States devoted to a discussion of ma
tional preparedness.

selves said Mr.. Daniels. "On our
farms we grow more than the republic
can consume. We must feed much of
the world. We have the right also to
aid in clothing the world and supplying
people in every CLINE with whatever is
manufactured In our mills and fac
tories. But how can we will our
larger mission? What avail teeming
harvests and large production IN fac
tories without adequate and reasonable
water transportation? The securing Of
an adequate merchant marine Is q
pressing problem and 1t is so tied up
with the enlarging and strengthening
of our navy that the two can not be
wisely separated.
THE naval program Of the admin
istration is a constructive and progress
sive one and II built according to the
continuous five year program-the first
continuing program ever proposed by

year 1921, thirty-three capital ships Of
