Senate Shows Intelligence

DE- it said to the credit of the Senate,
- whatever other criticisms il may have
justly incurred. it has displayed a higher
and more intelligent conception of the
needs Of national defense in the considera
tion given the army and navy approprin-
tion bills than did the House in its treat
ment Of these measures. The former OF
these bills. both in the personnel allowed
and the amount of the appropriation for
It's support, was cut 10 rdiculously low
levels before it was passed up to the Senate
for its concurrence. While not granting
the full increases asked by the War De-
partment the Senate by large majority
voted for an enlisted strength OF $4,000
above the figures of The pacihst-controlled
House 1000 increase in officers and cor
responding increase in the appropriation
for the support Of the establishment
The naval appropriations bill was dealt
with in a similarly irrational way by the
House. The Senate appropriations subcom-
mittee has just completed its revision of this
bill Under its terms, as revised, work on
all naval vessels permitted the United
states under the arms conference treaty
would proceed at about the present rate
with no reduction Of forces at any Of the
private or government Yards About half
Of the 1872, 900. 900 increases over the House
bin asked by Secretary DENLY we're granted
by the committee. The most important in
crease given was $40 1000 900 for naval con-
srruction, and IN addition the transfer of
Sa,VOo0Oo indebtedness from the Shipping
Board large increase for naval aviation
was agreed TO by the committee. including
SC,537,0O0 Tor aircraft and 100000 for
hangers and buildings The committee also
struck out House provision for the i'm
mediate retirement OF about 2 200 navy Of
hcers ana voted an increase OF $4,000 900

COVE COMMENTS.
BY G.. A. RpnOuf.

Well, the battle is over and
Maury won a Merry fight. So far
as Vashon is concerned, it s anoth-
er case Of united we stand di-
vided we fall. " Or as the French
put it, "Limeon fait la force"
which an Englishman mterprets,
onions are strong" If one of
the Vashon candidates had won,
whether north, south or west, we
would have given Maury the same
attention as without doubt
Maury will give us. In other
words, all we want is square
deal without favor, and that is
what Mr.. Paul has promised us
and | am of the opinion that he
Twill do just what he said. Cove's
vote for Paul was not very compli-
Imentary after the decisive vote he
got in the primaries. But blood is
thicker than water and we must
make allowances. Anyway, Paul
won which is the main point, so we
lean afford to be generous.
