OUR NAVAL POLICY.

Even if Congress should authorize
the building of two new battleships
this year the country would have but
twelve dreadnoughts to look to for
protection onshore i'm 1914. In 1914
Great Britain will have no less than
thirty-three of these twentieth CEN
tury warshps, which. as Secretary
Meyer says, are today the real meas
ure of naval power. Germany will
have twenty-nine; France and Japan
not less than ten each. Moreover. ia
pan will then be in the midst of her
most extraordinary period Of naval
expansion, according to the present
program, with the prospect of be-
coming the most formidable rival of
Germany and Great Britain on the sea.
The United States will be a poor third.
at any rate, though she now occupies
second place, having one more dread
nought than Germany.
II will never do, in these days when
ticklish problems are continually turn
ing up on the shores of the two big
oceans, for the United States to he
by a niggardly policy. !

ships falls fiat If we are In face the
