Sinking The Battleship
THE battleship in apparently just about ready to em
bark on its final cruise. 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

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-
