FOR A SUPER-RACE .
THE American people already regrard themselves as super
ior to any other race, mentally and physically, and in this
they are probably at least half right. But the army draft
ehowed an astonishing percentage of subnormal minds in the
rren examined, and showed that one-third of the men were de
fective physically. Dr. Charles E. Sawyer, the president's phy
sician, believes that an examination of the nation's women
iwould reveal an equally alarming condition. In planning the
proposed department of public welfare, to which President
Jlarding is committed, he expressed the belief that an immense
improvement can be effected.
' Dr. Sawyer wants to make Americans fit to lead in all phases
'of human effort. "If America is to lead and be an exemplary
nation," he says, "we must have man-power, and to' have man
power we must have the best physical development of men and
women.
"To bring that abuf, it is necessary that we, should develop
a system of physical and mental education consistent with our
habits, business requirements and social relations." He believes i
that trie proposed welfare bill, enacted and put into operation,
.will provide the machinery for the creation of a veritable "super-race."
He expects to see an improvement of 27 per cent m
t- single generation. . . .
It could be done, very likely, if the government undertook
the project with half the zeal and interest and one-tenth of the
expenditure that are being devoted to war projects.

AMERICAN business should not be subjected to any more or
any longe. , crtainty as to tax revision than is absolute
ly necessary, i. a business can plan for the coming year
without some rather definite ideas as to what taxes it must pay.
This was the common sense back of the argument that con
gress should take up tax revision before tariff making. It was
opposed by the republican leadership in the house, and Mr.
Harding, who it was reported first held for taxation, was per
suaded to acquiesce in putting tariff legislation first. The re
sult is that we are still working on the tariff, which may not be
passed until winter, and are only at the beginning of tax discus
sion. On Saturday, for example, the Herald of Kew York re- Jso.ooo.ooo from the July 1
ported that because of the need for revenue the house ways and
means committee may not propose the repeal of the excess prof
its tax or higher surtaxes on incomes to go into effect retroac
tively. Secretary Mellon has just asked for retrenchment of
expenditures to the huge amount of $750,000,000, failing which
taxes will not only not be reduced but may be increased. It is
evident that we are in for a violent controversy, and the demo
crats are joyfully waiting for the republicans to make unpopular
decisions under the pressure of our financial necessities. The
situation therefore calls for clear thinking, courage, devotion
to the country's real interests, regardless of demagogic appeals
,U prejudice, and, last but not least, ability to make important
decisions without interminable discussions and vacillations.
The main outlines of tax revision ought to have been deter
mined long before this time, but, since they have not been, there
is more need for the utmost expedition now. The tax burden
i and will continue to be heavy. It should not be made heavier
than necessary through protracted uncertainty. Chicago Tri
