AdniIral Samnuel McGowan Wages a
('ontinous Battle Against, 1igh
Prices. Iuys tis at 00e.
The following, which appeared some
weeks ago as an editorial in the Co
lumbia, Record, and since been reprint
ed successively it the Detroit Times,
the Washington Post and the Army
and Navy Register, will be read with
interest here, where the "Fighting Ad
miral" comes to rest from his arduous
battles.
The real lighting admiral of the
American navy isn't Admiral Sims oi
Admiral Benson or Admiral Rodmal
or any of the "seartiogs" who do their
admiral ing aboard ship cr in foreigi
ports. For they only fight during'war
if at all, and then at only infreqiuent
intervals.
But down in the east wing of the
big new navy building in Washingtor
Rear Adminiral Samuel .McGowan di
rects a continuous battle. As chief of
the bureau of supplies, .\lcGowaa is ir
constant conflict with interests and
influences seeking to hold the navy
and the country up to profiteering
prices.btte'
Thlese are not littlebate.N
more strenuous conflicts are wvagedl o1
the high seas than some of thosc
waged in .\cGowan's offlec, for nc
greater pirates ever sailedl thle mal
thani some of those with whom .\c.
(Gowan grapples.
The latest -public enemy on iwhon
.\lc~owan has turned his guns is the
oil lproiltcer. When the price of fue'l
oil to the navy Jumpied from 83 cent.
a barrel to $2.85 in one year, McGow
an decided It was time to fight. Th<
result is that (luring the next yeai
navy officers, sp~ecial ly dletailed(, will
learn all the steps andl Processes in re
fining oils, will secure full figu res or
production and refining tosts and will
put linele Sam~ ini poslition to operant
his own refinerIes, with the output
frot his own nav'al oil ireser'ves, il
necessar'y.
Iemniiiibering thle liowder man ufael
uirrs siid th'e armor -plate barons, thie
il inters'cts may he expected to thini
twice before dIriving the government
Into active competition, If. for in
stance, it should he shown that gaso
line0 could be0 prioduced and1( sold ata
good pirofil at 20 cents a gallon.iw hich
is thle price t-he navy will pay foi
some 8,000,000 gallons this year. the
public would not long standl to pay 3(
to 35 cents.
The navy is maintained for our na
tional prnotection. That it may be uitil.
l'zeal to protect the public generally
from internal dlomestic enemies ir1
time of peace as wvetl as against for
eign foes .during was is not so well
uinderstood. Mcflowan unider'stalnds it,
however, and is fighting it out on that
