Secretary Daniels said today Admiral
Fletcher would direct the investigation
into the causes Of the break-downs of
the submarines.
The Secretary was asked whether he
felt there was anything savoring OF
graft with respect to the acceptance OF
submarines from contractors. He de.
MED he believed that there was. any
thing Of this sort.
He did say. however, that the policy
of the Navy department for some

The American dollar rules the
financial world-not through the
wisdom of the Democratic law
makers, but through the folly of
those EuroL can rulers who pre-
cipitated the most ruinous war
in the worlds history. Our own
economic system is just as weak
at the foundation today as it was
in July, 1914, when the balance
of trade was running higher and
higher against us. We have been
saved from disaster, not by our
own action but by the extreme
necessities of our unfortunate
cousins across the Atlantic. Fool.
ish, foolish, indeed, the man who
deludes himself with the idea
that such an economic structure
can endure beyond the day wher
its foundation falls.

go President Wilson was declar-

platform on which Wilson was e.
lected was silent on prepared

was drawn by men who had both
the knowledge to understand ma.

quate navy for the national de-
fense and we condemn the action
of the Democratic House of Rep
resentatives in refusing to auth
orize the construction of battle
ships" On August. 16. 1915,
when he began planning for ma
tional defense, President Wilson
paid a magnificent tribute to the
wisdom, foresight and courage
of the men who wrote the Repub.
lican platform in June, 1912.

Prudent persons who are look
ing to the ultimate consequences
of the Wilson policy in Mexico
are wondering whether the six
Latin American countries row
involved in the business will be
willing to quit. The plain Eng
lish of the matter is that Mr.,
Wilson has asked some of the
South American republics to in
terfere in the matters of North
America. Before the Wilson era
they had never thought it any
province of theirs to interfere
north of the lsthmus. The South
American republics have been
organized into a combination bv
President Wilson to interfere in
matters affecting our boundaries.
The idea apparently is that the
United States shall not protect
its citizens. or their property, or
even national honor unless we
have the advice and consent of
six foreign governments. Some
day-not so far distant, either
we shall have an administration
at Washington which will not
hold to this idea. Then what?
Shall we then be confronted by
the hostile array of the Latin.
American states whom Wilson
has taken into partnership?

Congressional Blunders.

Congressional Blunders.
The Democratic Congress is re-
sponsible for a heavy loss, both
of money and efficiency, in the
work of the Office of Public Roads.
Three important phases Of good
road development practically h; d
to be abandoned fer a year be-
cause the Democrats failed to
pass, before the clo2e OF the f.
cal year of 1918, the Agricultural
appropriation bill, which provides
money for good roads.
The first loss fell upon the eX-
perimental road work. A pol
tion of each years. appropriation
is devoted to experimental road
building in and near Washington !,
in order to make scientific tes is
and discover improved method s
in road construction. The Off
cials could not carry out these
tests properly. The delay in Sc
curing their appropriations caus-
ed an estimated loss Of about one
tenth of the fund, with an even
greater loss in efficiency because
many of the experiments could
not be made at all.
The second loss occurred be-
cause officials were unable to con,
tract for new work until the mo-
ney was actually appropriated.
1t is a maxim in good road build,
ing that all work undertaken
must be completed in the same
summer. Congress failed to ap-
propriate the money until nearly
the middle of August. Before
bids could be secured and con-
tracts let, fall was approaching
and the roads would not be COM
pleted. Machinery either had to
be moved to warmer localities or
remain idle, all of which entered
into the amount of the bids. The
new roads cost more and their
construction was delayed for an
entire season.
The third loss occurred in con-
nection with furnishing govern
ment road engineers to local com
munities to give advice in local
road building. Scores of these
experts were in Washington at
the time. ready to start for local
points as soon as Congress passed
the bill. There was nothing they
could do there, and no money to
send them to the field.
When the appropriation bill
was finally passed, it was too late
for many of them to report to the
local communities to which they
had been assigned. Their eff
