pupils in the school system Of an, age

Length of the Session.

After digesting the Christmas turkey
and otherwise refreshing itself at the
home fireside, Congress will resume
its knitting January 8. Allow them at
least ten days for shaking down pur-
poses. and the middle Of that month is
reached.
Between that time and the middle Of
June-the time suggested for final ad.
journment-five months will pass.
Can the business Of the session be
transacted satisfactorily in that space?
To accomplish the task Congress will
have to hump itself
Much will depend on the course pur-
sued by the opponents Of the pacts the
President will submit to the Senate
growing out Of the armament confer
ence. If they are made subjects of
partisan contention; if they are re-
sisted with view of making party
capital for next year and for 1924
much time will be consumed The
supporters Of the pacts cannot decline
battle it offered. They must see the
pacts through. no matter what meas
ures are delayed or how long the ses-
sion is protracted.
The routine should not be hurried.
It is more important than for years.
The Army bill and the Navy bill must
be considered in connection with our
new world relations. and there are
other supply bills carrying features
growing out of the war and the efforts
to regain stability.
1t is important that Congress get
away as early in the summer as pos
sible. but it is also important that it
turn out none but wholesome and
helpful legislation and take all the
time necessary to make such record.

Though the announcement Of this
competition has been delayed beyond
the opening Of the conference on
limitation Of armament, there Is no
loss Of tima or Of interest In the sub
ject. The children Of the public
schools have been systematically
studying the news reports Of the con-
ference from its beginning. The teach

reports on the subject from them. So
that the pupils are well versed in the

the time the conference is at an end
they win be prepared to express them

The Naval Holiday Assured.

Announcement that the united
States, Great Britain and Japan have
reached a complete agreement on the
proposed naval ratio in reduction Of
armament does not come as sur
prise in any sense, but is nevertheless
most gratifying. 1t is the second
definite achievement Of the arms
limitation conference, the first having
been the negotiation of the four-power
treaty. 1t is not yet complete, as the
ratio for French and Italian naval
power remains to be determined. But
no difficulty is likely in the case Of
those two nations, as their case is not
complicated and they are in agree
ment. being mutually satisfied with
naval equality.
When Secretary Hughes Laid the
cards on the table, at the first session
Of the conference it was inevitable
that an agreement should be reached
short Of an absolute declaration Of
hostility of purpose on the part Of one
or another of the represented powers.
The wise course was pursued Of pro-
ceeding to eliminate the possible
causes Of conflict in the far east which
alone might conceivably justify the
maintenance Of large naval establish.
ments. AS this was being worked out
the naval ratio question was also being
developed to the point Of agreement.
Japan's acceptance Of the so.called
$50 ratio is conditioned upon the re-
tention of her latest naval creation,
the Mutsu, which represents in jap
anese eyes the climax Of the inventive
ness and skill of that people. With a
wise degree Of consideration the Brit
ish and American representatives have
yielded on this point. effecting a re-
vision of the details in q way to leave
all three powers in the same relative
position when the naval holiday" be-
gins. This accommodation Of ia
pans pride in her latest achievement
is type of the spirit which has made
possible the other adjustments Of the
conference making for peace and good
will between the nations.
Dates for the naval holiday nave
not yet been set. Details remain to be
worked out in addition to the estab-
lishment Of the French-1talian ratio.
Specific definitions Of "scrapping" are
to be framed. Guarantees are to be
provided against possible restoration
of "scrapped" ships to naval commits
sions. Probably each nation will be
left to determine its procedure Of de-
struction or Transformation. There il.
of course, a keen public interest in the
possibility Of salvage. Only technical
opinion is worthy Of consideration in
this matter, but the hope is to be ex-
pressed that some part of the immense
value represented in the ships that are
to be abandoned may be saved to in
dustry.

Redistribution Advanced.

Passage by the House of the Lehl-
bach reclassification bill yesterday
marks the first legislative advance in
a movement which has been pending
for long period. Redistribution of
the government personnel has been on
the way for years. Need Of it was
recognized at least two decades ago,
when discrepancies between various
branches of the service were noted
But the departmental service was
then considered not as q whole, but
rather as q series Of units. and 1t took
time for the concept Of the admins
trative system as a distinct organiza-
ton to develop. The experiences Of
the war period undoubtedly hastened
appreciation Of the fact that efficiency

moreover. dependent not upon the In
dividual standards in the separate
offices. but upon single standard sp-
plying to all.
Redistribution has been made the
subject of study by commission the
result of whose labors appears In the
bill which passed the House yesterday.
There have been various conflicts Of
view on the details. Advocates Of this
or that plan have struggled for pre-
cedence. When the scheme itself was
devised it was found that wide range
of divergent views prevailed, some Of
them inspired by direct personal in
terest, some Of them of an abstract
nature. At one time It seemed hope
less to compromise these conflicts Of
Judgment, but at last q measure has
been shaped and has now passed the
House which provides the Senate with
a working basis for concurrent
enactment.
This measure is not to be confused
in the public mind with what is known
as Reorganization" The latter is an
as yet unformulated project OF re-
grouping the government bureaus into
q more harmonious relationship for
greater administrative efficiency. Re-
classification is simply a question Of
the grouping of personnel. If these
two measures can be adopted the gov
ernment will have for the first time a
businesslike arrangement of it's affairs.
It will have logical and economical
grouping of offices and an equitable
and efficiency promoting grouping Of
workers. Until it gets both it cannot
be regarded as efficient.
