COAST OEFENSES
Adequate System Mere Neces-
sary Now Than Ever
A ROOSEVELT MESSAGE

ing Inducements For Attack
Upon Our Country Lessor
From Japan For Us to Study
Washington, March 6.-Presiden
Roosevelt sent a message to congress
accompanying plans for coast defense
prepared by joint board of army and
naval officers, in which he emphasized
the necessity for further defenses anG
reviews the history of defensive works
in this country.
The president calls special attention
to the recommendations of the board
that the entrance to Chesapeake bay
be added to the list of places in the
United States to be defended
He says the insular possessions can
not be longer neglected if the United
States desires to hold them. Defenses
are recommended for Manila bay, Pearl
Harbor, Guantanamo, Guam, San Juan
and Honolulu because of their strategic
locations. Defenses are recommended
!.
In his message he says
"Our coast defenses as they existed
in 1860 were not surpassed in efficiency
by those Of any country, but within a
few years the introduction of the ritied
cannon and armor in the navies of the
world, against which the smooth bore
guns were practically useless, rendered
them obsolete.
The insular possessions cannot he
held unless the principal ports, naval
bases and coaling stations are fortified
before the outbreak of war,
THE necessity for a complete and
adequate system of coast defense is
greater today than 20 years ago, for the
increased wealth of the country offers
more tempting inducements to attack
and a hostile feet can reach our coast
in a much shorter period of time.
THE fact that we now have a navy
does not in anywise diminish the i'm
portance of coast defenses; on the con
trary, that fact emphasizes their value
and necessity for their construction.
at was due to the securely defended
condition Of the Japanese ports that the
Japanese fleet was free to seek out and
watch its proper obiective-the Russian
tieet-withOut fear of interruption or re,
call to guard its home ports against
raids by the Vladivostok squadron.
This. one of the most valuable les
sons of the late war in the east, is
worthy of serious consideration by our
country, with its extensive coast line
its many important harbOrs and its j
many wealthy manufacturing coast
cities"
In his letter transmitting the report
Of the board to the president, Secretary
Taft says thar the board estimates the |
cost of completing the defenses at $780, |
S70,399, or 500, S96,6O6 less than the |
sum proposed by the EndicOtt board.
THE changes that have taken place
in the system of defense have been so
radical" he says, that the one pro-
posed in 1886 is not comparable with |
the scheme as it exists today"
Secretary Taft estimates the cost for !
the defense of the insular possessions.
including the naval bases and coaling
stations, at $19,S73 S95, in addition to
the $2.254.920 already appropriated.
The estimated cost for the defence Of
the isthmian canal ports, exclusive Of
the cost of the land. is $4,SS7 $50.
