CLOSER COORDINATION
IN GOVERNMENT URGED
DR.. N. M. Butler, at Press Club,
Favors Administering Business
in Businesslike Way.

Closer coordination between the
estimating and appropriating branches
of the national government were
urged by DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler.
president of Columbia University. who
spoke at the National Press Club last
night. the fifth. presidential candi-
date" to address the organization Of
newspaper men.
DR.. Butler called attention to a re-
port published by a group Of eight
senators in 1881 suggesting that cab
met officers be required to be present
on the floor of the House or Senate at
certain times to answer questions re-
iating to their departments. much as
Is done in the house OF commons. He
said he believed this would do much
to reduce duplication of effort in gov
ernment activities.
while the rest Of the world has
made great strides. and business
methods and industrial activities have
undergone a change, our system of
said the speaker. TT has had new con-
ditions forced on 1t without being
adapted to those conditions. To remedy
this 1t Is necessary to coordinate the
work of government. and to adminis-
ter it in a businesslike way, like the
affairs Of the Steel Corporation or Penn
sylvnia railroad are handled"
DR.. Butler Endorsed the Overman act
giving the President power to re-
organize departments, bureaus, COM
missions and similar government ac-
tivfties, and said such powers should
rest continually with the chief execu-
tive. rather than be confined to a
period OF six months after the war. as
the present act reads. The speaker
made no reference to his personal at
titude toward the presidency or to the
political situation.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The writer of the article in The Sum

and Near Diplomats"-states that
continued strife among the many
races represented and the spreading
cancer Of bolshevism make the final
position Of that group a matter of
correct the erroneous impressions
which the statement quoted might
give to many readers?
In the territory now under the con-
troll of the provisional government of
Lithuania there is no strife among
ism.
The races represented under the
Lithuanian government, besides the
Llthuanians themselves, are (1 Jews,
(2)- White Russians and CD Poles in
small numbers. The Lithuanian gov
ernment has guaranteed complete
equality of treatment to the Lithu-
anian Jews-and they are getting it,
Ask any well informed Jew If they
are not. They have their special rep
net and are given autonomy in reli-
gious. educational and judicial mat
ters. The White Russians likewise
have a minister in the cabinet to rep
resent their special racial interests
and get along perfectly well with the
y
quote from the very clear and fair re-
port of Mr.. Robert Hale on the Baltic
provinces (Senate document No. 1860.
He (the Pole in Lithuania) is against
the independence of Lithuania and
would prefer the country to be gov
erned as a part of Poland, but he
is sufficiently aware of his position
to keep low and say very little. at
least until he gets to Warsaw. Then.
quite likely. he talks about the just
claims of Poland to Lithuania."
Bolshevism has never gained any
footing in Lithuania. because that
country is overwhelmingly agricul-
tural and Roman Catholic. Eighty
per cent of the population own land
most of the remaining 20 per cent are
farm employees. There is practically
no factory labor. AS to the brief boil
| shevist invasion. we quote again from
Mr.. Hale's report:
with the grudging and only half
loyal aid of the Germans and with a
| most defective supply of ammunition
and equipment, the Lithuanians have
succeeded in clearing their boundar-
les of the bolsheviks and setting up
civil government throughout their
entire territory, except in the city
of wilma and those parts of the gov
ernments of wilma and Grodno which
are claimed by the Lithuanians but
are now occupied by the Poles"
