w ing's views were disclosed at the
White House following a regular cab
met meeting which discussed at some
length the proposal recently urged by
Secretary Of State Hughes that mem

The President thinks very favorably
Of Secretary Hughes recent sugges-

members of the cabinet be permitted
to speak In both houses of congress
and keep in closer touch with the leg

The President let 1t be known, fol-
lowing the cabinet meeting, that he
shares the unanimous judgment of his
cabinet that an arrangement whereby

One in Every Seven Officers Must &C

n PPROXIMATELY one in every
"a seven officers in the regular army
must be turned out into civil life by
January 1 next, according to pre-
liminary estimate made at the War
department of the effect of the COM
promise reached by senate and house
conferees on the army appropriation
bill
The unofficial study of its provisions
indicates that 1000 or more officers
must be dropped entirely within the
next six months.
OF those officers to go the great
majority will be from the line and
many others probably will be denoted

tides for a total of not exceeding 12,-
700 officers after January /, 1923.
There are now in the service 1892
officers of all grades.
The following reductions in totals
n present strength must be made un-
der the bill Of January 1: Colonels,
100; lieutenant colonels, "a; majors,

Frelinghuysen's

D ROADENING of the powers of the
- tariff commission to recommend
to congress rates of duty based on the
difference in conversion" costs in
this country and abroad was advo-
Gated by Senator Frelinghuysen of
New Jersey, a Republican member of
the finance committee in a speech in
the senate. He introduced his bill in
the form of an amendment to the
pending tariff measure.
Senator Frelinghuysen declared that
his plan, advocated by an organiza-
tion composed of manufacturers, farm
organization leaders and others, would
insure scientific tariff making. He
said that the pending bill, although
he had hand in drafting it and favors
1t, Is not a scientific measure.
Under the terms of the Frelinghuy-

AS the bill is read at the War de-
partment authority is given either TO
carry 800 officers and extra numbers
in grade until absorbed by the natural
losses in each grade or to denote that
number one grade each. .
Recent annual examinations ar
known to have disclosed the effect.
of strenuous service and heavy respon-
sibilities in France in the physical
condition of many older officers. 1t is
regarded as likely that such men will
be retired for physical disability, al
though their knowledge and expert
ence gained overseas Is of the great
est value to the army.

to congress whenever matters Of In
terest to their departments were un.
der discussion and have the right to
speak from the floor, would be very
gratifying.
In the Presidents opinion such an
arrangement would contribute to
speeding up the action of the legisla-
tive branch. If the privilege of ad-
dressing congress at opportune times
when important legislation was under
discussion should be given to cabinet
members, the President believes many
misunderstanding would be avoided
and the harmonious relations between
the executive and legislative branches
enhanced.
There is bill pending which would
provide tina. members of the cabinet
should attend congress In group on
stated days each week. This the Pres
ident and his advisers think imprac-
ticable, but they do believe that con-
gress will readily grant the authority
for cabinet members to appear on the
floor when desired by members.
The President has been receiving
communications from individuals ask
ing him to censor cabinet officials in
their public speeches, Secretary
Weeks recent addresses being used
as the basis for these requests. Mr..
Harding insists that the present Chief
Executive will WELD no censorship
over the members of his cabinet
