this country of late a certain amount
Of misconception in regard to the
Value and Importance OF the greatest
Of instruments OF naval warfare, the
battleship. This is enhanced in the
minds OF some of a misconception of
what national defense means.
Strictly speaking. IL national de-
Tense applies solely to the prevention
OF an armed landing on our Atlantic
Or Pacific coasts, no navy at all Is
necessary.
But IL defense means also the pro.

United States as world nation, It's
commerce, its increasing population
and resources In Alaska and other
territory cut off from the United
States except by sea, its mankind

navy become necessary.
And IL a navy Is necessary the sue.
cess Of that navy against any other
naval power demands that II be able
to receive and repel an attack In
force anywhere on the high seas with.
in that sphere in which American In
terests lie.
When all is said and done it Is the

naval war in INTERPRETATIONS
whether they had an opportunity to
engage In actual battle or by their
mere presence and existence were
able TO, prevent the enemy from car.
rying out their designs.
When American naval experts first
laid down In 1903 a definite policy OF
what was required for adequate naval
defense they stated that this country
should have completed by the year
1913 IS battleships. This meant, OF
course, As. effective ships and exclud.
ed those over 20years old.
The United State has at present
42 battleships built, building or au.
thorized; and the two authorized but
not yet started will not be completed
much before 1919. This number in.
cludes also six ships completed be.
fore 1899, therefore, over 20 years old
in 1919.
II will thus be seen that II the next
congress authorizes the construction
OF two battleships to be completed by
1919, the number OF effective ships
less than 20 years old will In 1919 be
only IS!
In regard TO the quality OF The bat.
tleshtps OF our navy, we believe no
other nation possesses more effective
ships. The United States has through.
out its history stood for ships of heavy
gun powder. The so-called dread.
