enough to take the offensive and
destroy the enemy’s sea forces."
He reviewed the history of many
wars and told of naval victories
which were the real determining
factors In their outcome, in sup
port of his statements.
He stressed the Importance to
a fleet of adequate docks and
bases, saying that even the Bril?
Ish fleet In the World War was
at a disadvantage hecanse of a
lack of docks.
Departing from .his stated sub
ject of “Mission Of Our Navy,"
Admiral Foote talked about
'What Can We Defend.’’ He said
'the present strength of the Unit
ed States Navy Is Inadequate to
defend all our national Interests
against attacks by a coalition of
other nations In the Atlantic and
Pacific at one time.’’ He express
ed the opinion that protection of
South America is almost as Im
portant as protecting the North
American continent because the
vast undeveloped resources of
South JVmerIca offer a very at
tractive objective to the so-called
“have not’’ nations of Europe.
The defense of the American
hemisphere Is a tas'k of tremendu-
ous magnitude and when the de
fense of interests in the far east
is added the size of the Job be
comes staggering. "Should the Al
lies be defeated In Europe and
our navy becomes engaged in a
war in the Orient, the east coast
of South America would be open
to attack from Europe. This Is a
danger that we must watch very
carefully.’’ he warned.
Admiral Foote spoke of naval
disarmanient in 1922 and w-hlle
lauding the ideal he said that it
was a practical mistake and that
during the past few years the
navy has been substantially In
creased but said In effect that it
is far from being as strong as
it should be in face of present
world conditions.
Commenting on hostilities In
Europe. Admiral Foote said that
the greatest threat to the British
fleet is air attacks by the enemy
on naval bases and that brought
him to the question of supremacy
of surface ships or aircraft. He
said that both departments must
be strong and fight In coordina
tion.
He described the situation in
the world today as solemn and
critical and that the American
people must face the question of
defense squarely and with a rea
lization that the nation must be
prepared for any eventuality, al
though the preponderant desire
is for continued peace with all
nations.
At the close of his address he
responded to a request for an ac
count of the sinking by German
submarine of the President Lin
coln, troop transport ship which
he commanded during the World
War. He told very interestingly
of the sinking of the ship and the
rescue o£ all but 2 6 of the 760
on board when it went down on
May 31 500 miles off the coast of
France.
