What the Navy Costs.
The Amount Each Citizen Contrib.
utes to Support It.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Catchy
phrases often create public opinion and
rule public action. When they are mis-.
leading, or wholly false, and stand in
the way Of the national good, they
a phrase Is "the crushing weight Of ar
gument." This phrase, in everybody's
mouth. has created a sentiment danger
GUS to our welfare. 1t has no basis in
fact. so far as America is concerned
Nevertheless, 1t has lied loud enough to
deceive a whole people.
During a recent talk with Senator
Borah he used this phrase. as applied to
our Navy. ! asked him II he had ever
calculated how much of q weight the
Navy put upon the individual American.
He said he had not. So calculated It
for him; it appeared that, our naval
budget for 1922 being $425, 200, 900,
the individual Americans crushing
but one cent and one mill a day.
Such was the imperceptible cost OF
the security Of our coasts. Of our de-
tendencies, of our ships at sea and Of
our citizens abroad. AS we'll might one
complain Of the crushing weight of the
daily newspapers or Of the movies or Of
chewing gum. Unconsciously, thought
full and patriotic man, a leader of
thought. had been using as an argu-
ment figure Of speech that Is wholly
false.
Then there Is tho equally fallacious
statement that money spent upon the
Navy is wasted; that warships. for
instance, having mo industrial value"
are waste structures. and should not be
supported. Fire houses and their ap-
paratus. police stations and patrol wag-
ons are waste structures also. but who
would scrap them?
Is 1t less wise to protect our country
from insult, and our coasts from inva-
sion. than the lives and property of our
people from fire and crime?
Still another dangerous fallacy is the
belief that we shall not have another
war. Who is wise enough to know? If
there remains even the faintest possibil-
ity of war In future. isn't It better for
us always to be prepared than to suffer
once? Who. on Christmas Day, 1913.
could have been made to believe that in
five years we should have fought a war
in Europe with 100000 men? Who. in
1922. can say what we shall or shall not
le doing five years hence? We have
treaties, 1t is said. So. also. had Eu-
rope In 1913.
Says Oliver in his Ordeal by Battle" /:
So late as Wednesday. July 29-the day

merely to the ordinary man but equally

the polticians-such things were unthink-
able until they occurred. Unfortunately.

Mayor HYLAN's Board of Estimate is
vexed at the Port Authority because
that body did the only rational and
effective thing that could be done to
prevent change in the site of the city's
potato market, while the city authori-
ties indulged in futile talk. One
trouble at City Hall is that Mayor
HYLAN and his cronies are convinced
that words speak louder than actions.
They are long on talk and short on
acts to back up their words.

Uncle George Aldridge.

Many New York State people
thought of GEORGE w. ALDRIDGE as
very old man. He was not yet 66, but
he had been in public life so long that
It seemed as if he must be ten years
older. He began his politics very
young: so young that, although he
died at a time when he seemed to
have a decade of activity ahead Of
him, he had outlived all the other
great local bosses of this State.
For a generation Uncle GEORGE, as
he was known at home, was the abso-
Lutte political master Of Monroe
county and it's chief city, Rochester.
He was their master in a much
greater sense than CHARLES F. MUIR.
PLY is master of New York, for
MURPHY controls only the Tammany
organization, very vulnerable body
when there is real fusion between
Republicans and independents. AID
RIDGE was the boss of Monroe in the
same complete way that Big TIM
SULLIVAN was the boss OF the Bowery
and that Tom FOLEY is the boss Of
the First Assembly district, and
AIDRIDGE's field was much larger and
more important.
No other leader of a great county
of this State could compare with
Uncle GEORGE in power. Bosses like
BARNES of Albany and GREINER Of
Erie manage to hold their organiza-
tions. Holding his organization was
child's play for ALDRIpGE, for he him
self was the real organization. What
he could do that other bosses could
not do was to hold his city and his
county against the adversary on cleo
tion day, whatever the issue and
whatever the temper Of the country.
Last year, when Albany elected a
Democratic Mayor, Rochester elected
a Republican.
The strength OF ALDRIDGE in his
| own community came not so much
/ from his hold on his own party or
ganization-which was something
long ago taken for granted-but
from his hold on the people Of
Rochester. He was their Uncle
GEORGE, no matter what their poll
tics happened to be. Rochester is
city representing the best things
in American life. 1t is clean. cul-
tured and enterprising. 1t is a par
/ adox of politics that this political
boss helped to make it and keep it
so. If Mayor or a chief of police
| had consented to the existence Of the
dance halls and dives usually found
| in cities the size of Rochester AID
RIDGE would have driven him out of
Office. Rochester was his town and
place to be proud of. He lived
elected to the executive board and
later to the Mayoralty and Rochester
had good reason to give thanks for
his services.
Not that GEORGE ALDRIDGE was an
idealist in politics or in public Office.
He kept to the ancient belief that
the spoils belonged to the victor, and
he kept for his party all the clean
spoils that he could get. These we're
many. thanks TO ALDRIDGE's power
in the politics of the State. He was
a member Of the Republican State
Committee for thirty-four years. His
friendship and advice were sought
by almost every Republican Gov
ernor from MORTON to MILLER. Ma
tional politics knew him as a dele
gate TO every Republican national
convention since 1896. In 1920 he
championed the nbmination of HAIR
DING from start to finish. Probably

Dean Inge on Washington.

In an article recently published in
London Dean INGE Of st. PauPs
Cathedral raises doubts concerning
the character Of GEORGE WASHINGTON
in the matter not only of good taste
but of actual veracity itself. when
I saw the Potomac, which is broad
estuary" remarks the Dean, II re-
called WASHINGTON, boasting that
when he was a youth he threw silver
dollar across it, And then he adds
that he prefers to believe that even
if the veracious GEORGE did not al
ways live up to his reputation" &C.
Coming from so conspicuous an in
dividual as the Dean of st. Pauls,
who has earned in England the popu-
lar title of the Gloomy Dean," this
is a declaration Of more than ordi-
nary interest. That he is able to re-
call that WASHINGTON boasted about
anything is in itself remarkable. Be-
yond all doubt, it is the only instance
on record of GEORGE WASHINGTON hav-
ing INDUCED in Dragging about any
of his exploits, notable as many Of
them undeniably were.
The impression heretofore preva-
lent has been that in youth as we'll as
manhood WASHINGTON was about as
far from being braggart, and, above
all, lying braggart, as could be
imagined. That he should have
boasted of throwing a silver dollar
a mile or so across the Potomac is
still more astounding. The bare
suggestion Is out of character, but
the Deans implication Of shadiness
somewhere in the episode cannot be
escaped.
To be sure, there is legend that at
Fredericksburg, when boy, WASH.
INGroN did throw q projectile across
the river there. But the river at
Fredericksburg is not the Potomac.
1t is the Rappahannock. Moreover,
the legendary projectile was not a
coin of any kind. 1t was a plain
stone. "As a proof of his muscular
power" says WASHINGTON IRVING In
his Life Of Washington" "a place
is still pointed out at Fredertcks-
burg, near the lower ferry, where,
when a boy, he flung stone across
the Rappahannock." The tradition
does not say that GEORGE Dragged
about the feat. 1t does not say that
he ever even mentioned 1t. 1t only
says that he did it.
Now, of course, II GEORGE WASH
INGToN was going to tell humping
lie about throwing a silver. dollar
across the Potomac it was as a basis
for boasting. Undoubtedly it is of
this instance of boasting and devia-
ton from veracity, and not the leg
endary Rappahannock incident, that
the learned divine of st. Paurs has
exclusive information and which he
recalls"
The Dean should tell where his
information about WASHINGTON came
from. Did he accept a popular legend,
based on the Rappahannock incident,
but not related by IRVING, as authen-
tic, disdaining the tiresome and dis
illusioning process of investigation?

THURSDAY. JUNE is. 1922.
Our Sinking Trade Balance.

The fall of American exports in
May to $30S,000,000 from previous
postwar records of two and even
three times as much in value does
not mean corresponding shrinkage
in volume. 1t is in part price defa-
tion which has dragged down the ex-
port dollar marks so terrifcally.
But the fact remains that while
there generally has been price defla-
tion from war levels in foreign
goods as well as in our own goods,
our imports for May and for other
months as expressed in dollar
marks have been not on the descent
but on the ascent. The difference in
monthly trade balance results is
striking. With imports of $254,000,-
900 in May as against the S30S,000,-
900 of exports, the balance in our
favor was $54,000,0 900. A year before
it was $124000.00o. In various
months OF 1890 the balance fire.
Guently was eight times as much, oo-
casionally ten times as much, as the
May balance of this year.
No single month can write the his
tory of foreign trade. But the years
do, and the record of this almost
completed fiscal year takes us back
with a great lurch to the early part
of the war when with submarine raw
ages, sea blockades and lack Of ship
ping our foreign trade problem was
not goods to sell or markets to take
them but the means to transport
them.
For the eleven months of this fiscal
year our exports of s3,436,000.000 are
in startling contrast with s6,179, ,00o,-
600 for the corresponding period end
ing with May, 1921; with STAT, ,000,-
900 in 1920; $6,300,000,000 in 1919;
S5,445, 100000 in 1918, and S5,716,00o,-
900 in 1917. Even for the eleven
months ending with May, 1916, our
exports were S450,O00,000 more than
they have been this year.
There is different story to tell OF
our imports for the eleven months of
the various years. At $2,34S,000, 600
for this year they are down more
than billion dollars from last year
and more than two billions and a
quarter of dollars from year before
last. But they are not far away from
the figures of 1918 and 1917, while
they are 00,000,000 more than In
1916, $3.50 100000 more than in 1915
and $50, 100000 more than before the
war began in 1914.
The trade balance transformation
is astounding.
For the eleven months ending with
May, 1916, the foreign trade balance
in our favor was s1,916.000,000. II
ran up in 1919 as high as $780,
600. 900. went off in 1920 to S2,79S,-
600. 900; still further down in 1921 to
S2,710, 900, ,O00-and now. in one long
deep slide, through the eleven months
of this present year, to the round
numbers Of billion dollars.
II this rate of decrease in our
foreign trade balance does not in
dicate that our costs are still too
high for us to hold our own in the
markets of the world IL is difficult
TO conceive what II does indicate
And the rapidity with which the
trade balance in our favor is being
swept away is the plainest writing
on the international wall that the
rest of the world as whole will
not long be perplexed and distracted
to know how it can pay us at one
and the same time on both its war
debt to US and its trade bills from US
