Q'rom Dallas News)
fthe Republicans, pigeonhole the
presidents shipping board appoint
ments they will do no moro than
the Democrats have done when they
have had the opportunity, and no
more than they would do again in
like circumstances. The excuse usu-
ally given FOR this procedure can be
peaed with more than ordinary
plausibiity in the present instance.
In making up its judgment of the
Harding administration four years
hence, the country will be influ-
enced very sensibly by the results Of
its efforts tn preserve and make use
OF the merchant marine which was
created during the war. 1t is fitting
that bearing that responsibility the
that big and difficult job should be
made up of men of Mr.. Harding's Sc
lection rather than of men of Mr..
Wilson'S selection. Also it is desir-
able from the standpoint Of the
country. since Mr.. Hardng's admin
board Of its composition should fail
TO fill the measure of the country's de-
mand. There is another reason that
would excuse The refusal of the Re-
publicans to confirm the appoint
ments of Mr.. Wilson in the fact that
he has been highly unfortunate in
his choice of men for this important
service This fact is made conspicuous
by the investigation that is now go
ing on Of the shipping boards opera
tions.
The instances of graft which this
investigation has disclosed are not
many nor of great magnitude. They
are Of the petty kind such as it fell
TO the chance Of obscure men in
subordinate positions to be guilty
of. Against the men high in execu
tive authority there has been no inn
putation of any kind, and the only
fault justly chargeable to them is
that of not having systematized the
operations OF the board in a way
which would have minimiZed the
opportunities for grating. And TO
mitigate even this charge against
them, there is a good deal Of excuse
in the great haste which the war
imposed on all that they did. But
If the investigation has revealed but
few and small instances Of grating
it has revealed numerous and aston
ishng instances Of incompetence and
negligence. There has been great
profligacy. in the use of the hun
dreds Of millions of dollars put at
the disposal of the shipping fleet cor
poration and blunders for which
there can be no adequate excuse. 1t
is true that these are not chargeable
to the men whom the president has
just appointed; it would be prac-
tically a new shipping board IL his
appointments should be confirmed.
But the fact that the president has
made such unhappy selections in the
past can be made TO argue with

PERIL IN ENGLAND

Thoughtful pedestrians who walk

owners.
"Bu. Mr. Jap has not come

Of his mission. Taking advantage
Of our domestic troubles and pre-
vailing high wages, he is quietly
capturing our trade. His plans

offer here at half price. Mac
clesfield colors and patterns are
sent as quickly as possible to
Japan, and silk is returned to
our markets, so cleverly that only
expert buyers can tell the diff
ference.
THE public is, of course, indif-
ferent. japanese silks are every

field is in danger Of extinction.
Americans have banned the goods,
so we are getting them. Nor is
competition possible, for the cute

no bad intentions need necessarily
be attributed TO them.
Another question of course is
how the army would behave if it
were subjected TO too hard
test, for instance if communist
revolution and bloody opposition
should split the country. What
then would happen is impossible
10 foresee. Anyhow, General Won
Seeckt's object, 10 make out of
the army a blindfoldedly obeyine
mechanism, will be difficult To
carry through entirely, since off
Ger and soldier have no more
relations TO one another than
before the war, and since the
Kapp affair this relation has
taken far and greater tension.
There may be some regiments
like that of Berlin that seem TO be
entirely devoted to their leaders,
but in general suspicion has in
creased among the men, and
among the sub-officers especial
ly it is said to be clearly OBJ
served. Even monarchist officers
state there can be no question of
bringing the emperor back to
Potsdam and that they are con-
tent with keeping public order
with their soldiers. Politics reigns

make believe the old army was
non-political this is stupid lie.
They were the sharp sword OF
a minority that cut off the arms
Of liberal development that
would have saved us. The pres
ent state and the parties that form
ii have every cause to pay atten-
ton TO the political constitution
Of the Reichswehr. The officers
belong once and for always to a
party of the past. Is it permis-
sible that this party should have
competence 10 select also the sub
officers and men just as they
like? This is the clear aim of the
new army law under considera-
ton and the Kreuzzeitung (reac-
tionary) in its editorial supports
this aim. holding that it must be
possible TO get rid Of unsuitable
clements effectively and what
should be especially important,
with dispatch"
Paragraph 33 of the present
draft of the new army law allow
ed no voting to the members of
the military forces and goes so
far as TO forbid them any poll
tical action. Furthermore they
may not--and this is cardinal
point-belong TO any non-politlcal
association without consent of
their superior officers, nor form
associations AMONG themselves.
1t is, of course. a matter of dis
cipline, that within the corps po-
litical combats have to cease, es-
pecially considering the bitter
ness of the present controversy.
But it is quite another thing and
critical thing TO forbid the sol
diers any non-political meetings.
Il is no use trying TO justify this
point; the military dignitarles
who have drafted the law speak
only Of discipline, but their aim
is-there is no doubt whatever
To cut the throat of some certain
associations, to which many sub
officers belong. If the soldiers
dared not to take any notice
about the world outside. this
possibly might be very welcome
TO the theory Of discipline; but
so long as the parliamentary re-
public remains so heavily in dan
ger from right and from left, so
long as the officers OF the only
power that can defeat the con-
stitution are selected from a party
that opposes the constitution. It
