wealth that there will be no longer
any chance of a German challenge.
But you must see quite clearly
that II this thing happens, then Ger
many will have to abandon all hope
OF recovering anything like her old
position; she will occupy something
of the position which France filled
from 1870 to 1918. She may be eco
nomically great; she may be pros
porous; but she will have to dismiss
all those aspirations which newt
ably fill the minds and hearts of
peoples who feel themselves able and
destined to play great role in world
affairs.
But in looking effectively at the
situation as it exists in consequence
of the present discussion Of German
guarantee pacts in the west one
must perceive that the course of
action OF each nation is determined,
not by any evil or overambitions as
pirations, but by logical and inev-
liable conclusions. The British do
not desire to be dragged into an
other war having It's origin in French
championship of Polish or Czech
frontiers. The Germans can no more
resign the corridor than France
could resign Alsace- Lorraine. The
French are bound to think Of their
security beyond all else And the
Poles and the Czechs are just as
naturally bound to seek to protect
what was once SO long theirs and

and British guarantee lacking all
adequate military resources behind it.
For 40 years Germany denounced
France for keeping the hope of re-
gaining Metz, Strasbourg and Null
house. Today France denounces Ger
many for retaining the purpose to
regain Danzig. Bromberg and Katto-
WITT. To retain her conquests Ger
many built up a system of alliances
in Europe, alliances with like-minded
states--and France has done the
same now. The British, who denounce
French pursuit OF security along the
Elbe. the Danube and the Vistula and
in the guarantee of the integrity of
Poland and CZechoslovakia, insist that
Germany shall recognize British Sc
curity as based upon the Scheldt, the
Meuse and the Alsatian shore Of the
Rhine.
France Rejects Proposals.
And in the last analysis a compro-
mise now, the creation Of a situation
which would be satisfactory to the
British and tolerable for the German,
seems to the French to offer too little
real security for them and threatens
the very existence of Poland and
Czechoslovakia So France has up to
date rejected the British expedient of
a guarantee in the west and sort Of
shifting adjustment in the east, and
this rejection has prevented all agree
ment.
AS a consequence the British criti-
cize the French for maintaining their
policy, designed to acquire security by
a system of alliances: the Germans
accuse the French of seeking to bind
and restrain Germany forever, while
the French criticize the British for
cynical selfishness in abandoning Po-

WYANT WILL PUSH
/ ENGINEER MERGER
Centering u. S. Activities in
. Division of Public Works
Proposed in Bill.

The drive to assemble all the engi-
neering activities of the Federal Gov
ernment into one division of public
works" will be led by Representative
Adam Wyant of Pennsylvania as
soon as the new Congress assemblies
Representative Wyant has asked all
the engineers of the country to Co
operate with their duly constituted
engineering societies" in putting
through this legislation.
While the general plan of reor-
ganizing the entire Government serv-
ice Is too big for quick action, Rep
resentative Wyant emphasizes that
the proposed division of public
works in the Interior Department is
"a problem of the immediate future
Il feel very strongly" he says,
that this movement should be
pushed aggressively and the engi-
neers of the country are the logical
ones to assist in developing the best
public works organization possible.
Urged as Thrift Move.
Representative Wyant argues that
such a division would carry forward
the economy in administration policy
of President Coolidge, the Budget
Bureau and Secretary Hoover. In
support of his claim that the United
States is behind other countries in the
question of organization of the Gov
ernment business, he cites the activ
ity of public works organizations in
Canada, Australia. New Zealand,
France, Italy, Norway. Spain, Den
mark. Prussia, Argentina, Brazil
China and England. -....
Stating that he believes that Gov
ernment work will be done more
efficiently under his plan of organiza-
ton. Representative Wyant says:
Il concur heartily in the decision of
our joint committee on reorganization
in which they propose TO transfer the
Bureau of Public Roads from the De
partment of Agriculture to the De-
partment of the Interior, where it will
be consigned to the Division of Public
Works. | concur also in their decision
10 transfer the Supervising Architects
Office from the Treasury Department
TO the Department of the Interior,
where it will be assigned to the Assist
ant Secretary in charge of public
architecture.
Include All Civil Functions.
In addition, my bill will include
what are really the civil functions of
the War Department, namely, the
Board for Rivers and Harbors, the
United States Engineer Offices, the
Mississippi Commission, the Califor-
mia Debris Commission and the minor
civil offices now controlled by the En-
gineer Corps. These transfers will
bring offices into the Department of
the Interior which will make it possi-
BILE to coordinate the great public
works functions of our Government"
Representative Wyant argues that
his proposal would really widen the
field of Army engineers, so that they
could have experience in all of our
public works projects instead of
simply in the rivers and 1arbors work
to which. they are largely confined"
In consolidating this work in an or
derly and buSiness-like manner" Rep
resentative Wyant says. he expects
that "a perma nent technical force of
trained men would be built up so that
policies might be established and plans
laid for the long range development OF

American Public
Stands Firmly Back
President Coolidge
WASHINGTON, d. c., JULY T.

WASHINGTON, d. c., JULY T.
AS predicted in these columns sew
eral months ago, the Democratic
politicians have realized that the
American public stands firmly back
of President Coolidge in the matter
of tax reduction.
There is hardly a day in Washing
ton but what some Democratic Sena-
tor, Representative, or political high
light of the Democratic fold. does
not come out in clarion tones stating
that taxes should be reduced, and
the vast majority of them have
twisted around into their language
the thoughts that President Coolidge
gave voice to over a year ago.
1t is the aim of the president to
make the tax reductions effective
early in 1926.
In the matter of surfaces, which,
during the last campaign. the Demo-
crats were insistent upon maintain
ing, and in this were aided by radi-
Gals in the House and Senate, there
will be a decided reduction. These
tax reforms will encourage the free
flow of capital into productive in
dustry. They will benefit the little
fellow far more than the capitalist
for he can put his money in tax ex-
empt bonds or other securities not
taxable either by government or
state. Secretary Mellon has very
aptly said, with new tax exempt Sc
curities issued at the rate of one
thousand million dollars a year, and
with other means of escaping in
come tax, the wealthy need no guard
IAN MIR. Mellon understands finan-
cial affairs far better than the aver
g politician. In this statement the
people will concur. The little fell
low" will thus have afforded him
an opportunity to share in the ad-
ded prosperity which will result in
the releasing of more capital for
productive enterprises. The reduc-
ton of these axe will not only bene-
fit manufacturing industries, but will
materially aid agriculture for high
surtax rates under peace time condi-
tions do not make for a general dis
tribution of wealth.
The action of the Democratic poll
ticians in this complete reversal of
form regarding tax reductions is one
that will no doubt bring a smile to
the faces Of thousands and thousands
of our citizens who had been con-
tentedly sitting back realizing that
the President was right and hat he
would eventually force even his po-
litical enemies to realize that his
policy OF economy in governmental
affairs and his tax reduction pro-
gram were indorsed by them, the peo-
pie of the Nation.
