Common Sense of Naval
Disarmament Question

; than fifty GERMAN officers who
commanded or operated submarines
during the war, to train japanese
submarine crews. ENGLISH sub
marine officers are employed at an
other japanese naval station to tell
all that the English know about sub
marines. Japan paid five million
dollars recently for British aero
planes.
Against whom are these feverish
and expensive war preparations OF
Japan directed!
Certainly not against England, her
ally. There is no other sea-power ex-
cept the United States.
We have no designs against Great
Britain and no desire to eclipse her
navy. She has, on the other hand,
an ardent desire not to have her
navy eclipsed. She probably has
great influence with her ally, Japan;
and if so, she might possibly per-
suade her ally, Japan, to desist from
its breathless and expensive naval
program.
AS the United States MUST
maintain, not equality, but superi-
ority, on the Pacific Ocean, it follows
that unless Japan is converted, not
to the theory but to the practice of
disarmament, the United States navy
will probably have to grow so fast
in the next few years that it will
become in time superior not only to
Japan's, but also to Great Britain's
without any intention on our part
to eclipse England.
The future of disarmament, there
fore, depends much more upon Great
Britain than upon us.
The United States has no wish to
squander money on its navy, and
Great Britain cannot afford to do so.
A real competition in naval con-
struction between the United States
and Great Britain is impossible, not
for moral reasons but for material
reasons.
As no nation suspects, or has any
reason to suspect, the United States
of any and-hunger, or of aggressive
designs against others, or of any de-
sire to control the affairs of other
peoples. it follows that any nation
that demands for itself a greater
navy than ours must desire to domi-
nate us or the world.

CONGRESS is now considering the

any doubt of the wisdom, morality
and popularity of disarmament uh-
der proper conditions. Common
sense is all that is needed to decide
/ the question.
We cannot so disarm as to make
ourselves defenseless.
We cannot so disarm as to put
ourselves at the mercy Of any other
nation.
We cannot disarm in reliance upon
the friendship and the protecting
care of any other nation.
We cannot place greater conf
dence in the employment of superior
force by any other nation than that
other nation is willing to place in us.
There is nothing more amusing
and childlike than the argument
which the British and those in
America who are more British than
the British, that we need not in
crease the size of our navy because
we can depend upon the British
navy, and that we ought not to in
crease our navy because we would
awaken thereby the suspicious and
ill-feeling Of the people Of Great
Britain.
Now why should we awaken the
suspicious and ill-feelings Of the
people of Great Britain? We do not
propose to increase our navy until
it is SUPERIOR to the British navy.
We propose only to increase our
navy until it is EQUAL to the pow
er of the British navy.
When we are asked, if we do not
think that friendly relations with
Great Britain and the "co-opera-
ton" of the British fleet are our
best reliance in the future, we reply
that we always hope for the friendly
relations with Great Britain that we
have had for more than hundred
years with our splendid neighbor,
Canada, whose border has no gun
boat, fort, or even a single sentry
on a frontier of $500 miles for her
protection-or ours.
But as our resources, our products,
our coastline, our national posses
sions and interests are now larger
than Great Britain s, we cannot safe
ly rely for their protection upon any
foreign power.
There is no animosity. antagonism
or even suspicion in this decision.
There is only common sense.
If Great Britain wants to disarm,
and she must want to disarm be-
cause she cannot afford in, her pres
ent financial condition to maintain
her huge naval armament, why
should she wish to have a greater
navy than we have!
There is no other naval power that
she has to fear Why should she
fear us if she does not want us to
fear her; and if she does fear US,
why should we not equally fear Nher7
AS to the pacifists we have only
this to say, that if they oppose the
building of a navy as powerful ,as
Great Britain's, then they are hug
ging a mere delusion and not the
reality of disarmament !
The way to get actual disarma-I
ment is to tell Great Britain that
we intend to build navy as mighty
as hers if she does not reduce her
navy and induce her ally, Japan
to reduce hers.
1t is more necessary for the United
States to be decisively superior on
the Pacific Ocean to any other Power
there than it is for Great Britain to
be superior in strength to us on the
Atlantic.
