cheney instead OF size, they would
not be penalized.
It seems probable that no more
revealing statement was ever made
by the head Of . Government de-
partment to his subordinates. 1t
Is an unconscious confession, not
altogether without humor.
Top p-Heaviness" Probed.
OF course, the condition which
Mr.. Knox seeks to correct In the
Navy Is the natural outcome Of long
years Of multiplying governmental
agencies. appropriating for them
practically unlimited funds and
promulgating the doctrine that
thrift and economy are silly. debts
and deficits are desirable and COM
pactness has no relation to compe-
tency.
Now, with the war billions pouring
out and many thousands more men
needed for the war effort, these
tendencies have been greatly ac-
celerated. There Is keen competi-
ton among the new boards and
commissions to grow great. The re-
suit Is an organization 20 swollen
and distorted that effective func-
tioning is impossible and most Of
the competent men are overwhelmed
by the confusion.
Mr.. Nelson recognized this the
other day when he asked q COM
mittee to find out whether we are
growing top-heavy." Mr.. Knox did
not have to ask . committee. He
knew.
Just who in the higher Navy cir
cles first concluded that the wheels
were clogged with red tape and the
payroll cluttered with useless peo-
pie is not clear, but the action came
from Mr.. Knox and the credit should
60 to him.
The slashing already has begun
and the effect is salubrious. More
work is being done with fewer peo-
pie. Nor are the dropped jobholders
just tossed out into the cold. cold
world. All that is happening is that
they are released from jobs where
they had no useful work to do and
made available for jobs in the armed
services or defense factories where
they really are needed. Thus, there
is 4 net gain from both angles.
Rewards for Efficiency.
1t is interesting that, in addition
to his personal guarantee to the
supervisors that they will not be
punished for being emcient, Mr..
Knox is offering q series Of rewards,
including cash bonuses and promo
tions. for those who most effectively
reverse their direction and correct
that widespread Though false) i'm

vealingly.
That impression was first created

contains the precious oil without
which the Nazis will find 1t Diff
ficult to continue the war.
The outgrowth OF this situa-
ton Is likely to be that the
Nazis will make a desperate at
tempt to defeat the Russians this
summer. 1t is believed in WASH
ipgton military quarters that they
will attempt to storm Soviet posi-
tions in the south in an attempt
to reach the Caucasian oil fields
before summer ends.
Whether the Germans will
make q direct attack against So
Wet defenses now or will first
attempt to break through the
main Russian armies in the Smo-
lensk Moscow area remains to be
seen. Recent developments around
Smolensk seem to indicate that
the Nazis may make their first at
tack there.

Meanwhile, there are increas-
ing indications that the Japa-
nese, who made their first big
mistake of the war when the
largest portion OF their navy en-
gagged American forces in their
own waters, may still attempt an
attack either against the Aleutian

American warships permit Ad-
mirai Nimitz to retain the initi-

ticle as though presuming an
Allied victory. But If the Axis
settled tomorrow for anything
resembling Prof. Renner's new
maps Of the world, it would have
won an overwhelming victory
and be in a position to redraw
those maps even more in its own
favor after it had gotten back it's
breath.
And this article appears on the
eve Of negotiations between Brit
ain. Russia and the United
States. If planted by the Axis
as a balloon d'essay, it could
not have been more timely.
1t is difficult to determine on
what principles Prof. Renner has
redrawn the map Of the globe.
At one moment he seems domi-
mated by the nationalist-racial
idea: All the Germans belong
together; all the Firms and Scan
dinavians, etc.
But 10000, 900 Chinese in Man
churia don't belong to China; and
when 1t pleases him to consider
strategical matters he hands the
entire and purely Slavic Dalma-
tian coast line to Italy. At the
same time he cannot tolerate
that the italian" Corsicans
should be with France-although
the Corsicans have never thought
of themselves as Italians. He
gives Nice and Tunisia to Italy,
although Nice is certainly French
and TuniSia half and half.
In Interest Of Axis.
Studying these maps. it is OBJ
vious that he not only hands
Italy everything she has demand
ed, but that the whole redrawing
OF the map Of the world is in
the interests of Germany, Italy
and Japan.

sons the present retrenchment drive
of Secretary of the Navy Knox,
strongly supported by Admiral King,
is worth more notice than 1t has re-
ceived-not because the results will
be sensational Though they may be
CONSIDERABLE, but because 1t marks
a significant change in point Of view
and gives promise Of recovery Of
that sense OF proportion, the lack Of
which has been an outstanding
characteristic Of this administration.
Until last week. when Mr.. Knox
issued his order insisting upon the
elimination Of waste and the aboli-
ton Of unnecessary jobs, the system
In the Navy had been much the same
as in other governmental depart
ments. The efficiency Of an agency
was measured by its size.
All up and down the line the effort
was toward expansion. Every super
visor conceived 1t essential to build
his particular unit up as large as
possible. The aim was to be big. A
small division was rated unimportant
because it was small. Not until an
organization had become unwieldy
did it acquire esteem.
Knor Order Quoted.
This Is strange and senseless
notion, but it has been prevalent in
Washington for long time. Written
proof that 1t exists Is contained in
Mr.. Knox's instructions to his aides
concerning his new program. This
Is what he wrote:
There Is q widespread, though
false. impression that the grade Of q
position is determined solely by the
number Of persons supervised and
the volume of work performed. I
emphatically state that supervisors
will not lose grade nor income
through their efforts to carry out
this program"
Surely nothing could be more
Illuminating than that. In order
to implement his program Mr.. Knox
first had to make it clear to his
supervisors that the idea upon which
they had been operating was wrong
and then he personally had to guar
antee that when they reversed their
direction and concentrated on EN-

Prof. Renner assumes that the

q bloc, then the Fascist Empire
of his maps stretches from the
Baltic and the North Sea straight
through Europe and Africa to the
borders Of British South Africa.
Just why they should or would
stop there, only Prof. Renner
knows.
Redraws Map Of Africa.
He has also redrawn the map
Of Africa, adding Tunisia and
half Of French Equatorial Africa
(held by our Allies. the Free
French, plus the Belgian Congo,
Portuguese Angola and British
Northern Rhodesia to Germany
and with this the richest African
copper mines and practically all
the uranium deposits in the

artificial for the last TOO years!
The suggestion, of course, will
greatly improve our relations
with Brazil. which is predom-
inantly Portuguese. Why not
hand Brazil to the Argentine?
There Is no more Pacific Ocean
on Prof. Renner's map. but a
series Of zones-or perhaps one
could call them "co-prosperity
spheres" The American zone
goes to the date line" where
time changes. Seemingly time is
now his measure of frontiers. He
keeps the East Indies as Dutch
British possessions (the British
and Dutch Empires have merged,
and Britain has been given a toe
hold in Holland on the continent,
cheek by jowl with an immense
Germany, Just to make sure
there will be another war;.
About a quarter of China goes
to Russia, and Russia's Pacific
provinces. to Japan; this will
guarantee that Russia and China
eventually fight each other. In

making 1t more than likely that
the Moslems will overrun the
Hindus. Thailand Is rewarded
for supporting the Axis by getting

Whether Golfers knew what
