Philadelphia Press: Was there ever q
more significant vIndicatlon OF sea-
power?
This country of 100000, with unex-
ampled resources, was about to occupy
Cuba last week In Overwhelming force.
Suddenly four Spanish armored cruisers
appear. They are not as strong as our
united fleet, but they are swifter and
their plans nc. one knows. Z
Instantly all plans of an Invasion have
to be Postponed until these cruisers are
dealt with. The troops on shore mark
time. Our ships at sea are gathered
from hitler to thlther. All waits on the
next sea fight. Its fate settles the war.
Sen power counts and in the world
wide work 1t is the first and last thing
which does count. The United States
must have navy second only to Great
Britain's. Anything short Of this Is ma
tional peril and national lack.
Fourteen years ago naval board of
experts recommended eighteen battle
ships. The report was laughed at Docs
any one laugh now? With even twelve
battleships we should have saved the
cost of this war, for the direct cost of
this war sixty battleships could be built.
Which Is cheaper? Wnr or the prepa-
ration which insures peace2 "a
