PEACE DEPENDS ON wARSHIPS

Points Out Need Of More AuxiIaries
and Fact Other Countries Are
Gaining on Us.

Washington, Dec. with plea
that there shall be no decrease In the
effective strength of the United States
Navy, George Won l.. Meyer, secretary
of the navy in his annual report Ia
Congress, declares that while seeking
movement for general arbitration

that America "is prepared for war"
The short life of a warship for first

mately twenty ycars-has caused the

not to increase the navy, but to main
tain it at its existing Strength. This
strength, he says is being diminished
by the elimination from active service
of the battlcships first constructed for
the new navy"
Necessity of a Navy.
"The recommendation, he says. for
a continuing naval policy which will
give us the fleet desired is made with
la due regard for the almost world
wide movement for the settlement of
international disputes by arbitration,
I'm which movement our country has
taken foremost part. History of all
kinds. including the present, shows the
futility and danger Of trusting to the
good will and fair dealing, or even to
the most solemnly binding treaties be-
tween nations for the protection of a
M 4 ION ria nd in aet
and without doubt, the time is remote
when a comparatively unarmed and
helpless nation may be reasonably safe
from attack by ambitious well armed
powers, especially in commercial age
such as the present. The economical
system of a great commercial nation is
SO delicately balanced that even
threat Of war Is very disturbing and
harmful while war with any other
great power would cause incalculable
damage. and IL is more necessary now
than ever before that we should be
fully prepared and that every other
power should understand that while
seeking peace, we are prepared for
war"
Auxiliares Are Needed.
The United States, Secretary Meyer
says. Is far i'm the rear of the leading
naval powers in projected naval con-
struction. even ON the basis of two new
battleships a year.
Mr.. Meyer submits estimates for two
battleships and two cOlliers only. This
is i'm line with the policy of several
years standing of building two battle
ships year. In addition TO this, the
secretary indicates that the navy
would welcome one of the new type of
cruisers such as Great Brit
ain. Germany and Japan are building.
He further points out that there is a
great deficiency in the number of cruis-
ers. scouts. destroyers, submarines and
auxiliaries for the maintenance and
protection of the battle fleet.
He suggests that all of these auxil-
iaries need not be ordered at once, but
stretched over number of years. Dis
turbances i'm Asia and Central Ameri-
ca, nccessitating the protection of in
