Baltimore News:

Announcement by Secretary of the
Navy Meyer that Pearl Harbor will
be the great American naval base in
the Pacific ocean has called attention
to the fact that this country is slowly
but surely strengthening it's grip on
that part Of the Pacific region to which
it lays claim. That grip is not yet so
strong that it could not be shaken
loose by a sudden attack in force. AT
the same time, it is becoming tsrong
enough TO induce a certain measure
of confidence in our ability to hold our
own in that part of the world which
was wanting few years ago. When
the Panama canal is completed, with
the gradual upbuilding of Notifications
at strategic points in the Pacific there
will be NO reason for apprehension
from any quarter.

SAN FRANCISCO, December s.
War has broken out between the city
of San Francisco and the city of San
Diego over the question of celebrat-
ing the opening of the Panama Canal
six years from now.
There was an enthusiastic meet
ing of the business men of this city
last night, attended by representa-
tives of. the big business interests,
at which the matter of the 1915 cele-
bration and worlds exposition was
taken up and endorsed. Representa-
tives of San Diego, which city had
spoken first for the exposition and
celebration, were present at the
meeting and bitterly opposed the
plans of the San Franciscans.
1t was decided that a committee
from each city meet on neutral
ground in Los Angeles and endeavor
to reach an agreement as to which
city will have the privilege of lead
ing in the rejoicing over the com
pletion of the canal.

MEANING Of THE
DECISION IN FAVOR
OF PEARL HARBOR
Continued from page 81

that he regards the Panama Canal "a
the key to the hold Of the Pacific He
threshed this all out in the Roosevelt
Cabinet three years ago and he is 10
day the best informed man in his Ad-
ministration in all the elements OF that
problem. 1t is not necessary for
him to rely on any military expert in
either arm of the service for advice.
The vulnerable feature Of the pro
posed naval base appears to the rear
on the northern side of the island of
Oahu. Here is a long stretch Of
sloping country where a landing would
be attempted. On the northeastern
side of the island is a range of noun
tains 5000 feet high, and on the south
western side is another range 1000 feet
nigh. There are few passes in these
ranges and they could be held with
field artiledy against great odds. This
point of attack would be the stretch
of seashore to the northwest, about
20 miles wide, from Kaena Point to
Kahuku Point The water runs out
at a very gradual increase of depth
and presents a very favorable oppor-
tunity for attack. It would take a
mobile army to defend the place in
war-at least 10000 men.
Probably the plan that would be de-
cided on for the defense of this re-
gion will be to place at intervals along
the shore mortar batteries that could
stand off a naval attack. Twelve
inch mortars. firing high-eXplosive pro-
jectiIes and siege guns, throwing the
new shrapnel, would make it no place
for discreet saiormen or foot soldiers
intent on landing.
There is being constructed at Pearl
Harbor now a large drydock which
will be enlarged in the course of a
year or two. 1t was intended to make
it 100 feet long and wide enough with
cross partitions to accommodate sew
eral ships at once. The insuficiency
of the appropriation made it necessary
to make the length of the dock, $40
feet. ana IL Will be constructed so that
it may easily be heightened. This
dock is being built by the San Fran
cisco Dredging Company at cost OF
81, 100000. 1t will be completed the
latter part Of 1911.

fuse to acknowledge that If we expect
to play a world-power part in the
Orient we must be prepared to back up
our rights with guns if necessary.
There is not a power in Europe that
would not give billions of dollars
tor our opportunity to secure a per-
manent foothold near Manila. That
opportunity came to us through ques-
tlonable means, but the die is cast
and we can not help the past. We can,
however, attone for our duplicity to-
ward the Filipinos by granting them
independence, and in return they would
be only too willing to give us a naval
base near Manila that would be to a
certain extent protection to them
from any ambitious foreign nation and
an assurance to us that we could with
reasonable safety go ahead and build
up trade with China and without be-
ing subjected to any bulldozing from
European powers
Pearl Harbor is excellent for one
naval base in the Pacific, for the rea-
son that it could be utilized If our
western coast were threatened. Jap
an has undoubtedly worked out theo-
retically just what she would do in the
event of a war with the United States
and of course an invasion by way of
our Pacific coast is part of the pro-
gram. But she will have to do some
more figuring. now that Pearl Harbor
is to be made a strong naval base, and
the problem will be a knotty one to
solve even theoretically, while prac-
tically it would prove impossible OF
solution, we are firmly convinced. Ha-
wall is specially adapted by nature to
Notifications and we can make the
islands practically mpregnable. This
should be done. in order that there will
be no possibility Of Japan capturing the
islands if at any time she should see
fit to make the attempt while we had
only a few warships there. With a
bic naval base at Pearl Harbor, in ad-
dition to land fortifications that would
make Hawaii impregnable, no hostile
fleet could ever reach our western
coast, provided we keep our navy up
to the efficiency of other naval powers
We can not overlook the fact that
without such protection the Pacific
coast of the United States could be
invaded at almost any time, Accident
or Providence has thrown in our way
the means of making that coast safe
and no picayune baking at the eXpen-
diture of the money ecessary to do il
should have any weight with Congress
or the administration.

Philadelphia Bulletin:
The significance of this decision
seems tolerably plain. 1t is that the
administration, while regarding the
Philippines, as territory likely to be
held under our flag FOR an indefinite
period, does not consider it advisable
to invest huge sums in military and
naval works in this remote region in
view of future possibilities which may
radically change it's status.
Hawaii is firmly anchored to the
United States. OF that there is no
doubt in the mind of any American.
The great station which is to be
brought into being at Pearl Harbor,
only a few miles from Honolulu, and
which is to be equipped with ample de-
fences and strongly garrlsoned, will
cinch and fortify American owner
ship. What we shall ultimately dc
with the Philippines is another ques-
! ton.
