The Needs of the Navy.

ITO free the navy we need ample
coast defenses manned by a hundred
thousand men. and mobile regular
army of one hundred and fifty thousand
men. As regards the navy. call your
attention to the fact that the statement
In the Presidents message as to what
the present naval program will produce
is not borne out by the statements of
the general board of the navy. For
example. tho President says that when
this program is finished we will have
twenty-five effective battleships for
the second line of defense. Tho
general board, on the contrary.
shows that we will have hut
thirteen and that the other twelve
are At only for harbor defense
or as a third line. In other words.
they are not efficient second-line ships.
They are not second-line ships at All.
The proposed program is a paper pro-
gram. 1t is entirely Inadequate to our
needs. II Is proposal not to do some :
thing effective immediately but to do
something entirely ineffective tmme-
diately, and to trust that the lack will
be made good in succeeding YEAR,.
