Our Two-Ocean Fleet

The sailing Of Admiral Rodman's
feet from Hampton Roads marks the
last stage in the accomplishment CT .
new American naval policy. heretofore,
speaking broadly, the United States has
been q one-ocean power. It's navy has
had but single sphere Of operations.
Our strength afioat has been concen-
trated in Atlantic and West Indian
waters Now it is TO be distributed equal
~ between the Atlantic and the Pacific.
The Pacific has always been 4 sub
sidiary field The reasons for THIS are
many and obvious. Our shipyarls,
docks and repair and building plants
on the Atlantic side. The Pacific Coast
could not construct many big ships or
maintain them. And the long voyage
around South America handicapped
frequent shifting5 Of strength from one
ocean front TO the other.
Moreover, until the United States ac-
qured Hawaii and the Philippines, it's
military interests in the Pacific were
limited.
Dewey's victory in Manila Bay changed
the situation. Since then the Pacific has
become an American sphere of operation
as truly as the Atlantic or the Carib
bean The Panama Canal was built as
& military rather than commercial en-
tcrprise The memorable run Of the
Oregon from California to Santiago de
Cuba in 1898 visualized to the American
public as nothing else has done the mill
tary necessity Of short cut between the
two oceans.
To connect and equalize our two fronts
the transisthmian waterway has been
constructed. Its strategic mission is now
to be fulfilled by the passage through it
Of Admiral Rodnaan's six super-dread-
noughts and thirty destroyers. Our two
coasts are at last closely connected and
the balance between their needs is being
struck which Dewey's operation at
Cavite foreshadowed.
The increase In the strength of the
Pacific fleet (now to be real feet) will
require continuance Of our present
programme of naval construction. We
shall need more ships after we have gone
on the basis of a two-ocean power. On
that basis the United States could not
possibly be charged in the near future
by a league of nations investigating
committee with naval overarmament.

lions Operating costs are high. The
railways find it impossible to borrow
money for improvements on their I'M
supported credit, and it is an open ques-
ton Of how far rates can be raised
without checking income by encountering
the law that traffic dies when asked to
carry burden greater than it can bear.
The savings due to borrowing on gov
eminent account and to eliminations of
duplicated service have been disappoint-
ing, and SO far no clear word has been
spoken either by Congress or the Execu-
tive Department. The latter seeks to
scuttle, and Congress is full of con-
Trajectory voices.
But certain principles may be deemed
to be confirmed, and their application, it
would seem, must be included in any
sound settlement. One is that few are
willing to remain in losing business,
and that in the end the public gets only
such service as it pays for. Some think
they can repeal this law, but they can't;
and expenses, plus a fair return on the
property devoted to public use, must be
provided or the quality Of the service
will further fall off. Another unescap-.
able fact is that there is no profit TO
the public in preventing ecoliomizing ar
rangements and agreements. Still an
other, and perhaps the most important
of all, is that private management to
be of full use must be stimulated by the
hope of keeping at least some of the
money that it saves or makes.
The railways must become free if they
are to produce the fruits of freedom.
Ultimate control must doubtless con-
tinuc with the government, but in de-
tail there must be private control and
an unloosening of the restrictions which
prevent railways from developing eff
cheney among their employees.
Government operation is huge
failure, but involved in the wreck Is
almost the whole of a railway policy
pursued for twenty years. A bare re-
turn to private management, if. the pri-
vate management is denied liberty of
action, will not solve the problem. 1t is
impossible to make bricks without straw.
In full breadth and depth there must be
understanding of what is implied by the
fact that now 80 per cent of railway in
come goes into operating costs, whereas
formerly 70 per cent so went.

That One More Dig

The best commentary Is to be found in
the words Of the editorial itself-and this to
rebuke the teachers for an opportunity
wasted! "Most Greek and Latin teachers are
so hard pressed banging decIensions and the
daily stint of De Bello Calico into unwill-
ing brains that they have scant time for any
such roadside flowers English deriva-
tons" AS think Of my own teachers there
rises before my minds eye a succession Of
gentle, pale-faced women and stoop-shoul-
dered men whom I regarded with an indif-
ference closely bordering on contempt. But I
cannot caQ to mind one of them who, did 1
show the slightest spark Of interest (intell-
gent or otherwise), would not supply me
with all the chronological data possible. And
was the fault theirs if this instruction was
not made integral part Of the class work?
In the catalogue they werc listed as in
structors in classics. AS such they were ex-
pected to include mental discipline (and we
were conscientious directors to this), teach
spelling, prepare US to be proficient in
modern languages, give us the literary his
torical background Of whatever work we
happened to be translnting (sort of "the
glory that was Greece and the grandeur
that was Rome"), and Of course, if we could
not tell the visiting clergyman what lucus a
non lucendo meant the teacher got the blame.
They used to it now and one moro dig
can make little difference. Yet why should
the editorial writer shift at last from the
classics to "the way they have been
taught? Do the facts prove too much?
