Solving the Subway

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir, The letter Of Herbert Barry
published in this mornings issue Of
Tho Tribune suggests as a remedy for
present subway congestion "Remove
the point Of congestion from the door
Of the car to . gate sorne distance from
it." This desirable situation will be
brought about by the erection Of
fences and gates, according to Mr..
Barry.
To the simple suburban mind the idea
Of fences and gates is abhorrent, Pic
ture the frantic homeseeker pushed
forward by several equally fran
tic homeseekers gradually filtering
through the interstices Of fence or
gate. To escape such fate he would
need the strength Of Sir Galahad, sup
plemented by that Of Hercules.
Mr.. Barry neglccts the simpler and
more obvious uggestion-invite pas
sengers to enter. by the center door
and leave by tho end doors. If the
invitation could be couched in the con-
ciliatory language native to "The Sub
way Sum-" doubtless all passengers
would pant with eagerness to accept It.
Thus would bs obviated the expense Of
erecting fences and gates and of en-
pfoytng extra guards to patrol and
manipulate them, AZ we'll as the time
lost by keeping incoming passengers
away from the train while otFgoins
passengers escape with leisurely grace
Not all the congestion loathed by Mr.
Barry would DO done away with, espe.
cially during the Arst few. weeks Of
the system, but At least there would be
less need for pugilistic prowess than
uadsr the present lack OF system and
less loss Of business mans money"
than under Mr.. Barry's suggested plan

ticed in Warrington. "washing-
ton," he said, "is a combination Of
political caucus, drawing room and
civil service bureau. It Is rich In
brains and character. But It is
poorly organized for tho task that
belongs to It,"
Many people were disappointed
because the Secretary didn't offer
some concrete plan Of reconstruc-
ton. He has now repaired that
omission in part by indorsing the
National Public Works Department
Associations proposal to convert the
Interior Department into a Depart
ment Of Public Works. By consoli-
dating under one head all the agen-
cies which have to do with public
works the association thinks that a
saving Of $12o, 100000 could be ef-
fected on the basis Of current ap-
preparations.
At present twenty-seven separate
agencies are employed in the con-
struction Of public buildings. Six
teen are building roads and nineteen
are engaged in hydraulic or river
and harbor work. All have different
standards. All issue different speci-
flcations. Confusion and waste are
inevitable.
The Interior Department was Gre
ated in 1849 and took over various
bureaus, like the General Land Of
fee, the Pensions Bureau, the Bu-
reau Of Patents and tho Office of
Indian Affairs, which were previ-
ously Independent. Other agencies,
more or less unrelated, were at
tached to Il, so that its functions be-
came highly miscellaneous. Mr.. Lane
wants to unity its task by diverting
the Patent Office to the Department
Of Commerce, the Pensions Bureau
to the Treasury Department, the
Bureau Of Education and the Office
Of Indian Affairs to the Department
Of Labor. He would transfer to the
new Department Of Public Works
the Supervising Architects Office,
now under the Treasury Depart
ment; the Board Of Engineers for
Rivers and Harbors, the Mississippi
River Commission and the Califor-
mia Debris Commission, now under
the War Department; the Coast and
Geodetic Survey and the Bureau of
Standards, now under the Depart
ment Of Commerce, the Bureau of
Public Roads and the Forest Service,
now under the Department Of Agri-
culture.
Here is a rational scheme of con-
solidation, which will bring about
unified management and ought to
lead to greater administrative eff
cheney. It will stop many leaks
from the Treasury. And there are
similar cancellations which any ex-
perienced Washington bureau chief
could suggest, but which have not
been suggested 20 far, because, as
Mr.. Lane truly says. initiative has
been benumbed, and those who know
what ia the matter with the govern
ment have been rnistaught to avoid
responsibility and innovation and to
see the prudence Of always "playing

Tho Naval Program

Committee, Seersta1y Daniels mod
estly remarked: II have learned .
lot during the war, / hope"
His acquired wisdom boils down
to this: The size and character Of
the feet depend on three conhngen-
cies. II tho United States joins the
league Of nations It can dispense
with building major vessels-super-
dreadnoushts and battle-cruisers.
But the feet viii have to be rounded
out by tho construction of lighter
surface types, submarines and air.
plane carriers. II tho United States
doesn't join the league we shall have
to lay down another three-year pro-
gram with the aim of creating "in-
comparably the greatest navy in tho
world" While the attitude Of the
United States toward the league is
undetermined an intermediate con-
struction program should be author
lied.
Thess recommendations can hardly
help confusing the committee. Even
il the Senate is prevented from rati-
flying the German treaty by the
Presidents opposition to reserva-
tions and the question Of ratification
goes to the country next fall in -
great and solemn referendum" there
is little prospect that tho United
States can be kept out Of the league
after March a, 1921. The only strug-
gle over the covenant concerns the
conditions on which this country will
join the league. The Presidents
personal opposition to qualification
Of the terms Of the covenant is at
present tho sole obstacle to immedi-
ate American adherence.
From Mr.. Daniels's point Of view
tho "incomparably greatest navy in
the world" theory can hardly apply
under existing circumstances. And
If our membership in the league can
be postponed at most only twelve
months, the intermediate program
also seems hardly practical. Why
authorize at this session two battle
ships. one battle-cruiser and six
scout cruisers If the election in No
vember is to decide that we are going
to enter the league either with res.
ervations or without them, and may
then, in the Secretary's opinion,
scrap our more ambitious construc.
ton plans?
Putting considerations of world
politics aside. what have the lessons
Of the war actually taught with re.
spect to future naval construction?
That is question which Mr.. Daniel.
didn't meet clearly in his exposition
Lord Fisher has been saying that the
old monster surface ships belong to
the past. In his view warfare at
sea will be conducted hereafte,
largely by submersibles and by air.

Of tho liquor interests, but as a be-
lever in fair play. His attacks against
Senator Wadsworth alone have made
me q strong supporter Of the Senator,

be governed by fearless officials and
not by officials who are dictated to by
