USELESS WASTE OF FUNDS

In the North American Review former Secretary OF the Navy Meyer
shows how the interests of the navy have been sacrificed for years II
politics att the demand OF certain members Of congress. Up to June 81
1910, the total cost OF navy yards a $3ooOO0ON. Between 1895 and
1910 S108576o3 was expended at the Portsmouth navy yard, although
there wa a large navy yard only seventy miles away. At Charleston, 3
G., $5000O0O wa squandered for improvements, in iuding a dry dock
for battleshps which experience proves an be used only by gunboats
and destroyers, although the Norfolk navy yard, where the batteshp
feet regularly assemblies, wa not far away. In II case northern sena-
tor, in the other a southern senator. dictated to congress this waste OF
funds from personal and political motives
The Mare Island navy yard at Vallejo. which should have been aban-
doned, because unsuited to the requirements OF modern battleships, was
under the special protection OF a California senator on the naval COM
mttee. The New Orleans yard, which is 100 miles up the river and has
a floating dock of no service to dreadnoughts, cost 100000 for need
less improvements because a Louisiana member of the house committee
was in a position TO enforce his claims. At Pensacola $12NO0O0 has
been expended with little return for the output"
Politics and 1og-roling account for this yearly waste of government
funds at the expense OF the navy and the fleet OF lighting ships is made
to suffer. Expert advice and the promptings of common ense are dis
regarded in order that ward politicians in positions OF influence shall be
satisfied.
But instead OF cutting out this waste. the house strikes at the sub

BEING A NEUTRAL

No neutral yer yet met the expectations OF both parties t o a quarrel
or a var. To satisfy II is almost certain proof that the other will be
dissatisfied. To dEappoint both is a perfect triumph OF neutrality.
The press of Germany is very bitter in its denunGation of the United
States for its alleged pardaTty to Great Britain and France. On the
other hand, Americans just from London and Paris report great irrta-
ing Germany.
While this is n excellent record 50 far as neutrality goes there is
one aspect OF the case which all the beigerents should notice. We
have'fed the Be1sians for months The Belgian army is fighting with
the British and French, but the Belgian nation is mostly in the possession
OF Germany.
In this unexampled charity we help the Allies by succoring millions
Of their wn people who are practically prs ncrs OF val, and we hip
Germany, which is responsible for them, by taking a very costly job off
its hands. Expressions of gratitude thus lar. however have been wholly
confined to Belgium. Being a neutral especially a decent kindly and
helpful neutral seems to be poorly rewarded nowadays.

PRESS HARD HIT

Owing to decreased advertising revenue arising nut of the a
212 German newspapers are already said to have disappeared. At least
half that number have probably died in Great Britain" says the London
Globe
These facts supply the strongest imaginable comment on the COM
fanacy that this war is profitable to the newspaper owners. AS
a matter Of fact the reverse is the case. a modern newspaper is an X
ceedngy complex organization, and the purchaser obtains for a penny
or hal-penny a publication which costs more than that IL Ito produce.
The explanation is to be found in the profits derived from advertising
revenue, with the result that when that decreases below a certain point
a paper is u a a loss on production which increases oil the increase
OF circulation.
so far from the British press having found the war a gold nine
there is OF n newspaper that has OF felt the pinch somewhere, and.
many are making the greatest financial sacrifices in order to continue il
their role OF purveyors of news, and thus to perform a real public ser
vice. Few industries are more hard hit 10y a long a than the press"
