ALONG THE ROAD
By
JOHN RANDOLPH STIDMAN

Senator Nye has advanced three
proposals for keeping America out
of war. A recent editorial in a
local paper points out that these
are old threadbare schemes which
have been tried out and found en-
tirely useless in the past. 1t is
surprising that so many people
take this man seriously, when he
is unable to keep peace in his own
family. According to newspaper
dispatches, his wife is sueing him
for divorce.
Time, which should be devoted
to more serious problems is being
wasted in Congress over the census
questions. 1t is certainly no dis
grace these days to have to admit
that you are unemployed, that
your bank account has been wiped
out by the closing of banks, that
your bonds and stocks are worth
less, and that you have to mort
gage your property in order to eat.
The bird who should be ashamed
is the one who has suffered no
losses, nor felt the clammy fingers
of the depression.
A headline indicates, Baltimore

article concerns itself with an &C

MNU Service,
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press
Bldg, Washington, d. G.


WASHINGTON.-The house com.
mittee on naval affairs made pub
Lie q report the other day that rec
ommends the delegation Of further
power to high officers Of the navy.
That proposition has been made be-
fore, but the current report came
from the navy general board, the
policy making agency Of the navy
department. It represents, therefore,
an official move by ranking officers
Of the United States navy for great
er concentration of power in their
hands, as naval officers, as dis
tinguished from the civilian control
through the secretary and assist
ant secretary Of the navy who al
ways have been appointed from civil
life.
The report failed to attract much
attention. Certainly, it failed to re-
ceive the publicity that 1t should
have had in the newspapers. The
reason was. I believe, that many
writer's simply regarded the report
and its far-reaching recommends
tons as an isolated instance. My
feeling Is. however, that the gen.
eral boards views must be exam
med closely because to my mind
they represent not an isolated In
stance but evidence. often repeated,
Of a general trend in governmental
affairs that Is highly dangerous.
This discussion must not be con-
sidered an attack on the navy. I
have great respect for the navy and
especially for the present personnel
In the positions Of policy determine
ton. There are some quacks and
hair-brained boys up near the top.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1940-03-07
Here's a Concrete Example
OF HoD Plan Might Work

Let's carry THIS general board rec
ommendation through to q conclu-
sion that is much more real than
apparent.
Assume we, as nation, were hav-
ing some hard feelings with one Of
our North or South American neigh
bors. Assume, further. that the 9TH
er nation was doing us an injustice
and was refusing to allow the mat
tiers to be arbitrated so that show
Of force could possibly serve a pur-
pose. Well, among our elected off,
cials, there obviously would be diff
ferences Of opinion. There always
has been and there always will be.
Does anybody think that the chief
Of naval operations with greater
powers than he now has would be
found on the side of restraint in
dealing with such a problem? His
train Of thought would lead to the
conclusion that some heavy guns
should give the answer; he would
believe in force to compel acquies-
cence, and he would never agree
that compromise was the way out.
Probably, that is a far-fetched IL
lustration. I agree that it Is under
the present powers that are vested
in the hands of the professional navy
men. I purposely used the exag-
gerated Illustration because If there
is added power In the matter Of
making policy granted now, there
will be additional grants Of power
accorded later just as sure as little
apples grow on trees. It Is that
next step" that I have talked about
in these columns so many times.
The whole thing can be summed
up, believe, in the conclusion that
we are getting too many military
trained people in positions Of respon-
sibility. When they are transferred
to civilian functions. however hon.
est and sincere they may be, those
officers naturally take with them the
deep fundamentals of their training.
It Is not good. We have seen the
answer written on the other side of
the Atlantic ocean. I do not believe
1t ID going to happen here. but it
could II citizens who are Jealous Of
our system Of government fail to
keep their eyes open.

Keep The Issues Clear

Both of Maryand's candidates for the Democratic
nomination to the Senate to have forgotten
Of the fnesoundng promises they made in opening of
their campaigns. We to recall that each pledged
in his first speeches that he would endeavor to base his
drive for votes the real issues at stake and to
frain from personal attacks. This sounded great to
most of for the job of United States Senator is
very serious and the voters have the right to know
just what to expect from man who asks them to
elect him to that post for six years.
There has been some backslidng from the straight
and narrow path laid out in the early days of the bat
tie, however. Evidently it started with wisecrack
about dancing activities by of the candidates.
Almost at the others camp replied with charges
Of discrimination against paint statesmen" Very i'm
portant issues, indeed!
The voters care little whether candidate likes
paint statesmen and still less how much the other
dances What they want to know is which of these
men is better qualified for the Senate. Nor do they
wish to see the candidates throw dignity to the winds
and conduct their campaigns along the lines of alley
battle between two stray cats About the only possible
result of continuation of these personal and petty
charges would be to bring public ridicue upon both
men. They would be wiser to stick to their early
pledges.
