Our Nays Future.
One Duty of Officers Is to Choose
Ships of the Right Kind.

To THE New York HERALD: There
seems to be in the press of the day a
kind OF tacit tendency to discredit the
partment regarding .he types of ships
best adapted for our needs. with the ap-
parent object OF inducing Congress to
annul the present large naval appropria-
tons or TO divert them TO experimental
inventions.
At a time like this it is n most dam
gerous procedure. Here we are chal-
longing the supremacy of England's mer-
chant marine on the one hand and the
supremacy OF Japan's dominion over
Asia on the other. and yet we decline
to recognize the absolute necessity of our
being the supreme navai Power on both
oceans.
JOAN Adams once wrote ''The trident
of Neptune ls the sceptrc o. dominion, A"
but instead OF boldly grasping it like the
viiile nation that we ARE We are shout
ing for world disarmament like a China
man. \ powerful navy need he no threat
to anybody that is willing to recognize
our rights. and from an economical point
Of view we should remember that so per
cent of the cost of n navy is labor. and
the material being of the best will scrap
for nearly its original value
Now who are these constituted author
tiles of the Navy Department? They are
all graduates of our Naval Academy,
which foreigners think is the best in the
world, and where the combing out Is
more thorough than in any college in the
land. You will find at the Navy De-
partment graduates OF all ages from
twenty TO sixty-four. and they are all
consulted
They have there for their guidance
the record of every invention in naval
warfare that ever was made. and during
the late war a special board OF retired
officers Of all ages was detailed TO assist
and they reviewed tens of thousands Of
inventions from all over the United
States. Every inventor in the country
had his opportunity.
But with all this talent in the Navy
Department no one has n chance TO de-
fend himself or his ideas IL they arc at
tackled In the public press by some in
ventor who is going to revolutionze
naval warfare and render the $40 00O.-
600 battleship obsolete by an invention
which costs ten cents postage paid. His
lips are scaled There may be evils
arising from officers writing too much,
but | think they are far outwelghcd by
the advantages to the public in being
able to read both sides of every question
1t is particularly important now. when
the great war has left us on the edge
Of great possibilities in submarines. tor
pedoes and airplanes, and yet nowhere
near the abandonment OF the great bat
tleship. f. NJ. BARBER,

The Power to Tax Exports.

One Of the best known provisions
Of the Constitution is the inhibition
as to commerce contained in the ninth
section Of Article T.:
mo tax or duty shall be laid on
articles exported from any State"
The inhibition d upon Congress,
and its force is not weakened by the
apparent contradiction contained in a
subsequent clause. wherein the Consti-
tuition provides that mo State shall
rjthoW the consent Of the Congress.
lay any imposts or duties on imports
or exports" If this stood alone the
implication would be i'm favor of the
power of n State to lay duty on
exports lf Congress concurred and
consented. The curious difference be-
tween these two clauses affords one of
The few illustrations Of discrepancy
in the immortal instrument.
When we consider what the power
TO tax exports will mean in the COM
ing struggle 10 maintain the principle
of equal opportunities for trade and
commerce-to keep open the door in
Mesopotamia. for one example-the
Importance Of the question Of con
stitutional amendment in this par
ticular becomes obvious.
The Sixteenth Amendment permit
ting Federal tax on incomes has
changed the whole revenue system Of
the United States. 1t was very sim
pie amendment, and yet between tho
date of the passage by Congress Of
the resolution submitting II, July 81,
1909, and the date Of Its promulga-
ton by the Secretary of State, after
sufficient number of States had rati-
fed tho amendment. that Is. on Febru-
airy -, 1918. forty-three months
elapsed
Another simple amendment, the
Seventeenth, establishing the election
of United States Senators by popular
vote. required only little more than
q twelvcmonth between proposal and
pronunciation.
" The constitutional power to tax
exports is to be needed weapon
in the world economic situation which
modern conditions are now develop
Ing The process cannot begin too soon.
