GREAT NAVY URGED
RATHER THAN ARMY
Inventor Says e. 8. Safety Lies
in Warships and the Mon
roe Doctrine.

Belief that the Monroe Doctrine plus
a strong navy will make II unnecessary
for the United States TO build up a
large army was argued yesterday by
Henry A.. Wise Wood. a member Of Sec
rotary Daniels's Board OF Inventions, be-
fore the Technology Club. IL Gramercy
Square. In this address. "by a tech
nician TO teehnicians." the inventor said
the United States, as far as its military
Is concerned, has fallen into decay and
a best rehabilitate itself on the prin-
ciple that prevention is better thar cure.
The hundred technicians, after the
luncheon, listened with the greatest In
terest as Mr.. Wood spoke Of the Mon
roe Doctrine In its relation to national
defence. ut Is absolutely essential" he
said. that the United States have the
second largest navy In the world. We
need powerful fleets on each side OF the
Panama Canal. which can be made USE
less by a single stick Of dynamite.
at has ever been a fallacious prin-
ciple of American statesmen that we can
depend on diplomacy to get us out OF
trouble. We are laughed at in Europe
for our doctrines on these matters. Eu-
ropeans think we are a lot OF unedu.
Gated children. II IL useless at his day
TO argue the futility OF treaties and In
ternational law. We nave not had many
international crises. We are not pre-
pared to meet them"
The speaker skilfully explained his
contention that the Monroe Doctrine, en-.
forced by a strong navy. will be a more
certain means of defence than any army
without the doctrine. could possibly be
by repeating "A conversation he had or
the subject with "a leading lawyer Of
New England" The lawyer stated hi.
belief that the American people are tlrec
OF the Monroe Doctrine and Insisted that
the United States would do well to b,
content 10 live within It's four WALL
without going abroad for new response
blitics."
"Would YOU like to see Mexico oc.
cup!ed by a foreign power?' asked MIR
Wood.
No. his ~disputant would o like TO se,
that, nor the occupation OF countries be-
tween Mexico and the canal. In fact. hs
finally admitted hat IL would be unwist
to let any foreign Power establish q
military base in South America
THE canal is protected against shiI
fire At its approaches" said Mr. Wool
but il is not insured against the ap.
prolch OF an investing army. We must
make it impossible for a foreign Power
20 obtain "A military foothold In the coun.
tries south of us. The maintenance OF
the Monroe Doctrine by means of q
powerful navy will rid US OF the need OF
a huge standing army"

tary Redheld wired United States At

thority to suspend Reid and Eckliff Sec

found only one. ThIt was in the case
of an inspector who went over the Gen.

This inspector was indicted by the
Federal Grand Jury. but on the direct
order OF President Roosevelt he was
