Extending THE TIME

From fret to last this country has

have gone as direct gifts Large sums
have been provided to tide over situa-
lions with the expectation that they will
come day be repaid.

money for the wheat at the time and ii

for this government to insist upon its

CUTTING THE ARMY AND NAVY.

Tremendous sums have been paid by
This government in the past several
years for army and navy purposes. Nat
urally such staggering amounts are
bound to get attention when it comes to
cutting down expenditures. There is
iestre to reduce taxation as much as
possible and in order to do that there
must be curtailment Of federal expen-
ditures. If we are not going to retrench
then we must expect that taxation will
continue without much change, or only
such change as would be expected to fol-
low the Improvement in the economic sit
uatiou.
When Il comes to cutting the fedora.
expenditures It is to be realized that re-
gardless Of the Importance of our de-
partments Of defense It cannot be ex-
pected that they will be allowed a greater
sum than is actually needed to properly
look after those duties for which they
are maintained. The war is over and
they are not to be maintained on a war
basis any longer at this time.
And yet when 1t comes to reducing the
number in the army and navy and cur
falling the appropriations for pay, equip

That good judgment directs that it be
done with full regard for the service that

II will hardly be wise to totally disre-
gard those experts who are in touch with
military and naval conditions, who look
beyond today In providing the national
safeguards and yet It is not to be ex-
pected that congress will be carried
away by the enthusiastically inclined, OIL
hose who are advocating large forces or

personal interest. It Is to be expected
that the army and navy must receive g

DANGEROUS oBsrRUcT1oN1srs.

President Harding and Secretary
Hughes are reported as being Indignant
over the charge that has been made in
the senate that a secret pact has been
made between this country and Great
Britain In connection with the four
power treaty. Is there any wonder that
they take such an attitude? Is there any
reasonable ground for surprise when the
White House declares it to be outrage
Gus and unthinkabie?
The tactics which have been employ
ed in this connection are such as to
arouse indignation among many others
than the president and the secretary of
state and If there was any question
about the ratification of the treaty such
Efforts should only hasten and assure ia
vorable action.
When senator's resort to the use of
statements Of others, which statements
are in fact repudiated by the one to
whom they are attributed, 1t shows the
desperate measures to which they are
willing to resort and the misrepresenta-
hon upon which they are depending to
influence action against an international
agreement drawn in the interest of peace
and for the welfare Of this and other ma
lions Reliance upon a baseless speech,
II It was a fact that such a speech was
made as 1t Is claimed proves nothing. At
torney Cravath has denied that he said
what was attributed to him that he had
been told that there was any secret I'M
derstanding OF that he knew of such and
the result is to make the treaty opposi-
ton a greater shambles than ever, but
Il has shown how willing the Borah
crowd is to discredit not only the dele
gates Of their own country but to eneour-
age others who attended to. think that
they had been hoodwinked at the WASH
ingten conference, and upon what fimsy
foundation they are making their fight.
This Is the second time that Secretary
Hughes has felt it necessary to deny
the truth of assertions that were made
by opponents Of the treaty in their ef-
fort TO block ratification. 1t is a kick
that should amount to a boost and tht
revelation should brand them hencefortt
IN their tactics Of obstruction.

INCENbIARY FIRES.

Attention cannot fail to be directed to
the conditions which were disclosed to
the firemen at the Hertz building in
Thames street Tuesday night and which
in the opinion of Chief Stanton indicated
that the fire was of incendiary origin.
Decidedly suspicious is the evidence to
the effect that fires were found on three
floors at the same time in a concrete
building.
The situation would appear to be such
as to warrant the taking of all necessary
steps to determine if possible the origin
of the fires, who was responsible for
them and whether there was malicious
intent Deliberate destruction of the
property of another is a serious matter.
1t is bad enough when fires are started
| through carelessness but when such an
act is intentionally committed it is time
that every effort was made to locate the
responsible person or persons and see
that the penalty prescribed in such eases
Is applied.
| 1t cannot be toe fully realized that
there is much more at stake under such
circumstances than the property direct
ly concerned. Whether fire is started
|
not only that property Immediately in
volved but all that the flames can reacf
before the firemen arrive, all that smok,
and water are bound to damage and al
that that adjoins, should a fire be 81
| well kindled that unusual efforts on TIL
part of the fighters are required to re
strain it.

menace to any community. If in hi

NO coNsIDERATToN FoR PUBLIC.

The issuance of an order for the sus-
pension of work in all union coal mines
OF the country at midnight on March
S1st comes as bit Of surprise. Con-
corning the bituminous field it was to
be expected. There the operators had re-
fused to keep their agreement to confer
with the miners regarding an agreement
to replace the one which expires this
month, but with the anthracite opera
tors it was different. They have receiv-
ed the demands of the miners and have
indicated what they believe should be
concerning the production Of coal and It
has not been declared that they could
not come to an agreement.
Calling a strike under those condi-
tons, even though it may not be posi-
BILE to reach an agreement before the
first of April, amounts to but little more
than the raising of a club over the heads
Of the operators and the public by the
head 0 fthe miners organization,
Under the conditions it is difficult for
the consumer to get much consolation
out Of the situation. When a strike of
miners is called it means a suspension
| Of operations by all those who respond
to the call. Suspended operations means
| that production is bound to be curtailed
and that the surplus of bituminous and
| anthracite coal on top of the ground
must be drawn upon and increased eff
| forts put forth in the non-uRion fields.
If there is enough to tide over the time
necessary to reach a new agreement
without affecting the price to the con-
sumer he will be fortunate. If there
isn't he will be obliged to meet the sit
uation the best he can and to pay what
ever is demanded as the result Of short
age conditions. It is a situation which
has long existed and toward the relief Of
which there appears to be no very great
strides being made. The inconsiderate
treatment of the public seems certain to
continue as long as 1t will tolerate it,
