Washington, March IA - A newspaperman was drawing comparisons between the Roose- welt official family and that of Herbert Hoover. He was talking to one of the closest members of the Roosevelt cabinet.
 "The chief difference. between you," he said, "is' hat the Hoover cabinet was like Q herd of cattle. When attacked, they put their heads together, their heels out, and the enemy had to lick the whole bunch.
 But you fellows in MT. and get dragged down Onc-by- One."
 'I wish," replied the cabinet member to whom this was ad- dressed, "that you would write that. It would do some of us lot of good"
 Beyond any doubt this is the greatest administrative weakness of Roosevelt's. official family. Not only does it lack unity, but it is ridden. with internal sus- picion. enmity and outright bick- ering. a
 This is one of the most imme- diate problems facing. the president today. It is immediate chiefly because of it's effect on congress. As long as party mem bers in congress see party mem bers in the cabinet carrying on poorly ly-concealed warfare, there is strong tendency to do like wise. -.
 If the dozen or so executives closest 10 the president do not hang together, they reason, 1t Is difficult to expect unity among 400 and sOmc-odd democrats on Capitol Hill.
 Illustrative of the extent and in some cases the intensity of the feuding, here is list of the major administration rows: FOREIGN TRADE
 The Hull-Pcek row. This is one of the most embarrassing of all, insomuch as 1t affects rela- tions with foreign countries.
 Cordeil Hull, secretary of state, believes in a broad policy of low CT tariff and most-favored-na tion treatment in negotiating trade treaties. George Peek, for eign trade adviser to the presi- dent, is opposed. He believes in quotas and trade restriction un- less other countries give cOnces- sions to the United States.
 And wherever he has an op- portunity to make a speech Peek lambastes Hull's policy. Also he negotiates barter agreements with foreign countries, such as

Poor Chance For Notoriety

The young woman in Missouri who asks county sheriff to let her spring the trap at the hanging of a condemned mur- derer, on the ground that she wanted to know what it felt like to hang man, has given the nation just about the most un- pleasant little morsel for contemplation that anyone could imagine,
 Offhand. one suspects that what she

really wanted was bit of notoriety rather than the thrill of taking human life. Vol unteering to perform an execution in one way of getting your name in the paper; no injustice can be done by supposing that was her real aim. But it is very hard to think of any other way of doing it which would have been quite as repugnant to the instincts of decent people.

abroad and acquired by this country
for military service, were lost. One
Of them, known as the ZR-2, built in
England, crumpled and fell in flames
into the Humber River near Hull,
with q loss of A. of the 40 British
and American officers and enlisted
men on board. The Italian-built
Roma crashed into high-tension cleo
trio wires in the course of a trial
flight at Hampton Roads air base,
February 81, 1922, and was destroyed
by the explosion Of her hydrogen
gas, "a men losing their lives.
Thus of the six dirigible warcraft
built and acquired by this country
for military service, all but one have
been lost. The record is not encour-
aging. 1t assuredly suggests that the
lighter than-air warcraft as built and
used in this country is not a depend
able mechanism. Yet there are rec
ords of long service by such gas-bone
ships. The Graf Zeppelin has made
seventy-three transoceanic voyages
and one round-the- world trip, and is
still in regular service.
Now that all three of the American
built service dirigibles have been
wrecked, in each case in stress Of
weather, the question naturally arises
whether the fault lies in the designing
or the management Of these craft. Is
there some fault Of construction that
has made them susceptible to severe
stress Of wind? Or has their man
agement been at fault in failure to
avoid or escape from dangerous
weather conditions?
This latest disaster will revive the
argument against the dirigible. Sure
~ before an appropriation is made
for the replacement of the Macon, II
that is sought by the Navy Depart
ment, that argument must be heard
and weighed to determine whether
American designs and methods OF
construction and management are de-
pendable.

Our Watch on the Pacific.

Whether because of the breakdown
OF naval limitation negotiations or
for other reasons, the administration
proposes to lose no time in perfect
ing the United States defensive po-
sition in the Pacific Plans just an
nounced call for conversion Of Ha-
waii into a base as impregnable as
Britain's Gibraltar or her newer out
post at Singapore In addition to
STRENGTHENING the defensive quality
of Hawaii, 1t Is intended to maintain
a line of naval bases stretching all
the way from Alaska, past Puget
Sound, to the Panama Canal Zone.
The entire network Is to constitute
a far-fiung first line of defense in the
Pacific.
The cost of these arrangements,
measured by their importance, can al
most be characterized as nominal.
1t is fixed at $3e,oss 900. OF that
amount, about 100000 would be
spent ct Pearl Ha1bor, Honolulu, in
elusive of $40 ZOO. 900 for a floating dry
dock The naval projects in Ha-
wall are IN addition to $4,000, 900,
which the Army is to spend on con-
struction of q huge air base at Homo

poses, principally in the Pacific area,

Another Dirigible Lost.

Pending receipt of a full report it
is assumed that the dirigible Macon,
lost at sea off the Pacific Coast last
night, was the victim Of a structural
collapse while under the stress of a
severe storm. BY merciful good for
tune all Of the crew but two were
saved. The craft is total loss.
This is the third American-built
dirigible to suffer defeat from the
elements The Shenandoah was
struck by thunder squall near Cald-
well, Ohio, September 3, 1926, and
was destroyed. with the loss of four
teen lives. The Akron ran into a
severe storm and fell in wreck
age into the Atlantic off Barnegat
April 4, 1893, with a death list Of
seventy-three officers and men, only
four of the complement surviving.

the Army and Navy plan to utilize
some $5s,0oo,Oo0.
It is estimated that these extra ex-
penditures will bring the total to be
disbursed for national defense during
the next fiscal year to 1857 ,0oO,0 900
and that other grants from the pub
lie works fund will augment the
amount to $1,000 100000. These are
big figures, but so are the figures that
represent the vital interests for the
defense of which the Army and Navy
are maintained. 1t cannot be too
often emphasized in Congress and
throughout the country that our de-
tense budget is Americas national
life insurance premium-and a low
premium, viewed from the standpoint
of what that insurance safeguards.
Not the least gratifying aspect Of
the program for naval security is the
plan for increased personnel. 1t calls
for 1882 more line officers, whereby
there would be a total of 6,53l. A
Navy expanded to full treaty strength
will eventually require 1914 officers.
The Presidents budget provides for
adding 1000 enlisted men.
Meantime Secretary of War Dern is
supporting Gen. MacArthur's move to
increase the Army by $1,000 men and
1000 officers. Mr.. Dern has just
broadcast the statement that the
Army has been reduced below the
point of safety"
Events now current in Europe,
Africa and Asia testify that the
worlds longings for peaceful existence
are still far from gratif1ed. In the
presence of such conditions it is well
that those responsible for maintaining
the United States defensive establish
ment are alive to the undeniable OBJ
legations which the international Sit
uation imposes upon this country.

.Jigsawing Germany.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The German Reich under the
Hohenzollerns was a federated en-
pire. and under the subsequent regimes
it has been a federated republic The
federated states had definite histori-
cal origins and, though the boundaries
were whimsical. each state had its
own cherished traditions Prussia
was more powerful than all the rest
combined, and yet all the others, from
former great kingdoms of Bavaria and
Saxony down to the microscopic prin-
cipality Of Schaumberg- Lippe, were
strong for their Municipalities and for
their pageants of monarchic or demo-
cratic home government.
Manifestly there is little or no logic
in the existence of separate states I'M
der government as strongly central
lied as that Of Adolf Hitler. Elimina-
ton of state lines and the creation
of equal geographical divisions for
facilitating public business were parts
of the accepted Nazi program. An
nouncement of the reform has been
delayed from time to time. but it was
definitely promised for Wednesday Of
this week. But on wednesday formal
announcement was made that the
PRONUNCIATION of the law was post
poned indefinitely The opposition
within the ranks of Hitler's party is
too strong to be sighted.
And there Is much for this oppoSi-
ton to say. The general Nazi policy
has been to cherish German tradition,
and there is definite value in the
localized history and literary lore of
the individual divisions. Strangely
enough the opposition comes both
from mighty Prussia. which is I'M
willing to relinquish its dominant
position, and from the littlest states
which dislike the prospect of arbitrary
absorption. Government efficiency and
economy are on the side of Hitler:
sentiment is against him.

Consumers Get a Break.

From the Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal.
Two State governments are not
waiting for Washington to find the
right yardstick to be applied to public
utility rates. They are proceeding
with this enterprise upon their own:
In Wisconsin the Public Service
Commission has ordered all of the I'll
private and municipality owned cleo
trical utilities in the State to show
cause why a new system Of lower
rates should not be established. A
hearing will be held within 10 days
on the proposed schedule. The new
order goes on theory Of low rates to
increase use.
At the same time, Gov. Frank j.
Fitzgerald of Michigan has instituted
a movement to secure utility rate re-
auctions through conferences with
companies and without the formality
Of -drawn-out appraisals and
resulting litigation. The motive I'M
derlying this effort Is to cut out the
delay and red tape that have attended
efforts of the Michigan State Utilities
Commission to press such agreements
in the interest Of consumers.

livelier appeal to that branch Of the
electorate in 1886. Something must
be done, 1t is argued. to offset the
conspicuous recognition women have
received in the New Deal. such as the
appointment of woman Secretary Of
Labor, inclusion Of women in the little
cabinet and the naming Of Americas
first woman diplomat. The selection
of Representative Mary T. Norton of
New Jersey as Democratic State chair
man is cited as another example of
political wisdom by which the Repub-
licanS ought to profit.
