battleships. And while under. the in
ffuence of this bureaucratic, Danielsistic
hypodermic the Republican House
swallowed the whole departmental
sleeping potion-hook, bait and
sinker. 1t practically ignored sub
marines and air forces. 1t provided a
one-idea, one-plane navy in a three
idea, three-plane era! To be sure, it
did arouse itself sufficiently from the
effects of Mr.. Daniels's naval knock

from the total appropriation, which
provided for the biggest ancient navy

Senate Committee Succunnbs
And SO this stunted, ill-conceived
out of date bill went to the Senate
The bureaucrats rallied once more to
its defense. They struck up again the
1916 chorus. They held the department
telescope as usual, wrong end to, glued
against the eye Of the Senate commit
tee. The testimony was purged as far
as possible of modern ideas. Not one
submarine expert, not one naval avia-
tor, was permitted to appear before the
Senate! Naturally the Senate, being
deaf to any sound except the vociferous
bureaucratic sextet and staring blindly
through the inverted telescope, sue
cumbed to the charms of the Navy De-
partment opera company.
But little bit of modern testimony
dated 1921 squeezed its way rudely into
the proceedings, and the Senate COM
mittee finally discerned in the dim dis
lance through the bureau lorgnettes
certain wiggling germs of moderA
navy-auemarines and airplanes. And
so the Senate, in a temporary rally
from its naval stupor, injected into the
ancient measure a provision for air.
plane carriers and a few submarines.

No Submarine Nor Air Forces

In the original draft of this bureau
cratic, five-year-old literary navel
paralytic there was only a microscopic
provision for new weapons-subma-
rines and air forces. Even an intelli-
gent layman, studying and noting the
record of submarines in the World War
and the rapid advances in aviation
since the armistice, could plainly see
the handwriting on the naval wall
But the Navy Department, with its
head buried in the sands of conserva-
tism, la ostrich, with only a tiny
little short-range periscope sticking up
into the light of modern naval world,
could see little, if anything 1t was
like holding telescope with it's big
end to a blind eye. Submarines, air.
planes, torpedo planes, bombs, mines
and other modern bothersome contrap-
tions that have appeared to disturb the
sweet serenity of comfortable naval
routine looked very petite = far, far
away---to the naval bureaucrat. And
he sat and smiled peacefully content

And so when the Republicans came
into office the same old Daniels, near

ting on the lid, complacently placed
the navy telescope wrong -end-to
against the astigmatic eye of the new
Administration and turned on the

A Helpless One-Plate Fleet

Unfortunately the Senate was too
late, and it sat ridiculously astride
the naval fence, one leg 1.-THE
short one) on the modern side and
the other on the ancient side. It was
position of unstable equilibrium. It
involved 100000 900! The House re-
belied. 1t practically cut out the SEN
ate's tardy and tiny injection of mod
ern tonic. The bureaus win! Con-
servatism triumphsl
The naval bill as finally passed is in
truth a sorry hodgepodge. 1t gives us
big surface navy, a one-plane fleet
only this, and nothing more
With no fleet submarines, no cruis-
ing submarines, no mine-laying sub
marines and a pitifully small air
force this Democratic one-idea navy
is helpless in modern war. 1t cannot
take the offensive! 1t must stay at
home for protection! This is the hui
initiating price of naval conservatism.

An Obstinate Macy Department

Unhappily, there has been conclusive
evidence of an unyielding spirit of con-
seryatism at the Navy Department of
late. Bureaucracy has set heavily
upon the lid of naval advancement. In
the naval bill originally submitted to
Congress by the Daniels regime there
was an utter absence of progressive
ness. 1t was built upon the past. 1t
ignored the present, and still more the
future. 1t provided 1851 navy
not a 1921'25 navy. 1t practically
ignored the lessons of the World War.
1t did not provide modern weapons.
Although it sought, in ponderous
phrases, to prove it's grasp of the
naval situation, there was seen through
the fog Of it's ancient arguments only
faint glmmer of modern con-
ceptions. 1t was practically rehash
of sterile ideas and worn-out plati-
tudes about "battleships," "backbones,"
command Of the sea-" ETC., etc.

BRITAIN SAYS HOME RULE ACT
 BENEFIT IRISH

DUBLIN, March 15 (by Associ- ated Press) An intensive campaign of publicity to convince the people of the south of Ireland that it would be to their advantage to accept the new home rule bill act will be launched shortly.
 Opposition to the measure, center ing in the south, is believed in off cial circles to be due largely to ignor- ance of the powers conferred by it's provisions. Sir Hamar Greenwood, the chief secretary, is said to be de- termined that everyone the length and breadth of the island shall have full opportunity to study the law.
 Thousands of copies of the act have been printed for gratuitous cir CulatiOn. The country will be flood ed with these circulars accompanied by a memorandum explaining the eff feet of the measure. Particular eff forts will be made to see that the publicity reaches persons in position to influence public opinion. Copies will be mailed to school teachers, priests and others prominent in com munity life It is planned to make the campaign an effective weapon directly aimed at the Sim Fein movement
 No important section of Irish opin- ion has shown any willingness thus sar to regard the act as even basis for peace negotiations with the British officials.
 All southern parties object to parti- tion and, while willing to accord separate treatment to northeast Ulster, object to a separate and equal parliament for that section. The northeast Ulster men are equal ly determined in their position and declare they will oppose such exten- sion of the powers of southern Ire land as would enable it to set up a tariff either England or Ulster.
 The publicity campaign is expected by the British authorities to clear up many of the sectional differences by giving the people a thorough explan- ation of the exact powers and require. ments for which the act provides.

MOSCOW, Idaho, March Is (by As soCiated Press) ).--That great Eodies of gold and silver ere lay in the mountainous regions of south central Idaho awaiting only adequate traus- portation facilities to make the min. ing of them possible and profitable, is the essence of a bulletin issued by the Idaho state bureau Of mines and geology The bulletin covers the mountainous territory known as the Thunder mountain, Big creek, Stanley basin, Sheep mountain and Seafoam districts and which comprise one of the most inaccessible sections of the state.
