Building Bigger Navy.

No less prafsewortby has been the
attitude of this congress in continu.
ing to build and maintain on a high
plane Of efficiency the United States
navy. This country is irrevocably
committed to the maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine. 1t is irrevocably
committed to the principle Of defend
ing and policing the canal route.
But its championship of the Monroe
doctrine and its announcement Of it's
intentions as to the canal route would
both be absurd on their face, If the
nation failed to do its duty in main
tanning a thoroughly efficient navy at
as high point of perfection as can
