ASKSDOM|NIONS
TO AID ENGLAND
IN LARGE NAVY
Lord BeresfOrd Outlines Plan
for Proper Sea Defense
of Great Britain
Would Have Distinct Fleets for
Each of Five Nations of +,
the Empire

LONDON, June 2s.-Admiral Lord
Beresford was the principal speaker at
the closing meeting this morning of
the imperial press conference, and gave
his views on the question of the empire
and the navy
1t is impossible" he declared, ito
maintain a two power standard unless
the dominions come in and assist"
The speakers general plan for an
empire navy, as outlined in his speech.
contemplates distinct fleets for each of
the i've nations OF the empire. Great
Britain. Canada, Australia, New Zea-
land and South Africa These fleets
should be mobnized, able to protect the
routes Of tradeNand capable OF being
turned quickly into onense weapons.
There should be Standardization, inter
change OF officers as wen as inter
change Of ships. and repairing stations
should be established throughout the
empire.
DOMINIONS CAN ASSIST
By some extraordinary mad infatu-
alton. for which / am quite unable to
account" said Lord Beresford, the re-
pairing stations upon which we have
spent so much money have been dis
mantied"
Continuing. the admiral suggested
that the dominiOns could assist greatly
by rebuilding and re-equipping these
abandoned naval bases In the event Of
war all the fleets OF the empire would
have TO act under a central strategical
bureau, which would have to be estab-
n I
time there must be no hint Of the
domination OF the home government
during normal times
The speaker commended that the grave
warnings uttered by various statesmen
proved that they knew the empire TO
be unprepared for war This anxiety
was emphasized by the offers of Dread
noughts from colonial governments,
and the fact that the colonies were rec
ognizing the unprepsredness of the
navy he regarded as the severest pos
sible condemnation of the imperial pol
icy of defense
PRIMARY OBJECT Is PEACE
In conclusion Lord Beresford said he
believed the primary object of all ma
tons at the present moment was peace
and that II the British empire was
properly prepared there would be no
war
Lord Beresfords reference to the alb
sence Of a strategical bureau at the
admiralty called out sharp rebuke
from ". T. Stead, who declared that
no man should use his position in So
ciety or his popularity in the newspa-
pers TO intrigue against and Vilify a
man admiral Sir John Fisher) whom
the king and two successive ministries
had placed IN Office He said he was
sure that in his wiser moments Lord
BeresfOrd would recognize the impro-
priety of q statement calculated TO
shake the confidence of the colonies in
Great Britain's ability to govern the
empire.

Christian Rudovitz, Russian
refugee, over whom has been waged
the most stubborn international
legal battle of years, was taken
from the grasp of the Gar Tues
day and given freedom and secur-
ity by Secretary of State EIihu
Root, who refused to grant the
Russian governments request
of his extradition on charges of
murder, arson and theft.
The real offence against Rudov-
itz was political and his release
was demanded by a million of
patriotic Americans after Com
missioner Foote at Chicago had
decided against him. America is
yet an asylum for the oppressed
Of every nation.

THE AGE or GRAFT

1t would be surprising if, in this
age of graft, some one were moi
making his pile out of the 80, Co.,.
600 purchase of the French Pana
ma bankrupt undertaking on the
isthmus and the hundreds of mil.
lions already spent and to'be ex.
pended in the construction of the
big ditch And it is surprising
that some investigation has moi
been called for sooner by congress-
While the president insists there
10 nothing to investigate, others
think differently.
Representative Rainey Of ILL
nois, in a speech Monday, arraign.
ed Senator Lodge for putting
through 81 100000 graft and &c
cuses William Nelson Cromwell,
Chas. P. Taft, Roger L. Farnham
and Others of being principals in
gigantic schemes of graft.
MI. Rainey says it is not the
psst Of craftsmanship to employ
oil the tremendous agencies of the
government in attempting TO crush
neW0papeFs which have hsd the
courage 10 call attention to a ques.
tionable transaction in connection
with the canal.
Tho plan OF Mr.. Cromwell and
his associates, he declared, wac to
absolutely appropriate to their
own use the revenues Of the Pana-
ma republic and to steal the for
ests and the public lands.
Mr.. Rainey referred to the fact
thas there was pending and about
TO b adopted in the general a..
sembly' Of Panama 1.-THE most in.
famous railroad proposition ever
submitted to any government"
The Monte Vista journal. (Monte Vista, Rio Grande County, Colo.) 1888-1921, 1909-01-30

can sounds warning from which
we quote as follows:
For those two veto messages
are the needed warming to the
nation that a water-power mon
opoly, now in its infancy, threat
ems the public with far more OPP
pressive and disastrous results
than the oil octopus-a growing
monopoly, the peril of which the
president does not exaggerate
when he pronounces it "the most
threatening which ever has APP
peared."
The firm stand taken by the
president against the granting of
monopolistic grants Of water
power rights without conditions
to protect the public is in accord
ance with the administrations adj
mirably comprehensive policy of
conservation of natural resources.
The reasons that actuate him were
thus set forth in his message last
spring:
"We are now at the beginning
of great development in water
power. Its use through electrical
transmission is entering more and
more largely into every element of
the daily life of people Already,
the evils of monopoly are becom-
ing manifest; already the expert
ence of the past shows the neces-
sity of caution in making unre-
stricted grants of this great power.
THE present policy pursued in
making these grants is unwise in
giving away the property of the
people in the flowing waters to in
dividuals or organizations practic-
ally unknown, and granting in per-
petuity these valuable privileges
in advance of the formulation of
definite plans as to their use"
Every man capable Of looking
into the future must see that
something must be done to replace
and relieve the drain upon the
nations fuel supply.
There is but one solution of the
problem-a return to water power.
This means no step backward to
the methods Of our grandsires; no
moving Of factories to the sides of
distant and inaccessible streams.
The development of electrical
energy and its utilization for light,
heat and power provide the answer.
1t does not mean dependence upon
the cracking mill wheel. 1t means
simply the singing Of a copper
wire over mountains and plains,
limitless and inexhausti-
BILE power to distant cities from
the source which nature will con-
stantly renew.
