THRIFT TO AVERT DISASTER

President Wilson recently de.
clared that if we fail to solve the
problem of the high cost of liv-
ing we will face national disas-
ter" To meet the situation he
recommends:
Only by keeping the cost of
production on its present level, by
increasing production and by rig
I'D economy and saving on the
part of the people can we hope
for large decreases in the bur
densome cost of living which now
weighs us down"
Gov. w. p. G. Harding. of the
Federal Reserve board, voices the
same view in these words:
Whether viewed from an eco
nomic or financial standpoint. The
remedy for the present situation
IS the same, namely, to work and
save; work regularly and eff

THE SIMS CONTROVERSY.

As far as we are able to dag
nose his case at this distance, the
symptoms manifested by Admiral
Sims indicate that he is suffering
from what is commonly called a
complication of maladieS. Dating
back many years, even as lar as
the administration Of President
Taft, who had to give him call
ing down for indiscreet talk, the
admiral has been afflicted with
looseness Of the tongue, a trouble
that put him in the lime-hght
from time to time, and it is ap-
parent that this position has not
been wholly unpleasant to him.
Besides possessing penchant
for this sort Of thing, the ad-
miral seems to have generated a
full-grown crouch because the adj
ministrative heads Of the navy de-
partment didn't turn over the
whole thing to him during the
war and, despite the brilliant rec
ord made by our sea fighting men
and ships, he now feels called
upon to point out the many mon
umental mistakes that were made.
OF course it is possible that the
remarkable achievements of our
navy during the war might have
been surpassed had Admiral Sims
been the sole boss of the opera
tions but this is a matter upon
which naval authorities will
differ.
Secretary Daniels has ex-
pressed a desire to have the en-
tire issue raised by the admiral
to the most thorough
investigation and we have mol
doubt that when the findings are
the points in controversy
will appear in their true light as
insignificant. The ma
ton knows that the policies pur-
sued by the navy department pro-
auced the desired results. Wheth-
ar the Sims plans would have been !
equally successful can never be |
