Senator Smoot, one of the most level
headed Republican senators at Wash
ington. is quoted as voicing the opin-
ion that 1t would be an act OF folly
on the part of the administration to
press the ship subsidy bill at the ex-
ira session of congress. The reasons
he gives are, first, that it would mere
ly heighten the animosity of the west
ern farmers; second, that it would be
a futility, since the bill cannot possi-
bly, pass the senate before March g.;
and, third. that the effort would so
tangle up the public business that the
appropriation bills could not all get
thru, and that then the president
would be compelled to summon the
new congress before the end Of the
fiscal year. Thus the promise of a
rest for the country could not be kept,
and the president would have an un-
ruly congress on his hands at the very
time when he was hoping to remove
from the path of industrial recovery
ths obstacles of needless and disturb
ing legislation. Senator Smoot's views
probably will be endorsed by a large
majority OF the citizenry OF this coun-
try.

have been merely political strategy to
meet the Republican taunt OF e1ces-
sive southern dominance in a Demo-
cratic congress. and to give better
chance to the considerable number
of Democratic representatives who
were showed UNDER in 1920. Only
the freshmen insurgents will be
much interested in the change pro-
posed.
The notion that more effective lead
ership would result from IL with 5u-
dicious use OF the helm by a steering
committee is rather curious. Not by
any device can you lead men who re-
fuse to be led. Whatever friction is
felt under the seniority rule would
probably be increased. Senators
whose superiority is not so evidenr
to the majority as to themselves would
be disappointed and sulk. Chairman

THE sENIoRITY RULE.

NATURALLY enough says the Chi
cago News. "the question OF abrogat-
ing or disregart1ing the seniority rule
in designating committee chairmen in
congress has been revived as a result
OF the politically disturbing recent
election"
NATURALLY enough" probably be-
cause the Bull Moose, flushed with
victory. are not willing to wait on the
ordinary course OF events to obtain
the chairmanships of important COM
1nittees- They want these chairman
ships now
It is true that under the seniority
rule Senator La Toilette stands next
IN line for the chairmanship of the
Interstate commerce committee. 1t is
true, also that Senator Borah stands
next in line for the chairmanship Of
the foreign relations committee. But
these gentlemen and their Bull Moose
brethren are unwilling to await their
regular turn. They have axes that
need grinding. Senator La Toilette

right to select who their candidates for
the different offices shall be, thus taking
this power from the professional polltl-

HUGHES URGES
NAVY ON RATIO
SET BY TREATY
Writes Massachusetts, Con-
gressmn Personnel of 67,-
600 Is Not Sufficient.
BY rnsernstionsI News Services.

To maintain the United States
navy at strength below that an.
thorised by the naval limitation
treaty of the Washington conferences
would be Injurious to the interests
OF the country. Secretary of State
Hughes declared today. In a letter to
Congressman Rogers Rep) of Mas.
sachusetts.
Rogers had asked the Secretary to
give his opinion of the adequacy of
the personnel of $1,000 contemplated
by the navy appropriation bill rc.
ported to the House.
$1,000 Not Enough, He Says.
Secretary Hughes said he had con.
suited with the officials who advised
the American delegation during the
armament conference and had been
advised by them that personnel of
81 900 was far below that required
to maintain the navy on the basis
contemplated by the treaty"
He said IL was a question OF decid-
ing whether or not the American
navy was to be reduced below the
treaty standard"
What was the purpose of the con.
ference If II was deemed 20 be wise
policy to cut the navy irrespective
OF the agreement with the other
powers7" Secretary Hughes asks.
by agreement of the naval powers
construction programs were virtually
abandoned and limitations were
fixed. II would be truly extraordl.
nary and manifest reflection upon
the work of the conference IL tho
navy of the United States were re-
duced below the standard thus es>
tablished.
"The American delegation were
able to effect an agreement in this
difficult and important matter be.
cause they asked for limitation in
proportion TO existing naval strength.
A very large reduction was Chus 'af-
fected while national security was
left unimpaired. To alter that rela,
ton would be a very serious matter
for the United States, both impair
ing it's prestige and putting its Sc
curity in jeopardy.
Urges Ratio Be Maintained.
The American delegation deemed
IL 20 be essential that they should
stand inflexibly for the ratio shown
by existing strength. and that they
insisted upon a replacement sched.
ule which would give equality with
Great Britain and ratio of b-3
with Japan. This result was
achieved We should have taken
wholly indefensible position had
we asked for less. But of what
avail are this labor and success IL
the navy is not kept up to an
agreed standard?
'T trust that adequate personnel
will be supplied TO maintain the
eighteen battleships which the
United States is entitled TO keep
together with the auxiliaries that
would appropriate to such fleet.
OF course. fully accept the view
that the navy on the reduced basis
should be highly efficient"
