than a week ago. but with instructions
not 10 present ii 10 the Department Of
State until released by the Foreign Office.
Meanwhile. the reply has been taken up
in the British Cabinet. and according TO
the understanding in Washington. fs be-
ing subjected 10 some revision by the
Ca bipet members. The changes are TO De
communicated TO the Embassy in Wash
ington by cable. The Ambassador Is
anxious 10 secure permission 10 present
the reply before the expiration of this
administration as he fears that failure to
do might seem like an appeal TO the
succeeding administration and might be
construed as slight TO Secretary Knox.
IL is explained, however. that, az with all
matters taken up with a body like the
Cabinet. delay is unavoidable. and even
II the answer is not submitted TO Mr..
Knox ii will constitute no indication OF a
purpose To slight that official.
Those who have seen the reply are at
a loss 10 understand why IL Shouiu IT,
quire long time TO go over il. unless
the Cabinet is impressed with the fact
that the reply is weak. No effort IL
made by Sir Edward Grey 10 argue in
detail the contentious of Secretary Knox.
The one contention which is emphasized
Is that IL is unreasonable 10 ask Great
Britain 10 defer her protest until some
actual injury has been experienced. and
that in this respect the presentation Of
the British protest at this time i wholly
warranted Following this argument
there is reiterated the demand that the
entire subject be referred 10 arbitration.
Whether il Will be possible for Mr.. Bryce
10 submit this answer TO Secretary kn ~
no one in Washington is in position
TO foresee. That rests wholly with the
Foreign once. and while the Ambassa-
dor has suggested the advisability Of per
hitting him 70 do so. nothing has been
received which would indicate at what
moment the reply may be released. How
ever. there is an expectancy. possibly
founded on he hope that the release will
come at any moment.
