ing Interest in Naval Affairs.

Truman H. Newberry. just returned
from 5000 mile automobile trip
through France and Switzerland, Is
rs enthusiastic about naval matters
as when he was secretary OF the navy
on his trip abroad he took a keen In.
terest In ihe naval ornaments and
naval programs OF other countries aad
had the opportunity OF meeting sew
cral OF the highest officials OF the
British navy. He will now take hold
as vice-president Of the Navy League
League OF the United States to arouse
American interest IN naval affairs
Il intend TO give great deal Of
time TO this organization. says MIR.
Newberry. In Germany. they have
naval league of 10000 persons, and
that is why the German government
has so little difficulty In keeping up
interest In its naval program. The
people there understand the situation
and stand behind their government
An adequate American navy is just
a matter OF insurance for us-insur-
ance for the billion dollars worth OF
trade that we do annually. which
would all be tied up in case OF war
unless we had sea power to protect
II. II we had tax OF one-tenth CT
enc per cent OF that commerce, II
would provide the navy department
with much more money than is allow
ed now.
The matter of adequate navy goes
hand-in-aand with that for merchan.
marine We should get back 20 the
time when the United States had its
own ships and It's own sailors. Each
year we spend tens of millions on I'M
provements of our harbors and rivers
for the use OF vessels OF other ma
tons Every year we pay s30O.OOO,00O
10 foreign vessel-owners 10 carry our
commerce. That all comes out OF the
balance of trade.
Now that the tariff has ceased TO
be a party issue. the question OF ma
rine may become so.
While abroad Mr.. Newberry was
particularly struck by the excellence
OF the foreign roads, the liberal APP
preparations of the government IN
France having done great deal TO
improve the highways of that country,
while the prizes offered by the Tour
ing Club of France nave caused emu
lation among the road-masters TO keep
their stretches Of road always In re-
pair.
