QUESTION or NATIONAL DEFENSE

QUESTION OF NATIONAL DEFENSE
II Continuing. he said:
More serious still than the COM
mercial aspect of this subject is the
question, of national defense. / see no
immediate danger of war, but if war
ever does come | want my country to
/ be prepared. Our only guarantee of
peace in the Pacific is to keep a big
warship feet on this coast. Our war
department reports show that in the
event of war 22S vessels would be
needed for the army alone and 80 of
! them within 10 days If every Ameri-
can vessel in home ports could be Sc
cured at once we couldn't get SIS in Is
months
Germany, Japan, Russia and the
United States have been rapidly build
/ ing great navies. but Russia and the
United States are the only nations that
ever committed the colossal folly of
not building at the same time an aux
! Hilary merchant marine. The sunlIen
vessels Of Russia during the war with
Japan tell the story of her awful mis-
take Is il going to take the hell of
war TO teach us the same lesson?
/ suppose there should be war with
Japan. Japan could land 100000 men
/ I'm the Philippines and 100000 in Hawaii
before we could get 10000 embarked
from any port in the country. Japan
Z
United. States has just IL in the Pa
cific.
BATTLESHIPS HELPLESS
THE United States could not place
$4,000 troops in the Philippines in two
years in her own ships. Japan could
do this and have two months to reach
and ravage our western coast before
our feet could come around from the
Atlantic But, worse than that, the
fleet could not come. If war were de-
clared our battleships could not leave
the harbor in which they were lying.
In case of war foreign ships could not
carry coal for our navy and there are
no American ships. What is the use in
spending Sl00,000,00 year in building
navy that in time of war could be ut
terly useless, forced to lie under the
guns of land fortresses for protection?
We have come to the parting of the
ways. The navy is useless without the
merchant marine. We must have both.
And 1 prophesy that we will have
both"
Congressman Humphrey summed up
the attempts that nave been made to
secure the needed ship subsidy legisla-
ton, pointing out that it lost during
the last session of congress by but two
votes He predicted victory during
the coming session, dependent only
upon the education of the middle west.
He showed that the subsidy was the
only logical method and that a prf-
vately owned auxiliary would be far
more inexpensive than government
owned feet of transports He pointed
out that irrigation. harbor improve
ments. railroads, farming and every
other commercial enterprise are sub
sidized Then why not a ship subsidy?
he asked.

addresses of the day and made a

half of the community, and if the girls
were not good there was no oppor-
tunity to make the boys good.
Bishop O'Connell closed the afternoon
session by brief address, in which he
said that he did not believe that mod

more noble and beneficial than the
juvenile court. He considered it. he
said. the one spot where the church,
state and civilization met and Coop
Grated 1t was impossible for him to
believe child a felon, he said and to
send boys and girls to prison seemed
to him an infamy which he thanked
heaven we had outgrown. He said in

and OWNER day, ana ne mad observed
it's success everywhere. He expressed
his delight in cooperating with the
work, which he considered essentially
noble.
