what this deficiency S. how long it has existed
and what is the remedy for II, The militarists
themselves claim that the deficiency is total
that We have no adequate forces on land or sea;
that this situation has existed for long period
OF years. and that the only remedy lies in
larger appropriations by Congress
A study OF national history for the sixteen
wears that preceded the last two reveals the
fact that the Republican party itself was in con

advocates to be necessary TO their plans In

state OF the American army and navy give the
