Admiral GeaUes Puts Big
Lot of Sense in FeU Words

The diplomacy of Europe does not
let any scruples interfere with its
military and naval projects.
Our commercial future lies on the
Pacific.
We could not evade that destiny
if we would.
And our commerce and interests
on the Pacific will inevitably pro-
woke the jealousy and the hostility
of other nations-yellow and white.
Our ships and trade on the Pacific
will come and go safely only so long
as we have the naval power to pro-
tect them.
If we fOolishly refuse to spend the
money for that insurance of safety,
then we will inevitably have to
spend billions upon billions more to
ward off attack and to protect even
our own shores from the ravages of
enemies. =
Admiral Gleaves points to the fact
that the present japanese program
calls for the construction of
eight battleships, eight battle cruis-
ers and all the submarines and other
auxiliary vessels that go with them
by 1928.
The admiral adds:
"No one knows how many sub
marines Japan is building. That
fact is kept secret. Our elaborate
program is not nearly so elab-
crate as it is supposed to be.
GOING AT THE PRESENT
RATE OUR NAVY IN 1923 WILL
ONLY BE, ROUGHLY, EQUAL
TO THE JAPANESE"

Mr.. Martin declared
Ours Is a powerful factor In this

1T may rot be out of place to recall
that in this democracy where most
of our political leaders. whatever
their present position. remain not
long In public office. there is a con-
tinulng fourth estate of men who
take their profession seriously. From
time to time historians. essayists and
philosophers may volunteer in our
profession. but it is the regulars-to
adopt military term-who measure
their service not by the column. but
by the years. who will inform nine
tenths of all the world what Is done
here. They pledge you their best eff
forts to rise to the highest possible
level of honesty and fairness that
the world may profit by your delib-
erations. Theirs not to reason why:
theirs. but to strive. with full knowi-
edge Of human liability to error, to
let the world know exactly what

English and French.
Washington Is interested now in
what reply Japan and England will
make in regards to the proposition of
destroying all them pretty boats.
When you come to think of it, it is
kind of heart rendering for a navy
man to half to blow up a ship which
he has become attached to and learned
to think of it as his own, and it looks
to me like it would be a good idea
to reward the commanders some way
for their sacrifice.
