THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE,
CREATE A NAVY.
TUESDAY, DEC 9. 1902.

The Presidents recommended
tious relating to the construction
aud maintenance of a pow
erful navy are not merely the
ebullitions Of ardent patriotism,
but with keen sagacity are drawn
from the added perils of war con
sequent 10 our commercial growth
and our territorial expansion.
We are a peaceful people,
choosing to engage all our ener-
gies in developing our own rat
ural resources and pushing for
ward Our manufacturing and
commercial interests. We envy
10 other nation, have no purpose
of injuring any We simply
propose to work out our own des-
tiny and solve cur own problems
without let or hindrance from
any.
The work which engages us
requires peace, and we must be
prepared to compel others to re-
spect our peaceful purposes and
desires.
We have not always escaped
the jealousy and ill-will of other
nations. 1t is altogether reason
able to expect that our CONNER
cial supremacy will rot be reach
ed without incurring the ennity
Of other powerful nations. In ad-
ditisn to giving ample protection
to Our long coast lines and insu-
lar possessions we must have a
navy enough powerful and num-
erous to protect our commerce on
every sea. Not to possess such
navy would, in case OF war be-
tween two European powers, as
England and Germany, invite a
repetition of our experience OF a
century ago when England and
France were at war. Although
a neutral, our infant commerce
was we'll nigh destroyed by en-
bargoes which we were unable to
prevent. Of course we now
would not long endure such a
proceeding, but the possession OF
a sufficient naval force would
prevent all from such methods OF
warfare.
There is scarcely a doubt that
any future war in which we may
become involved will be conduct
ed On the seas. No nation
would invade the country with
an army. Some of our seaports
would be attacked, probably,
but an enemy would assail oul
commerce aud endeavor to de-
stroy that.
Germany is continual l J
Strengthening her navy. England
is forced to pursue the same poll
cy. In the event of war between
these nations we would need q
navy strong enough to compe'
either power to respect our nett
trail rights.
So far, since President Cleve'
lands administration we have
been pursuing wisely conceived
policy of naval establishment
we need but to enlarge its appli'
cation, and to push it forward
There has never been time in
our history when we were so able
to build navy as now, and nev'
er before have we had so many
reasons for following the advice
of Washington: ''In time of
peace prepare for war" Con-
