1t has been a lOng-Standing
policy at Dartmouth to not con-
slider any invitations to play

claims to be the only undefeat-

Maj. Eliot, Expert on

America. At q New York club !.
the other night this reporter encoun-
tered Maj. George Fielding Eliot, one
OF the experts collaborating with the
New Republic in its current national
defense" supplement. He Is co-author,
with Maj. r. Ernest Dupuy, of the re-
Gently published book, IF War Comes"
knew Of his reputation as q military
critic and commentator. The pulp nc.
ton background was news.
In his talk to the club Maj. Eliot had
maintained on the basis OF close and
detailed study, that the German Army
Is not the juggernaut it is supposed to
be, with none Of the offensive power Of
the old imperial army. Questioning
him about this, it occurred to me that
this country had no one covering the
military beat like Capt. Hart and
asked Maj. Eliot about his detectives.
He was modest about it but said he
was working in the same field and
hoped to make good. He added. how
ever. that he earnestly disagreed with
Capt. Hart on many points.
He was born in Brooklyn in 1894
and went to Australia with his parents
at the age of 8. He returned to fin
ish military college just as the World
War started. He fought with the
Australian imperial force at the Dar-
danelles, the first Somme battle, In
the mud at Paschendaele and else
where on the western front. After the
war, In Kansas City, he began writing
yarns for War Stories and thereafter
came the 100000 words Of pulp fc-
ton.
In 1928 he became major Of the
Military Intelligence Service, and it
was then that he began supplementing
his war experiences with his intensive
technical and strategic studies. With
increasing frequency he appears in
magazine and military journals. OF
his book the Infantry Journal said:
mot since the classics of the great Ad-
miral Mahan has there been such a
vital addition to the field of military
literature"
He is deliberate, bulky, square-cut,
quietly courteous and loaded to the
guards with amazing minute and
particularized military information.
He and his speciality are timely at the
moment in the National Forum, in
which a precise definition for "ade-
quate defense" is sought In reply to
my request for his idea Of a sound
military policy, he said: "Impregnable
defense for the Western Hemisphere,
but no more European or Asiatic ad-
ventures"

the bill These features are: Cd The
substitution of single civil service
administrator, responsible wholly to
the President, in the place OF BIZ
partisan board. The fact that this ad-
ministrator is appointed for IS years
need not be considered as check,
since the case Of Arthur Morgan, who
was appointed. We remember, for nine
years. CD The requirements OF a
two-thirds vote of Congress to over
ride any measure within the act, which
the President may choose to make.
90 The removal of congressional con-
troll on the Executive purse, by making
the auditing retrospective and not pro-
spective "a The subsection to the
President Of such quasi-legislative
agencies as the T. v. A.
Dangerous Elements Of Bill.
These are the four really serious and
dangerous features of this bill. The
way they might be exploited must be
considered in connection with the
whole practice of American politics,
and particularly with the tendencies
of this administration. This bill. with
these features in it, will entrench and
fortify the President as the super
boss of national patronage with some
thing like $4,000 100000 Of the budget
to shift around.
1t is amazing to me that Senator
Norris, for whom I have great respect,
supported this bill in its present form.
AS late as March 16 the Senator,
in the debate on the bill, opposed
including the T. v. A. under the agen-
cies which the President could trans
form or eliminate at will, which he
can certainly do in the present draft.
The Senator said then: Il should
be opposed to the T. v. A. being at
tached to any department., care not
what it is. The very theory Of the
T. V. A. Act itself was to make the
organization independent Of any de-
partment, independent Of any Presi-
dent. independent Of any political
change which might come over the
country, by which we would go from
one extreme to the other, as the
country often does; to put the Tennes-
see Valley Authority as nearly as
possible upon business basis, upon a
permanent basis, so that it would not
be in the power of either party if it
came into power some time to over
throw the T. v. A. before it would be
possible to have friendly administra-
ton in power"
Norris Remarks Pertinent.
Senator Norris remarks were exactly
pertinent.
The so-called liberal supporters of
this legislation make exactly the same
error that they made in respect to
the bill for the reorganization of the
Supreme Court. They see things with
the short view, with respect to a
specific administration, with a specific
program.
As far as the civil service provi-

sions are concerned the bill does not,
in the estimation Of this column, 60
nearly far enough. They do not touch
basic issues. The civil service prob
lem is not a problem of clerks and
stenographers. It is problem Of
building up an intelligent and con-
tinuing bureaucracy in positions up to
undersecretaries of State, with an
esprit de corps Of devoted public
service, and with a freedom and
security so great that they can feel
free to criticize as well as support the
policies Of the administration, on the
basis Of their considered and expert
judgment.
Problem Of Ending Patronage.
1t is a problem of getting rid Of
patronage as political instrument,
in order that deliberation and con-
sidered judgment may be put in It's
place.
But it does not abolish patronage to
decrease the patronage dispensation
privileges of Congress and increase the
patronage distributing privileges of the
President. On the contrary, it creates
a very much more dangerous form of
patronage.
The vote of many Senators on the
bill Is politically Illuminating. Sen
ator Wagner of New York voted
against it. Senator Wagner is one Of
the most aStute politicians in Congress,
and it is probable that he recognizes
what the Gallup Polls increasingly
show, what the changed attitude of
William Green and John L. Lewis
shows, and what will soon be apparent
to all politicians, namely that the lead
ership of the President is no longer a
political asset in the United States.
The reason is simple one. A
leader, to hold public support in
Democratic country, must lead.
And throughout his entire second
administration the President has dis
played no leadership.
1t is almost as though another
Franklin D. Roosevelt sat in the White
House. We are at this moment a
country without government. We
have on-government by echoes Of its
past self
Country Demands Leadership.
What the country is demanding
from the administration and Congress
is precisely what it demanded in 1882:
Leadership in dealing with a very
serious depression. Actually, leader
ship in dealing with the most precip-
itous depression in our history, which
is rapidly approaching the point of
1892.
And not a single constructive idea
for handling this, which is our only
immediate important problem, has
come from the administration
On the contrary, since November
the administration has been blocking
every attempt of Congress to deal
realistically with the situation.
The members of Congress are free
to use their considerate judgment
about this bill or any other bill. They
don't need to be afraid that if they
switch their vote they're backing the
wrong horse.
What they need to fear is that they
are backing no horse.
