BY THOMAS j. PENCE.

Washington. d. G, July 5-That the
strong American battleship squadron.
representing the lighting strength Of
the navy. is TO be stationed on the
Pacific cast is now accepted as q 1act.
The feet will leave the Atlantic Sea
board in the fall. ostensibly for the
purpose OF maneuvering in West IN
dian waters, but the real object OF the
movement is strategic, and II Is De
lieved ii Will give this country a doml-
mating naval infusnce in Eastern Wa
tiers.
In his statement in California yes
terday Secretary of the Navy Metcalf
gave away the program for the feet
Just at the tiIne oyster Bay officially
announced that. the ships might take a
foreign cruise, and again they might
not. The Loeb statement was very
much like those issued in Shin
ton during the past week, the purpose
of which was apparently to leave the
world guessing as TO the future move
ment Of the bettleships. Official Wash
ington is wondering whether Secretary
Metcalf talked too freely when he an
nOunced that the feet WOul proceed
to the Pacific coast via the Horn. Ii
has been suggested that the two
statements were given out by pre-ar-
rangement, but they were apparently
at 0 purposes.
There is no doubt OF the fact n a
the movement Of the battleshjps
prompted by our relations with Japan,
though this is prompted by our rela-
tons with Japan, which this IS not adj
mitted in administration circles. In
brief. sending the fleet is the Quid pro
quo which the Pacific coast receives
in consideration of an arrangement by
which Senator'S and Representatives
Will permit the ratification of a treaty
with Japan looking to the exclusion of
japanese labOrers from the United
States. The Pacific coast las felt that
the administration is u~nfriendly to it,
and unable to understand it's attitude
toward the Japanese issue. The send
ing of he feet to the is the most
substantial evidence that could have
been given of a determined purpose
to make no concessions to Japan or
any other nation, which should be to
the disadvantage Of the United States.
