phlets bearing on the subject OF a
strong navy. 1t declares that IL found
out that there was a systematic series
Of attacks on the navy by the Socialists,
made for the purpose Of discOuraging
eniStments, etc, the results Of which
the league claims to have fOrestalled
in a large degree through its publicity
campaign. Last year il had men in 80
different states write to their repre-
sentatives in congress in behalf Of the
two batteship proposition.
Coal Carrying ships Needed.
Another thing the Navy league stands
for is the upbuilding Of the American
Observation-Disclosures 1t asserts that 2
fleet Of battleships without coal sup
ply IS about as helpless as a dismantled
schooner in mid ocean, and that in case
of serious warfare with any other ma
ton we would not have coal carrying
ships to keep our fighting craft sup
piled. In his inquiries as to the rates
Of toll that should be charged on tho
Panama canal, Prof Emory Johnson,
former member OF the Panama canal
commission. found that the American
coastwise shipping is flOurishing under
It's low created monopoly Of the Amer1-
can coastwise carrying trade, and he
does not think 1t needs any further
stimulation AS to the international
carrying trade il IS admitted that the
United states is Woefuly short OF mer-
chant ships.
There are many views as to the cause
OF this and also as TO the way to rem
edy it. There are those who place the
blame on the protective tariff They
assert that in the first place, by max
ing shipbuilding materials higher
priced, it has become impossible for
the American shipbuilder to construct
a ship as cheaply as it can be built
abroad; and that consequently. for
eigners build the ships Likewise, the
cost Of operating a ship under the
American standard OF wages for sea
men Is so much larger that il Is use
less TO think about competition with
foreign carriers for international busi-
ness Furthermore, il is cOntended. the
tariff has enabled the American capi-
talist 60 earn so much more on his In
vestments at home than be could on
ships at sea, that he finds no attrac-
ton to put his money into ships in
stead Of factories, mines, and railroads
Many OF these premises are admitted
by the advocates Of a reha bilitated
merchant marine, also they nearly all
absOlve the tariff from responsibility
They say that the tariff built up great

OF everything that naval engineering
affords. Already the two latest au-
thOriZed ships, still unnamed, but
known as "36" and '37" have new fea-
lures Incorporated in them that are
possessed by no other battleships in the
world. For instance, while other navies
are still going ahead with turbines for
driving their battleships, the American
navy has gone back 10 the reciprocal
ing engine Extensive competitive tests
with the scout cruisers BirmtnSh cham,
Chester and Salem, and with the bat
tleships, Delaware and North Dakota,

fully as efficient as the turbine when
