needs to maintain her ratio Of three"
The House committee proposes to give
the Navy only $1,000 men.
That would seem to be q point well
taken, If the facts are as stated. The
House, when the bill comes up for &C.
ton, should go very carefully into de.
tails and pay heed to the advice Of the
technical counselors in the person Of
navel officers and heads Of bureaus.
No one suggests that there obtains
anywhere In Congress q spirit inimical
to the Navy per Sc. The men in Con-
gress who are urging drastic reduc-
tions are as good patriots as any one,
but may it not be possible that they
are not viewing all angles of the case
in proposing an arbitrary figure in per-
sonnel?
If the House fails in vision Of ade-
auacy, the Senate may be expected to
give proper consideration to the ur-
gent representations Of the Navy De-
partment. but why put everything on
the Senate: Leader Mondell earnestly
insists that there is an unusual de-
gree of harmony between the House
and the President on public questions.
but here there certainly is q divergence
Of view. The President does not con
slider $1,000 an adequate figure and
has emphatically warned against the
possibility Of vitiating the ratio fixed
for the United States in the naval
limitation treaty.

Washington. April comes in with loads

soon clear out the belongings left be-
hind by March, and will set things to
rights, using, Of course, her own furni-
f,lre. She will clean up the premises,
hang blue skies above US. put coat Of

Sol, janitor of the universe, to turn

however. France has a definite pro-
gram. 1t may seem that this pro
gram is inspired by anything but
friendly feelings for tht bolshevists,
but at least IL Is the first attempt on
Frances part toward the reconstruc
tion of Russia and the maintenance
of bolshevist rule.
IF the Genoa conference brings
about the recognition of the soviet
government, England will be among
the first to resume normal relations
with the Russian republic. but prob
ably with less enthusiasm than would
have been otherwise the case. The
soviet government has shown that It
is not Indifferent to the prestige of
Russia abroad, and she certainly will
return to her traditional role of op-
position to England as soon as she is
able to resume her activities abroad.
But a bolshevist Russia desirous Of
and capable of, playing an important
part in foreign countries is also open
to alliances. And France is precisely
in a position where IL would be in
her interest to be on friendly terms
with the soviet republic. in which
case the undesirable methods with
which it was founded soon will be

George will retire from office and the

1t was a bold move on the part Of
the prime minister to take the in.
itiative in bringing about a vote OF
confidence, and probably Is unprece-
dented in British history. But this
very boldness may bring victory where
a more timid policy might have even
uated in defeat, for it is deep in Brit
ish nature to love fighting man. Be-
sides, it would be a most serious thing
on the eve OF the Genoa conference
for parliament to repudiate tho gov

sulting either in disruption Of the con.

Rathenau's Enemies.

PARIS.-Germany's foreign minis
ter has many enemies among his own
people, who do not understand his
broad views. L'Europe Nouvelle says
on the subject;
Although Walter Rathenau is the
president of the General Electric
Company. with its capital of 1,10o.-
GOO, 900 marks, he can by no means
count on the sympathy of German in
dustry. He has against him the i'm
pIacable animosity of Hugo SHINES

tries.
'The parties of the right were
trembling with rage when they heard
of the nomination of Rathenau as

church. the Reichsbote, asks how Ger

unheard-of provocation. The Ger

Psychology and Civil Service.

The President is being urged to Sc
lect "a real personnel expert from one
Of the larger business corporations OF
the country to fill the vacant chair in
the Civil Service Commission" In
connection with this news rumor it is
said that mo man has ever held the
position of civil service commissioner

ment based upon the latest develop
ment Of psychology and character
study"
1t seems to fair observers that the
Civil Service Commission has done
very well during its career even
though it has never had the advantage
Of a commissioner trained up as a psy-
chologist. It has developed system
Of selection OF employees which, If not
based on psychology" is at least
based on human experience in dealing
with human beings. It is system
which embodies ages Of experience
with human nature. In results it has
as efficient a body Of work-people as
could probably be got together, con.
sidering certain conditions. and those
conditions arc that government pay is
low, promotion painfully slow and the

hope. The government seems to hold
out no inducements no reward, for
extraordinary endeavor and unusual
efficiency. The only way the ordinary
worker for the government can hope
for more than bare, plain living is to
quit the government service.
The Civil Service Commission can.
not be blamed for this system. 1t
brings into the government service
young, apt and well schooled persons.
As a class these are nightly more
efficient than those brought into the
government service before the enact.
ment Of the civil service law and when
spoils and political favoritism were the
ways to government employment.

salary Of $4,000 as civil service com.
missioner would not attract any of
these men personnel psychologists

might" If the government wants to
run itself in a business way it must
come down, or go up. to the paying Of
business wages. 1t ought not to stoop
to peddle 'hcnors." 1t ought not to
try to attract men to government
work by saying. I'VE can't give you
much OF salary, but just look at the

The Needs of England and France,

STOCKHoLM.-The contrasting at
titude of Great Britain and France
toward both Germany and Russia is
outlined by the Dagens-Nyheter of
Stockholm as follows:
England has need of a recon
structed Germany and politically
weak Russia. France, on the con-
trary, needs a weak Germany and a
reconstructed Russia. The soviet
government will bring about a re-
sumption Of intercourse between re-
convAleseent Russia and France and
will regard England in the future, as
in the past, as Russia's natural rival
in the southwest ana southeast.
"The bolshevik revolution appears
likely to be one of the most important
acquisitions of the war for the Brit
ish empire. The old Russian imperi-
alism had disappeared, giving place
to q peasant republic governed by
small number of social utopists, who
seemed too busy with their projects
Of social reform to have any time to
think Of events beyond the borders.
The fact that certain members OF the
British government actively support

summer of 1920, during the Russian
offensivA against Poland. England
nlayed the part of protector of soviet
Russia by advising Poland to submit
to the concueror's conditions, thus
preparing the peace Of western Eu-
rone under conditions which were
vsry similar to a pure and simple
capitulation in front OF the sovtets.
"AU this time France was adopt
inr an exactly opposite policy ana
was developing such intense hatred
toward the sovlets that 1t seemed
as IL any compromise with the gov
fion. It was not, however, as they
would have had people believe. moral
indirnation against the soviet oppres-
sion which determined this French
policy, but simply the desire to re-
Construct q military powerful Rus
perialist, to be another ally on the
nther side of Germany. For this
reason, the reproaches made against
the English policy for having made
friends with the bloody tyrants OF
Moscow for it's own profit decidedly
were out OF place. II was Jest
natural for England to be pleased
mat bolshevist rule was keeping
Russia politically weak as were the
French attempts to create strong
and powerful Russia.
"What is the present position OF
England and France with regard to
soviet Russia during the preliminary
discussions of the Genoa conference?
france generally is represented as
remaining the implacable enemy of
the soviet government. while England
takes a more conciltatory ATTITUDE IN
the interest of European peace. 1t
seems more probable that the British
governments attitude with regard to

aside the Russian problem in order
