ATTACKS ON THE
FOREIGN POLICY
OF The COUNTRY
Former Secretary of Navy
Declares Trouble With
Navy Department Is That
1t Has No Brain.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Attacks on the
administrations foreign policy with
pointed references to the utter state
OF unpreparedness of the army and
navy and the awakening of public
opinion on the subject of adequate de-
fense were features or the addresses
by prominent speakers before the Ma
tional Security league today. Henry
A. Wise Wood arraigned the admins
tration's foreign policies. George Won
L. Meyer, former secretary OF the navy,
declared the fundamental defect OF the
navy is that It has no brain.
Wood said the United States should
formulate a naval policy that would
bear the full brunt, II necessary, OF
coalition of powers. He advocated
naval policy that would maintain at
all times in the Atlantic a force su-
perior to that OF Germany and in the
Pacific n force superior to that Of
Japan, TO protect the Panama canal
against capture or destruction by land
or sea or injury by air. Mr.. MYer de-
clared that no competent military or
ganization was charged with the prep
aration of fleets for war or with their
conduct in war and in consequence the
navy was being built and administered
on a peace basis and was not being
efficiently prepared for war service.

GOVERNMENT WINS
FIRST LEGAL POINT

San Francisco, Jan. 21.-The govern
ment won the opening legal skirmish
yesterday IN the United States district
court in the first of Its six suits to
wrest from the Southern Pacific com
pany more than $500, 100000 in Califor-
mia oil lal Is.
This was accomplished by Judge 3.
f. Bledsoe's ruling admitting admis-
sion into the record testimony of
Southern Pacific officials in the recent
ly argued Southern Pacific Central
Pacific unmerger suit that Charles
Crocker, Coils P. Huntington, Mark
Hopkins and Leland Stanford repre-
sented, as California's pioneer railroad
builders, a single interest.
The significance of Judge Bledsoe's g
ruling, according to the government
attorneys, lies in the proposition that
If the government can prove, as 1t
hopes to, that there was fraud in the
patenting of government lands by one
unit Of the Stanford Hopkins Hunt
ington- Crocker interests, fraud lies on
the part of the other units.
