The copper era and Morenci leader., 1915-10-15
NAVY LEAGUE OF
 UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. S.-A stirring warming of the dangers of unpreparedness and a thrilling appeal to the Nations Legislators to pro ivde proper defenses to protect this countrys honor from blemish and to secure its shores against foreign in vasion was made by Senator Henry F. Ashurst, of Prescott, Arizona, at the National Preparedness Luncheon of the Navy League at the New Will lard Hotel.
 MT. Ashurst also made a vigorous appeal for American labor in Ameri- ca's mines and foundries He drew attention to the fact that most of the mines in this country from which our supplies of metal and fuel are drawn are operated by aliens whose sympathies in case of war would naturally be with the countries of their birth Should war break out, he declared, nothing could prevent these men from doing incalculable damage and crippling the entire metal and fuel productions of our country which would be so materially needed.
 MT. Ashurstis spech is as follows:
 With our Nation leading in com merce, wealth, enlightenment and christianity; with our nation teach ing the other powers of the earth lessons in true moral courage, jus tice and magnanimity, and with our country setting the world an exam pie in moderation, forbearance and prudence, our people calmly discuss the means that will keep our na- tion in the paths of peace and se- urity.
 If the man who gives his family over to the dangers and vicissitudes Of his neglect and indolence is de serving of censure and scorn, how much greater should be the contempt and censure for the public servant who, sworn to protect and defend his country neglects his duty, evades his obligations, and exposes not only his family, but his constituency-in. deed his entire nation, to the dangers of conquest defeat and degradation: To neglect ones liberty is to lose it; to neglect ones country is tc perish with it.
 ''The 63rd Congress with it's unparal Ielled record of constructive legisla tion, acting under the leadership ot the President of the United State: and upon the report of the Secretary of the Navy, authorized a construc tion of additional dreadnaughts, de stroyers, submarines and other nee essary craft; for, while it is easy and pleasing to indulge in self deceptions

and thus evade the unwelcome thought of national defeat or degra- dation, it is neither wise, judicious, nor statesmanlike to do so. It is wiser and safer to be on guard and preclude all possibility of danger than to hide our fears of danger in the secret recesses of our closets.
 "The World seems out of joint now, and it is better for us to be sure than sorry" In day of trouble we can not instantaneously convert sleepy fat self assurances in to national security. Men may be heroes, but unless they are drilled, their heroism will end only in unavail- ing martyrdom. Our caverns and mountains are filled with copper and tiron ore, but these cannot be instant ly metamorphosed into battleships. Preparation and vigilance only can work the necessary changes. Men do not ascend to eminence, strength and power by single leap nor by growth overnight. It is only by strady tread that man moves up the rugged path to success. Those who reach eminence and distinction are those who subject their lives to the fierce fires of intellectual and physical endeavor. Success and efficiency come only after many years of anxious striving and long sustain ed effort. So it is with a nation. It holds its place and preserves its liberty only by never becoming care less and by never despising nor under rating an opponent. Ever since the days of the children of Noah men have sought to build them tower which they might ascend and thus es- cape the hardships. Of this world. But such cannot be- Under Natures harsh but profound laws, we must meet and overcome dangers and per ! form duties; we cannot build a tower lofty enough to take us above and beyond the trials and duties of this life
 | 50, in consideration of these truths, Congress saw the need for a healthy and steady growth of our Navy. When Congress adopted measures for our national defense we simply take additional guarantees for the security mad repose of the American people additional guaran. tees that, though, passion in, other lands may there hurl reason from her throng, nothing shall deter the United States from its course oi wisdom and justice, we take the pre-
 caution to guard our people, who de mand justice, not ignoble revenge and who show strength or heart an6 steadfast self control.
 Whatever the 64th Congress shal
 do, will be done with heroism, no
 revenge. Not parsimony, not wftt
 dreams of conquest.
 ''The United States is the friend, not
 the enemy of other nations, and we
 seek only to repel the hostile in

PHILADELPHIA, o 30.-John Wana-

let President Wilson use II at the OPP

When that time comes We should
have the fullest Information on which
to lsgislate. At the present time the
Railroads are handicapped. We have
seen an example very recently In the

AN investigation to be OF value
should be open to the carriers and the
shippers alike. Every interest involved
In the transportation should be fully
