There is no apparent answer to the
question why" except disastrous mis-
management Of the river by the L. $.
Army Engineers.
The Army has spent hundreds Of
millions Of dollars on the lower Mis-
souri, on channel sterilization and nav
~igation works. The channel has been
narrowed and its carrying capacity re-
duced, without apparent thought OF the
consequences. or as a result or the
most colossal engineering blunder Of
our accordance on the theory that
the silt.laden river would scour It's
bottom and recaptnrc carrying capa-
city by the Army's wing dikes and
other narrowing devices
The river has obviously deposited
silt and not secured its bottom. just
as Army Engineers were warned il
would do.
1t is important that everyone cease
to call the 1917 floods the worst
floods in a century, without qualifying
the statement. They were the most
devastating, but far from the largest
in terms Of water flow.
The growing devastation Is by cour

ness executives of the country not be
available, the President might turn to
Admiral William D. Leahy, Chief of
Staff to the President. who is the Com
mander in Chief of the Army and the
Navy. This, 1t Is true, would place
another armed service man in the cabi-
net but a man of wide experience,
who served the late President Roose-
velt on diplomatic missions as well as
military. If the President should look
to Congress to produce the new cabinet
officer, he might look with favor on
Senator Tydings Of Maryland. who is
the ranking Democrat on the new Armed
Services Committee of the Senate-the
committee which has charge OF all legis-
lation relating to the Army and the
Navy-who was for years member OF
the old Naval Affairs Committee OF the
Senate, and who served with distinc-
ton in the Army during the first World
War, rising to rank of lieutenant colonel.
It is not considered necessary that the
secretary of national defense shall be
a great military strategist. When 1t
comes to planning for the armed forces
or conducting a war, should there be
war the secretary would of necessity
rely on the trained military, naval and
air personnel for guidance-just as the
Secretaries of War and Navy have done
in the past,
Much of the opposition to the merger
plan went out Of the window when it
was agreed that the three secretaries
Army, Navy and Air-should have the
right to 20 to the President with their
problems, when they we're in disagree
ment with the secretary of national
defense. It is not presumed that this is a
right which will be used often-indeed
if the secretary of national defense
has the needed ability to hold down
his Job effectively. 1t may not be used
at all.
The plan calls for another new office
that of Secretary of Air to head the new
Air Forces Department. In some quar-
tiers it has been suggested that w. Stuart
Symington, now Assistant Secretary OF
War for Air, may get this new ofiice.
Secretary of War Patterson and Sec
retary of the Navy Forrestal are believed
to be outside of consideration at present
for the Office of secretary Of national
defense. To select one over the other
for this new Office would be difficult.
That situation could be changed, how
ever. should either determine to retire
from his present secretaryship. What
Mr.. Patterson and Mr.. Forrestal will DO.
however, when the merger plan goes
into effect and their Offices cease to be
Of cabinet rank Is another question.
