BERLIN, Dec. "A stronger navy,

policy outlined IN a statement given out
at his command today.
"Germany's future development i'm

he says. I'VE must export the product
of our indg-l ries and new and wider

we need a greater navy. Ger
ma. did not become a cOlOnizipg power
until the best countries for such de-
velopment had been annexed by other
nations. We had no choice but TO be
cOntented with the best of what was
left.
Yet our colonies may become. through
German energy and perseverance, Of in
calculable worth. We must not be like

Colonies are necessary to our ever
increasing population, Without them
We must lose millions of our people TO
countries which can better accOmmo-
date our overflow.
None Of Europe to Conquer.
There are no countries in Europe we
could conquer and add to our posses

wish.
1T is true the Baltic provinces were
once German, but their classification is
making greater progress daily. We are
mistaken il We suppose we would be re-
Ceived there with open arms. Even II
we could conquer them they would be-
come a permanent difficulty to us. The

Friendly to England.
I'VE do not want anything from Eng

even wish 20 take anything from us.
England and Germany have every rea-
son for helping one another. so long as
our vital interests do not conflict. We
have. in fact. every reason for wishing

would, ourselves. feel any weakening in

the National Government, said in part:

10 express TO you the hearty sympathy

great interests you are seeking 20 pre-
serve.
THE contribution Of the National
Government toward the improvement or
rivers and harbors has been the subject
Of much misunderstanding, Of unmerited
criticism and derisiun. The fact IS that
our people are 50 busy in their own af-
fairs thar the inhabitants Of each sec
ton of the country understand but lit
tie Of the needs an6 the interests Of peo-
ple Of other sections. We take our ideas
Of what is going on at a~distance from
our own homes through the most cur
SOry glanCes at the headlines in the
newspapers, and the newspapers tend to
pI aeent in their columns. especially In
their headlines, the worst things that
are happening in our country.
I'VE see accounts Of murders and su-
fcides and divorce and scandals-these
are featured in the papers-and so every
abnormal feature of the rivers and
harbor bills has been made the most
OF, and these abnormal features, rather
than the normal features, are the things
the people of the United States have
seen and thought about.

I'VE have come now to hear a great
deal about the pork barrel In connec-
ton with these matters, as though the
rivers and harbOrs bill were the re-
suit of q combination OF members of
Congress to secure appropriations for
the needs Of their own districts.
