The Service Pay Bill.

Yesterday the Senate passed the bill,
pending for some time, providing for
increases in the basic pay of commits
stoned and enlisted personnel of the
Army, Navy, Marine Corps, coast
guards and public health service. 1t
now goes to the House for considera-
tion. Under its terms the base pay Of
officers of these services is increased
10 per cent and of enlisted men and
members of the female nurse corps 90
per cent. In terms of ration and COM
allowances the actual increase
in the pay of officers is computed at
about 81 per cent.
This bill is one of the most urgent
pieces of legislation now before Con-
gress Its passage is required to pre-
vent continued and increasing de-
moralizatiOn in the ranks Of the fed
eral military services. Officers are un-
able to maintain themselves at the
rates of pay now prevailing. Their
expenses have increased in common
with those of all other people. Yet
they are getting no more than before
the rise in prices. They have gone
into debt to meet their absolute ne
cessities, trusting to the government
Evening star., 1920-02-04

to come to their rescue in terms of bet
ter pay. Their uniforms and equip
ment cost them heavily, in the cases of
junior officers far beyond their means.
This increase proposed in the Senate
bill will barely permit them to break
even. If it is not granted they must
resign from the Army and Navy and
the other branches of the service.
The enlisted men are not attracted
to the federal services by the rates of
pay now prevailing. Once in, of course,
they must stay, but they do not re-
enlist when their terms expire and re-
cruiting has become very difficult. A
20 per cent increase in the base pay
of the enlisted personnel will enable
the government to attract into the
ranks men who are now inclined to go
into other employments with wider op-
portunities. 1t is not desired that the
United States should be in the posi-
tion of competing with the industries
for the services of men, but it should
surely so finance its essential organi-
cations as to recruit them adequately,
and this measure, which the House is
about to consider, is a means to that
end.

Senator Glass.

Mr.. Glass appearance in the Senate
is opportune for himself, for his party
and for the country. His year in the
Treasury Department must have
yielded great deal of information
about the finances of other countries
as well as of our own.
Everybody knows in general way
that the worlds finances are in a seri-
ously tangled state. The strongest
countries across the Atlantic are puz-
zling over money problems. All are
bonded heavily. All are taxed op-
pressively. All are struggling with
widespread business dislocations. And
America is in similar tolls. Our bond
ed Indebtedness mounts high. Our
taxes bear heavily. Our business is
greatly out of plumb.
But details are not matter of COM
mon knowledge. They are not acces-
sible to the everyday reader, while
the majority Of legislators are too
much occupied with other subjects to
give them full attention.
Here is where Mr.. Glass advantage
comes in. While Secretary of the
Treasury he had these details before
him, and, of course, mastered them.
AS senator, therefore, he will be
primed with material of value when
financial questions are taken up for
action by Congress.
The return of Mr.. Glass to the legis-
lative arena is probably very much to
his liking. He served a long time in
the House, and participated in much
important business in that body. He
knows the legislative ropes thoroughly.
And there is no reason why he
should not serve as long a time in the
Senate. Virginia seems to be unshak-
ably democratic; and the democrats of
the state show appreciation of capable
men in commission. They kept the
late MI. mdTtlu Ill ONCE quarter Oh
a century; and he died in harness. Mr..
Glass resembles him, in that he ad-
dresses himself in a businesslike way
to business subjects, and leaves what
may be called the parade of politics
to others. While in the House he was
much better known as a committee
man than as a debater in the open
chamber, and became an authority on
subjects that engaged his interest.
At sixty-two Mr.. Glass is probably
in his prime. He has had to do for
twenty years with large affairs, and
his contributions to important legis-
lation have been considerable. With
the whole world in disorder, this coun-
try needs men of experience in Office
to help shape its course; and Mr.. Glass
is of the kind to give good account
of himself.

The Low Exchange Rates.

If foreign exchange continues to fall
to lower rates American trade must
inevitably be seriously affected. Al
ready, indeed, it is impaired by the
unwillingness of shippers to take
chances ON losses due to money rate
shrinkage while goods are in transit.
The present low levels are beyond
precedent. With the British pound
touching $3.50 in New York obviously
the exchange market is in grave con-
dition. This is due to the fact that
there is no British trade credit in this
country. Imports from England must
be promoted as means of restoring
the price of the pound here. Loans by
the government will not, in any di-
rect influence they exert, effect a cure
of the conditions that cause the for
eign exchange to fall. They are but
temporary stimulants which do not
reach the root of the trouble. What
England, France and Italy most ur-
gently need today is an industrial re-
establishment. To the end of facili-
tating that process loans may be val
liable, but they are not to be regard
ed, in whatever form, as corrections of
the exchange dislocation save through
their effects in quickening production
on the other side of the Atlantic.

November.

Now and then one hears talk like
this: at is all over but the shouting.
Democratic victory this year is ut
terly out of the question. The party
stands condemned. 1t lost the cleo
tions of 1918, and the state elections
held last year. 1t is fxedly on the
skids, and nothing can rescue 1t. VI
course, the republicans must make 4
good choice at Chicago, and place the
candidate on a good platform. They
owe that much to the country. The
country expects that much. But the
rest will be easy. 1t is likely, indeed,
that the victors will have the largest
majority, both in the electoral college
and in the popular vote, ever record
ed in a presidential race
This sort of talk is usually from a
republican source. But now and then
one hears an echo of it in demo-
cratic quarters. As for instance: ave
must do the best we can at San Fran
cisco, and, later, in the campaign for
election. But with an eye to the
future. We must hold the party to-
gether under competent leadership, and
trust to luck for an improvement in
the situation before 1924 rolls around.
But we need not shut our eyes to the
fact that the present is lost. Never
mind about the responsibility. The less
said on that point the better. The
fact itself is sufficient
There is no sagaeity in either state
ment, and if either party guides by
the proposition laid down concerning
itself it viii be guilty of piece of
folly.
Undoubtedly, present prospects
favor the republicans. Since 1916,
when they lost by an eyelash, they
have won their races, both national
and state But they cannot afford to
underrate their opponents for the race
that is coming. Undertaking an op-
ponent is bad strategy at any time,
and would be particularly bad at this
time, when all conditions are con-
fused, and certainty is liable to be-
come an uncertainty overnight.
As for the democrats, for them to
make a mere gesture at San Francisco
would land them in the ditch. not only
for this year, but maybe for many
years. Their plain duty is to nomi-
nate the strongest man available, on
the best platform possible, and give
him the best support organizable.
Forecasts as to November are idle.
So abnormal a situation, political,
financial, industrial and social, has
never before been known; and expert
eneed men are not prophesying about
it, but studying it, with a view Of meet
ing for both the present and the future
whatever obligations it may appear
to impose.

Federal Railroad Control.

Director General Hines statement
to the newspapers of the United States,
a summary of which is printed else
where in The Star today, aims to cor
rect impressions that have prevailed
respecting the costliness of the fed
eral transportation control, under
taken as a war measure and soon to
be relinquished under presidential
proclamation, and, It is expected, leg
islatiye provision. He meets with fig
ures certain conceptions in the pub
lie mind inimieal to the Railroad Ad-
ministration. For instance, that while
increased operating costs in private
enterprise were due to war conditions
a corresponding increase in railroad
costs were due to mistakes of the ad-
ministration. He also combats the no.
tion that extravagant increases in
wages were paid for railroad labor,
and another that there was excessive
increase in the number of railroad
employees under federal control. All
of these, he says, are untrue.
In regard to the deficit from rail
road operations, Mr. Hines points to
two factors-frst, increased costs due
to conditions to which all industries
were subject, and inadequate revenues
attributable to failure to advance
transportation rates to the point of
actual costs. Had the deficit been
avoided by higher rates the burden
which now rests on the public in the
form of taxes to meet it would have
been carried by railroad users in the
form of higher prices for service. As
adequate service was rendered under
federal administration during war CON
ditions and immediate postwar con-
ditions as could have been rendered
by private administration. On this
point Mr.. Hines says that "the Rail

road Administration, with an made
quate plant, has actually performed an
exceptional volume Of service, and it
has done this with less congestion than
was ever known in previous periods
of heavy business in recent years"
In respect to the condition of the
property, an impression prevails that
the railroads are dilapidated and "will
be turned back to private owners i'll
a condition hardly susceptible of op-
eration.' This, says Mr.. Hines, is, ut
terly untrue. Locomotives and ears
are in good and safe condition, al
though for reasons that are perfectly
plain the equipment, now on the aver
age two years older than at the be-
ginning OF federal control, has not
been replaced at the rate of normal
railroad administration. Shop strikes
and coal strikes have initiated
against upkeep and have laid heavy
burdens upon the lines. Material and
labor shortages incident to the war
have checked betterments, and in
some respects hampered maintenance,
but in no greater degree because of
federal control than would have been
the case under private management.
Altogether the director general makes
out strong case for federal admin
istration, not for the purpose, it is
evident, of pointing to continued and
permanent government operation, but
to meet criticism that has become prev
alent.

SHOOTING STARS.

Old Father Times the landlord grim.

He makes all mortals turn to him
For shelter and for heat.

For Junetime and the rose.
With patient toll we're made to pay
For summertime repose.
Old Father Time has earth to let.
We dwell mid care and doubt,
And know full we'll, with deep regret,
Some day he'll turn US out.
