HARDING APPROVES
NEW DEPARTMENT
President-Elect Endorses Sena-
tor Kenyon's Proposal for So
CiaI Welfare Advancement.

Among the many subjects which
have been taken UP with Senator
Harding in the course OF his stay in
Washington is the establishment OF
a new department of social welfare
or public welfare into which will be
aggregated all OF those bureaus and
agencies which are concerned in SO
cial justice.
Senator Harding and Senator Ken
yon, chairman OF the education and
labor committee, conferred over
such n measure. Senator Kenyon has
a bill for the proposed new depart
ment which he will introduce in the
Senate today or tomorrow.
HARDING FAVORs 1T.
The President-elect is in favor Of
the establishment of the new depart
ment and has given his endorsement
to the Kenyon measure on principle.
He has not had an opportunity to SO
into all It's details.
The bill will be taken up for con-
sderation by the education and la
Dor committee this winter and while
II is not expected that ii can be
passed this session, ii will be put
through early in tho extra session IL
possible.
Undoubtedly the passage OF such
bill means that one of the members
oe the new Cabinet will be woman.
The bill does not in terms provide
that a woman shall head the depart
ment, but 1t is the expectation of
Senator Kenyon that such will be the
case.
Senator Harding came out in the
course of the campaign for the cstab-
lishment of a new department into
which would be gathered all the agen-
cies which relate to social justice or
social welfare. This would include the
Public Health Service, the Children's
Bureau, the Women's Bureau and
numerous others. Probably it would
include the Bureau OF Education.
though efforts are on for a Depart
ment Of Education. 1t is hardly to
be expected, however, that two new
departments will be established in the
near future.
HCMANITARIAN LEGISLATION.
when the Committee on Education
and Labor takes up the bill some OF
the leading women of the United
States who are interested in social
justice will be asked to appear and
tell their reasons for the new depart
ment and what they believe should
be the general nature OF It's work.
Prominent women believe that IL
such a depart is established It
will go far to promote social justice
for women and children in industry,
to bring about better health and sani-
tation, and in numerous ways to i'm
prove conditions in this country for
humanity.

U. S. Ships Under Control Of
British Through Lack Of
Charts, Says Report.

The United States Navy Is abso-
luteiy dependent upon the British
admiralty for nearly 80 per cent Of
her sailing charts, and entrance OF
American warships into Europea l
waters is practically under the cor
troll Of the British government, Chief
photographer l.. II. Chandler as

Secretary Of the Navy, made public
today.

or the 4.642 charts used in navi-
eating American war vessels and mer-
chant ships in 1920, the Navy De-
partment furnished only 2.720. being
compelled to look to British naval
authorities for LIS, tho report says.
Sesenty-nve per cent of the sea maps
used In navigating northern Euro
pean waters came from British
sources.
During tho last war" Rear Ad-
miral Chandler continues. I'VE were
fortunately associated with Great
Britain and were therefore able to get
the necessary charts from the British
Admiralty. In any future war in
which Great Britain were either neu-
trail or hostile we would be fatally re-
stricted by lack of charts. for this Of
fee can not reproduce such charts In
sufficient quantity under the pressure
of an existing war; even with un-
limited funds available. IL takes
long time to create a new chart
plate"
The ADMIRAL declares this condition
should be reneAied Mt the earliest
possible date, but warns that mt the
present rate Of progress 1t will be
1srty years before the United states
is Independent of Grent Britain.
CHARTS ARE ESSENTIAL.
Complete and accurate hydrogra-
phic information Is essential II the
United States merchant marine Is to
compete successfully in the present
struggle for supremacy in the ocean
carrying trade of the world, Admiral
Chandler says, and recommends the
enlargement Of the photographic
bureau to meet these needs and the
anne ndment OF existing laws prohib-
iting the bureau from supplying mer-
chant ships with all necessary sail
ing data. An appropriation Of 100000
a year for Ave years, the admiral
says, would be sufficient to cover all
needs and would place the American
navy and merchant marine in an in
dependent position SO far as hydr-
graphic charts are concerned.
