THE ARMY BILL.

The senate committee on military affairs has gone deeply into the ques ton of reorganizing the army. It has considered many suggestions and heard many witnesses qualified to pass their opinion on such a matter and the result is that they have present. cd what they believe should constitute the military policy of the country heheeforth.
 The bill as presented by the senate committee differs radically from the adninistratien bill in several respects It calls for an army about half the size. with 2S0,e0e men and 1S,e0e off, eers where the administration bill seeks a standing army of 57e, ,0p0 men, it means an expenditure yearly of half a billion instead of billion dol lars for the army and it calls for com pulsory training Of boys between the ages of IS and 21 for a period of four months to be followed by enrolment in the reserves for a stated period thereafter.
 The compulsory training is in re- : sponse to the demands for action that would prevent the country again find ing itself in the situation it did on entrance into the world war. The size of the standing army is deter mined ilHaccord with the needs of peace time conditions. Instead at some future time calling out the young men of the country as was done in the late war for service with out training, except what could be htlrriedly given, the universal milf- tary training would find them and the country prepared much better than ever before with every fit young man in the years to come instructed in military affairs.
 Much effort has been put forth in behalf Of such training. The senate committee has decided to recommend 1t to congress. What action will he taken in the lower house has not as yet been determined but it is indicat- ed that the sentiment of that body's committee is pretty evenly divided.

RAsEn ON THE FACTS.

Attention cannot fail to be given to the manner in which the special labor board of New York state has been able to bring about an adjustment of the dispute between the garment workers and their ey1lpioyes, and it indicates very plainly that such set dement's are fur rssserable to tie sort to force and the creation of m enced where there is an absoiute re- fusal to be guided by the facts iii the case.
 Even though the claim of the gar ment workers to the effect that the government reports an increase of s5 per cent. and Bradstreet's T5 per cent. in living costs during the past five years, during which their wages had been raisd only so per. cent, must in dicate to many that the garment workers have come far nearer to keeping wages and the cost of living together than have many employers in other lines of activity, it cannot fail to be noticed that there was a willingness to be governed by the facts in the case, and the submission VI tAa0 OAoPdAc LO Et&C fi<1tSHI NOciu LII der those conditions has resulted in an award of 15 per cent. increase in stead of the 30 per cent. raise sought
 Thus is avoided a strike with the unfortunate conditions that are al- ways connected herewith and it is vegetable that such settlements dc not make wider appeal when labor troubles are threatened
 In connection with this increase in pay it is the expectation et the board that granted the increase that the additional wages should come out of the employer rather than out of the consumer. In that the .14 per cent increase to the miners was apparent ly taken as an example, but it now remains to be SeI:l whether the con- sumer escapes the payment of the raise. He isn't ape fn dGdge macy of them.
Norwich bulletin., 1920-01-29
OTHER VIEW POINTS

The people Of New Haven only have to cock an eye on the city of Hartford to find an illustration of the manner in which government ownership works, and then compare it with their better fortune here at home. AS far back as we can remember, the water. commissioners Of that city are either just resting up from noisy conflict of a political origin or preparing for another. Just at present they are having a high old time, with their troubles eliminating in a resolution that General Goethals be invited there to find out what the dickens is the trouble and how it can be remedied. No attempt has been made to poll the commissioners on the inspira tional qualities of the Lords prayer. but t is stated that the vote would surely break along party lines. All this uf- der the government ownership of the municipal water supply and works. New Haven is better off in having it's water needs supplid by a private cor poration which seeks public favor by managing it's business with due re4 spect for the general welfare. We should have to find things here much worse than they are to justify us in recommending to the people of the city that they make a clean jump out of the frying pan into the fire. We hold no brief for the New Haven wa ter company, but nothing short of its arrogant stupidity would ever induce us to hold a brief for the Hartford style of giving public service in the great national drink.-NAw Haven Journal Courier.

pEPoRTINe rnE REDS.

A United States district attorney in Philadelphia has resigned his position hecauSe he is not in harmony with the laws he Is supposed to enforce. That neirg the case he has done the wise Hiing and the real cause for aurnrise lies in the fact that he ever under fook. work that required him to re- sPect laws before his own judgment.
 It having been determined that the communist party requires it's mem eers to stand and work for the over throw Of government by force Secre- tary Wilson of the department of la Dor has ruled that the alien members of such an organiza ton should be dealt with by deportation. That there are chances of innocent people being caught in the raids such as have been conducted about the country is to he realized but as the secretary of labor points out that might happen in many ether instances where law was be- ing upheld and when aliens are taken under those conditions there are pro- visions of the law for their protection through habeas corpus proceedings.
 The possibility of a member of the ecnznGnist party being unconsciously inelHded in such an organization is atssipeted by the fact that every member binds himself to an ihteilec- tusl acceptanee of the constitution of the party but pledges active partici- patton in it's work. with the knowl- cage that such work is the overthrow Of government.

whether or not there was lengthy deliBerstion over the possibility ef naming a republican tc saeaeed Sea- rstary Glass of tue treasury depart nknt. for which ? Ist an assistant n5t6gd Lshingwell had been promi- neftly mentioned, the selection has been made and no republican is re- ouired in the Wilson cabinet.
 It was supposed ;AAt the treasury portfolio had been filled for the re- r11ainder sf the term when Carter Glass was chosen. but death removed Senator Martin of Virginia and Secre- tary Glass was sought for that work. U6on the advice of the president he accepted it and for weeks has been waiting to take up his work in the upper branch of congress.
 As the new secretary of the treas ury. Secretary Houston of the agri- cultural department has been chosen and he win take up entirely new work because of the fact that he has been an assistant professor of political economy, as well as such other quali- fieations as he has for cabinet po- sitfen. One portfolio is not as rule a. stepping stone to the other but it was apparently easier to get a new man for the agricultural post than for the secretaryship of the treasury, and it remains for Secretary Houston even though he has had less expert ence in finance than either of his pre- decessers to make good during time which are bound to be plenty strenu ouk.
