irg them words of wisdom. How false
and dangerous they are is now made
clear. If we want peace, then we must
prepare for it. Armaments are a con-
slant menace to the peace of the
world. Whatsoever a nation sows that
shall it also reap. If it sows bayonets,
it reaps battles. Armed peace, there
fore, is a fatal policy. Nations that
adopt it are doomed. Incessant pre-
partitions for war invite the very
catastrophe they are expected to ward
off. The great war in Europe is the
outgrowth of the policy of armed
peace"

But who shall tell us now what sort
of navy to build?. We shall take leave

ture as in the past. and there will be
no thought Of offense or Of pr%ovocation
In that. Our ships are our natural

us just what kind we should construct.
and when will they be right for ten
years together, if the relative efficiency
of craft of different kinds and uses
continues to change as we have seen
1t change under our very eyes in these
last few months?
But | turn away from the subject.
1t Is not new There is no new need
to discuss it. We shall not alter our
attitude toward it because some among
us are nervous and excited. We shall
easily and sensibly agree upon a policy
Of defense. The question has not
changed its aspects because the times
are not normal. Our policy will not
be for an occasion. 1t will be conceiv-

which we will pursue at all seasons
without haste and after a fashion per-
fectly consistent with the peace of the
world, the abiding friendship Of states
and the unhampered freedom Of all
with whom we deal. Let there be no
misconception. The country has been
