Mr.. HuII's Gesture

FORTUNATELY for the survival of the American
l system. the regimen of must legislation is over
The working alliance of independent Democrats
and Republicans insists that Congress resume its const
rltona function Of considering al legislative proposals
Of the executive their merits.
The shame Of rubber stamp" Congress was put
to an end in the elections last November
Having lost IT'S big stick the New Deal administra-
on has sought 10 invent substitute IN the form Of
moral suasIoH.
4 CCORDINGLY. Secretary Hull in appearing before
4 The House ways and means committee in behalf of
his demand renewal for three years of the tariff
cutting so-cacd reciprocal trades agreement argued
that the whole of the future foreign policy of the
United States hinges OF the way Congress handles this
issue.
lie declared that the mechanism of the trade agree
montS act the central and indispensable point IN any
feasible program Of international cooperation"
Though himself ardent internatonalist, Walter
Lippman crczes the Hull tactics in making the trade
agreements renewal the test of American foreign
policy in the postwar world
Mr. Lippman based his position solely the grounds
of eXpediency recognizing that Congress may
the executive authority without strings,
Mr.. Lppman evidently thinks il wholly likely that
Congress will its authority in tariff making
through the McNary amendment which viii give the law
making body the right within so days dsapprove by
majority vote of both houses any tariff pacts which the
state department makes
However, vastly significant constitutional
principle is at stake
IT Is sheer sham to attempt to initiate the British para
l mentary system of seeking confidence" the
national Legislature unless the executive like the British
prime minister is prepared to renquish office at any time
the lawmaking body votes mo confidence
AS long the executive intends to remain in office
irrespective of trends until his constitutional
term expires it is misleading to talk in the analogy of
test votes.
President Wilson attempted the same bluff in 1918
when he asked the electorate to for Democratic
gressmen expression of support of the admins
traton.
In turning thumbs down, the voters elected opposi
ton Congress- but, instead of following through the
parliamentary analogy Mr.. Wilson stayed in office,
despite serious illness.
In the present circumstances, in spite of variety of
including the Ball resolution Congress will be
wise if it remains uncommtted postwar schemes
that it carefully examine and audit any proposals
hereafter to be submitted by the executive.

IN previous comment have endeavored to
between what are called tactics strategy
and general strategy or war planning.
| have spoken of the first matter as es-
sentially the art of the soldier and of the
sailor, only TO be really learned by life
time of professional devotion and only salts
factorily matured and tested by battle.
would claim for the military professions
the right to be wholly entrusted with tactics
and never to be interferred with in their
efforts to do their very best with the weapons
they employ, and the men whom they COM
mand and lead.
Now the second field Of the art Of war
strategy which has been defined as the art
of moving, concentrating, economizing armed
forces, so that your enemy is put at a dis
advantage and struck at sensitive or deci-
sive pont=with= superior strength -ana=ftif5,is
the function of the higher military command.
This whole great art is the art Of the
general as its name indicates, which comes
from the Greek word strategos meaning "a
general"
/ spoke Of principles of strategy as being
unchanging and immutable, while the art of
tactics changes with every advance or altera-
ton in weapons. In fact, change in weapons
produces another series of changes-those
determining the organization Of troops in
proper units for battle.
1T Is a curious thing that some great gen
i erals have not been particularly dstin-
gushed as tacticians as troop leaders and
have not had an intimate knowledge at least
not technical knowledge, of all weapons
used by their troops.
But-I think all great generals have grasped
the practice of combining troops, armed with
different weapons, so that they support one
another in an irresistible unity.
All great generals have known the
capacities of different types of armed men and
how to use them, and have known their
limitations, so AS not to misuse them Every
great soldier of necessity has been a strategist.
II is unsafe to make congratulations about
these things, but would make this general
statement about the World War and its COM
petence. The German is an unrivaled tactician.
He can train, harden indoctrinate men as
perhaps no other officers can and he can
handle them in action superbly; he can devise
new tactical methods faster than his OPP
poncnts. In the World War ]. ! think the
German army was always a jump ahead of

I HAVE been reading, just

Hershey appeared In opposition to

Hershey told the committee that

that he had not discussed the mat

Waterburians addicted to the cup

tic curtailment Of the normal sup.

ture as the result Of the wars ef.
feet on the industry, local dealers
indicated today. Deliveries to the
city are said to average only so per
cent Of the supply received normally
and will be cut even further, &C.
cording to retailers.
Cheaper WHISTLES have virtually
gone off the market and the more
expensive brands are being sold in
greater than average quantity to
customers who apparently fear the
advent OF q dry" period and are
boarding against such an emergency.
This has the effect Of increasing
sales, dealers said, and creates
further scarcity.
One dealer estimated that at least
30 per cent Of local retailers will
shortly be out Of business. He ex-
planned that whereas In the pre-
war period, statesmen were able to
fill orders for two thousands cases,
they are now limited to 800. This
amount Is divided between eighteen
statesmen who cover the waterbury
territory, and who find 1t insuf-
