and the President asks for practically
unlimited powers-the powers OF the
dictator. The exact language OF the bill
is:
The President is empowered TO make
suCI redistribution Of functions among
executive agencies as he may deem
necessary, Including any functions, du-
ties and powers hitherto by law con-
ferred upon any executive department,
commission, bureau, agency, Office or
officer. Any moneys hereto
fore and hereafter appropriated for the
use Of any executive department, COM
mission, bureau, agency, office or off,
GER shall be available for the purposes
for which it was appointed under the
direction Of such other agency as may
be directed blythe President hereunder
to perform and execute such function.
II Congress could but devise q means
or mechanism by which the President
might delegate some Of the power he
already has. and could persuade him to
adopt the plan, great problem would
be Immediately solved.
We profoundly wish that the Presi-
dent could come TO see that the vital
desire Of the nation does not lie In the
direction Of the extension Of his per
sonal powers. but in summoning to his
aid the ablest business and administra-
tive talent Of the country.
The danger is that his great and in
comparable faculties will be over
whclmed by the progressive multlpli-
cation OF responsibilities which he
seems temperamentally unable TO un-
load upon others.

RED cnnss Class mnnK

VA HEN, many weeks ago, Mrs. Joseph p Wales con-
w ceved the thought Of having Red night classes
in the old City Hail. she probably had idea to what
proportions the war-aid work Of those classes would
grow
Thanks to the ndefatgable efforts Of Mrs Wales her
associates on the committee and the women and girls
who belong TO the classes the result has been marvellous
Most Of the members of the classes are patriotic women
and girls who are housewives wage-earners during
the day hours and who dedicate about half their even
ings to Red Cross work.
The report for January shows that the classes met on
twelve nights, average OF three nights week:
that each person thirty hours Of work: thar O2O
attended the classes and that they made 27oo9
surgical dressings, including many pneumonia jackets
Those figures show that the Wilmington night casses
which conceived and organized by Mrs Wales made
nearly onethrd OF all the surgical DRESSINGS made by all
the Red Cross forces in the State Of Delaware the total
FOR the State being s9666
That is record that should make Mrs Wales and her
competent committee associates and the members of the
nlght classes feel very proud.

Practically, what Is coming out OF
the present economic crisis2 Detailed
predictions are dangerous This much
is certain: 1) Labor Will demand and
get a larger share Of the profits Of in
dustry and t2) IL will demand q voice
in each industry in determining the con-
ditions under which It shall work.

by another and another and still an

sibility for the success Of the Industry

a necessary one.

Soon there will meet in Washington

balances for our industrial peace. There
must be give and take--compromise
Both sides must surrender much that
they value highly. Far-seeing employers
are ready to make sacrifices So. too
are the forward-looking labor leaders.
The interests Of the country demand
that both sides look carefully TO It that

NAL:
Sir.-Kindly print the following. in
answer 20 an editorial in the Every
Evening, short time ago:
10 appears that the continued adj
vancemeni of Major T. w Miller. u. S.
A., formerly First Lieutenant and Ad-
iutant, Second Battalion, First Della
ware Infantry, has been a lOOphOle,
through which some Of his so-called
political enemies have been able to
aim many slaning remarks.
Why any person who is absolutely
unfamiliar with the work an officer
OF the L. s Army has TO do; what he
must accomplish; the responsibilities
he must assume, should even sug-
gest that a person is progressing too
rapidly" is not at all understood The
fact is, they know little or nothing
about il, and can hardly comment upon
any individuals record.
In the FIRST place, Major Miller's pro-
motion is an exceptional one. But is
not Major Miller an exceptional man?
Is 1t at all possible for everyone to be
a member Of the Congress Of the Dni-
ted states? Why not take the stand,
therefore, hat it is possible for the
major TO gain more laurels in another
neld Major Miller enlisted as pri-
vate; was promoted TO frst lieutenant
to a captain and he is now a Major. II
appears thsl he has advanced through
the differen grades and such promo
tlons are only obtained by having the
necessary c apabilities.
The main point thst it is desired to
emphasize. however, is that as Della
wareans, W. .hould congratulate Major
Miller upon his promotions We should
congratulate him, as a Delawarean, for
his manly achievements
