Real Investigation by Bunch of
Politicians Is impossible.

1t is no wonder that Mr.. UNTER-
MyER, counsel for the Lockwood com
mittee, has little faith In the Board
of Estimates Investigation of city
contracts.
The Mayor. who has been shown up
by the Lockwood committee through
the honest and fearless work of UN-
TERMYER, has displayed bitter animus
toward the proceeding.
The Corporation Counsel, who is the
official subordinate of the Mayor and
who can be removed by n stroke of
the Mayors pen, has shown the same
spirit that his chief betrayed.
The Board of Estimate has eight
members. Six of them are of the
Tammany breed. Mr. CURRAN and Mr..
LA GUARDIA are the only ones who
could be relied upon to throw them
selves into the investigation without
worrying about the effect on their po-
liticf future.
The public is not interested in an
investigation by board of which the
Mayor IS chairman. The Mayor has
been discredited. The city has no
faith in him. 1t can have no faith
in a legal proceeding conducted by
the Mayors lawyer.
The public has its eye on the Lock-
wood committee. 1t wants to see UN-
TERMYER, who has done so much, do
some more. It wants to see the evil
dence against the thieves and grafters
presented to Grand Jury. 1t knows
that the Attorney-G General of New York
State has been reelected for another
term and that he can ably present the
cases to Special Grand Jury.
After what came out last week,
HYLAN as an investigator is impossi-
BILE. No embarrassing jobs are
wanted.

9ureaucrat Bakers Bureaucratic
Defence Of War Department Waste.

Secretary of War BAKER in his
statement concerning accusations of
wastefulness and favoritism made
against the War Department in its
handling of surplus supplies falls
easily into the familiar phrases Of the
bureaucrat:
Those who write highly colored
newspaper articles making accusa-
tlons which have not been brought to
the attention of the War Department
and have not been critically examined
are perhaps unaware that they are
shaking the confidence of the country
as to the integrity OF its Government
and running the risk OF defaming
officers and employees of the Govern
ment by lodging in the public mind
insinuations and accusations against
them which after weeks Of invesu-
cation would be proved to be baseless.
IF those who believe themselves to
have information Of this kind will in
a spirit of fairness and justice CO.
operate with the war Department in
thorough investigation and publish
the facts when all the facts are known
they will escape the possible injus-
tlce Of n partial, distorted or erro-
neous statement and really aid the
Government in reviewing It's trans
actions and discovering and punish
ing wrongdolng II any is found"
There has never been bureaucrat
big or little who could not see I'm the
exposure Of Incompetence, graft or dis
honesty In his department an attack
on the very fabric of government.
Secretary BAKER is not different
from scores Of thousands of other pub
lie servants who feel when sthelr own
comfort Is disturbed national security
Is menaccd, and who regard the main
tcnance of their own pleasant com
posture as the prime essential OF Of
fccilve government.

no more original than his attitude in
behalf OF suppression. Highly col

Our Merchant Marine Is Not Furi-
ing It's Flag.

America IS disappointed and dis
gusted with the record of the United
States Shipping Board. Americans
will look the other way while the
Englishman calculates how many lost
propellers have been strewn around
the British Isles by American ships
in supposed endeavor to challenge
British supremacy on the seas. But
in our open disgust and disappoint-
ment we do not want to mlsunder-
stand ourselves or be misunderstood
abroad.
We do not want to fool ourselves
by lightly charging Off this waste of
hundreds of millions as war loss or
as an expense incidental to restoring
our fleet to the seas. The whole mess
must be exposed and disinfected and
a repetition Of it's blunders and frauds
made impossible by reducing the Ship
ping Board to a regulatory body like
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and taking the active operation of
ships out of its hands.
Likewise 1t should be our endeavor
to disabuse the minds of some of our
friends across the Atlantic, who as
sumo that we have learned our little
lesson as they predicted and are ready
to throw up the sponge by admitting,
as the Liverpool Journal Of Com
merce puts It. that:
THE shipping game is a very pecu-
liar one, and nation of farmers and
manufacturers might find II n little
beyond tie powers Tho United
States merchant marine has cost
lot OF money. and as a capital in
vestment II must be regarded ne a
failure The Jones act has
proved failure. and 30 far all the
various bluffs and threats have done
nothing TO advance the interests OF
United States shipping"
Let us see how these conclusions
have been drawn.

COASTING IN TOWN.
Bennett Terrace Would Have the Adj
vantage of Being Safe.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Frank A.
Eagan's suggestion of setting aside suit
able places where boys and girls can
have the pleasure of coasting under safe
conditions is a fine idea.
In Boston in the '70s and sos the Po-
lice Department used to set aside GER
tain streets for the winter sport OF coast
ing. and in the heart of the city Boston
Common was used. All these streets
were under police protection.
Let me add to the list Of streets that
may be under consideration what is
called Bennett terrace, which runs UNI
der the hill east OF Fort Washington
avenue. Al a point just north of 1SSth
street this Is a clear street running to
1880 street and into an open field used
in summer for baseball. There are no
houses or cross streets here. nothing to
endanger the lives of the children while
on Bennett avenue from 1S1st street to
1s7th street there would be constant
danger not only to the coasters but also
to the automobiles.
Coasting on Bennett avenue should be
prohibited on account of the danger in
volved. but the children should have
a place to coast. III. NJ. UNDERWOOD.

piled itself more than six times.
After the civil war internal de-
velopment engaged our attention.
The merchant navy grew to S,000,-
600 tons, but only 100000 tons
could be spared for foreign trade.
British and other foreign vessels car
ried all but 10 per cent. of our i'm
ports and exports by water the year
before the European war, not be-
cause there were no American navi-
gators but because they were busy
with another task.
Since 1914 our fleet has been
doubled. We have tonnage to spare
for foreign commerce.
The Shipping Board has failed,
but the merchant marine operated by
this nation of farmers and manufac-
urers has not failed. Our own ves-
sells carried OF per cent. Of our
water borne commerce in 1914, 14.3
per cent. in 1915, 1853 in 1915. 1876
In 1917, 21.9 in 1918, 33 i'm 1919,
and 43 per cent. thus far this year.
This is no record of failure.
Neither has the Jones law failed.
1t is young and it is not fully effec-
tive. Great Britain properly fosters
her shipping and trade by special
measures, such as the Canada-West
Indies tariff arrangement, just com
pleted; the Australian customs prefer
ence and by subsidy and subventions
to shipbuilders and ship operators.
France discarded the Anticipated
commercial treaty system in 1915 and
abrogated agreements with the United
States, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia and
other countries because cheese agree
ments fettered her trade. The Jones
law, when in full operation, will en-
able America to duplicate, if neces-
sary. the sensible action Of Britain
and France.
Sir FREDERICK LEWIS and Lord Pr
RTE assert that there is plenty of work
for both the British and the Ameri-
can merchant fleet. America concurS
in this opinion. There will be house
cleaning in the Shipping Board, but
the American merchant marine has
no thought Of hauling down the flag.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER is. 1920.
Economic Truths Hoover May Have
Told the Labor Leaders.

What HERBERT HOOVER has been
telling the managers of the American
Federation of Labor at their confer
ence on the industrial situation is d.
vulged to the public in only vague
terms. We don't really know whom
he blamed or what he blamed, if he
blamed anybody or anything. We
don't know what he recommended or
what he deprecated.
But unless Mr.. HOOVER told the
labor union managers plainly that ter
rife production costs have throttled
American business his advice to them
did not do justice to his professional
sense. Unless he told them fatty that
1t was not merely the high wages but
the low productive efficiency of labor
which lacked up productive costs to
levels that are prohibitive Of free
buying and full consumption his
counsel TO them did not do justice to
his economic sense. Unless he told
them unqualifiedly that inorlinate liv-
ing costs cannot go down either nor
mally or permanently unless inordi-
nate wages go down with them he
did not do justice to his sense of
truth.
In a publication put out by the
Associated Employers of Indiana are
some statistics covering the work and
the pay of bricklayers which go TO the
very heart of the trouble. These fig
ures show the different wage rates
and the different production records
for various years between 1909 and
1920. as follows:

A Man Who Refuses to Be Dead.

Lieutenant JOHN GRAMsToRFF, of
Lynn, Massachusetts, refuses to be.
lieve that he is dead. The War
Department has more than once in
formed him that he is dead, but he is
sceptical. AS he walks, breathes, re-
spends TO pinches and, above all,
thinks that he is not dead, he con-
siders himself warranted in his salts
faction that he is alive. But his
repeated declarations to NEWTON ID.
BAKERS department that he is alive
are not credited. In spite of them the
War Department has sent letter TO
bis home saying that his body is being
sent back from France. The Lieu
tenants somewhat indignant con-
sciousness is clothed in body that
suits him; he wants no other.
Fortunately for GRAMsToRFF, his
neighbors take his side of the case.
Even the psychics on the block reject
the theory that JOHN is spook. Some
of them, we imagine, incline to the
suspicion that it is the War Depart
ment that is dead.

Two Great Authorities Commend
the Hylan Administration

The New York Symphony Orchestra
had speech. by Mayor HYLAN read
to it the other night. There was
more about the Mayor than about
music in the speech. One paragraph
ran as follows:
"You come back to the greatest city
in the world. which is being run for
the people, in spite OF attacks OF SUBJ
sidized newspapers. which are ma
liciously creating a wrong impression
OF the city government. misrepresen-
tations scattered broadcast by a hos
tile controlled press crowded by it's
financial hackers and self-seeking
interests"
If anybody thinks that this view OF
the municipal administration springs
solely from the Mayors mind we beg
to correct the false impression. On
January 3d. 1919, close student of
the city's business wrote as follows
to Mr.. HYLAN;
I'VE know of the splendid work
you are doing for the city Of New
York. notwithstanding attacks by
special interests"
The author of that commendatory
gem was none other than Mr.. JOHN
I. HETTRIcK, the friend that Mayor
HYIAN finally remembered.
