Engineers, Uni ted States Axmy, estimated the cost of improving and maintaining the nation's rivers and harbors for the next fiscal year, his figures repre sented the fruits of careful consideration- The sum which was recom mended to Congress for these purposes $42,841,562 was -but $9, 000,000 larger than that made available by the last previous Coi: gress for similar work during the current year. , In a panicky attempt tQ "economize," the Republican Congress has cut the estimate of the Chief of Engineers from more than $42,000,000 to $12,000,000. With this latter sum the Engineers D. partment of the Army is expected to continue the betterments and upkeep for which about three times as milch was appropriated foi J.919-20. '7 Kp The country will welcome economies in appropriations and gt)vem- o mental expenditures, but it will not accept haphazard reductions a? A "genuine economy, especially when great public works of benefit to the "whole nation are made to suffer. There will be a justifiable &u3picioD that the purpose of this policy is not regarded for the welfare of the taxpayers but the making of a spacious political record for use in the- next campaign. ; This Republican concern for economy come so little to merit tht approbation it is intended to win. There were numerous opportuni- - ties in the special session of Congress to save both time and money hv - restoring pjace, by making final, satisfactory disposition of the rail roads, by adjusting the tax lav;s to the new conditions in a word, by . doing most of the work with which the regular sessiq.11 is now en gaged with no prospect of .completing it in a reasonable or. sensonable "'fashion. ,7 -Mji0 . The amount which the Republican Congress offers for tbe imprbve ment and maintenance of inland channels and ocean harbors, to serve the ends of safe and convenient transportation o nthe national water 7vays, is only twelve times larger than the total cost of the "investi gations"' into the conduct of the war which its many committees have . been busy for nearly a year. It is little more than the expense of the 7 special session which left all its important tasks as a heritage fos the present regular session. H top-v.-- ,e-,:If the regime of "economy" proposed by the Republicans is to be ' judged by the way in which the rivers and harbors have fared through -its operation ,it promises to be .only a little worse than reckless ex travagance. . " 1 vv, - . : o ; ' THE RECORD STANDS. 7 A careful readiiig of Admiral Sims charges so far as published shows that they run exclusively along the line of aleged failure of ' the .Navy Department to cooperate fully with the Allies during qui participation in the war. Charges so general and of -such a chavactej jnay and doubtless should impress Congress as-worth v of mast rio-iu inrestigfttipn, says the Now York Wprld. But they will fail to impress 'i.r ' . tne American public as either sensational or disturbing in the slight est degree. This is because theyjend to impeach the general record of America naval cooperation in winning the war, and that record is . entirely beyond impeachment. It is known, it is internationally ad tted it is broadly established in actual fact, it is as secure as the past is secure. ' "When the record shows that our naval cooperation made the, block ade of Germany as perfect as anything of the kind could possibly be; wher4t fehows that thereafterahe German Hlgh SV Aet went into penninent ; hiding as against even occasional forays; wlieu it "shows that, the tide of the submarine war turned instantly and completely gainst t 0rmans with that cooperation; when it shows that under convoy of the Amer;n Navy through enemy infest the life of not a single American solder was lost among the many hundreds of hcmsanU vwVortrt across the Atlanticno Worn f -n. 7T ' : patment t.; Superintendence Tickets on sale daily February 18th to 24th. inal limit for return March 6, 1920.
