Automobile Title DELAY.

Traffic Director Van Duzers outline
of the progress so far made in titling
automobiles does not present a very en-
couraging prospect. There are about
$4,000 automobiles still to be titled and
there are only sixty-nine working DAYS
at top speed, his present Office force
can issue titles on a maximum of one
thousand automobiles a day, which in
dicates that some six thousand auto
mobile owners will be left in the lurch
when the new tags become effective.
Cars without titles cannot receive new
tags, and cars cannot run without new
tags after January l.
The obvious difficulty confronting the
traf1c directors Office lies in the tardi-
ness with which automobile owners are
applying for tags. If all applications
were in hand today, there is little doubt
but that the job could be completed
before the first of the year. Working
steadily with slightly augmented
force, Mr.. Van Duzeris office could prob
ably complete its work in time. But
the problem now rests in the fact that
each day accumulates a greater num-
Der of postponed applications and each
day further removes the possibility of
eliminating the last-minute confusion
over the issuance of tags that has
always proved a handicap to motorists
and to the traffic directors.
Automobile owners will save them
selves the Inconvenience of the last
minute rush and the possibility of being
denied the use of their cars on the LIST
of January if they will cooperate with
the traf1c director by filing applications
for certificates of title now. The wis
dom of this forethought should appeal
to everybody.

An Inspiring Event.

All accounts agree that the Sesqui-
centennial Of the Battle. Of Yorktown,
which came to spectacular conclu-
sion yesterday, was a truly inspiring
affair. Commemorstions OF the sort,
especially when allegory and pageantry
are invoked. frequently border on the
tawGly or the ludicrous, or are other.
wise lacking in dignity The organ
)zerS Of the Yorktown festivities de-
serve the thanks and congratulations
of the Nation for their genius and
success il producing a series of episode
pictures in glorious keeping with the
historic grandeur Of the day America
celebrated. The behavior OF the
weather man played it; role, too, for
the Virginia countryside was never
more smiling than IL was beneath the
Indian Summer skies which blessed the
fete from beginning to end.
Many person privileged to look upon
the panorama amid which the surren-
der scene was so faithfully depicted
must have wished that television was
already perfected art, so that instead
of the handful Of 10000 and more
who were at Yorktown the people of
the whole country might have been
looking in" as some day they will, under
similar circumstances. For there have
not been in our time many events
capable of stirring patriotic emotions as
the reproduction Of the capitulation of
CORVALLIS fired the imaginations OF
people yesterday.
The thoughts of the country are eff
fectually diverted from the gloomy con-
ditions Of the hour by such graphic re-
minders of Americas beginnings. The
sight of columns of men marching in
the uniforms of the Continental Army
and of the troops of France, as they pa
raded with the battle flags of the Revo-
luton across the very soil over which
the soldiers Of Washington and Ro-
chambeau trod one hundred and fifty
years before, was one never to be for
gotten. 1t made the blood tingle with
pride. 1t caused every bosom to throb
with replenished gratitude for the deeds
OF the forefathers. 1t must have re-
strengthened the resolve OF men and
women alike to face with new courage
the tasks yet to be surmounted before
the economic foes laying siege to the
United States can be vanquished.

shrined in the history of Yorktown in
letters of gold. Those who come after
us, to commemorate the two hundredth
anniversary, will have before them q
worthy example in the pageant OF the
Sesqui. They may contrive to equal
it in reverentiai picturesqueness, but
it is difficult to imagine how they can
evolve anything more splendid and
creditable.

Samuel w. Stratton.

from life in Boston Sunday night. This
was a remarkable coincidence DR..
Stratton, himself one of the most emf

America, was apparently in the best

profound shock to those who knew
him and those who appreciated the

Imperial Parliament at London In 1900,
which provided that the commonwealth
should be proclaimed January l, 1901,
II the people Of the six federated states
should meantime have agreed thereto.
Under the constitution which thereupon
became effective the several states re-
tanned many Of their original powers.
The method provided for alteration Of
the constitution required that changes
be proposed by a majority in each
house Of the Federal Legislature and
then submitted directly to the people
To effect changes there was needed the
approval of majority of the voters in
a majority of the states, which number
must also include majority Of all
voters in the commonwealth.
The referendum which during the
coming Winter is to decide the fate of
the six State Parliaments will also pro-
pose that henceforward the Central
Parliament, the only one to be left in
Australia, shall have the right to alter

Calls Naval Reduction
every Serious Situation

From the New York Herald Tribune.
The country will not be disposed to
doubt the Secretary of the Navy, Mr..
of the Navy creates "a very serious
situation" Although the Nays en-
listed strength was reduced by 1000
men last Winter, it Is now to be re-
duced 1000 more. One.ifth Of the
ships are to be decommissioned or
placed in reserve. Building already APP
propriated for is to be reduced How
the reduction Of personnel and con-
struction work is consistent with a
helpful spirit in the current depression
is something which Washington does
not explain
Equally serious is the effect these
proposals will have on the national oe-
tense. 1t Is undisputed that in an
emergency a navy cannot be impro-
Vised. The Navy" as Mr.. Adams
says, lis men and ships" Civilians no
matter how patriotic and willing they
may be, cannot take their places on
naval vessels without intensive train
ing. And merchant vessels never can
take the place of naval ones.
The proposed cut In the Navy Is
therefore not only incomprehensibie on
economic grounds, but entails a far
reaching reversal of our traditional
naval policy. If the administration re-
fuses to be governed by these considera-
lions, the least the country can do is
TO realize their existence.
maintenance Of the National defense
Is matter which in democracy takes
foresight and courage OF an uncommon
order. Otticials who see their duty in
TINS regard must often reckon without
the active support of a public opinion
ABSORBED by more immediate matters.
rms Is one of the reasons why, in the
past, our politicians have felt free to
make hnanciaA savings at the expense
OF the services. They counted on a
public apathy which would not con-
aemn their acts and perhaps realized
that when another war came with the
heeoieSS bloodshed which their neglect
nao entalled, they would no longer be
IN once. So it Is that, after every war
in American history, the services have
been starved to point where the
succeeding war found them in an
anemic condition.
IL was not unreasonable to hope that
President Hoover would differ from
some of his predecessors in having
Doth the foresight and the courage to
ACT IN this regard without the urging
OF PUBLIC opinion. He was elected. we
would point out, upon a platform which
lnciuoeo the following plank in line
publican party:
We pledge ourselves to round out
and maintain the Navy in all types of
combatent ships to the full ratio gro
Vlded for the United States by the
treaty for the limitation of naval arma-
ments and any amendment thereto"
Instead of adhreing to this policy,
President Hoover seems to be following
the old, short-sighted course. For
some years now the country has wit
messed neglect of the Navy at the hands
OF congress. 1t Is now brought face to
face with actual reduction of the NAVY
at the hands Of an administration
pledged to 'round out and maintain IL. :,
