in Congress at the very moment of the
opening of the Panama Canal, which
adds enormously to American naval re-

ANY one can see there is one little is
land power In that ocean which realizes
the value of a navy"
Rousseau, after pointing out that
Germany has displaced the United
States as the second naval power after
| Great Britain, adds that the decadence
of the fleet Is not due to inherent weak
nesses, but the force suffers from politi-

He predicts that the naVy's glory will

Aside from these criticisms Rousseau
in common with many other naval writ
