ARMY POSTS.

Congress. in its desire to make a
good showing for economy, wants
to make a drastic cut in the size
oi the United states army.
Secretary Weeks, not unwilling TO
economic but differing with Con-
gress as to the number of troops
required, has hit upon a telling op-
position argument.
He gives the congressman to un-
derstand that if the army is reduc-
ed as they demand, it will mean
the abandonment of various mill
tary posts scattered around the
country. That hits Congress
where ii lives. Every attempt ever
made to reduce the number OF
army posts has met with the i'm
placable opposition Of the local
community and the local congress-.
men.
The general public, recognizing
the human appeal Of this argu-
ment 10 localities affected, also
recognizes that it has nothing at
all to do with the main question,
which is how many soldiers are ac-
tually needed by the country for
federal policing and national de-
Tense. The general public, too,
sees that this very army post ques-
tion is one that ought to be de-
tcrmined on lines far broader than
those of mere local interest.
Scattering the army in small
units all oveE TBS country not only
means Il lotxof unnecessary expense
in itself. but it means n loss of ef-
ficient training and strategic value.
1t is about time 10 inquire whether
the army posts are maintained for
the army or the army is maintain
ed for the ..rny posts.

THE BUSINESS OF ALL.

With new educational and nplsft
movements being started all the
time, the National Economic Or
ganization may attract less atten-
ton than it deserves. This body,
with g. backing of prominent fl
nanciers and business men, plans a
campaign Of national education on
present economic conditions and
their solution. 1t will try to bring
TO the American people, through
press, platform and public exhibits,
"a better understanding Of econom-
ic questions such as taxation, tariff
and European readjustments, to the
|cnd that sound legislation may be
promoted and unsound proposals
defeated.
Nothing is more needed at the
present time. Never have economic
p
problems been so big and complex
Iand the need of understanding SO
widely felt. And unfortunately it
Happens that the economic discus
sions which reach the biggest audi
Iences are usually those Of polfti-
clans, who are not thoroughly
equipped, for handling such topics,
and whose primary interest is not
a scientific and lasting solution but
their own reelection to office or
the fortunes Of tteir own party.
The very word Economics" has
a highbrowish, and repellent sound
/; to most people. Wfat@it means is
simply the business of all Of us,
and what the economists aim at
; is better business and more COM
fort in the material things Of life
through intelligent understanding
- -. l..t,
and organized action.
With politically disinterested ex-
perts handling economic problems,
there is a better chance of getting
somewhere The plan is funda-
mentally simple The promoters,
realizing that Congress fails to
/! deal adequately with pressing
problems, propose to. educate the
public and trust to the public
eventually to bring pressure to bea1
on Congress in the right directions.
1t is sound enough. provided the
promoters themselves can keep
clear of all suspicion Of personal
or partisan bias.

the House fumbied it, unblushingly
adding s15.ooo.o0o to the outlay
which Budget Director Dawes had
set down as the maximum and
which the committee had recon-
,rserded. Naturally porcine cries
flew thick and FAST in the debate.
