and Navy.
New York, June 19.-"The necessity for
the construction OF a military and navy
for this Nation,' was the subject discussed
by Rev. Thomas Dixon in the Grand opera
house tonight. He said in part;
I'VE have discovered that navy can
not be bought in a crisis or over the coun-
ter. Money counts for naught. We Tiled
that. We have proved that 1t takes fore
sight and skill to make navy
with that knowledge, which we have
bought dearly it is now the immediate
duty of the United States to begin build
ing the mightiest navy in the world at an
expenditure of not less than $1,000 0l0.
1t is the only guarantee OF peace There are
great unsettled issues in this world that
can not be settled except by the way o.
force and life and death. Because we were
not prepared for war, Spain dared to night.
Now we are spending more than sl,000,Ooo
a day 10 carry on war, the end of viii h
we do not yet see. In less than four years
the 81 GOO, 900, 900 will have been spent ard
nothing to show for it. II we had spent
this money in building such navy We
would still have the money virtually in
our treasury and the lives OF our man.
Such policy in the end is the best econ
omy we can adopt. Tie only defense is the
power to strike to kill, the power OF az
erosion Diplomacy must have something
besides wind to back II UP. Efficient
diplomacy must be prepared to speak with
lips of steel when it gets through with
words Of mouth. We have a Monroe do
trine. which is dangerous policy unless
we have adequate means to enforce II. We
must have navy to hold our new terri
tory and hold II We must. We can not
give IL back 10 Spain without complete
stultlfcation of our policy. 1t would be
contrary to every principle for which you
have fought. It Is our destiny TO keep IT,
and we must be prepared to live our des-
tiny. A nation that can fcrgets its Dewiys:
a nation that could sit down and not build
sAips when it has such men to command,
