FOOLISH CONCENTRATION"

A REACTION against the multiplication
"A of Cabinet Offices is discernibIe in the
report that Walter +. Brown chairman Of
the Congressional Commtter on Rcorgani-
zation, is preparing to recommend the con
solidation of the War and Navy Depart
ments BY such an Arrangement the crca
tion OF the Department Of Public Welfare
would leave the total Of Cabinet positions
precisely what it is now. That anything
more than this would be gained by the mer.
ger is inconCeiyabe
The unweldness Of combined military
and naval department became manifest
more than a century ago. Henry Knox was
the departmental head of both branches of
the service in 1889. But no sooner was the
navy revived in consequence Of the brief sea
war with France about a decade later than
the necessity of creating a new office was
realized. Appointed by John Adams. Ben
Jamin Stoddert became the first Secretary
of the Navy in 1I9S.
The fusion Of the two great departments
at this late day is fool idea. If the De-
partment of Public Welfare Is worth con-
structing it should be allowed to stand on its
own merits, regardless of other "conceutrn =
don proposals.

THE END?

NNHE course of the Soviet experiment in
l. Russia has been such in recent months
as 10 promise something terrible and un-
expected in the way Of closing denouc-
ment. But since ordinary observers are
without the imagination Of Poe. current
tidingS from the Soviet strOngholds come
with suggestions of unlocked for tragedy.
At Moscow, il appears. new divisions of
shock troops are being hurriedIy formed
Only the best soldiers are chosen for these
units, and they are being heavily armed.
And what are these shock troops for? Not
10 fight Poland this time, and not 10 put
down revolution, but 10 protect Moscow
and PetrOgrad against the hordrS of starving
Russians who are advancing in Il delirium
Of hunger from the famine districts. -
1t is unfair to blame the Sovicts wholly
for the present famine in Russia Large
areas Of the country have been blighlcd by
an almost uncxampled drought. Crops have
failed There has been no rain. Seeds have
witherrd in the ground. But the famine
regions are but Il small part Of Russia
Under normal conditions il is probable that
the Russians would be able to take care of
each other without asking help OF the ont
side world. But agricultural production has
been at low cbb everywhere in the country
and the railway system has broken down.
The shadow Of acute famine will for n time
hide the Sovets and all their errors. and
when il passes and the world looks again
the Soviets probably will have vanished.

The HOPE OE THE WORLD

WHILE President Harding. talking at
w Plymouth. Mass, Yesterday, was ex
pressing the belief that thH international
conference for disarmament will carry the
world nearer to permanent peace. Bonomi,
the Italian Premier. was announcing that
Italy "heartily accepted the invitation to
participate Mobs demonstrating against
militarism were being cut down by the
police in the streets Of Toxic And the
signs were plentiful to indicate waning
courage and waning strength in the jinGoes
who of late have been hoping to get full
control of Europe.
Mr.. Harding may we'll hope for some
successful outcome Of the conference. The
world hopes with him. What is more. it
expects and it demands The wise Govern
ments are those which realize fully the ex-
tent of the responsibilities and the oppor-
tunities that will confront them at Wash
ington.
The President was tactful in his refer
"nc"s to the purpose of the conference. but
he was at the same time Shrewd. What he
said was for all people everywhere to read
lie virtually said to the people of the Old
World that n way is open to world peace and
that the Government which does not take it
is the Government which has reasons of its
own for prcfcrring war.

the main observance was reserved for this

dovetaiing of dates with the major spec

years Of American independence to fall back

The temptation to be dilatory is some-
times difficult to resist. But Philadelphia
in this instance at least should rise superior
to such prcCcdents. The first centennial
exposition CommCmorated century with
commendnble punctuality. The obligation to
be on time for the next anniversary is press
ing. The exercises in New England are not
an excuse, but a warning.

CARUSO

TNIIE adulation which has been the portion
of nearly all great tenors fails to cover
the unique position won by Enrico Caruso
before his world wide public. Recognition
of his extraordinary vocal equipment was
unqualified. but in addition to this, and
especially in America, his second home, his
ever boyish and unaffected personality won
the tribute of genuine friendship and sym
pathy.
1t has never been said of Caruso that he
was in the least degree mean spirited or
small in his relations to fellow artists. Prob
ably no tenor in the operate chronicle ever
attained so high an average of punctualty.
The occasions on which Enrico Caruso
pleaded Sudden indispoSition' as an
excuse for non appearance have seldom been
recorded.
