ME delay of the joint congress

TIME delay Of the joint congress
sional committee on reorgani-
zation of the administrative
branch of the government,
headed by a personal representative
of the President, to make recommen-
dations to Congress has prevented an
important provision in the budget
and accounting act of 1921 from be-
coming operative and has postponed
a regular. continuing coordination
Of the various agencies of the fed
eral government.
Since this reorganization commit
tee was appointed various government
departments have been reorganized
from within, including the Post Office,
Agriculture, Commerce and Interior
Departments Legislation has re-
Gently passed the House reorganizing
the foreign service of the State De-
partment
1t is proboble that the joint COM
mittee when It does report will not
make recommendation covering any
very extensive changes in the exist
ing scheme of governmental activi-
ties. The question of transfer of
certain activities from one depart
ment to another is the principal
| chance that the joint committee has
to propose changes 1t is believed
| that a new Department of Education
and Welfare will be recommended.
The proposal to consolidate the
War and Navy Departments into a
single Department of National De-
fense is not likely to be included in
the committees recommendations.
Such a change could not be effected
without practically a unanimous
agreement in the committee and an
| overwhelming majority in favor of
such a change among the members of
Congress.
But whatever the committee does,
or whatever action Is taken by Con-
| gress following the committees re-
port the movement for reorganiza-
tion of the government in the inter-
ests of economy and efficiency will
not stop. The budget and accounting
act expressly provides that:
"The bureau, when directed by the
President, shall make detailed study

such study shall be embodied in a
report or reports to the President,

report or reports or any part thereof
with his recommendations on the
matters covered thereby"

| HE persistent agitation of certain publi-
cists and groups in various foreign
countries regarding the Japanese
peril is much to be regretted. More
over, those living in Japan and having the
opportunity to know and talk with those lead
ing the armed forces of this country well
convinced that such talk is without founda-
ton.
calm survey of Japanese affairs and the
relation of this country to other nations should
lead all sober thinkers to discountenance the
possibility of Japan becoming an aggressor.
1t is well known that when the 'black
demons of Commodore Perry doomed forth
their demand that Japan open her doors to the
foreign devils Japan had no sembance of
navy. Since that day the main object of
Japan in building navy has been to place
herself par with other nations and insure
her shores against invasion. Continual talk
of possible and the persistence in naval
construction competition naturally spurred
Japan on to greater efforts in this regard.
When the Washington conference was call
ed fear expressed in many quarters that
Japan would not gracefully submit to cur
tailment of her naval ambitions. However. the
results speak for themselves. Not only did
Japan refute the insinuation that she was
plotting foreign aggression, but her hearty
response proved her desire to end never
ending competition on the high seas. The
writer, while visiting the Yokosula naval base
following the September. disaster, has visible
evidence in dismantled warshps that Japan is
living up to her Washington pledges.
Effort to Cut Expenses
There is tendency to believe that Japan
garded the proposed Singapore naval base
direct menace to her national safety; hence her
opposition to the project. However, as result
of personal conversation with the highest
naval and military authorities, the writer is
back Of Japans opposition to the Singapore
base is to eliminate the additional expendi-
lures for national defense which that ambi-
tious British project would necessitate. 1t is
but another phase OF competitive armament
which leads only in an international circle
Wars today decided by resources and
not by the strength of the contending forces
at the outset of the conflict Thus a survey of
Japan's resources should convince any one

of the powers around her. That Japan, with
her large and efficient army and navy could
deal a staggering blow at the outset OF ag-
gressive action is an undisputed fact. How
ever, the conflict dragged on her lack OF
resources in food. oil and other needed sup
plies would cause her own downfall. 1t is
safe to predict that should Japan ever en-
gage in another war it would be as the ally
of another nation which could furnish the re-
sources which she lacks.
Second Russian War Foreseen.
British and American jingoists have been
persistent in their cries that the strengthen
ing of Japan's armed forces during the past
two decades has been aimed at one or the
other of these powers, or their possessions
But the writer knows differently. well
posted Japanese recently told me that ever
since the Russo-Japanese war Japan has look
ed forward to the day when Russia would
seek revenge for what she considered an ig-
noble defeat at the hands of puppet nation.
This Japanese declared that the red
revolution was regarded by Japanese leaders
the only thing which prevented, at least
temporarily, an eventual second Russo-Japa-
nese war, with the odds greatly against Japan.
The war preparations beforehand had been
made with eye to possible Russian aggres-
sion.
In connection with the declaration of war
against Russia, the writer recently was told
a most interesting story which reveals the
true spirit of the Japanese. When the fatal
decision was reached at the imperial Japanese
conference it the unanimous conviction

war had been declared the chief said:
1T is terrible to lead people into this
conflict but rather go down to defeat the
battlefield than be eventually vanquished
otherwise" The "samurai" spirit of defying
defeat or death remains alive in the hearts
of the Japanese, but it is a defensive rather
than an offensive spirit.
That Japan has highly organized and eff
cient army is a well known fact. Conscrip

BUDGET BUREAU TO HAVE
CHARGE OF REORGANIZINC
When Joint Congressional Committee Re
ports and Retires, Budget Will Make
Changes in Departments for Economy.

quires that they shall carry out the
directions given clearly in that para
graph. and that it is high time they
got about il.
The bureau of the budget, when
created, found that there was already
in existence the joint congressional
committee to which had specifically
been assigned the task of Investigate
ing the government organization and
reporting whatever changes might
become necessary for economic and
efficient conduct of federal business.
Therefore, the budget bureau post
poned action until after the congress
sional committee should make it's re-
port and go out of existence.
Upon that event occurring the bu-
reau of the budget will be confronted
with the duty imposed upon it of
recommending what changes should
be made in the assignment Of activ-
tiles to bring about increased economy
and efficiency through the elimination
of Implications, overlapings, etc.
For example. when considering es-
Inmates, if the budget bureau finds
two services working in the same
field it will investigate and report
that in it's opinion economy and eff
cheney would be promoted if the two
services were consolidated and that
all activities of the same kind be in
trusted to a single service instead of
dividing them among two or more
departments.
In other words. the budget and ac-
counting act provides for a continu-
ing agency to keep a watchful eye For
efficient organization. That is some
thing which the United States govern
ment has never had previously.
AS the budget bureau is an agency
of the President the result of its
studies will be reported to him and
on him will fall, and quite properly,
the responsibility for recommending
any change that may be found de-
sirable.
The budget bureau is in a peculiar
ly favorable position to do this work
as its scrutiny of the estimates of
all the governments services gives it
information that could not be secured
by any other agency except through
very expensive investigation.
The budget bureau can hardly
dodge this responsibility, because it
cannot fairly and justly recommend
appropriations for the continuance
of a service when it believes that
economy and efficiency could be Sc
cured by abolishing that service and
intrusting it's work to some other
agency 1t could not well recommend
an appropriation for performance of
a given activity by a specified bureau
when it believes that such activity
could more efficiently and economi-
calfy be performed by some other
agency
That there is general move to-
ward perfecting the Organization of
the government, seen in what has ac-
tually been done over a period of
years. is the conviction of most men

1t has been argued that on the

which has the third representative on
the personnel classification board has
really no part in. the task of saying
what a man should be paid or regard
ing the title of his job. The concern
of the bureau of the budget is with
the number of employees for any given
service and in checking off any un-
balanced condition in regard to the
number employed on certain work in
comparison with the number em-
ployed on some other work.
AS no law, no matter how good il
may be, works out well under un-
sympathetic administration, entirely
aside from the merits of the case az.
between the bureau of efficiency and
the Civil Service Commission. Con-
gress believes it is acting wisely IN
taking the administration of the re-
classification act out of the hands of
the commission in which the bureau
of efficiency, which had worked for
different reclassification act, had a
powerful if not dominating influence.
Reclassification legislation has been
pending for many years and it is very
desirable that a definite determine
tion be made by this Congress.

the Diet in 1920, by Gen. Tanaka, then minis
ter of war showed total standing army or
272,731. While the total has increased since
then, large reductions have been made in the
recent retrenchment According to 1922 hg-
ures. there were twenty divisions in the jap
anese army scattered over Japan proper and
her possessions
The reduction of Japans navy through the
Washington conference, is well known. The
famous 8-S program was done away with, but
as the conference did not reach any definite
agreement regarding cruisers and other aux
iliary ships excepting airplane carriers, the
Japanese navy decided upon the following pro-
gram to be carried out by 1927:
Construction of twenty-five cruisers. with a
total tonnage of 10000; Of these seventeen
were under construction or ordered at the be-
ginning of 1923, and eight had not yet been
ordered
Destroyers, eighty-one, with total tonnage
of $4,000; of these fifty were completed
ordered at the beginning of 1928, with
twenty-four not yet ordered
Submarines, sixty-seven, tonnage 2S.166, OF
which forty-fve completed under con-
struction, ordered at the beginning of 1923.
with twenty-five not yet ordered.
Thus by 1927. the strength of the Japanese
navy in modern fighting craft will be as fol-
lows:
Capital ships, ten; tonnage, 301.s2o (nclud
ing six battleships; tonnage, 191,s20. and four
twenty five; tonnage 157,700 Destroyers,
eighty-one: tonnage, $4,000 Submarines, sixty
seven; tonnage unknown.
In addition to these modern warshps, Japan
has about forty cruisers, coast defense ships
and gunboats of older type representing ton
mage of 10000 and about 100 torpedo boats
also of older type with tonnage of $4,000,
according to latest available official figures
