Representative Fcss. Chairman Of the
House Naval Committee. said The $50
istiou Of the United States IS in Itself
equal 10 a navy ! do not believe this
country should adopt q policy Of naval
construction simply because il IS being
followed by European nation. GeTms-
Oy's position in Europe requires her to be
strong On land and sea. and she there
fore maintains the large military force
and IS increasing her feet. The Nava,
Committee. in determining upon The n
val Increase to be voted This session
carefully considered 5he subject and de-
ci5ed that the addition Of two battleships
and TWO armore3 cruisers was sufficient
The fact that We new have DEPENDENCIES
naturally calls rCr increase in our naval
strength. and We are taking proper meas
u1es not only fer their projection. but for
the defence Of the country
Representative Dayton Of West Virginia
Republican member of the House Nava1
Committee. said: Germany's change OF
programme is very significant. It indi-
ates that Germany proposes to provide a
navy equal 10 any. She has the facilities
to carry out this shortened programme
according 10 ny inforna ;ion. This. to my
mind, Is very pertinent answer to the
criticisms made on The floor OF the House
against the very Moderate programme
provided for by the House Naval bill II
viii. IN my judgment, require this country
to 90 still further in the way Of charging
our navy
