told the members Of the work
which is outlined for the coming

Ten months ago we began 10
build up those air and ground
defenses and the progress which
has thus far been made has
been satisfactory and has sur
passed our expectations. But the
stubborn fact remains that an
ad equately constructed and
trained air forces and army in a
country of this size cannot be
created in less than minimum
of two years fit TO meet the air
forces and army which Germany
has been spending six years in
producing.

SAME BACKGROUND

1.-THE significant feature 10 us
Of this century-old condition has
been that country speaking
our language, possessing our
traditions OF individual and legal
freedom. and inhabited by a
population from which con
siderably more than 50 per cent
OF our own population is de-
scended. has been accepted by
us as "A dominant factor i'm the
ocean defense upon which our
safety and mode of life depend.
During that century we have
accommodated our whole method
of life TO that situation. We have
maintained no large standing
armies. We have built populOus
cities upon our seacoast which
are easily vulnerable TO attack
from the Atlantic Ocean.
I'VE have, In short, adopted a
mode of national life which is
dependent upon the continuance
of a sea power of which we our
selves feel in no apprehension.
To-day that situation is
grsveIy threatened. The British
Isles. which have been a fortress
against any despotic approach
10 our shores through the north
ern reaches of the Atlantic, are
threatened both by attacks from
the air and blockade from the
sea.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-05-07

the control of the Atlantic has
been exercised by the British
fleet. BY the Washington treaty
of 1922 Great Britain vOlun-
tarily consented TO parity be-
tween her feet and oHrs and
thus admitted us to an equal
share In that control.

liberty To an efficient autocrat'
His rise has been facilitated by

ried forward with new spirit
and with fresh knowledge ac-
quired by the unhappy expert
ences of the past. To be fright
ened into n belief that Hitler
had created a new and perma-
nent world order would be rs
naive as it would be cOwardly.
Elm the next place let us
examine the strategic conditions
which must govern our defense
against an admittedly serious
danger, albeit it is only tempo
rarY.
THE people OF the United
States have been greatly blessed
by the geographical conditions
OF their homeland. Two broad
oceans lie to the east and west
of MS, while north and south OF
MS are only friendly nations, of
whose intentions and power we
have no fear. Thus the instinct
of our people In regard TO their
ocean defense Is a sound instinct.
SEAS PROTECTION
There is great possibility of
protection In the fact that we
have the Atlantic Ocean between
us and Europe, and the Pacinc
Ocean between TVS and Asia.
$50 long as those oceans are
under our own or of friendly
control their broad waters con
stitute an insuperable barrier To
any armies which may he built
TIP by wouId-be ageresser gov
ernmentS. But that condition of
friendly control Is imperative.
II II should be lost, the oceans
overnight would become easy
channels for the path to attack
against MS.
THE development Of modern
air power greatly intensifies this
necessity of friendly control OF
the oceans. IL now makes IL
necessary for us TO command
not only the reaches OF ocean
adjacent TO our own shores hut
the entire reach of the oceans
surrounding the western CONT
nent; for. II hostile nations pos
sessing powerful armies and air
mower can once make landing
ON the shores of our weaker
neighbor nations, either north or
south of us, our immunity Is
gone.
IN STRIKING DISTANCE
at would then become n COM
paratiyeIy simple matter for
them to establish air bases
within striking distance of the
great industrial cities which now
fill our country.
And the only way In which
we could prevent this would he
the intoIerable method of our
selves maintaining armies large
enough TO command the areas OF
our continent for thousands of
miles beyond our own borders.
such a condition would trans
form the good neighbOr rela-
tons which now prevail through
out the American republics into
the same abhOrrent system of
forceful domination which we
are seeking TO keep out of the
hemisphere.
I'm short. 10 the nations of
America, friendly control OF the
surrounding oceans is a cOndi-
ton of the reign of freedom and
mutual Independence which now
prevails In that continent.
