ner in which the executive offices
of the navy department. operate.
Under the present set up the
secretary of the Navy has no
means for direct control over his
department but must depend on
chiefs of bueaus. This has led to
the criticism that the secretary is
merely a rubber stamp for adj
mirals who are said really to run
the creation of Navy general
Eighteen years ago the president
then the assistant secretary of the
Navy, opposed what he then term
ed this antiquated bureau system"
of running the Navy. He advocated
then, and is represented as still
favoring, establishment of some
form of coordinating agency which
would be under the direct orders
and supervision of the secetary
of the Navy. This might take the
form of restoring the. advisory
powers of the Navy general board,
the ceation of a Navy general
staff, somewhat similar to the
Army general staff or the crea-
ton of special staff directly un-
der the secretary of the Navy.
The agitation for a reorganiza-
ton. of the top offices of the
Navy, long brewing under cover
in navy circles, was brought into
the open by the friction between
the Navy general board and the
chiefs of the bureau of navigation
and the bureau of operations,
Rear Admiral Adolphus Andrews
and Admiral William D. Leafy,
respectively, over proposed changes
in the promotion selection policy.

THE outstanding thing about the

not the loaning of the money at

and stimulation which are given to
the borrowing farmers by the coun-
ty supervisor and the home super

are very much the same in man,

which used to be made by country
