submarines, fifteen coast submarines,
one gunboat, one ammunition ship and
one repair ship.
More Men for the Ships.
The Secretary Of the Navy is asking
also for the immediate addition to the
personnel of the navy of 1900 sailors,
2.5OO apprentice seamen and 800 ma
rines. This increase would be suii-
Gent to care for the ships which are TO
be completed within the fiscal year
1917, and also for the number Of men
which must be put in training TO man
the ships which will be completed early
in 1918. II is also necessary that the
number Of midshipmen at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis should be in
creased by ~ loost 800. In order That
the force Of officers should be more
rapidly added 70; and authority IL
asked TO appoint, for engineering du-
ties only, approved graduates of engi-
neering colleges, and for service in the
aviation corps "A certain number Of men
taken from civil life.
II this full programme should be car
ried out we should have built, or build
ing. in 1921, according to the estimates
of survival and standards Of classiii-
cation followed by the General BOARD OF
the department, an effective navy con-
sisting of q battleships of the first
line, 6 battle cruisers, 25 battleships
of the second line, 10 armored cruisers.
IS scout cruisers, first class cruisers,
3 second class cruisers, 10 third class
cruisers, 10S destroyers, 10 feet sub
marines, 1877 coast submarines, mont
tors, 20 gunboats, { supply ships, Is
fuel ships, transports, 3 tenders to
torpedo vessels, vessels Of special
types and ammunition ships. This
would be a navy fitted to our needs
and worthy Of our traditions.

Must Meet Pledges
to the FiliDinOS

There is another matter which seems
70 me 20 be very Intimately as ocIated
with the question of national safety
and preparation for defence. That IS
our policy toward the Philippines and
The neonie Of Porto Rico. Our treat
ment Of them and their attitude toward
us are manifcstly Of the first conse-
quence in the development of our du-
ties in the world and in getting a free
hand TO perform those duties. We
must be free from every unnecessary
burden or embarrassment, and there is
no better way to be clear OF embarrass-
ment than 10 fulfil our promises and
promote the interests of those depend
ent on Us 20 the utmost. Bills for he
alteration and reform Of the govern
ment OF the Philippines and for rem
dering fuller political justice 20 the peo-
ple Of Porto Rico were submitted 70 the
Sixty-third Congress. They will be
submitted also 20 you. need not par
ticularize their details. You are most
of YOU already familiar with them.
But | do recommend them 20 your early
adoption, with the sincere conviction
that there are few measures you could
adopt which would more serviceably
clear the way Cor the great policies by
which we wish 20 make good, now and
always. our right TO lead in enterprises
Of peace and good will and economic
and political freedom.

Calls for Creation

sidered II we are TO consider the su-
preme matter Of national self-suih-
cheney and security in all its aspects.
There are other great matters which
will be thrust upon our attention.

trade and shipping involved In this
great problem Of national adequacy. II
is necessary for many weighty reasons
of national efficiency and development
that We should have a great merchant
marine. The great merchant feet wa
once used to make US rich, that great
body of sturdy sailors who used to
carry our flag into every sea, and who
were the pride and often the bulwark
of the nation, we have almost driven
out OF existence by inexcusable neglect
and indifference and by a hopelessly
blind and provincial policy Of so-called
economic protection. II Is high time
we repaired our mistake and resumed
our commercial independence on the
seas.
