LISTEN TO GEORGE WASHINGTON
(By Dr. Frank Crane.)

In a letter in which George Washing ton was inviting his friend Colonel Hum phreys to spend the winter of l787 with him in Mount Vernon, enclosing a copy of the proposed Constitution of the United States, he said: 'The Constitution that is submitted Is not free from imperfectiOns; but there are as few radical defects in it as could well be expected considering the heterogeneous mass of which the Conven- tion was composed and the diversity of in terests which were to be rcconciled. A Constitutional door being opened, for flu ture alterations and amendments, I think it would be wise in the People to adopt what is offered to them, and I wish it may be by as great majority of them as in the body that decided on 1t.
 Read these words of George Washing ton over carefully. Substitute the Treaty of Peace, including the League of Nations, now under discussion, for the Constitution, the adoption of which was then under dis cussion, and you will see at once the com mon sense solution of the whole matter
 There may be a difference of opinion about the League, but the people of the United States almost unanimously want done, and done right away.
 Two plans have been proposed. First, to ratify the treaty, but to accompany this act by reservations. The objection to this is that it amounts to saying, ''Ill pay, but I think you charge too much" It is merely a protest.
 Second, amend the Treaty. This would send it back to the Peace Conference, and open up the whole question again. It would invite and authorize every other nation, INCLUDING GERMANY, to make new conditions. It would indefinitely post pone peace. It would work infinite mis- chief. It would keep business unsettled and keep Central Europe in turmoil. It is the worst conceivable thing to do.
 The third plan may be called GEORGE $ PLAN, for it is precise ly what he advised as to the ratification of the Constitution.
 For it recognizes that the quarreling partisans seem to forget, that the Treaty and the League PROVIDE FOR THEIR OWN AMENDMENT
 Judge W. H. Wadhams, of the Court of General Sessions of New York, has writ ten to Senator Calder advocating this plan, and to him I am indebted for calling my attention to George Washington's idea.
 It is not bad idea, this: When in doubt, follow George Washington.

 WITH INEFFICIENCY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-P)-Dur- Ing the consideration of the Cum mins' railroad bill this afternoon by the senate, Senator Frank B. Kellog, republican of Minnesota, charged the national railway administration with enormous extravaganza in handling the railroads during the period of government control. He said that much of the deficit piled up during that period was directly caused by the inefficiency of the governments management. Mir Kellog heartily endorsed the anti-strike provisions of the bill.

Secretary Daniels and Aids
to Work Out Problem
by July l.
TO DROP 10000 OFFICERS

Ways and means for getting the
Navy and Marine Corps strength
down to a peace-time basis have
been the subject of several con-
ferences between Secretary Daniels
and his bureau chiefs during the past
few days.
The problem is regarded as one of
the knottest postwar puzzles now
confronting the department, and al
though great progress has been made
In demobilizing the Navy proper
since the armistice was signed,
men still must be released before
normal strength Is reached. 1t is
believed by officers concerned, how
ever. that at the present rate of de-
mobilization the numerical strength
Of the Navy will be we'll below the
S5o.o0o mark set by the Secretary at
the end Of the fiscal year. July 1.

245.000. The figure set for tho re-
duced strength of the Navy in the
Senate naval deficiency bill Of the
last Congress was 100000 and In the
House bill the number was placed
at 226. 900. Based on a total strength
Of 100000 men, naval officials are
confronted with the necessity for re-
ducing the officer personnel from
more than 10000 now on duty to less
than 10000 by July 1.
The question of adjusting the rank
OF officers Of the Regular Navy on
the basis Of the peace time strength
is another puzzle. To meet the rapid
increase of the naval establishment
during the war practically all of the
regular officers were temporarily
promoted one or more grades. Get
ting the Navy back to a peace-time
basis means the majority of these
officers must be returned to their
former rank.
