We have no idea how much import
anco is to be attached TO the reports
tina the navy department is consid-
ering measures to strengthen the Pa

can be no doubt that if the United
States is to MAINTAIN any navy, the
Paci1ic ocean is the place where 1t is
most likely to be needed. There is
no use to blink that tact, and the talk
of keeping weak and Inadequate
force in these waters by way OF a
delicate attention to japanese suS-
capabilities is treasonaoie nonsense.
