NO CUTS EXPECTED
IN NAVY YARD HERE

No reductions are expected in the
force of the Washington Navy Yard.
despite lack of appropriations for
naval vessels after July !.
The Washington yard is largely
an ordnance shop, it was pointed
out at the Navy Department. and
will not be affected by reductions
in work on vessels. The House Ma
val Affairs Committee recently
slashed the estimates of the depart
ment.
; The order for the dismissal of 200
foremen at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard, it was said by F. S. Curtis,
chief clerk of the Navy Department,
was caused by the fact that dis
missals in the supervising force
have not kept pace with dfsmissals
of mechanics.

In the Linelight
BY George Perry Morris.

Bishop Charles f. Woodcock. of
Louisville, KY, must be credited
with publicity IL not paternity for
the saying that an optimist today is
''the man who carries a corkscrew."
Kentucky's traditions and customs
make anything coming from such a
source authoritative. For as John
Marshall, the Virginia jurist, said:
In the Blue Grass Region.
A paradox was born;
The corn was full of. kernels
And the colonies full of corn.
1t Is interesting to learn that the
father of Alan Seeger, with roy
alties received from his sons poems,
made the first payment-so, 900
francs-toward the endowment of a
permanent American public library
in Paris; and he intends to continue
to so use this income as IL comes in
from year to year. There Is a noble
sentiment in the plan which needs
no expounding here. IL Is so obvious.
Not unlike 1t Is the invariable set

Palmer, of Harvard University. of all

years.

nois and Joined the stan of its school
of journalism. Manila and the far
flung insular domain of the nation
will thus have what many States
of the Union know nothing about
and what others. knowing, affect to
despise. Nevertheless. the course OF
prepared journalism takes its way
across the Pacific to Asia, while the
rim of ancient commonwealths along
the Atlantic coast rest individualist-

be sure, but is it not fine, after
hearing an unceasing and never

their prosaic realism and scientific

If, as is being suggested; Mr.

visions for it's replacement and
has not yet been satisfactorily de-
termined by either theoretic econo-
mics. legislation. or courts.
In competitive industry the pro-
cesses of business determine this
matter every day. and owners will
only claim such determination by
the state when the competitive tide
is against them.
Points Out Danger i'm Plan.
I'VE have long since recognized
the rights of the state to determine
maximum profits in case of monop-
oily. but the determination of min

minimum as well as maNimum) may
deliver large burdens to the people.
Moreover, i doubt whether labor
will ultimately welcome such deter
mination, for an unsuccessful plant,
instead of abandoning its production
to it's competitors, will claim wage
reductions from the courts, and the
general level of wages can thus be
driven down, and the state, at least
morally, becomes guarantor of
profits in overdeveloped industry.
This plan in the long run substi-
tutes government control of indus
try for competition.
"As to whether such acts will not
tend to crush out initiative, credit
and curtail the proper development
of industry, can only be determined
with time.
81 am sure you would. upon con-
sideration, view the entry of the
a. lA L,
into the determination of fair wage
and fair profit in industry, even IL
it could be accomplished without
force, with great apprehension.
There are some things worse in the
development of democracy than
strikes and lockouts, and whether
by legislative repression we do not
set up economic and social reper-
cussions of worse character is by
no means determined. They have
also the deficiency in that they un-
dermine the real development of
self government in industry and
that, to me. is part of the growth
of democracy itself. Courts and
litigation are necessary to the
preservation of life and properly.

Problem Affects the World,
I. The whole world Is cropping for
solution to this problem. II we can
not solve 1t progressively, our
civilization will go back to chaos.
We cannot stand still with the eco
nomic and social forces that sur
round us. There has never been a
complete panacea for all human re-
lationships SO far In this world.
The best we can do is to take short
steps forward, to align each step
