counts, returned to France at the out

obtained two promotions. The news

To Act To-day on Exempt

and Reserve Board
President Is Criticised
Only Recently Has He Seen
Fit to Appoint Big Men,
Says Townsend

WASHINGTON, April 26.-With the
adoption to-day of a provision for CEN
tralized reorganization of the aircraft
programme The Senate cleared the way
for decisive action tomorrow on the
Overman bill. with its broad authority
for the President to co0ordinatc gov
ernment agencies during the war.
In a brief session, adjourned for
Senators to march in the Liberty Loan
parade, the Senate wrote into the bill
unanimously the proposal of Senator
Wadsworth authorizing the President
to delegate to single executive
agency or officer all power and appro-
priations for aircraft production.
tacit agreement was made to vote
to morrow on decisive amendments
proposing to exempt the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the Federal
Reserve Board and other independent
bureaus. Senator Ovcrman, of North
CAROLINA, and leaders of the opposition,
both still confident Of the result, said a
vote tomorrow on these amendments
ard also probably on final passage of
the bill was probable.
Aviation Fund Spent
The Senate formally adopted the
Wadsworth amendment by unanimous
viva vocc vote after. Senator's Gall
niger, of New Hampshire, and Smoot,
of Utah, had called attention to off
cial statements that the S640, 900, 900
appropriated for the aviation pro-
gramme had been spent and $400,00O,-
600 additional was asked.
Besides authorizing the President to
confer control of the entire aircraft
programme IN one executive officer
probably John d. Ryan--thc amend
ment would transfer to the officer all
appropriations made for the aviation
work.
Resumng general debate on the bill,
Senator Townsend, of Michigan, Rcpub-
lican, pointed out that the Prcsi dent
las never lacked 4Dpwer to remove in
officials, "but has not seen
fit to do So" Not until recently, said
Mr.. Townsend, has the President seen
fit to appoint "really big men,"
Gle has not coordinatcd the depart
ments," said the Michigan member.
Something ought to be done to induce
nim to act. and it is claimed this bill

last does not fully supersede or re-
place the provisions Of the others.
There is a lack OF clear reconciliation
OF these measures now constituting
the revenue law.
The claim for the merit Of the
measure is that 1t simplifies the law,
making it understandable to the av-
eraec citizen" and removes injustice
and determinations" which the Law
now contains. It will also increase tho
revenue while reducing the personal
income tax. We should say that IS
some merit The great urge Of the
measure is that it should be pressed
through before March so as to shape
the law for its application to the first
year in which it was to be In prac-
teal effect. II this could be done It
might be an advantage. but the COM
mittees and houses Of Congress are
not addicted to that kind Of prompt
action and the law seems likely to be
nut to a practical test in its present
shape. The only thing you can get
the Democratic party TO recede from
is its party platform. At'least that Is
its record so far.

A MATTER OF JUSTICE

\ significant interview Was given
out in Pittsburgh the other day by a
large steel manufacturer Of England.
with regard to the services the women
Of his country are rendering TO the
war industries. and which applies with
like force to the patriatic spirit evinced
by American women in our own en-
rremity. This English manufacturer
had this 20 say Of the British maids
and matrons:
The monster munition plants OF
Sheffield have 5000 women and girls
doing all that class Of work formerly
done BY men. and these women have
done this work so wcll-in most cases
in q superior manner TO the men
that they have established their places
in the industries of England. They
have come to stay, TO take their places
alongside of the men Of England. and
the men OF England now declare that
the women have earned Suffrage ny
their splendid behavior in this war
Every day the demand OF the
apeeded industries OF the United States
on the women of the land is increaS-
ing. 1t is so in other businesses allied
to war work, or whore the short labor
supply is due TO war. II the men OF
England have come TO lay aside their
prejudices and have recognized that
the women have earned suffrage by
their splendid behavior In this war,
is it possible that their American
brothers will perrersely withhold a
like recognition of the eminent serF'
ices and sacrifices American woman
hood have rendered? We do not be-
iieye it. 1t is not a question of mere
callantrv, but a thoughtful dispensa-
ton of simple justice. That's all.

THE ONLY ASSURANCE

The superior excellence or all
American manufactures is not mere
boast: it is generally conceded the
world over, and in nothing do we eS-
eel with such marked distinctness as
cutlery. Cheaper stuff comes to this
country. but it cannot compare to our
make. which moves the editor OF the
American Cutler to urge upon retail
dealers the policy of acquainting their
customers with the distinctive merit
and quality of the various makes OF
pocket and table cutlery that are at
the front Of the trade. With regaru
TO the future OF the industry, he al
fects TO see no need of apprehension
far its stability. For ALREADY, ne
saws I'VE see initial movements TO-
wards radical revision of tariffs that
will afford ample protection TO our
makers after the war, and the admins
tration that came into power IN 1915
bringing with it radical program OF
free trade policy, is awakening IN a
hurry to the serious need OF full ana
nnsurmountable protection to home
industries"
There is no greater monument to the
fostering and promotive character OF
the protective tariff than the firm es-
adjustment of the cutlery industry
among the standard domestic manu-
features. The initial movements the
editor of the American Cutler speaks
of towards a radical revision OF the
tariff come almost wholly from the Re-
publican defenders Of protection. we
cannot expect anything in this line
from the free trade Democracy. AS
the continued stability and success OF
the cutlery industry can only be as
sured by fair and adequate protection
against the cheap labor production OF
foreigners. it is plain that result can
