GIVES AMERICA
WEAKER FORCE
THAN JAPANESE
Assistant Secretary Tells Why Bill
As Reported Isl
Bad
BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Assistant Secretary of Navy

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
naval bill as reported by the house
appropriations committee cripples our
navy. Iteiyes US only $1,000 men.
We believe in the limitation and
reduction of armament. We have
proved the honesty of our belief by
our accomplishments.
The naval treaty just ratified by
the senate limits and reduces our
navy and establishes a fixed basis
for all nations concerned ration
of 5-5-3 between Great Britain, the
United States and Japan respective
ly.
We believe in peace.
If our belief is to be more than
idle thought, we must maintain the
navy agreed to as just and equitable
in the last conference of the ma
tions.
This year England will have lO4,-
600 men in her navy. The japanese
will have $4,000 men. Under this
bill, we will have but $1,000 men.
Ships without men amount to
nothing. If this bill is passed, there
fore, it cuts the naval ratio between
the countries to about 2-7-8 and 8
and 8 with the United States on the
small end.
The United States under the
treaty, has 18 battleships that she
may retain. Under this bill she can
keep only 13 in full commission. She
has to put 5 in ordinary with only
200 men on board. A battleship with
out crew is not battleship at all.
1t is a naval relic
The battleship alone is not the
navy. With it must go the neces-
sary complement of smaller ships.
Without these smaller ships the bat
Ttfeshipis helpless. With only 65 900
men we have to lay up hundreds of
thousands of tons of our auxiliary
craft.
With but $1,000 men we can keep
but 703,952 tons of combatant ships
ready for service. England. keeps
1,307,785 tons ready for service and
Japan 689,456 tons.
Under the treaty we are allotted
a navy equal to that of Great Bri-
tain, and 40 per cent greater than
that of Japan. Should this bill be-
come law this relationship would
be destroyed and we would be placed
in a position inferior to both of them.
The department has asked for Co.
600 men. This is the minimum num-
Der necessary at this time to man
our fleet. With only $1,000 men, the
naval ratio is broken.
We are put in position inferior
to Great Britain and Japan.
Our power of defense is crippled.
Our influence for peace and Justice
is limited, and we are relegated to a
secondary position.
10 limit the personnel of our navy
to $1,000 men would be national
calamity.

1912 YEARSFOR
EX-SERVICE MAN
Posey Abernathy Convicted Of
Voluntary Manslaughter At
Moultrie

MOULTRIE, April 12.-Posey Alb
ernathy was convicted here today of
voluntary manslaughter in connection
with the killing of viii Jackson, and
the penalty fixed by the jury at 10 to
IL years in the penitentiary. a.-s..
The killing occurred at country
dance near Moultrie in February, and
Abernathy, an eX-service man, was
placed on trial for murder yesterday
morning. Judge w. E. Thomas, who
presided, ordered that the widow and
three young children of Jackson be
kept out of the courtroom during the
trial, in order that the case should
be tried on facts and not on sympa-
thy that would be either for or
against the accused"
According to the prosecution Aber-
nathy attended the dance where the
killing occurred unlimited, unexpect-
ed and drunk, and that he insulted
Jackson's wife, which precipatated the
killing. When Jackson demonstrated,
the state claims, Alternately invited
him out in the yard and there "cut his
throat with no more concern than a
farmer has when he stabs hogs in
hog-killing time"
Alternately entered a plea of self
defense, admitting he killed Jackson.
Jackson, Alternately swore. had one of
his hands in his pocket as if reaching
for a pistol, when he used his knife
with deadly effect. A search of jack
sons body, however, showed he car
ried only a small penknife which
could be opened only with difficulty
because of its rusty condition.

WITH TRADE BODIES

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Gov-
ernment cooperation in the activities
of majority of the trade organiza-
tions of the country, was promised by
Secretary Hoover today in an address
before representatives of various in
dustrial organizations now meeting
at the commerce department to dis
cuss means for furnishing trade in
formation to the department for pub
lication.
A canvass of over 1000 trade or
CARNATIONS, Hoover declared, disclos-
ed that only small majority of these
had been formed on basis contrary
to law. He called attention also to
the fact that while both the farmers
and certain labor unions have obtain
ed immunity from the laws govern
ing restraint of trade, no effort along
that line has yet been made by the
commercial and industrial interests
of the country and that inquiry into
coungress, would be valuable.
