"There is no doubt, - said Assistant
Secretary Darling the other day, that
the people, as well as the navy depart
ment, see the needs of the service.
They are calling for battleships In
stead Of the navy being in advance of
the people, the people are in advance
of the navy.
Considering the Monroe doctrine,
our long coast line, the maintenance
of our position in the West Indies, our
dependencies apd the projected Mica
rGgua canal, should say that we need
a feet of so battleships. We have to-
day, built and building, 10. We
ought to double this number without
loss of time. Rich as we are, we can
stand the expense without a question.
owe do not want war; a large navy
will, by its very strength, maintain
peace. But if we should have war,
where would our enemy strike first?
In the far East, aud we should be
ready adequately to defend our inter-
ests there and elsewhere.
