Future Naua[ Warfare
Rear Admiral Fise and Rear Admiral Goodrich ndorse "Quare
dek Doubts Of Big Baese Program and Plea for Investigation

| naval stratcgst as naval historian
Mahan dealt almost wholly with the
past, and where he very properly took
the lessons of the past as guides for
progress in the future, he did not at
tempt to do so except from that stand
the engineer or inventor. Mahan was
not at all an engineer or an inventor,
and for this reason it would be ex-
tremely dangerous to be guided wholly
by his writings in planning for the
future
1t must be borne in mind that while
the principles of strategy are everlast-
ing, the practice of strtegy is exceed
ingly changeable. 1t may also be point
cd out that the reason for it's change
ability is mainly the changes which our
rapidly developing civilization has in
troduced and is still introducing into
naval war. The whole practice of STRAIT
egy and of tactics is in the utilization
sequent methods of their employme mt
Therefore, to quote Mahan in argu-
ment for or against the utilization of
new inventions is exceedingly illogical.
During the past fifty years almost
the whole opposition against the use
Of new inventions and novel methods
and appliances has come from men who
did not know much about them. For
instance, the determined opposition
waged against the utilization of cleo
tricity in the navy came from men who
knew little about electricity and it's
possibilities. Similarly, to-day most of
the men who oppose the strenuous de-
velopment of aeronautics have not
studied carefully the possibilities of
aeronautics. This is unfortunate, for,
as "Quarterdeck" says, now is the time
to "stop, look, listen"-that is, to study
thoroughly the possibilities of aero
nautics.
Above all, we must experiment. In
the opinion of many of us, aeronautics
is destined to bring about revolution
in warfare in comparison with which
the revolution inswarfare brought about
by the invention of the gun was like a
vaudeville performance.

The Lesson Of the War
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: AS a layman who has been suf-
ficiently interested in the sea power
problem to read most Of the first-hand
contributions which have appeared
since the war, l wish to congratulate
"Quarterdeck" on bringing before the
public the unwisdom Of trusting to big
battleships.
AS see it, sea power is to protect
lines of sea communication. Great Brit
ain had throughout the war an un-
meetable feet. Yet Germany almost
blockaded her-would have done so
except for light anti-submarine craft.
1t follows, 1t seems to me, first that

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring to the letter in yes
terday's paper from "Commuter," would
say that his scheme would not protect
the railroad from misuse Of commuta-
t;on tickets. A commuter could lend
his ticket to friend and then tell
the conductor that he had left it at
home, pay his fare. fill out form and
set refund, while the person to whom
the ticket was loaned would ride free
This, in my opinion, is a great objec-
tion to tbs proposal.

interest as the interest Of emplover
or public.
If the Federation Of Labor raises
large fund it would benefit union
ism to devote part cf it to educating
all workers to see that the way to
have increased wages is to increase
production per human unit en-
ployed. When there is practical ac
oeptance Of the principle that pro-
duction controls compensation no
shops are likely to be open. When
union labor is the cheapest and most
efficient it will quickly gain a mo-
nopoly.

To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The article BY "Quartcrdcck"
called "Future Naval Warfare,", pub
lshed in your issue of November s,
seemed to me so wholly admirable that
| feel sorry to see it criticized harshly
by Mr.. Farwcll, late lieutenant CON-
mander U. S. N. R., in your issue to-
day. Mr.. Farwell devotes considerable
space to advocating offensive warfare
Apparently he understood "Quarter-
deck" TO advocate defensive warfare
OF course, Quarterback S" article did
not advocate defensive warfare. 1t
merely pointed out how easily aircraft
can defend our coasts.
| will admit, at the outset, that am
somewhat handicapped in the discussion
of subject such rs Future Naval War
fare" by the fact that am an inventor,
and predisposed constitutionaly, there
fore, to expect that new inventions
which attempt to do great things will
really be able TO do them, provided that
they are based on correct scientific prn-
ciples, and provided further that the
cost of their development is not pro-
hibitive. At the same time I may per-
haps be pardoned if I state, as an offset
to my handicap as an inventor, that I
have had actual personal experience with
the development of many Off not most)
of the radically new inventions which
have modified naval warfare during the
last half century.
l am familiar with the development
now going on in naval aeronautics, and
therefore with the different phases of
the opposition to 1t; and l feel justified
in stating that, changing certain nouns
that are employed, one may take all the
things written against the torpedo, the
sea-chlight, electric turning Of turrets,
electric firing Of guns, telescope sight,
director firing, etc, even the abolition
of sails, and apply them against GUAR
terdeck's" argument and make virtually
the same argument as Mr. Farwell does
1t seems to make no difference what any
new proposal may be. the opposition to
~ ~ e~A" 10y SNPAScoCu Ill tUc same way,
except that, of course, different nouns
have to be employed. One cannot oppose
the strenuous development of aero
nautics, for instance, with exactly the
same words with which others, few
years ago, opposed the strenuous develop
ment OF the torpedo: one must strike out
the word torpedo" and insert the word
"aeronautics." Crest tout.
The main difficulty found in our navy
(and IN all navies) in keeping abreast
OF scientific developments has always
been tendency to regard the problem
not from the standpoint of the future,
but the standpoint Of the past. Mr.. Far
wells criticism Of "Quarterdeck's" art-
cle' Tor instance, is based almost wholly
on the record of the past, although
"Quarterdeck's" article was not written
ABOUT the past but about the future.
In this connection hope I may be
pardoned if seem to depreciate the
great work that Mahan did, if I point
out that Mahan was not so much a

Removal, Not Resignation

Demands on Mayor Hylan that he
resign, though they satisfy feelings
naturally aroused, are not likely to
achieve practical result.
Hylan will not resign. He did not
retire as candidate when the
BLACK Diamond" exposures were
made. 1t is not the habit Of Tam
many officials to disconnect them
selves from public Offices wherein
they are close to contract letting.
Hsfen did not quit voluntarily, nor
Ahearn.
If the city is to be rid of Hylan,
Section 122 of the city Charter must
be invoked. This section reads as
iollows:
. "The Mayor may be removed Arom
Office by the Governor in the same
. msnner as sheriffs, except that the
Governor may direct the inquiry pro-
yided by law to be conducted by the
Attorney General; and after the
charges have been received by the
Governor he may. pending the in
vestigation, suspend the Mayor for a
period not exceeding thirty days"
The state constitution, with re-
spect to sheriffs, provides that
sheriff may be removed by the Gov
ernor after filing of charges
against him and giving him an op-
portunity to be heard.
Will Governor Smith take cogni-
lance Of charges against the Mayor?
Much has been said Of the Gov
srnor's courage, but it is doubtful
whether he will be willing to go to
the bat. If he will not, will Judge
Miller, when he becomes Governor?
1t is obvious, if business is meant,
that it is time to begin to prepare
the case in definite way.
Hylan's defense is that he was
fooled. He denies that he knew the
chief Of the conspirators. Yet it ap-
pears that the Mayor acted as his
amanuensis and forwarded a letter
to the school board that this pro-
moter handed to him. Strange, in
deed, was it to allow stranger to
dictate the Mayors correspondence!
Hylan next pleads that the letter
he sent to the school board was
transmitted after the board had
taken final action on tn. contracts,
and hence had no influence; Why,
then, was it sent? Why did the
limestone ring want it sent?
Some months ago the Mayor sud-
Denly became filled with great zeal
for new school buildings. He be-
came most solicitous for the educa-
aonal welfare of children. His
extraordinary interest had smell
q 'acceleration," and now the pub
le can judge whence the a,celera-
aon came. The public can also
Judge why the Mayor resisted being
called as witness and why his Com
missioner of Accounts was slow in
his investigation.
Does this furnish adequate legal
sno moral reason for his removal by
The Governor?
