= a DHAr does America need IN order to
w make he1sef reasonably safe?
w What has che now to defend her
self with. in a world that undentands only
force?
Let us for the moment stop being self
satisfied sentmentalists, and be cold-blooded
realists. Let's consider these facts:
Our total army Of some 100000 regulars
and National Guard troops Is no larger than
that of tiny Finland: it 10 less than one-fifth
the Polish army that was crushed and de-
mralized in seventeen days by the German
war machine; it is no more than third the
size of the Chinese army that faced the Jap
anese invasion two years ago.
Our navy is a splendid fighting force, but
half its ships are now over age; many ships
now building will not be complete until 1914;
and, even IN. 1914, there will be very definite
limits to what We can expect our Navy to
accomplish.
And today, added to the threat of war on
land or sea, is the greater threat of war in the
air. Long-range bombers are casting their
on,inous black shadows far in front of them.
and we begin to realize that our old ocean

business. Sooner or later that may lead to
trouble.
Well, just how do we stand IN this world of
force and arms? We have no way of foeetelling
how the present war may end, or what its
peace consequences may be. 1t is conceivable.

would put enemy bombers within striking

sphere, against combination of victorious
and mfriendly powers?
To answer that question, our first job is to
consider the United States Navy - America's
traditional first line of defense. How big IS It?
How big should it be? How wide field can it
cover - ssd dete~k?
In 1921 our statesmen and wel-wishes
destroyed quarter of billion dollars worth
of fighting ships - sunk them without trace.
Then for the next eleven years we ooasted
along on the promise of world at peace.
During the eleven years of our naval holiday
We laid down grand total Of thrty-sx ships,
AGAINST l56 by Japan and lZ3 by England
Then we put sailor in the White House.
He realized the importance of adequate de-
tense IN an upside down world, but he quickly
had his ears knocked back when he tried
to modernize our Army. He did better with
the Navy. In his first year in Office the Presi-
dent allocated s238. .OO0, 600 from emergency
funds for the construction of thrty-two ships.
The next year the Vinson- -Tramnell Act gave
us ninety-for additional ships, forty-6ve of
which are now in service and the rest still
building. Then in May. 1888. came the billion
dollar naval building program. To date this
vast program for which only $O,O0O.OOO
has, up to this present CONGRESS. been actu-
ally appropriated - has given US grand
addition of exactly two oil tankers. purchased
ready-built. But new fighting ships will begin
to appear this year. and by 1914 the billion
dollars worth will be in service.
But ships, like men. grow old. A submarine
is ready for the scrap heap after thirteen
years. A battlestip lasts for twenty -six years.
It can be moderni1ed, but it is still nothing
but rebuilt job.
Today we have fifteen battleships One is
already over-age; two will become over-age
this year, and four more in 1912. That means
that seven of the fifteen great ships of our
battle line are, Of soon will be, obsolete. OF
the remaining eight the two newest are six
teen years old, the next two are eighteen, and
the rest still older. 1t is proud but aging
feet that guards our ocean ramparts.
Now we have eight beautiful battleslips
in the building. Two of them are $4,000 ton
ships. and they will cost around $50. .00O. 600
each. When they are finally commissioned

will then have the following undergo ships:
l6 battleships
IS cruisers
$50 destroyers
56 submarines

That the picture for 1914. Only the British
Navy Of that date will equal it in size and
fighting strength - and even Britain won't if
her feet Is whitfield down by the war. Our
Navy will be some thirty per cent larger than
the japanese. and will be the equal of the
German and Italian navies combined.
And if the appropriations being asked for
at this session of Congress go through. We
should have in the latter forties three addi-
tional aircraft carriers. eight more cruisers.
large numbers of additional submarines and
auxiliaries and an air strength double the
5000 planes projected. As this is written it is
impossible to tell what new warships will be
authorized. There is talk that bigger warships
may be built in smaller number - and of
fast, heavily -gunned cruisers of 1900 to
10000 tons or more.
IHR figures given above. let it be under
stood, do not take into account the over-age
or reconditioned ships that may still be in
service for patrol and training purposes or
auxiliaries such as sub-chasers and small
torpedo boats. Nor do they reflect the status
of our Merchant Marine, so essential for
supply and transport in time of war. Under
the United States Maritime Commission
eighty six new ships x over 1.OOO.O 600 tons -
have been added. But still more ships and
more trained men are needed for merchant
marine adequate for a nation at war.
But let's concentrate ON the figures for the
Navy itself. Assume that the present naval
building program is pushed through to COM
pIetion in 1914. Will that give us big enough
navy for our probable needs? And just what
are our probable needs? Who is threatening
us-a and where? And what's all this talk
about two ocean Navy?

Rules for j. ). Aid
To Plane Concerns
Are Announced
Contracts for Federal
Financing Of New
Plants Outlined
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
r. N Elliott. acting controller
general, laid down rules today to
guide the War Department in writ
ing contracts for the erection at
Government expense Of new fac
tories in which private manufac-
turers would build airplanes on Army
contract.
Interpreting four different defense
acts passed in June and July, Mr..
Elliott said:
/. The contracts may provide for
paying regular prices for the air
planes and separate installments to
reimburse manufacturers for build
ing new factories. This made it un-
necessary to pad airplane prices to
take care of the factory costs.
2. The contracts may provide that
after the airplanes have been built
that board of arbitrators shall de-
eide how much the manufacturer
should pay If he wants to buy the
factory from the Government.
3. Such contracts cannot obligate
the Government to pay the manu-
facturer for maintenance of fac
tory built at Government expense
after the airplanes have been built
and the factory is idle.
4. The contracts cannot bond the
Government against using the
plants for commercial purposes
after the military airplane contracts
are completed.
5. The manufacturer who builds
factory at Government expense must
not be promised first right to buy
the factory when the Government
offers it for sale after the compile
ton of the airplane contract.
