WANTS MORE BATTLEsHlPs,
Representative Hobson Says Pacific
Coast is Defenseles.

Representative Hobson Says Pacific
Coast is Defenseles.
Washington, March 28.-"Our ma
.tional defenselessness," was the theme
around which Representative Hobson,
Democrat, Alabama, voiced prophecy
of disaster in the house late this after
noon. A startling array of facts as to
our unpreparedness for war as col
lected by the general staff of the army
was the basis for the appeal of the
hero of the Spanish-Americaa war for
immediate action by congress. He
declared it was imperative that larg-
er navy be authorized at once if the
United States would stave off possible
invasion by foreign enemy in the fu-
ture.
ANY European nation of the first
power, said Hobson, "that has an
adequate army and merchant marine
| will take Germany merely as an il
lustration could put 200, 900 men
aboard ships in a single expedition.
One-half could land on the coast of
Long Island and the other half on
the coast of New Jersey and inside of
few weeks they could seize Washing
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York without resistance.
Hobson said he would probably offer
an amendment to the naval bill calling
for six battleships.
1--WE need that many a year. he
said, ito maintain the equilibrium
existing among the nations"
Referring to conditions on the Pacific
coast, Hobson said:
sit is unfortunate that | cannot re-
fer to existing conditions on the Pa
cific coast without these peace dream
ers crying out war and jingoism, but
you can all verify for yourselves, you
who have no knowledge of existing
conditions, that the city of San Francis
co cannot regulate her own schools as
she desires. The legislators of Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington cannot
today legislate upon segregation of the
yellow people.
Those legislators were told to drop
that dangerous question. l will tell
you why. We are defenseless on the
Pacific ocean.
The Japanese navy is rated at AGO.
600 tons, and ours at sos, 900 tons.
All of our sos, 900 tons substantially
is in the Atlantic ocean and has to stay
there.
do you think I am talking war7 | !
am trying to arrange this equilibrium
in the Pacific ocean under which we
could come to mutual concessions and |
solve the problem.
81 am trying to take the only way
to prevent war"

our naval force shall be doubled by the
