OV. MILLER’S forecast of the scope of the G* “legislative investigation into city affairs is SC astinetly encouraging. Says the Governor: “I do not think that those that favored m * © © regarded it as @ fishing expedi- dion or « graft hunt. “The purpose of it 1s to discover what is wrong in the structure of the City Govern- ment and in the method by which the public Ddusiness Is being transacted.” Graft and dishonesty there may have been in the Aylan Administration. But there is no question in fhe minds of informed observers that the principal “fault has been sheer incapacity, blundering and thick- headed stupidity. ‘There may have been losses to the city from mal- administration and unlawful diversion of funds, but ‘fn any event this would not amount to a fraction of “the loss from unbusiness-like non-administration, omasteful practices and squandering of money for h no fair return is received. If the investigators can bring out these facts in gn authoritative manner and in terms so simple that “no one can misunderstand, they will perform the greatest of services. If there is graft, that should be uncovered, of “eourse. But incompetence is wasting more money -than dishonesty. % That should be the real object of the demon- ‘Stration. gid: : NO OTHER WAY? t FTER protracted negotiations between the A Shipping Board and the American Steamship ‘Owners’ Asscciation on the one hand and the repre- sentatives of the Seamen’s Union and the Marine Engineers on the other, no compromise was reached. Admiral Benson declared a wage cut and left his office. Andrew Furuseth and William S. Brown went to the President and offered to submit the deadlock to mediation and to abide by the decision sof the mediators. A general strike of seamen will prove serious not generation's citizenship. But the city can help, and so can individuals in the city. Opportunity and leadership in development ot our raw material in boys is about the biggest task any set of men and women can undertake. The Rotarians in acting as sponsors for Boys’ Week are seeking only to help all the other agencies that have sprung up in recent years to supplement and help parents. Boys to-day, even in the city, have opportunities denied their fathers and grandfathers. The Boy Scout organization, to mention no others, has almost revohrtionized boy life. Clubs, libraries, settlement houses, the Big Brother movement and a host of other organizations are helping to make better men and better citizens. It is good to have one week set aside for special attention to the boy problem. But the real message of Boys’ Week ts that every week in the year is boys’ week. Conservation of boys doesn’t mean a “drive.” It means a steady year-long pull for the ‘best results. DOWN TO LODGE LEVEL. RE the honor and consistency of the United States in its foreign relations still at the mercy of Henry Cabot Lodge? It was Senator Lodge who told the Senate Satur- day that the Knox resolution is only preliminary to making peace with Germany “by a treaty which will probably follow this resolution.” It was Senator Lodge who lowered the plea for the Knox resolution to the old plane of petty vin- dictiveness which has already set an everlasting stigma upon the Republican attitude toward peace. “That League that Mr. Wilson brought from Paris,” declared the Senator, “has been passed on by the Senate and by the people, and that League, I venture to think, is dead, for the time being anyway. It will stay dead for the next four years at least, and 1 do not think any change or any party will restore life to that beaten instrument.” Since he finds the “Wilson League” so inter- woven in the Treaty of Versailles that seventy-two amendments would be required to eliminate it, Sen- ator Lodge would be delighted to give the whole treaty a final kick.
