ECONOMY BACK
OF MOVES FOR
NAVAL SLASH
Nations Start to Realize
That Huge Drain Must
Be Halted.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, sept. 26.-EcOn-
omy is the moving force in the pres
ent naval limitation efforts led by
President Hoover and Prime Min
lister Macdonald. Navies are be-
coming too expensive and the pinch
of the purse finally has come to be
a greater force for world peace than
the lofty aims OF statesmen.
British cruiser requirements will
prevent the United States from
reaping large economies in navSl
armament at once. Savings Of at
least s3OO,OO0,000 are likely over a
period of six years or more, how
ever, if the proposal to avoid re-
placing battleships is adopted.
President Hoover had hoped to
scale down materially the fifteen
cruiser program recently author
lied, but indications today were that
unless the situation changes during
Prime Minister MacDonald's visit
here next week, the most that can
be saved on cruiser reductions
would be about $35,000,000
In view of the British inSiStence
on fifty cruisers, President Hoover
is ready to cut off not more than
two of these 10,000-ton cruisers
which are to cost not to exceed
$17,000,000 each.
Macdonald suggests three more to
be eliminated and that smaller 1900
.tonners be substituted, but this pro-
posal would result in no additional
economy.
At the outset of the negotiations
President Hoover stressed the econ
Monies he hoped to achieve by naval
limitation. Secretary of State Slim

Gators, pay no attention to the desira-
biIity OF single control. But students
of municipal administration in its
broad aspects" they afnrm, do not al
ways agree that the board is the only
desirable system" and they quote
Chester C. Maxey on outlines of Mu-
nicipal Government.
They also admit that school officers
generally demand that the school SyS-
tenn be made generally independent Of
municipal control as regards appro.
priations, accounting and purchasing.
The superintendent of schools In his
report, 1922, lays special stress on
these features. DR.. Thomas z. Finegan,
superintendent of public instruction for
Pennsylvania, who made a survey OF
the schools of the District in 1922 for
q subcommittee Of the House and Sem
ate committees on the District of Co
lumbia, stressed that: There should
be an absolute enforcement of all school
affairs from the municipal and political
affairs of the city. The Board OF Edu-
cation should be made the supreme
local authority in the government and
administration of the school system"
In contrast to this the authors of the
Institute for Government Research re-
port quotes at length from Buck on
municipal unAnCe.
In concluding their discussion Of this
phase of their report they say: If the
present board system is maintained the
superintendent of schools should act
as the head OF the proposed depart
ment OF education in order to effect the
liaiSon necessary for the proper func-
tioning of the municipal government.
Appointment Methods.
1T is further recommended that
members of the Board of Education be
appointed by the (propoSedN legislative
council Cor by the Board of Commits
si0ners II that body Is continued. APP
pOintmentS by the judges OF the SUI
preme Court of the District Of Column
bia have not always turned out well,
and it is believed that equally good re-
suits will be obtained by placing this
power in the hands of the council which
will be the responsible head OF the
District government. The appointment
by the judges Is an extra judicial duty
and there is no reason to suppose good
Judges of law will be good judges OF
men. 1t is believed that the election
Of members would materially lower the
standard Of the board.
THE power to remove members OF
the Board of Education should be
definitely established. The present law
| is silent on that point Ordinarily, the
appointing power has the authority to
remove. but ordinarily also the APP
pointing power is the administrative
superior OF the appointee. This is hot
| true At present In the case OF the Board
| Of Education, as the only power VI steo
in the Supreme Court is that Of ap-
nointment"
