DUTIES OF NAVY IMPORTANT
Secretary Tells Democrats if They
Want to Economic TO Gain Cour-
age TO Abolish Needless
Naval Yards.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.--Abandonmeut
of the program for two battleships this
year brought out statement from Secre,
tary Of tht Navy Meyer today. The
action of the democratic caucus last NIGH
also caused activity in the democratic
ranks in congress, with the result thai
another caucus TO reconsider the matateE
probably will be called.
Secretary Meyer arraiened the action
of the caucus as giving another illus
tration Of government by snap Judgment.
He asserted that the Monroe doctrine
Is as big as the navy and no bigger and
that the United States, guaranteeing the
neutrality Of the Panama canal. must be
prepared TO make good Its pledge.
Even with a continuous program of
two battleships a year" said Secretary
Meyer. 'the United States will fall a
little behind its present effective strength
for the reason that in another year four
Of our battleships. built during the same
period, viii become non-effective.
The dreadnaught type is the warship
OF the present day. One dreadnaught
built by a foreign power in excess Of
the number built by ourselvts Is equivs-
lent to wiping off our list at one stroke
the Indiana, Massachusetts,. oregon,
lows, Kearsarse and Kentucky.
We have an enormous extent Of coast
line; we have Alaska, Porto Rico. the
Philippines and Hawaii. and we have the
obligation to guard and protect Cuba and
maintain its neutrality. To perform these
obligations satisfactorily We must have
a strong sea-going fleet. The only sure
defense OF fhe country and the only as
surance Of safety is for the fleet TO be
able 10 seek out Its enemy on the high
seas and TO cripple or destroy H."
England. the statement declares, has au-
thorired for the coming year five dread
noughts and Germany three dreadnoughts
and one srmored cruiser. Japan Is said
TO have authorized five ships OF the lat
est dreadnought type and the use Of s7o,-
0Oc!co for new construction between 1911
and 1pi7.
The SECRETARY assgts thst the demo-
crats, might have brought about economy
s. they had had the courske to abolish
needless navy yards which are costing the
government several million dollars a year
for maintenance alone.
"a navy fer the nation and not for
local interests is what should be sought"
the statement concludes.
