A queer combination of idealism, changing strategy, economy and plain common sense seems to be on the verge of scuttling the so-called "capital ship" forever; and no one need mourn very greatly over the loss. Taking one thing with another, the battleship has been the object of about as much inventive genius and scientific study as any other institution in all history. More money has been spent to perfect it than has been spent in the war on cancer. Some of the best minds the world has produced have been devoted to solving the battleship's problems. Great laboratories, as expensive as anything the Rockefeller Foundation ever built, have been established for it And yet, all in all, the battleship has advanced human happiness very little. It has been a weapon for destruc tion. From start to finish it has been a necessary evil; and now that we are learning that it is not quite as neces sary as we had supposed, we can give it up without a tear. But no friend of peace has any reason to relax and think that the abolition of battleships, speedy or gradual, ia going to bring naval warfare to an end. It will save everybody a lot of money a modern battleship costs around J35.000.000 and the United States fleet has 18 of them at this writing but it will still be quite easy for any nation to go sailing gaily into war with submarines and cruisers. The battleship, to be sure, can hit harder than any thing else afloat But an eight-inch shell can do a good ish bit of damage, and a cruiser that can fling ten of them at a time can break a lot of crockery in the course of an hour's engagement And you might remember that the most horrible aspect of the sea fighting in the last war was caused, not by battleships, but by sub marines. If battleships are eliminated it will not be because the rulers of the world have had a change of heart. It will simply mean that they have decided that the battleship has grown too expensive to be put up with any longer and, also, that naval strategists have decided that fleets can fight just about as well without battle ships. The danger of competitive armament races will re main just as strong as ever. If the United States and England, for instance, continue to scan one another's building programs anxiously, and lay down new cruisers frantically in order to keep from being outbuilt, we shall have another race identical with the German-English race that led up to 1914, even if the ships involved are lighter and less costly. It will be good to see the battleship go; but we needn't kid ourselves that its abolition, if and when it tomes, is any very great step forward. One explanation of many fact that any gump can make betters can't. pass. A girl baby may be a disappointment, but there's comfort in knowing she needn't die to settle some diplo mat's quarrel. Golf teaches restraint. gentle tap just when you are hardest. Synonym for today: As Willie's tooth pulled.

He was yet to be a phone exchange." There will be 3,000 novels about young professional lovers estranged over a silly quarrel who are reconciled by poison li quor or the patter ot baby feet.

DAILY LETTER ON AFFAIRS AT U. S. CAPITAL Prohibition Is Causing Plenty ul Trouble for Mr. Hoover Three Pays Bring I "real dent. He's a Shining Target for the' Brickbats of Wets aud Dry Alike, and It Isn't Very Much Kan. lly KOONK.V DUTCH KK XEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. si On Christmas Day Mr. F. Scott Mc- Rrlde. the superintendent ot the Anil-Saloon League, proclaimed In mimeographed handouts to the press that prohibition was the great Santa Clans ot Ih American people. Hut to President Hoover, pro hibition much more resembles Macbeth, the gent who murder ed sleep. Especially of late. The recent ballyhoo about en forcement haa been singularly covered with aspects ot Ignorance hypocrisy and cowardice, but that doesn't let Mr. Hoover out. The Oreet White Father Is always the goat oa this issue. He It Is who Is supposed to ad minister and enforce the laws. Agents and roast guardsmen have to do the raiding and shooting snd above them there are admin istrators, commissioners snd other officers to ses thst thoy do It. but In supreme command Is the president. He's Always a Target The sad state of prohibition enforcement makes htm a shin ing mark. For anyone who wants to take a few ahota at him It provide brickbats always at band. When he la charged with falling to achieve satisfact ory enforcement the charge can't be denied. All a poor president can do Is to assure everyone of his good Intentions and promise to try like the dickens to do a better Job. It doesn't make any difference whether a law ran be enforced or not. As regards prohibition, there are two schools ot thought on that. Mr. Hoover might believe 1. couldn't be enforced, but he wouldn't dare say so. He would have to carry oa Just as It he thought It could. The notion that the president needed Senator Borah to tell him that tbe law wasn't being en forced Is tinged with absurdity. The Incident was chiefly valu able as demonstrating the value of ballyhoo. After Borah's blast Mr. Hoover had to pretend, a sudden excitement over such as tonishing revelations and act as It the wool had Just been pulled from his eyes. It msy he too much to suggest thst Sntor Borah deliberately sought to m marrasa the president, but it waa obvious enough that ho did n't mind it he did. The contrast In the attitude of Harding, Coolldge and Hoover toward prohibition enforcement seems to be that Hoover Is mors conscientious sbout It. Ons can also say for Hoover that he has not been In office very long and can hardly he expected to do In less than a year what hi pre decessors failed to do la eight. He Is fortunate in retaining the support of the dry organisa tions, with their control of Con gress. The organised drys are not those engsged In hectoring him now. They have even come to the defense of his chief en forcement officials In the face ot Borah's demands or a "top to bottom" cleanup. Some ot them think all this hollering from tbe Senate Is timely and ought to be helpful In prodding the president, hut most of them are convinced that Mr. Hoover has always meant to do right by their cause. They don't dart believe anything else, as a matter of fact, because they pawned their clothes on him In 12. Temporarily the buck Is be ing passed back to Congress, which will make more little laws to help enforce the big one. A Joint congressional committee will have tb Job of preparing tbe program. Oeneral agreement call for transfer of enforcement from tbe Treasury to tb Justice Department, better border patrol, relief of federal court congestion through simplification ot pro cedure and codification of exist ing law relating to prohibition. That doesn't sound like much of a program considering the enor mous else of tbe problem, but It appear to he the best product of the bast minds to date. There'll Ho More Jobs Since politics are still a large factor In enforcement Congress may also decide that the more prohibition enforcers there are. tbe more prohibition will be en fored, and so create many new Jobs with augmented approprla- At -AV a 01 S -t,V'. . .tAv ' 1 ... Hons. Prohibition Commission r Doran once sstlmated that he could enforce Ih law satisfactor ily with 1300,000,000 a year anil there Is a disposition among some members la give him al most that much to work with If not quite. Most of the senators engsged In the recent ballyhoo have been Insisting that the matter ot In dustrial alcohol diversion was the most serious angle of th : problem. Th prohibition n torcement ottlciai nv uonieu this time and again. Industrial alcohol la a factor In some ot the larger eastern ell In, but everywhere, Doran ha Instated moonshine whtaky and moon shine alcohol represent by far the greater Item of consumption. The weta doubtless will charge that the dry senators prefer to discriminate against the big city bootleggers In favor of the hill side distillers of Georgia and Idaho.
