WANTS FOUR BATTLE SHIPS.
President Tells Congress Our Unde'
Tended Wealth Invites Aggression.

Washington, Apri l6.-President
Roosevelt fulfilled his promise to
1rge his four battleship programme
apon Congress in special message.
He pointed out the danger of permit
ting the United States to fall to third
place as a naval power.
Prior to the last Hague confer
ence the President had hoped that
an agreement would be reached un-
der which naval armature could be
limited. He now expects no imme-
1iate definite agreement on this SUBJ
Iect and believes that a programme
which calls for but one battleship a
year is inadequ: te TO our growth and
position as a nation. With the fall
ure of the disarmament plan has
come a radical difference in ship con-
stiuction, calling for battle ships Of
treble the size OF those built a few
years ago. To provide for one or
two battleships a year IS to go back
In naval rank, Is the Presidents
opinion.
The President reiteratcs his be-
lief that the building OF battleships
Is a measure for peace and not for
war, and counts as misohievious
folly the plea that point has been
reached where a proud nation can
rely upon the forbearance Of another
Power. Illustrating his argument
President Roosevelt directs atten-
ton TO the experience of China, Of
Turkey, the Spanish possessions and
Central and Southern Africa. The
United States can hope for perma-
nent peace only by maintaining a
first class navy, he declares, and to
do this the President believes that
four new battleships should be au-
thorized by Congress this year. To
avoid insult he argues, we must be
able to repel 1t, and to secure peace
we must at all times prepare for
war

D44.A,Ds ACTION ON ANARCHY.
Presidents Message Says All Other
Questions Sink Into Insignificancc.

Washington, April 16.-In one OF
the shortest messages which he has
yet transmitted to Congress. Presi-
dent Roosevelt called the attention
of that body to the necessity for
further legislation on the subject of
anarchy.
The message of the Pcsident Is as
follows
To the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives:
Il herewith submit letter from
the Department of Justice which ex-
plains itself. Under this opinion
hold that existing stautes give the
President the power to prohibit the
Postmaster General from being used
as an instrument in the commission
Of crime; that is, to prohibit the use
of the mails for the advocacy Of
murder, arson, treason; and | shall
act upon such construction.
"Unquestionably however. there
should be further investigation by
Congress in yhis matter. When com
pared with the suppression of an
archy. every other question sinks in
to insignificance. The Anarchist is
the enemy of humanity. the enemy
Of all mankind, and this Is Il deeper
degree of criminality than any other.
No immigrant is allowed to come 20
our shores If he Is an Anarchist. ana
no paper published here or abroad
should be permitted circulation IN
this country If it propagGtes anarch-
istic crimes.
