ADMIRAL WALKER was called
before the House committee at
Washington and asked for his views
on the subject of coast defense. He
said in summarizing that given
800, 900, 900 he would use more
than two-thirds of it in placing
forts and batteries along the shores
of the United States. The remain
der would go for battle ships. AID
miral Walker frankly declared tina
unless land defenses were soon pro
vided there would be no trouble in
a foreign sea force demolishing the
American coast towns and annihil
ating the United States fleet. The
admiral was before the committee
