It didn’t require very long for the lower house of congress to take favor- able action upon the naval appropria- tion BN It was quite evident that there was no disposition to encourage the further decreasing of the navy, but there was made clear the insistence up- on the giving' of adequate attention to 'our *first line of defense. It is ome of those cases where negligence canmot be tolerated, In connection with it there was also manifested the feelmg that thts cotmtry should look well to what the others are dotng In thé way of warship construc- tion that is not included under the ex- isting agreement. Even though it s certain that the president will do so ‘whenever the time is ripe, there was =z recommendation urging that he take up with the .others the question of an Rgreement concerning vessels of 10,000 tons or less, with the view to checking the endlless race for supremacy in such ships. Emphasis was placed upon the fact that due regard must be given to pational safety, There is no dombt of the importance pt the navy, but in view of the attituds that is displayed toward it it is difficnit to understand the opposition that fs dis- played toward the merchant marine, After having gome "all through the ex- travagance involved in producing a nierchant marine to meet our transpor- tation requirements during the war that no one bélieved could develop, it is a strangé sitnation when members of con- gress place so little value upon the mérehant marine and the expense which it is eosting the government under the present arrangement. The fact that we do not expect a war does not justity us In neglecting the mer- chant marine, any more than the act of the owner of a home is justified in re- fusing to take out insurance bécause he doesn’t anticipate a fire.
