Need of Better National Defense. Apropos to tifis subject, it may be said we should creafe and maintain an adequate army and navy. We are deficient in this respect. We have an effective navy, but its capacity is much Dhelow the standard that should be maintained. There have been differ- cnces of opinion in congress when- ever the question of enlarging the army and nayy has been presented for | discussion, and no doubt all those giving expression to thefr conclusiors ‘have intended to be honest. However, it i{s possible that not uncommonly a member of congress has been willing to vote for a large appropriation to provide a local improvement in which he was particularly interested and at the same time has opposea the bulld- ing of an additional ship or the equip- ment of another regiment. ‘We should especially maintain a better navy—one equal, at least, in | of any other ! every respect to that nation. So far as the army is con- cernied, a large force of reserves, properly trained, with adequate sup- plies for use in times of emergency, such as General Wood and others ad- vocate, would probably be sufficient. But we should be preparea at all times to. protect our borders on the fea'and also our commerce wherever it extends. The nation with an in- adequate navy must always labor at a great disadvantage with respect to its commerce in times of trouble, or even iu times of peace. The protection of our property and our business is es- sential and can enly be secured if we maintain a large navy, which shall in- L viude the most efficient personnel and | &pparent unanimity the very best of ships and equipment, 1t is not necessary to recall the many reasons for a large navy. There is of opinion at present that we should proceed in thig direction systematically and vigorous- 1y, We have been inexcusably negli- gent in this Tespect. Business men appropriation for this purpose. Struggle for Export Business, After thetroubles growing out of the European war are over, there will be e general struggle, however good- natured, for export business. Our exports should materially increase and large numbers of ships fying the American flag should be placed in j service,and they will be if appropriate governmenttal encouragement Is ex- jtended. We must not remain in a position which permits the navy of any cther country to dominate the seas. ‘Whatever the disposition and inten- tion of the rulers of other nations or those in high authority may ve, there | would be occasions when arbitrary action by local officials coming in con- tact with those pecuniariy interested in a special question, preciprtated by i clrcumstances, might be very detri- mental to the interests of an Ameri- can merchantman involved. reached a position of great { throughout the world,and this will be | ¢tven more potential if we are pre- | pared physically to make gouod our as- | sertions in favor of the fair treatment | of all matters we are called upon to | decide. | Our country must never provoke | controversy nor act from selfish or { immoral motives.

I will add a few words in rezard to present business conditions. As you know, during the last tnree years I have not been especially encouraged a5 to the immediate future, but as to | the long future I have been a great optimist, for reasons which have been glven from time to time. Assuredly we may build our hopes and expecta- tiens on the opportunities which this country offers. Is seems to me at the moment the outlook for improvement in our lines of activity are vetter than they have been for more than a year, This is undoubtedly in part the resuit of increased exportations at rair prices, due to the European wars, but in my apinion also because of a change in egentiment toward business, which now seems apparent. The vaptain of in- dustry will again become popular in the United States, and this sentiment has been brought about by the efforts of business men to satisry the public in regard to their reasonable demands.
