- SPEECH SEEN AID - T0 PARITY FLEET esident Encourages Advo- Pates of Huge Fund by Views at Legion Session. | BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. . President Hoover dropped a hint in American speech at Boston from which friends of naval are deriving lively en- t. They think it means Chief Executive strongly fa- the oconstructon of the “treaty wy"—i. e. the big fleet which the is authorized to build | the terms of the three-power of London. “By the naval agree- Mr. Hoover told the Legion- “we have silenced the high dan- of competitive naval building and ve safeguarded our defense by parity s the greatest naval power in the £ Wworld. We have assured the mainte- of an efficient Navy as the first e of defense. By limiting our ngth we have given demonstration ;%0 the world that we seek no domina- but only adequate defense.” Espousal of Parity Fleet. ‘This is the first indication the Pres- lent has given that he believes the nited States ought to proceed to take » .mdvantage of the parity rights achieved ~at London. ‘To “safeguard our defense ~ by parity with the greatest naval power + in the world” (Great Britain) means, naval authorities in Washington say, only one thing. It means that Mr. - Hoover espouses the building of a T parity fleet. American ‘“defense” at sea, under the parity he stresses, can be had only in the form of actual ships and guns, not in the shape of a build- _ ing privilege of which no actual ad- < vantage is taken, Even with the President’s powerful support, advocates of a “treaty Navy” are conscious that to get Congress to vote the required funds is going to be < no easy task: Already it is known that “ such a project will be fought tooth © and nail by the organized powers of acifism. Their_attitude is that, hav- ~ ing induced the British to give America ~ parity, we ought to be satisfled with such a victory and not attempt to put it into effect. Representative Burton L. French, Republican, of Idaho, chair- % man of the House subcommittee on « naval appropriations, has identified “ himself with this view. When Mr. = French returned from Europe in August he reported “a very strong sentiment” . in both Great Britain and Japan _ against laying down all of the construc- »tion allocated to them under the Lon- don treaty. He urged a similar “policy of moderation” on the vart of the * United States. The Idaho representa- tive, who carries considerable weight base 1d result from America’s failure to build up to the limits of the London “. treaty. v Change n Situation. ~" BSince the Senate ratified the three- ~power limitation pact the European 7. naval situation has undergone a change - for the worse, which is bound sooner -or later to react on American policy. ~ Negotiations between France and Italy to reach a parity agreement, or some- thing mutually satisfactory to take its lace, have definitely broken down. If French now proceed, as seems . Hkely, to lay down a fleet of cruisers, and submarines approximat- nguage, to - “safeguard our defense by parity with ~the greatest naval .

Esti- mates vary as to how much this will amount to. The lowest figure is around $600,000,000 or $700,000,000. The highest is $1,000,000,000. In any event ex- penditure would spread over a term of years, which would not necessitate an annual cost of more than $100,000,000— a very reasonable “national life insur- ance premium,” the preparedness party points out, for a Nation of 120,000,000 souls to pay for the preservation and protection of its vast interests at sea.
