New Construction Must Include
BattleShipS

viously Il is not question of economy
with these civilian experts. We trust
they are only wrongheaded but we
suspect there is method in their per-
verseness, for not only did they vote
down amendments 70 expedite con-
struction, a proposed time limit for
completing ships, and a council of ma.
tional defence, but they tackled on to
the naval appropriations bill Pacifist
Henley's disarmament dream, which
was absurdly out of place.
Having cut out battleships, the
House committee. dominated by the
little navy" men, reduced the ad-
ministratiOn's program for other ships
as follows: Twenty-Five coast subma-
rines to seventeen: five feet subma-
rines to three; fifteen destroyers to
ten; two gunJoots to none. One scout
cruiser was added to the administra-
tion's total of three, indicating that
the committee, for some reason more
or less insc. atab'e. had crlisers on
the brain. Nav we would not be un-
defstood As tei.ttllng cruisers, the
battle type least OF all. The navy
has no battle cruisers, and the type
is so valuable that the faster work
is rushed in building them the bet
ter. Great Britain has scored hand
somely with swift. big gun cruisers
in the North Sea fights.
By all means new construction
should include at least four battle
cruisers, but let no less than two
dreadnought battlesnips be provided
for. The administrations recommen.
dation of five fleet and twenty-five
coast submarines should be the mini
mum. In voting for new construction
the committee discarded the five year
continuing program of Secretary Dan
iels. Such a plan the general board
has steadily advocated, but as no Con-
gress can make appropriations for
military purposes for more than two
years, the five year proposal, how
ever sound, has not been popular.
| A good deal is to be said at this time
for annual construction on a liberal
scale The need of new ships is
urgent for preparedness. And it would
be wanton neglect of the navy or
class stupidity, or worse, to omit bat
tleships.

on the night of September 80. 1915. those who keep
track Of the Treasury balance went TO bed convinced
that il amounted to S40OOOOOO
on the morning of October is they awoke to dis

In other words. sS7OOOOoO had been added TO the

How had he done il? by a mere trick Of iugglery,
by turn Of the wrist by manipulation OF figures

II is not necessary to accept anyoncs word for
this The daily Treasury statements are public rec
ords and may be obtained by anyone application.
They tell the story-tha u.s. half the story. The real
story was that Mr. McAdoo who had been practcing
for his balancing feat for sometime, had merely added
over 100000 600 already placed the credit OF dis

The facts are that the true general balance on June

thrift and good management to $l4l,O0OO00 that
under Democratic acknowledgement this had shrunk,
by September 30, 1915. TO $SOlS00O; that Mr. Nc

that cunning begotten Of an early training in high
finances he did not hesitate to include i'm the general

L Guilty in his efforts to compel Senators to subord-

dency and TO confirm Louis ID. Brandeis Justice OF
the Supreme Court that he has recently taken occa-
sion to inspire the story that II the Senate rejects

II would be difficult for Mr. Wilson TO find any man
so unfit for the Supreme bench Samuel Unermyer
or any man who Sc appointment, i'm the opinion Of
many persons would suy the ermne Of that high
tribunal.
Even Brandeis is not as unfit Untormyer and
this is doubtless realized by President Wilson, who
hopes by the threat of nominating Untermyer to
drive Senators into a frame Of mind where they will
confirm Erandois merely in desperation and the
lesser Of two evils.
The Senators should remember, however that they
have the right to reject the nomination OF Inter

that fact should be sent TO the White House.

How can the House Committee on
Naval Affairs justify it's vote for a
program of new construction that
calls for five battle cruisers and not
a single battleship when the General
Board OF the Navy recommended four
battlehips and four battle cruisers
and the administration two capital
ships Of each class; and when, more
over, other naval powers place their
dependence upon battleships. as the
list of their vessels building proves
Thus Great Britain, according to
the March-April number OF the United
States Naval Institute Proceedings,
is building seven battleships and no
battle cruiser; Germany, three battle
ships and two battle cruisers; France,
five battleships; Austria, four battle
ships; Italy, four battleships; and
Japan, three battleships. Russia will
complete four battle cruisers this
year, but no information about her
new program is obtainable. 1t is
to be noted, however. that in COM
mission or building Russia had seven
dreadnought battleships at the begin
ming OF the war. Japan completed two
battle cruisers and one battleship last
year. but she is pinning her faith to
battleships. Admiral Kato said in a
recent article in the Japan Magazine
that Japan must have at least twelve
/ battleships of the Fuso class" (tOn-
mage 30,600. main battery twelve IA
inch guns. He added Git is equally
true OF the United States). For a ma
tiOn like Japan the efficiency Of naval
defence is paramount. To abandon
the navy is tantamount to abondonins
the State"
In recommending the laying down
Of four battleships and four battle
cruisers the General Board Of the
navy and in its report dated No.
vember 8. 1915: AS to types OF
ships. the conclusion to be drawn SO
far from the history of the current
war is that the battleship is still the
principal reliance OF navies, as it has
been in the past" But the House
Committee on Naval Affairs in its
superior wisdom knocks out the two
battleships of the administration pro
gram and votes for three more battle

to his love OF his vocation. It was
everything to him that vocation
could be to any man. AS a publisher
and as a citizen Mr.. Hopes was much
interested in everything that pertained
to the welfare OF his community. The
public schools were a special object
Of his concern He was a writer and

In his early days. Mr.. Edgar NJ
Hopes. who has just passed away,
developed a remarkable talent for the
newspaper business and he made it
his life work He had experience in
all branches Of the business. but his
inclinations led him to what is termed
the business end, and he rose rapidly
until he finally became a publisher.
For this calling he was well fttes. for
he had r comprehensive idea of every
department. which is essential for a
successful publisher
Years ago he became connected
with the advertising department OF
this newspaper and when The Morn

ciated with Mr.. Watson r. Sperry, the
principal owner and editor. The two
made an admirable working team. Mr.
Hopes as the head of the business de-

as consequence, they built up a sue
cessful and prosperous newspaper
property. which. under their direction,
was an influential institution OF this
city and one that commanded the con-
idence Of the people.
The relations OF the two continued
for many years. After his retirement
as minister to Persia. Mr.. Sperry dis

publication on the established
lines until several years ago. when the

ernor of New York he did not pay
political debts by filling the public
offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudiate them after
he entered Office. AS Governor, he
did not resort to brave and beautiful
words as "A substitute for firm and con-
sistent deeds. He was careful in his
use of words but he backed his words
with deeds. He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not a
rhetorician, he was not flatterer, he
was not "too proud to fight" for labor
or for capital, for the strong or the
weak, when the right was on their
side.
Mr.. Wilson's spokesmen seek to di-
vert attention from the attacks Mr..
Hughes is making upon the record of
the Administration by asking him
what would you do?" they are un-
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
are recalling to the memory of the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms MS Governor of New
York It was then that he first said
''public office shall not be private
snap under my administration" and
made performance square with prom
ise. There is this about Mr.. Hughes
that makes him so different from Mr..

punches of white chrysauthemums
