Attacks Adininistatioii at
'-Dominated by Prejudice
Hampered by Obstinacy
; Increasingly Autocratic'
I Congress ^Iso Assailed
' "Frivolous Debates" Should
; Drive Participants From
Public Life, He Assert?
Inactivity on the part of Congress
| ?nd obstinacy on the part of the Ad
? Ministration were declared by Frank
i A. Vanderlip last night to be responsi?
ble for America's failure thus far tc
! relieve starvation in Europe.
Speaking before the Economic Club
| ?t the Hotel Astor. Mr. Vanderlir
I charged that since the armistice the na?
tion has been without leadership, that
the Administration is "dominated by
prejudice, hampered by obstinacy, talk?
ing democracy and growing increasing?
ly autocratic in its actions." and that
Congres? has indulged in such "friv?
olous debates" that if the public real?
ized it sotfie Representatives would be
compered "to retire from public life
forever.''
Mr. Vanderlip was the chief speaker
at a session of the club called to con
lider foreign exchange and Europe's
economic condition. Other speakers
were Stuyvesant Fish, director of the
National Fark Bank; Alexander Dana
Noyes, financial editor of "The New
York Evening Post"; Albert Breton,
vice-president of the Guaranty Trust
Company, and Henry Morgenthau, who
presided.
$130,000,000 Needed at Once
Mr. Vanderlip said he believed Con?
fess should appropriate immediately
$150.010.000 to relieve Europe.
"We are to-day beginning lo realize
the facts of the world's, economic posi?
tion," he said. "These facts are ter?
ribly serious, but I am not pessimistic.
The only thing I am pessimistic about
:s governmental and national blindness
to those facts. 1 should be extremely
pessimistic if I thought we were to con?
tinue in smug inaction, if we were to
keep or. with only a narrow, circum
i-cribvi view, solely seeing our own in
affairs and comprehending lit?
tle of thi great forces that are work
ing ' ivard conclusions that are the in
exorab i resultant of these forces.
??!'... action of foreign exchange has
beer, as inevitable as would be the di
rectioi of the pointer on u set of bal?
ance- in which we nut a 4-pound
wj?ght in one scale pan and an 8
pound weight in the other, for the
schemes of stabilizing the exchanges
are a? idle as it would be to try to
correct the balance of such a set of
scales by manipulating the pointer.
"It is a very sick Europe. The crisis
in the illness will come in the months
just preceding the next harvest. We
?re too late to effect much in the way
of remedy before the crisis comes. Xo
one can authoritatively predict how it
will turn. To be constructive we must
be hopeful and assume that the worst
is no: to happen in the next three
months. There is one remedy that we
should immediately apply, and that is
an appropriation of $150,000,000 to help
relieve actual starvation.
Streams of Credit Urged
"We should then givp some intelli?
gently distributed credits, obtained
from our investors, rationed with a
broad view to European needs and se?
cured by underlying obligations. There
would naturally follow such a course a
thousand streams of credit in the form
of investment in European enterprises
and partnership in industrial plants,
speculative buying of exchange, selling
of goods on credit and purchase of
minor obligat ?ors. Then Europe would
he facing recuperation instead of dis?
integration.
"We are vitally interested in the
rehabilitation of production in Europe.
One effect of it will be to invade
our own markets, but every dollar's
worth that Europe sells here makes
an effective market for a dollar's worth
of our own produce there.
"The 'ask is by no means insupera?
ble: indeed, I believe it is easily pos
iible, if our efforts are coordinated
and we have unified leadership.
"Oui ?rreat constructive program,
however, is in the domestic field. It is
a program in which every one of you
bas a share. Already they have result?
ed in an. inflation, the consequences of
which have been that prices have more
than doubled and that, all contracts
for the payment of money have become
less -ha- half as valuable as they were
at the outbreak of the war. Deflation
is probably too much to expect, but
there must be no further inflation if
we are to avoid a dangerous crash.
We should continue to present to the
World a solvent banking position, turn
from any proposed embargo on gold
exports and pay in gold every foreign
creditor who has with us the credit
to demand gold. Such a course, would
start ua toward our proper place in
leadership in world finance.
"Don't Keduce Wages"
"I believe employers should make no
plans looking toward a reduction of
Wages. Their efforts should be on the
side of so satisfying labor that we will
have efficiency in our workshops. If
manufacturers will come to look at the
daily wage a man receives, comparing
it with the wage received before infla?
tion changed the general price level,
and will attempt to reduce labor cost
by efficiency rather than by lowering
wages, the controversy between capital
?nd labor can be solved. There are
manufacturing plants which hav.e
found the key to the solution of the
problem, (?onerous wages, a sympa?
thetic attitude toward labor, some
larger voice of labor in the councils
of the industries will bring response
?n the shape of efficiency that will
lower the labor cost while wages are
advancing.
"Fundamental to all other points in
? constructive program is the develop?
ment of our educational system. We
throw about money with prodigal hand
while we throttle the very fountain
head of national life. The world will
never be safe for democracy until de?
mocracy is intelligent. If we will put
the (750,000,000 that it is planned to
'Pend for universal military training
into universal training in the princi?
ples of government and economics
America will be safe for democracy.
As we build the intelligence of the
nation we shall be able to dispense
*ith hampering laws; as we nationally
understand economic principles we
shall cut the fetters that hinder such
development. Without understanding
of economic principles and their cm
???liment in our legislative program
?ur puny efforts toward social better
went will create a hopeful structure
o^a foundation of sand.
"With a true combination of moral
insight and plain common sense we
|Jave amended our Constitution and
have provided the greatest single
economic factor looking toward ma?
terial prosperity ever created by leg
'slative enactment. I believe that the
economic value of prohibition will
eventually be an influence for the pros?
perity of society? *he like of which will
?maze ourselvof ?ind the w*Tid."
Mr. and Mrs. Enrico Caruso and Daughter, Gloria
The singer will be forty-seven to-morrow. He was born in Italy and he will observe his natal anniversary fai
from his native land, for he will be giving a concert in Pittsburgh. Little Gloria was born last De?
cember.
Caruso 47, 'Feels Like 16';
Lays Success to Good Teeth
Tenor on Birthday Eve Tells of Admiration for
Samson, "Who Was Somewhat of a Bolshevik'7 ;
Likes Movie Work But Thinks Directors "Bossy"
Enrico Caruso will be forty-seven
years old to-morrow. The tenor said
yesterday that he feels like a boy of
sixteen or seventeen.
! "But you are a boy." chimed in Mrs.
Caruso, who was present at the inter
i view in their apartment, in the Knick
I erbocker.
A large part of the meeting was de
, voted to a demonstration of the merits
of baby Gloria Caruso, given with dra
; matic effect by Mr. and Mrs. Caruso.
Gloria is three months old. and judging
by the "fussiness" she displayed in
posing with her parents for 'photo?
graphs, she possesses the idiosyncrasies
of a prima donna. Caruso tried to coax
! her to sing in a duct, but she insisted
: on singing it her own way, whereupon
! he was obliged to conclude the recital
: with an aria. The aria consisted in a
most frank discussion of himself, his
art and singing i:i general.
Strength Is in His Teeth
Caruso declared that the secret of
j his strength is not in his voice, but in
? his teeth?and he displayed a perfect
equipment.
"Samson's strength was in his hair.
j Mine is in my teeth," said Caruso. "?
I have never had a toothache in my life.
j My perfect teeth have contributed
i greatly to my good health, and my good
| health has sustained me in my art. I
j really believe that when one of these
| teeth 1 have shown you goes I go.
! Caruso is finished. But thev are strong
! yet."
"But permit me to correct myself,"
? added the tenor. "I think 1 made a
I mistake in saying that Samson's
strength was in his hair. I think his
strength was 111 his words. He had
great power of speech. In fact, I
I think he was somewhat of a Bolshevik.
I I like to sing Samson, although he does
! not fit my voice at all. I like to sing
i him in order to give my own interpre
j tation of him, of a thinker. Some sing
; ers picture him as a rough, dramatic
i figure. I don't think this is the eor
1 rect presentation. 1 am glad to see
| the critics agreeing with mine."
Caruso admitted that to this day he
' feels intensely nervous before and
: during every performance.
Fights for Laurels Every Time
"Each time I sing 1 feel as if there
| were some one waiting to seize my po?
sition from me, to destroy Caruso," he
j said. "And I must fight, fight like a
j bull, to hold my own." He remarked
| that frequently he is "scared to death"
: on arriving at the opera and feeling
j that his voice is not within him. He
i gave as an instance his performance
j of "La Juive," in Brooklyn, last Tues
' day night. "But the moment I ap
? peared on the stage and beheld the
I audience, among them Bonci, I realized
I that I had to sing, and there, was no
j other way out of it," he said. "And
j then a miracle happened. Some one,
j some unseen power seemed to unlock
the compartment within me that holds
my voice, and I sang. I sang with all
the voice and power within me. You
I see, we artists must struggle desper
' ately to get to the top, and when once
there we must hold on, hold on with
all the strength we have. For, once we
slip, the journey down is steep and
fast. I frequently feel unable to sing
? until I arrive in my dressing room and
I put on my clothes. Once in the proper
j atmosphere my voice appears, and then
I it's up to me to make the most of it."
No Choice Among His 75 Holes
Caruso has a repertoire of seventy
five r?les, but he denied that he re?
gards any one as his favorite.
"I have no choice," he said. "It is
the public that creates the favorite
roles of Caruso. The singer that
favors one over another is not a singer
but a specialist. The singer who is an
i artist must be able to sing a r?le of
j fifteen measures with the same earn
! estness .and enthusiasm with which he
! sings a difficult and extensive one."
Discussing his repertoire Caruso
i said that many of the r?les he has not
? sung for some time "due to the fear
of the directorate of the Metropolitan
i that there will be little left for the.
' others to sing."
"I have sung 'La Boh?me' but once
| in two years," the tenor went on, "and
| I will sing 'Aida' but once. Let the
| others sing them and then Caruso will
I come in?like that," and he made an
I expressive gesture.
Caruso, who sang in opera for the
; first time in Naples, in 1894, attributes
i his success to his painstaking efforts
j and his lovo for his work. "I work
'. hard." he said, "and frequently have
i but three or four hours' sleep."
He declared that the chief attribute
| of an opera star in this country is the
! voice.
"The American public does not seem
to care for the artist whose voice is

not up to the mark," he said. "He
may be a great artist in other ways
anil yet will not do. I will say this
for the American public. It is able to
appreciate that a singer cannot always
be in good voice, and it makes allow?
ances for indisposition and lack of nec?
essary spirit which the greatest of
singers at times cannot overcome."
Film Directors "Too Bossy"
Caruso has been acting recently in
photoplays and said that he liked the
experience very much. The only fault
he found was with the film directors,
who "seemed to be under the impres?
sion that they alone know what acting
is." Caruso chuckled and added that
he very soon corrected this impression.
He complained that the phonograph is
becoming too common, although he ad?
mitted that he likes to hear himself
on the records.
Asked if he believed that his popu?
larity was growing, Caruso replied:
"I can usually judge that by the
size of the check 1 receive for my
record royalties. During the war these
checks were very satisfactory."
Caruso sings to-night in "Samson"
at the Metropolitan, and to-morrow,
his birthday, he will go to Pittsburgh
to fill a concert engagement.

Fiant on San Francisco Bay
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25..Develop-;
ment of Pacifie coast shore facilities,
including navy yards and bases, for the
new Pacific fleet, was considered to?
day by the House Naval Committee,
which had before it Rear Admiral Parks,
chief of yards and docks.
Chief among the products needed
is a docking and repair plant for capi

admiral said. The department has
asked an initial appropriation of $10,
000,000 for this plant, the ultimate
cost of which probably will exceed $50,
000 000.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.?Meetinj
the demand of Republican leaders, tin
Houso Military Committee by a bi
partisan vote to-day refused to include
; universal military training: in the arm;
; reorganization bill, which will be for
mally reported to-morrow by Chair
man Kahn.
Sharp opposition to the reorganiza
j tion program is assured when the bi
reaches the House floor, and it may b
attacked earlier by a minority report.
In rejecting immediate consideratio
of the training plan the committe
; voted that it should become the subjet
, of separate legislation, to be frame
j by a "friendly" sub-committee of seve
named by Mr. Kahn, with an agreemei
i of the leaders that its consideratio
would not be blocked after a thoroug
i inquiry had been made of the cost ar
economic effects. This investigation
expected to delay action on the que
tion until the next .session.
Provides 299,000 Army
With this temporary disoosal of un
: versal training the committee voted
to 6 to report the reorganization bi
', providing for a maximum peace-tir
j army of 17,700 officers and 290,000 e
; listed men, including the Philippi
j Scouts and unassigned recruits.
; Unlike the national defense act
j 1910", which the new bill would amei
j no definite tactical formation of t
? army is prescribed, this being left d
i cretionary with the President. Tl
feature is among the principal cau:
of the sharp opposition by the minori
Supporters of universal training pi
to oner amendments to force Hoi
action on the question, but oppone
of the scheme hope to frustrate ill
?attempts through parliamentary tact
i Although the separate training bill \
ordered prepared "at the earliest pr
Itical date," even its supporters w

; Mr. Kahn, however, announced that
expected an "early" report to fol
a "thorough" investigation.
Republican leaders opposing
'plan's appearance in the army bill
, eluded the members of the legisla
'steering committee, who based t!
; objection principally on the gro'
that action should be deferred u
; the party's stand was outlined by
! national convention in June. They ;
agreed thai lions.- adoption of

Announcement, of the committee '
; on its rejection of training, a vir
reversal of its previous decision,
withheld beyond a statement that
division was 11 to 5. Four Democ
and seven Republicans were linderst
