The program we are now presenting to congress
is in no sense competitive but is based upon the need
Of our navy as il is determined by the secretary Of the
navy upon the technical advice Of the general board
of the navy. We do not ask you to build a certain
that Great Britain has that number Of tons, or because
to do 50 would bring US up to parity with Great Bri-
tain, nor do we ask you to construct a certain amount
Of tonnage in order that we may be on the So ratio
with Japan.
The need for the treaty type of cruisers was at
once recognized by all the powers signing the Wash
ington agreement, and construction of this type of
ship was commenced by all the other treaty powers
before we began such construction. BY their build
ing programs, they expressed in unmistakable terms
their judgment Of their own needs in this type Of
ship.
It is manifest that this judgment was not based in
any degree upon ships of this class already construct
ed or to be constructed by US. Their program was not
based upon any ratio with this nation; it was unre-
lated to any building program advanced by Us.
The question that we naturally ask ourselves is
this:
IF these nations need the number of ships of this
class which they have built, are building. and propose
to build, how many ships of this class does this gov
need for its fleet?"
1t is true in a broad sense. as we contended at the
Washington treaty for limitation of naval armament,
at the Geneva conference, that all naval srma-
ment is in a measure relative. But there is a sense in
which needs for naval vessels are absoluta
