Must De I,end on Officers.
In the War and Navy departments
the civilian secretaries are absolutely
dependent upon the officers Of the
services for views on fleet and army
necessities, and also for knowledge of
the capabilities Of this officer Or that
officer who is suggested for promo
ton. In one Of these latter cases,
however, it is said that 1t is better to
have a civilian secretary than a sery-
ice secretary. A civilian>is removed
from the influences of factionalism
which sometimes exists in the ranks
of the army and naval officers. W
A great deal of interest centers to-
day in just what Herbert Hoover in
tends to do In the Department of Com
merce. Some one, more or less "mean-
minded" perhaps, has said recently
that the only time the Department of
Commerce has made itself ut all prom
inent before the people was when the
Eastland overturned in the Chicago
river and something like a thousand
persons lost their lives. At that time
there was a public controversy be-
tween the officials of the Department
of Commerce on the one hand and the
officials of other branches of the gov.
eminent on the other, and the whole
affair was ventilated In the press Of
the country.
Mr.. Hoover's plan for charging the
field Of his department has not yet
been made public. =

stands the temperament Of navy men,
knows their service views, and also
knows all about the jealousy and the
spirit of factionalism which on some
occasions protrude themselves during
the course of any administration.
In the Army and Navy departments
OF the government the secretaries may
believe themselves to be the directors
in-cbief, but they. never are so in
truth. For the first time in a long
while there are a secretary of war
and secretary Of the navy who have
been members of the armed forces,
both of them having served as sailor
men. Neither of the secretaries. how
ever, was long enough in the service
thoroughly to become a part of it in
being and endeavor. So to all intents
and purposes Secretary Weeks and
Secretary DENLY are landsmen and
civilians, and they, like former secre-
taries, must turn to service man for
advice and guidance. ... = -.
1t readily can be seen why civil
ian secretary Of war or. secretary of
the navy cannot act as independently
Of influence as can an attorney gen.
eral or secretary of the treasury,
or as some of the other secretaries for
that matter. The attorney general
always is a lawyer, and he can pass
on cases as a lawyer and he does not
have to ask his subordinate lawyers
in the department whether this is
good laV or that is good law. The
secretary Of the treasury always
either is a banker. or a fnancier and

that is dWelt upon simply is that Mr..

three men into his official family who
ultimately were not invited to enter.
1t is altogether: too early to tell
what Mr. Hughes intends to do along
the lines of foreign relations. AS the
country generally knows, the new Sec
rotary Of state before he accepted the
proffer of the office made it plain that
ne desired to have, so far as possible,
a free hand in directing the foreign
policy of the country. OF course Mr..
