Adequate Defense is
Favored By President.

a navy of sufficient size to ade-
quately defend the United States
from attack is favored by President
Wilson. The country, as the presi-
dent says, is not preparing for war,
but is preparing for its defense
adequate defense, and in order to OBJ
tain this it will be necessary to have
a much larger navy, better equipped
navy and a better trained navy. The
first of these is to be obtained by
authorizing the construction of ships.
The last two named can be secured
when these ships are built according
to the latest models of fighters and
by giving the men the proper train
ing.
Unless, for purpose of comparison,
we regard the British empire as a
whole, the United States has the
longest coast line of any frst-class
power, and the foundation for the de-
Tense Of that coast line, to say moth
ing of our colonial interests, must
always be fleet rupable of being
massed at any threatened point on
either coast, strong enough to be di-
vided with safety, should occasion for
division arise, and able even to carry
war abroad as defensive measure.
The tentative programme of which
the president approves will provide
four battle cruisers; two dread
noughts, with heavier batteries than
the battle cruisers, but with lesser
speed; thirty coast defense subma.
rines; six ocean-going submarines
twenty-five torpedo boat destroyers;
number of auxiliaries; an adequate
aeroplane squadron and a scout
cruiser. The cost of this excellen;
plan, which recognizes alike the value
of the dreadnought and the subma-
rine, without running to extremes
in either type, viii be about $50 ,000,-
600 for new construction alone. That
is a large sum, and it represents 8
part only of the naval budget, if the
building already authorized is to be
carried on and suitable provision
made for increasing the personnel.
