There is no doubt of the fact that England desires -to hold the suprem acy of the . seas and all of her actions in the past and at a;es$nt;"-c6ncttisivi ly prove .this.. Sucb ,being.thease', theeommefee of- this aa&titfeer.naA- ions, and the safety of r these inatipns is at stake and mucbnas we deciatq that we ;-are on the nest 'of Mterms, with the "mother country,' down in our 'hearts, we know that such is not the case; that it is merely a case of "watchful waiting on the part of Endland and, that. When the proper time arrives, if if does, ghe' will .pro elafnV her supremacy over.1 the sea commerce or the united States.) a ;i JjFdfc only in commercial ships is .England 'at present far" superior, to larger and better -equipped. While we are tot favoring a policy of antagonr ism;: we do believe that we should he prepared 'for Hhe 'inevitable., and be ready to uphold our rights . .at any and ''all .times. " Now 'is the. time to take some action ' towardincreasing ur navpr, getting larger, and better hipk and the1 opportunity of doing this hould not Aft allowed to pass by. Commenting along this tine:, "the . Washington Post fittingly says: t , V "The British admirahy-prowHyan bounces, that the new cruiser Caroltafe has been Completed at Birkenhead 1n Teceid lijne-ten and one-half months . fronthe date of laying the keel.' The Caroline was to have been delivered on May 31, 1915, and her completion and acceptance' on December IT is justly acclaimed as a triumph of British ship building. ' She is , a light cruiser of 3.800 tons,with 30 knots sweed. - "Mr. Winston Churenill, first lord of .the admiralty, recently stated that more vessels were being built in Eng land than were being destroyed by the enemy The British navy, he. said, was "strongey than it had been at the beginning of the war, and was rapidly increasing its preponderance over the German navy. i ""'Thus Great Britain moves forward toward her goal- the absolute mastery of the sea. , There is no concealment about it. " Militarism on land, is a hateful thing, to be fought and de troyed if it takes all the nations of "urope to do it. 'But militarism on ' e sea is an admirable thing, so long H is British militarism. ; That is the sb. view which the world is asked jcept - 5; ;,y,vt ; f t-4 t ' 'ITow ran the United States be ex eeted to rest at ease without increas ing its navy, in the face of Great Brit ain's determination to build such a Tgigantic navy? ? How can there be any assurance 'of peace in the world while one nation plans to dominate all the others in every sea? I ' "Great Britain appeals for the sym pathy of the world, and especially for the sympathy of the United States, on the ground that she is "fighting Amer ica's battle against militarism." Ger- many is held np as an orge to frighten Americans. Germany's great military machine is denounced as a menace to the world, which : must be destroyed before Europe or America can be se cure. f . "But what about "British, militar ism? What about the mobile military machine which England can. move a gainst out ports and against the Pan ama Canal? Germany's army 'is not a menace to the United States,' be cause it cannot come to these shores. But Britain's" navy can come, and it fan bring an army with it., "If Great Britain is honestly trying to do away with militarism and lift H o burden of war taxes from all peo it is 1 ?h time that a declaration oiil l be made that the British navy 1 be curtailed. The world is entitled j- i ? -anee of British good faith out such assurance no nation will 'ficd in keeping down naval ex- re is no distinction to be made i German militarism and Brit-1 n t' -i v; 1 ' f t x ll.er - Ji ll f'l n: t-,Q ' I j. 'J the seas to Ort, Britain that she will look after them that her yoke is easy and her .intentions honor able is not at all reassuring to Americans. They do not want a yoke, even a British yoke. They do not ask Great Britain to look after them, . . "Years and years of friction '.with Great Britain over shipping questions and the experience of two wars with her are a continual reminder to Amer icans that they i must rely upon them selves if they would be free upon the seas and upon land.' , British aggres sion and interference with 'American oommerce is just as intolerable as Ger man aggression and interference would be.; We have had ' the .first,, and are still confronted with vexing com plications; whileGerman interference is an imaginary- thing. ' 'Until and Unless Great Britain gives the world some assurance that she is not intending to build" up' militarism:' of the sea comparable with' German militarism on land, it is the duty of independent ;,ana seir-respect ing nations to prepare for their own defense. It is especially the duty of the United States to; build up a navy thai will be able to guard American coasts and protect American interests "Americans will never consent to the proposal that their independence and the. integrity of Vheir eoistshaU be" guaranieed.'hythe "friendly nayV of Great Britain. .
