STRENGTH M ISOLATION.
Proved by the Proposed Absence of
Our Battle Ships.

From Speech b. sir. Tagney ia the House
II It Is not 10 crafty an ambition to
excel other nations in the size and number
OF the big battle ships that we are now
asked to depart from the policy declared
two years ago OF authorizing but one big
battle ship each year, what, then, is 1t
that prompts this proposed change in that
policy. VIII any one claim there is rea-
son to apprehenG war with any foreign
nation within the next decade? II there
Us. the information upon which that ap-
prehension is based has been carefully
withheld from the legislative branch OF
the government. (Applause.) If there is,
then why Is our magnificent fleet Of six
teen battle ships, with its foreign auxiI-
larry ships, now sailing IN the Pacific. soon
TO start upon a naval parade around the
world. leaving our Pacific and our At
lantic coasts exposed and defenseless for
la period of almost a year? (Appiause)
This fact proves not alone that the pro-
posed competitive naval policy Is prompt
ed by an ambition 10 excel other nations
in the size and number of our big battle
ships. but it also proves that those who
advocate this policy realize the tremsn-
dous advantage We enjoy by reason OF
our magnificent geographical isolation
l(Appiause.)
Are we, in appropriating the money Of
the people for our national defense, TO
entirely ignore our splendid geographical
isolation? Are we to entirely ignore the
physical facts that make it practically
impossible. with the modern means Of war
fare, for any nation TO invade our terri
tory or come within range Of our coast
line without being intercepted by the
means Of defense we now have at our
commando II our isolation enables us to
dispense with our navy as a means Of
national defense for almost year. why
are We not justified in relying upon that
isolation and the navy we now have
when that navy is at home and available
as an additional means OF defense? ZAP
