SEAPLANES BEST
DEFENSE AGAINST
RAIDS, SAYS PEARY

By REAR ADMIT. ROBT. Z. PEARYr
Chairman National Aerial Coast
Patrol Commiasion.
This submarine raid along the At
lantie coast can be no SURPRISE to
anyone. as It was possible at any time
since We entered the war. II has
been urged repeatedly during the last
two.yearS that our coasts, particular
~ the Atlantic. should be protected
by aerial patrols. They would have
prevented. without much doubt. just
such a raid as this.
The swift, heavily-armed seapiane
is the most effective and the cheapest
weapon against the submarine. It's
speed is two to three times greater
than that OF the fastest destroyer. and
its range OF vision I'VE to ten times
greater, while its cost Is one-fiftieth
as much, and Its construction a mat
ter OF weeks OF even days as COM
rared with months for the destroyer.
The aeroplane IL and always will be
able TO strike first. exploding its shells
or bombs on the submarine just as the
latter energies and before It can use

Mr.. Raker attacked these sections
with force. He argued that such pow
ers should never be given except to
officers, made responsible by oath and
bond for their abuse and in reach Of
those they might subject to their ar
bitrary discretion by what would ap-
pear later as mistakes OF judgment.
The bill which otherwise might
have passed, was forced over as the
conclusion was forced that no matter
how good a thing it may be to care
for the welfare Of birds, it's a better
thing to respect the rights, the Iiber-
ties, the sacredness OF person. and the
sacredness OF the homes Of men.

Perhaps no one in the United States
rendered his countrymen and his
eountry's future better service yester-
day than did John E. Raker, member
Of Congress from California, when in
the House Of Representatives he at
tackled unnecessary eompuIsion and
arbitrary power. Perhaps there are
others who study rhetoric and turn
their sentences more carefully than
Mr.. Rsker cares to do. but when it
was time to speak out, he spoke out
and spoke the silent thought Of what
IL most vital IN American life. most
necessary in American institutions.

Mr.. Moore Of PennsyIvania used
the submarine scare" for the useful
purpose of impressing his favorite
improvement on the attention Of the
House. He spoke n>support of reso-
buttons for an internal waterway from
New York harbor south via the Della
ware, connecting with Chesapeake
bay. The Secretary Of War was re-
quested to report to Congress on the
results Of his investigation OF this
proposed intercoastal waterway, as
recommended In the river and harbor
bill Of 1917. As Mr.. Moore thus gave
a strong pull for the northern end of
the coastal canal system, It was
somewhat OF an untimely coincidence
that on the same day Secretary Baker
should send to Congress the report Of
the engineers that itsis not advisable
for the Government at present to
spend anything At all onShe $50 miles
Of the Florida East Coast canal, from
St Johns river to Key West The
engineers could not recommend the
canal for Commercial, military, or
