certain departments OF cur railroads
there are 250,OOO more men on the paw
rolls than it has ever taken 10 do the
same work before whom the railroads
are not sending back to fields where
they are really needed because of the
threat of strikes which would be even
more expensive than continuing to pay
wages to this unnecessary labor.
America lost some 5000, 600 immi-
grants who would normally have
come to swell our labor ranks, because
OF the war. During the war we made
up large vt of this lack not only
through mor efficient machinery and
through greater individual efficiency
but particularly through cooperative eff
cheney in the handling and distribution
Of labor. We could today make up a
large part of labor's numerical de-
hciency in the same way, but as q mat
ter o. fact we are tremendously cx-
aggcrating the numerical deficiency Of

A Political Armada

Why was the fleet of the United
States divided by Mr.. Daniels. in
violation Of every sound principle of
naval strategy? For political con-
siderations-which have been and
still arc supreme in the Navy De-
partmcnt. The story of the division
is on the records; it cannot be too
often repeated for the light it sheds
on the sort of Secretary of the Navy
the Wilson Administrative has given
the country for seven long years.
When the fleet was divided and
the so-called armada" was sent to
the Pacific Coast last fall Mr.. Dam
'els went, too. Provisions were made
for the ''maximum publicity" He
met the fleet at San Diego. He took
shipload of photographers, report
ers and other guests out on a de-
stroyer to join the flagship off Coro-
nado Beach. Then began series of
banquets and triumphs for him.
Mr.. Daniels was feted, photo
graphed and fattered. At the first
great banquet Admiral Rodmsn
had speech prepared. But Mr.
Daniels wished to cersor it, He did
so. He cut the heart out of it. He
wished to do all the talking him
self. So he practically muzzled the
commander in chief! After thar
Rodman made no speeches.
The Pacific fleet was hitched to
Mr.. Daniels's personal and political
chariot. He reviewed" it at every
port. He made famboyant speeches
New-York tribune., 1920-10-07

and promised everybody everything
The officers of the navy, in disgust,
called it political caravan" He
put the grand old Oregon into COM
mission, at great expense, solely for
use as reviewing stand
Not satisfied with this parade
along the coast from San Diego to
Puget Sound, where he met Presi-
dent Wilson, who was then touring
the West TO promote the League of
Nations, Mr.. Daniels next violated
all traditional records and all pro-
pricties by taking his family with
him for a junkct to Honolulu on a
dreadnought! This capped the eli
max. And at Honolulu, while in
toxicatcd by his triumph, he modest
~ announced that his candidacy for
the Presidential nomination crested
with the people,!
1t has rested there ever since. Sad
to relate, this beautiful boom,
launched SO gracefully by himself,
for himself, with the navy as a side
show and the strategical reasons
against divided feet ignored, was
punctured and hattened forever by
the Senate investigation of Mr.
Daniels,
New-York tribune., 1920-10-07

The Evening World seems un-
aware that reservation No. 7 of the
Lodge list provided that no repre-
sentative of this country in the
League of Nations should be named
except pursuant to an act of Con-
gress of the United States providing
for his appointment and defining
his duties" THIS reservation the
President ordered his tanned Sena-
tors not to accept. Why? The in
ference is natural that the President
thought that as the covenant was
drawn it permitted him to do the
picking. He has always contended
that the Chief Executive possesses
the exclusive power to negotiate with
foreign powers, and the business
before the league council would GER
tainly be negotiation. Our ncighbor
has temporarily forgotten the pas
sion of Joseph Pulitzer for accuracy,
else it would not fall into the abb
surdity of defending the defeat of
reservation No. 7 while admitting
that Congress should fix by law how
our league representatives should be
chosen.
