FAVORS ADEQUATE NAVY

Franklin d. Roosevelt Assistant Sec
retary OF the Navy, testifying before the
House Naval Affairs Committee yester-
DAY. showed that he favors an adequate
navy and is not in harmony with the
idea that the navy is sufi1cient Tor na-
tional defense He not only reiterated
his statement that the navy Is lS'VO
shortage of 1900.
I've are between 10000 and $1,000 short
OF the needs of the navy for war, accord
ing to the confidential plans of the gen
eraI board" said Mr.. Roosevelt. This
includes men to man transports, GOLFERS
and all auxiliaries, and men who would
be needed for increased construction that
would follow hostilities.
Liquidation Is Needed.
There are two important things that
mus, be done to bring the efficiency Of
the navy up to high standard In the opin-
ion Of Mr. Roosevelt. There must be
early legislation creating an adequate
naval reserve upon which to draw IN
times Of threatened danger, and the ef-
ficiency of the naval militia must be de-
veIoped much better than It now is.
Mr. Roosevelt explained that 1t re-
ouIres months to develop crews. Men
must get acquainted with their ship and
duties and there must be coordination
he pointed out. Take turret crew, Tor
instance. 1t must be trained until the
work OF every man dovetails with that
of his fellows, II the highest efficiency
rs TO be obtained"
Are we, in view of the present war;
less prepared than formerly?' Mr.. Roose-
welt was asked.
Yes, comparatively. Other. nations
have taken all sorts OF measures directed
towards actual war, measures that nat
uraIly we have not taken, and for. that
reason they are much better able TO de-
fend themselves than we would now be-
He admitted that confidential reports
showed that foreign nations now at war
had greatly increased their submarine
strength and that official reports of the
Navy Department on that point are not
accurate
I'VE should have forty-eight first-class
battleships," said Mr.. Roosevelt. That
would give us a feet equal to but not
superior to one or two powers"
