Months were spent, no expense

BORAH AND HIS JUDGMENT

While Senator BOraE 'is fully entitled
10 retain his own Judgment in every
matter that comes before the Senate. he
must concede the same privilege to
everyone else. In trying to rush
p>licy before he new administration
has assumed the re!ns. NJ. Borah seems
TO be in TOO much OF hurry.
The desire of most senators and rep
rescntatives 70 wait until after Mr.
Harding's inauguration before taking
this matter up Systematically. is not
due 10 a desire 10 kotow TO tn" new
President 1t cannot be overlooked
however. that IN very short time Mr.
Harding will be president as we'll as the
leader Of the party which VIII bc in full
control OF all national affairs. No ac-
ton should be taken by Congress now
that would tie his hands. o. prevent
him from formulating policies.
This applies especially 10 the subject
of armament reduction. which Senator
Borah is streuuously urging. The rest
OF the world recognizes Mr.. Harding as
the representative Of the wishes of tho
American people. endorsed unmistak-
ably at the last election. All the Euro
pean powers are awaiting an expression
Of his Intentions. They would look
with suspicion on a program outlined
for him by the present expiring Con
gress.
When Mr.. Hard.Lg has taken up the
duties Of his office. he will ia all prob
ability invite the other nations to- Il
conference on ornaments. such a COP
ference cannot be- expected to be love
feast or child's play. II will involve the
national safety and good faith OF every
country. and before it is over. every
diplomatic big gun in the world will be
called into action. America must 60
into that conference with the strongest
possible position. If We were already
committed to radical naval reduction
our position would be weak. Instead of
following our example. other nations
might present plausible reasons why
they could not do SO.

Won TIRPITZ FOR BATTLE
SHIPS

German naval men. as we'll as those
OF other countries. are sharply divided
over the relative value OF hattlcshtps
- and submarines. Admiral Won Scheer
who commanded the German fleet at the
battle Of Jutland. is. singular as Il may
seem. a strong partisan OF the subma
rine. while Admiral Won Ttrpitz. who
was at the head Of the German navy
department during the greater part Of
the war and was regarded as the insp.-
ration and champion OF the submarine
campaign. now comes out strongly in
favor OF the battlesh!p.
Won Scheer's CHIEF contentious are:
That surface ships are tremendously
expensive and yN: very vulnerable: that
a great surface fleet can no longer pro-
test q coast or overseas commerce: that
submarines can best defend or attack n
, coast and can best protect or destroy
rtcommcrce: that submarine navy VIII
enable comparatively weak nation To
pursue an overseas policy. without a
surface fleet
Won Tirpiz argues. on the other
Hhand. that tho peculiarltics Of the
world war have given the submarine Il
Rf eater importance IMAM - "tETlul''i

with them. Also, that while IN" sub
marine has been developed rapidly. the
means TO combaS II are perhaps keep
ing race. The submarine. he says. has
added TO the other naval forces. but has
net supplantcd them.
While Won Scherr's premises ruay all
be correct. they DO not lead u the COR
