bureaus or agencies In three different
departments Public health is handled
in four different bureaus or agencies
in two different departments The pur-
chase of $3.50 900 900 Of supplies annu-
ally Is handled independently by all bu-
reaus and all agencies in all depart
nents, and the same commodity Is
bought at widely differing prices by
these uncordinated purchasers In be-
half of the same government! Prop-
ably the most classic example OF this
magnificent confusion Is the plight OF
the perplexed mariner in his dealings
with his Government.
He borrows from the Treasury
through the Shipping Board to build
his vessel. He gets subvention from
the Post Office to help run 1t. He gets
his domestic charts from the Depart
ment of Commerce, his foreign charts
from the Navy Department, and his
nautical almanac from the Naval OBJ
Servatory. He will in some instances
get sailing directions from the Army.
In fog he will get radio signals from
both the Navy Department and the
Commerce Department. He will listen
to foghorns and look for lights and
buoys provided by Commerce. II he
sinks. his life is saved by the Treasury
Department. He will anchor at the
direction of the Army. who rely upon
the Treasury to enforce their will. His
boilers and lifeboats are inspected by
one bureau in Commerce His crew is
certified by another. This crew Is
signed on by Commerce, inspected at
sailing by the Treasury, inspected on
arrival by the Department of Labor
OF such is the kingdom Of Federal
bureaucracy!
This is not an isolated exhibit. 1t
is simply the heightened shadow OF
paternalism. Democracy and paternal-
ism are at war with each other in the
United States TODAY. The winner re-
mains to be identified. because-1 beg
of you to remember-there are power
full and earnest groups Of citizens con-
tinuing to clamor for more rather than
less bureaucracy and cash TRANSMISSION.
But the need of the moment, die
tated bv sense and necessity. Is bone
deep retrenchment and impartial, un-
partisan, courageous reorganization.
There are three possible methods OF pro-
cedure The chief hazard at the mo-
ment is a discursive and diverting row
over the choice of method as between
these three-a quarrel which, unfortu-
nately, cannot be kept wholly free OF
1892 political campaign agilities But
I hasten to add that all parties and all
departments persistently demonstrate a
common and devoted anxiety to do this
job in respect to shortened expendi-
lures.
The Legislative Method.
"One of these three methods Of re-
trenchment through reorganization Is
the legislative method, dependent upon
legislative initiative and impulse This
is the most doubtful method, be-
cause in the midst of a confusion Of
clashing bureaucratic interests which
know exactly what they want 1t is
