being built on the Pacific Coast.
As this Coast is the first brunt of
any probable war would strike
there is certainly fitness in such
an arrangement. We should be
prepared to do such things here,
for the chances Of bringing vessels
out from the East after war had
begun would be ecidedly risky.
SHIPS might be built on the Alta ntic
Coast in the most pleasing profusion
without doing US any good. What
