President Roosevelt- made a stirring’ appeal for.a hard hitting “I want a first class fighting navy or no navy-at all,” said the president, “because a first class fighting navy is the most effective guarantee of peace this. nation can: have. “There -are always a number of amiable;and well meaning people who belfeve In having a navy merely for coast defense. A purely defensive navy would be almost worthless. To advocate such a navy is like advocat- ing a schoel of prize fighting in which no one should do anything but parry. “I hope this nation will never have to hit. We should do everything that honorably can be doue to avoid trou- ble. But when we do go to war that ‘war is only excusable if the navy is Prepared to Hammer Its Opponent until he quits fighting. And you can'. hammer your opponent if you wait for him to come to the coast and hammer you first. For the protection of our coasts we need fortifications so that the navy may be left free to stretch out and destroy the enemy. That is its function.” President Roosevelt declared that even if the United States had no isl- f Naval Officers. 1 and possessions the need for an ag- gressive naval policy would still be present. “The Monroe doctrine,” he declared, “had almost fallen into dis- grace and contempt until the Amer- ican nation began to build up its navy.” Discussing the. question of emigra- -tlon the president declared that the American people. have a right to say who shall come and dwell among them. ! “It 48 our dyty,” he declared, “to exercise that tight in a way calcu- lated to provoke. the least friction.

Conse quently he sends you your passports that you may leave Venezuela.” Senor Paul has sent another letter _to the foreign minister of The Nether- lands in which he says in this con- nection: “This indispensable measure affects only M. de Reus. It will not alter the existing friendly relations between Venezuela and The Netherlands.
