/, From the talk that is heard around the
Navy Department it is surmised that the
missionaries are not very popular with
navy officers. Yet the missionaries in for
eign lands make the navy not only neces-
sary,- but useful. The protection of these
same missionaries makes 1t strongly ap-
parent that we could not do very well
without a navy. A cruiser in the Mediter-
ranean and our fleet in China waters call
attention sharply to the fact that our navy
is needed.
