tary's Study of British
Methods.

Westinghouse Secretary Of the Navy
George Won L, Meyer, in his an
nual report submitted to the pres
ident, recommended that congress pro
vide for building two new battle
ships and two golfers at its coming
session. He explained the policy of
building two new battIeships each
year-not to increase the navy, but
to keep it of an even strength of
about 40 battleships, those over 90
years old being practically worthless
because of progress in methods of
naval warfare
The Recommendation for a contin-
uinS policy" he said. which will give
us the feet desired is made with a
due regard for the almost worldwide
movement for the settlement of inter
national disputes by arbitration, in
which movement our country has
taken a foremost part.
Satisfaction was expressed with the
progress made in aviation by the navy
ayiators. The secretary declared he
expects this branch Of the service to
become an important one. eventually
each battleship being equipped with
aeroplanes for scouting purposes.
The report spoke of Secretary, Mey-
er'S visit to England and contained
several recommendations as the result
Of his official study Of conditions in
the British navy.
The secretary recommended the es-
adjustment on scientific basis of
naval militia and reserve army, ="
composed of vessels that could be
pressed into service in time Of urgent
need.
The naval mobilization Of Novem-

ample Of what the money Of the tax
payers had been spent for. The sec

President Taft, given out immediate

Downward and Defends
Wool Veto.

New Workman interview given at
Hot Springs, Va, recently and which
was in the Outlook. President Taft
gives his views of the achievements
and failure of his administration to
date.
In defending his vetoes at the last
session the president characterizes the
/ legislation sent him as so crude and
iII-digested that its authors must have
known he could not approve it.
The presidents chief objection to a
needlessly high tariff is that it nour-

is doing a most useful work, Celebrates

existing tariff, argues for an income

his confidence regarding the ''unfin-

term
Chief on the list the president places
reductions in the wooden and cotton
schedules, and possibly in the metal
schedules. These will be founded, he
says, as far as his recommendations
are concerned, on the report of the
tariff board. Putting he whole matter
up to congress, he says, he will leave
the members to settle with their con-
stituents if they prefer not to act Con-
corning the possible attitude of the
Insurgents, he naively says: Where

Expressing the satisfaction he would

lent makes this Enthusiastically
frank statement: But | have not
