The Macon Telegraph deplores the temporary settlement, because it “has opened the way for a barrage of Congres- sional wisdom which will further complicate matters and make a permanent settlement all the more remote.” While the failure of the French and American commis- sions to come to an understanding strikes many newspapers as an event much to be regretted, there are other newspa- pers which incline for the most part toward the optimistic. “Each side has received from the conversations in Wash- ington a better understanding of the other’s views,” says the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Read “The Literary Digest” this week, the October 10th number, for a comprehensive story of the debt parley, with American newspaper opinion upon the outcome. “What is Wrong with the Navy Department? Why has the American Navy, under peace conditions, lost more than twice as many ships in the last four and half years than it lost during the entire period of our war with Germany? Between October, 1917, and October, 1918, when every ship was in active service and exposed to the dangers of mine and submarine, we lost five vessels—one con- verted yacht, one torpedo boat, one cruiser, one coast-guard cutter and one collier. In striking contrast stand our peace-time losses, which total 12 ships—three submarines, seven destroyers, one naval tug and one training ship—since April, 1921. These startling figures, cited by the New York World, do not include the loss of the naval airship ‘Shen- andoah.” The press throughout the country is commenting upon the recent naval disasters in no uncertain tone, as is shown in the summary of of press opinion printed in “The Literary Digest” this week, October 10th number. “Tt would almost seem as though some ominous cloud hung over the Navy Department bent on its annihilation,” says the New Haven Register. Public opinion upon the recent naval tragedies is accur- ately reflected in this article in “The Literary Digest” this week.
