Men Must Die

The bareback that killed half dozen
men in a gun crew on the U. s. S. Wyom-
ing is tragic little reminder that the
navy man has to take his chances in time
of,peace as well as in war. There prob
ably will be the usual squawk from the
perennial critics, alleging that the accl-
dent proves our naval officers to be in
competent, careless, and poorly trained.
But it ought to be remarked that TRACE
dies of this kind are more or less newt
able, in all navies.
For the navy has to spend its days play
ing at the most dangerous of all games,
using the most dangerous of all imple-
ments. No matter how carefully IT Is
played, the game can't be made accident
proof. Once in great while, by the mere
law of averages, something is bound to
happen. A few years ago, the navy had
some distressing submarine accidents.
The "a and the Ssh were sunk after
collisions with surface ships, and they
took good many fine young men to the
bottom with them.
The naval air force, like all other air
forces, has frequent accidents Leaving
oration, there are airplane crack-ups -
ships plunging into the sea, ships colliding
in mid-air in maneuvers, and so on. And
there are gunnery accidents, such as
this one on the Wyoming High explosive
Is queer stuff. Handle it long enough, and
some day hunk of it is apt to go off in
ones hands, no matter how careful he Is
Then somebody gets killed, and civilians
complain that the navy Is getting careless.
But the point of it all is that these
accidents are the price the navy has to
pay for development. It might be posi-
BILE to exercise navy in peacetime so that
accident would not happen. The only
trouble is that the exercises wouldn't
be worth anything and the navy wouldn't
be ready for action if action should be
needed.
You might, for example, conduct your
gunnery exercises, slowly and with pains
taking care, putting the gun crew through
its work in slow-motion fashion, and
sending each charge of powder to the
laboratory for testing before you put 1t
in the gun The catch is that you'd have
a sadly incompetent gun crew when you
got through. Lou could maneuver your
submarines with extreme care, keeping
them always on the surface when other
ships were around and letting them dive
only when the sea was clear for miles
about. Unfortunately, your submarines
force would be completely unprepared if
war should come.
And you could put the air squadrons
through their PAGES in such way that
there would never be any collisions, dives
into the sea, or landing deck crack-ups.
Your record would be free of accident
and your air fleet would be utterly unable
to meet the test Of war, if war should
come. The navy is grim proposition. If
it keeps in condition, it is bound to have
occasional accidents. Tragic as they are,
such accidents simply prove that the navy
is doing it's job.

and the duty Of Congress to see
that this prosperity continued.
But 1t could not continue, he
said, with some eight millions UNI

basic industrial and agricultural
problems still unsoived. In his
opinion, he said, these could not
be settled until Congress ana the
