AMERICA'S EXAMPLE
1 lie clamors of the leading units of
ti.c Amem in press for on adequate
na\> has me! with .t splendid response
in the reei nt congressional appropria
tions f it tin- addition of a considerable
* number of war vessels to tla I'nited
States fleet with the prospet t tli.it fur
llter additions will lie made as fast ,ts
ilie financial condition "f tin- country
will allow. To the mind of all who
have watched the course of earthly
events as expressed historic t!h it is
apparent that the mightiest of all
earthly nations. Britain, has won her
place is clipf of tin world's empires,
uni has also maintained herself invio
late in the face of countless foes, solely
hv and through the all dominating
power of her navy
Macing her chief reliance in the
-trengrth of h* r fleet to st.i> the ad -
a in •• of cnemic- no • ime has Bri
tain i een o in pelted !• maintain more
than . rrt ierate sized army and this
despite the fact that the national policy
has ever been one of conquest. Secure
in the splendid isolation afforded by
the sea. through century after cen
lur\ site has remained untouched by
i’.ostii, attack .rid a perusal of her
history will disci--ue the fact that were
it m ; f. i the constant tendency to ft
I -n«ton the miiitarv forces, small as
the\ have been, could have been re
duced to yet smaller dimensions in
other words, were it not for the many
policy wars in which she has engaged,
had she been content to remain secure
within her own borders, there 'was
little necessity for the maintninanoe of
an avm> - f wen moderate size A
comparison will reveal the fact that
tiie natural situations of the I'nited
States ami Britain ire much the same.
The larger pan of our boundrs verges
on the sea and It is only on a compara
tively small portion of our border that
we are in proxmit> with nations which
nta\ lie, ,-me a menaci* t-* our national
security Hence, like Britain our
principal need of defense lies in a navi
adequate to protect the major portion
of our national terrttoio which lies
along the open coast
The natural buffer offered l.y the sea
is cur greatest protection against the
encroachment of foe and. as there is
link to i>o feared from our neighbor*
llie X.-rth and South, again, as in
tci ■ 'Si of Britain, with an adequate
i :u t'a :, -,s luiie need for maintain
i'-g Lug. (lid costly army. I’nllke
Britain we i.ave no far scattered col
i.i„: peas, ssions io ly garrisoned and
■ ur polk' is to live at peace with all
tt-e world■ thus the need for an army ofj
huge sue is not apparent. All that ts
required ill present, and probably for
years to come, is .1 military force of
sufficient sire as to be able to cope
with such forces as can be commanded
by the nations occupying contiguous
territories, and this army, in the event
of hostilities with other nations, would
probably be sufficient to back up the
defense ift'orded by an ample fleet It |
is apparent that the fleet of England
costly though it has been, has repaid
I or many thousand fold in the security
it has afforded beside being the chief
instrument in the winning of her enor
mous colonial possessions
I'he majority of the authorities are
agreed that in the enlargement of the
navy lies America's greatest defensive
need A* in the case of England the sea
Itself ts the greatest possible bulwark
of tlie national defense The present
tendency to enlarge the navy is un
doubtedly a step in the right direction
and yvlth a continuance of the police it
is not Improbable that with the end of
the present European war the I’.nited
states will be found to be the dornin
ting naval power of the world In
! ny event tt is highly probable that

•nturies a comparison will disclose a
-inking analogy yvlth that of Hittain.
it least up to the present time The
value of in adequate and thoroughly
■rained land force should not be under
estimated but it is clear that the fat
re of the Tnlted States rests primarily
upon the maintatnenee of an adequate
