ill the war in the far east demonstrates
the comparative utility of the big sea
fighter and the torpedo boat or subma-
rine craft was Il question raised in the
senate by Mr. Hale of Maine on the
adoption of the conference report. 1t
was developed that the language of the
bill was permissive and that the presi-
dent and secretary Of the navy could
defer action if they deem il advisable.
Mr.. Hale declared that if he were
secretary Of the navy he should not
dare TO 90 on now and commit the gov
eminent TO the building Of an immense
battleship, for it would not surprise
him If events of the Russian-Japanese
war demonstrated that the S150,OOO000
paid for big battleshps were a bad in
vestment for this government Several
other senators counseled delay.
Senator Hale said:
Under the light of events in the
east and the very remarkable develop
ments in naval warfare, if the matter
had been open / should certainly have
been in favor of striking out of the bill

say that if / were secretary of the
navy IN the present condition l should
not dare to 20 on and commit the gov
crnment TO the building Of another
immense battleship costing SS0OO,0O0
"The trouble with the great i'm
mcnse, lofty battleship, which does
not look like a ship, but great fOrtii-
cation, is that when she is hurt she
can fight no longer. Other structures
may be hurt, may be splintered may
be damaged, but they keep on fighting
But if an explosion takes place
through hurried firing in a turret 1t is
more than likely TO ignite the maya
zine, and the whole ship is blown into
the air and everybody killed
aside from occurrences in the east,
where large Russian battleships have
been disabled and put out of service,
we have had three explosions on our
own battleships within a year-on the
