Probab BILE Two-Power Attack.

What confidential information the
Army War College and the navy gem
eral board may have gathered concern
ing the intentions of any certain power
or powers is not revealed; but there are
certain matters known to have entered
into the study of possibilities upon
which the theory of two-power at
tack upon the Monroe doctrine was
based.
With the military problem agreed
upon and defined, the two boards Of
strategists were asked what, in their
opinion, would constitute adequate ma
tional defense Their answer was to
build a two-power navy and organize
federal army of sufficient size, so
that a portion of it could be used in
any southern country against foreign
invader without impairing the safety OF
the United States itself.
To accomplish this the general board
then recommended for the navy:
/. Authorization in 1861 of $780,
OO0, 900 in new ships, as against total
investment in fighting equipment now
afloat during the last thirty years OF
1853 6S6,551.

Possibility of an invasion of the VEST

contravention of the Monroe doctrine is
one of the fundamental bases Tor the
national defense plans formulated by
army and navy strategists. They oe-
lieve it essential to provide against
possible assault upon the doctrine by
either an Asiatic or a European power,
or even by an alliance of two such
powers, which might hurl forces ST.
muItaneously at the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts.
A navy equal in strength to those OF
any two world powers, except Great
Britain, and an army prepared to nght
for the integrity of the continent any
where in pan-America is the ultimate
aim of the plans of the military eN-
perts.

All these preparations, it is now

so that the United States may be able

its ideal of no entangling alliances.

United States-duties that require
something more than a policy of mere
passive resistance.
While the administrative branch OF
the government has submitted to Con-
gress a definite plan which contem.
Plates an increased expenditure OF
more than billion of dollars on the
military and naval establishments IN
the next six years, all other agencies
of the government are acting to unl1y
and harmonize the American ma
tions. To students of diplomacy the
American declarations of Presl-
lent Wilson in his opening address to
Congress, the declaration for PAN
American unity made to the Pan
American Scientific Congress here by
Secretary Lansing. and the general ef-
fort for unity of all the Americas on
a basis of friendship and equality,
take on added significance when con-
sidered in connection with the admin
