believe I have said enough to convince
any fair-minded listener that the
Hawley-Smoot bill does not justify the

that it has been carefully framed to
meet the needs Of American industry
without unduly advancing retail prices

d. c.. Naval Reserve

Lieut.. Harold e. Richardson last
Monday night assumed command Of
the LIST Battalion, United States Naval
Reserves Of the District of Columbia.
He succeeds Lieut.. Samuel w. Slime
metz, who for two years headed the
organization, but who was transferred
from the fleet to the volunteer branch
last week upon his own request because
his private business affairs made 1t i'm
possible for him TO give the requisite
amount of time TO the organizati ton.
Since he has headed the organization
Lieut.. Stinemetz in a successful effort
to improve its efficiency has insisted
that members of the active feet Re-
serve must either make an annual cruise
aboard q destroyer or other vessel or
transfer to the volunteer branch to
make way for some one who can give
time for the cruises. When Lieut.
Stinemetz found 1t impossible himself
to make a cruise last Summer he fol-
lowed his own established policy and
applied for transfer to the volunteer
branch
Only brief ceremony attended the
transfer of the command at the regu-
lar drill Monday night. Lieut.. Slime
metz spoke briefly to the officers and
enlisted men of the organization at a
general muster in the drill hall of the

tanned by the organization as shown
by the report of the last inspection
board, and encouraged them to con-
tinue their good work under the new
commander. In the highest terms he
lauded them for their support TO his
efforts to carry the battalion to the top
of the list of those throughout the
country, and expressed the hope that
next year would see the organization
rated as No. in efficiency
Lieut. Richardson has been con-
nCcted with the local Reserve Bat
talon ever since it was organize, sub
sequent to the World War. and has
served in the various commissioned
grades. including that Of division COM
maEder He has made all of the an
nual cruises since the organization be-
gan them after the war Until he was
elevated to the command last Monday
night he was executive off1cer of the
organization and commander Of the

of the organization, Is n veteran of

armory for other social occasions.
Armorles and equipment, with few
exceptions, were reported to have been

said. have armories in close proximity

hold emergency drills and receive in

Others cannot, and the efforts TO
simulate shipboard conditions are Of
great interest and benefit. Much in :
genuity and resourcefulness to this end
nave been shown by some officers and
a total lack OF 1t by a few.
Inc board reported that cruise at
tendance was better this year than for
the previous year. However, 1t was
added that there are still some divi-
Sions which have low cruise attend
ance. Reasons usually given are local
however, the report continues in most
divisions great efforts are made to in,
sure q good cruise attendance.
Some commanding officers, it was
said, make a point of requiring a state
ment from the employer of an applicant

cant'S taking leave of absence at the
time OF the annual cruise. AS a gen.
eral rule, the board found that the

The board found that the progress of
divisions in military drills is satisfac-
tory, considering the time available
Greater proficiency than the average
now shown would be obtained, the
board reported, only at the expense of
the more important drills and instruc-
ton to fit them for their work on board
ship. The board expressed the belief
that military drill is useful for the dis
ciplinary value of close-order drill and
for the sake Of making a commendable
showing in parades, but further military
training Is time wasted.
Improvement in class room instruc-
ton methods was declared shown by
many divisions. Many others, how
ever, the board reported. have failed to
show improvement in this most inpor-
tant activity. Greater use Of the Slide
films furnished the various units was
evidenced during the past year. but the
board said that still greater use could
be made of this valuable method OF
instruction.

visions improve their efficiency along
tie lines required for active service
The board further reported that while
there has been general improvement
in armory facilities, there still remain
marked differences, as stated in the
last annual report. Some divisions are
said to be still handicapped by poor
armory facilities, and, on the other
hand, there are some instances of lack
Of imagination and ingenuity in max
ing the best Of existing conditions or
in improving them. The board said
that 1t is usually found that armories
are more suitable in those States hav-
ing naval militia than in States not
having a naval militia.
In some of these armories, it was
pointed out, there are limitations i'm
posed that prevent their being fitted
out properly for Institutional purposes,

the country, aiding them. getting them
better organized and equipped and
ready to do their helpful work These
farm commodity There are three
fourths of a million more farmers in
co-operatives now than there were two
years ago. and the co-operatives them
selves, with few exceptions, are better
established. With a return to normal
conditions the benefit that will accrue
to the farmers through the constructive
work Of the Farm Board will be easily
seen and greatly appreciated. 1t is be-
cause they are looking forward TO these
benefits that all the important farm or
CARNATIONS in America are stanchly

Worked Diligently.
In the brief time at my disposal It
has been possible TO toucn upon only a
few of the problems that confront our
country and that in one form or an
ether are likely to become issues in the
approaching political campaign. Under
our system of government the ofilce of
President has grown in power and
prestige and usefulness. The man who
holds the Office, although necessarily
elected as the candidate of one of the
political parties. at once upon his inaug-
uration becomes the President of all the
people. He does not relinquiSh the
leadership Of the party of which he is
a member, but the pressure upon him Of
the necessity so to conduct the affairs
Of the Nation as to promote the gen
eral welfare is so strong that any mere
party consideration sinks into insignifi-
canoe. No occupant of the presidential
Office has ever felt this responsibility
Enoralyy prne{laYNf
responded to 1t with more complete de-
votion. He has regarded the Office of
the presidency as a Job to be done and
he has worked at it with unremitting
diligence. He has taken no holidays.
He has concentrated all the powers of
his superb intellect upon the solution
of the problems that have confronted
him with no other thought or purpose
or desire than to promote the welfare
of all the people. The Nation never
had President Of finer personal type,
Of a character that washes today and
every day. No man ever deserved
kindlier treatment at the hands of his
country. Ex-President Coolidge did not
put the case too strongly when in the
Saturday Evening Post this week he
said:
1T is important at all times that
nothing be done TO break down the
authority Of the presidential ONCE, but
in times like these the duty Of the peo-
pie to support the executive comes very
close to the duty to support the law
In the last analysis the strength of the
Government is approximately the
strength Of the presidential Office, The
President personifies the Government"
Never could these words have been
used when they would deserve greater
emphasis than at this moment, for
never has the presidential office been
filled by one more completely worthy
Of the confidence Of the people
