WORLD GRU1S OUR 0 E IATTLE-S P5 A Significant History-Making Move ment by the United Sta.es. Pacific Ocean Saved to America by Eabu3t Policy of Republican Party. The preaeut world cruise of Amcrl cim wnr&hlps is one of the most' inter esting, important and far ranching per formances of any administration since the Civil War. History Udus upon the prow of tho flagships of this fleet. Eighty-five millions of people have for months boon attempting to Interpret tho movement and solve tho problem our government Is attempting to prop erly adjust by this circumnavigation of the globe. When President Roosevelt first announced that the fleet of battle ships was to make the long Journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, tho Democrats turned prophets of evil and predicted many disastrous things would follow ns n cousequence of this unprecedented move. Ariiiiiilu mul World Crulne. The armada took Its departure from Hampton Roads, Dec. 10, 1007, and, After a wholly successful voyage around, the Horn, of about twelve thousand miles, it dropped anchor In San Fran cisco Ilnrbor May 0, 1008. Th ships t that form the four divisions of tho fleet In this record-making cruise nre: Tho Connecticut, Louisiana, Maine, Mis souri, Georgia, New Jersey, Rhode Isl and, Virginia, Alabama, Illinois, Kear nnrgo, Kentucky, Ohio, Minnesota, Kan sas nnd Vermont. To which were add- j ed tho Nebraska and the Wisconsin, ill-, ready In Puget Sound, thus making a fleot of eighteen llrst-clnss modern .battleships In perfect condition. j There wore already In tho Pacific, -and Oriental waters the lino nrmored , cruisers West Virginia, Colorado, Ma- j i-ylund and Pennsylvania. Their two j Bister ships, the California and South Dakota, wero also on the Pacific, and the powerful Washington and Tennes see went from the Atlantic to Join the armada, thus making eight nrmored cruisers to be added to the eighteen battleships. In addition there were In the Pacific several protected cruisers, gunboats and other lesser craft. All told thero wero ton hundred and fifty ofllcers and nineteen thousand five hun dred men. In duo time tho mnln fleet of war Hhlps resumed Its western course nnd 111 touch nt tho leading ports of China .and Australia, passing on east by way of the west, and coming finally to Mal ta and Gibraltar, where it will coal and ultimately return to Its starting point nt Hampton Itoiuls, eoino tlmo .surly next February. In this expedition the Ilcpuhllan .party has n policy which projects Itself iar into tho future, hut It is an entiro misunderstanding of tho whole schemo to supposo that it is aimed narrowly or definitely at nny single power. It is ono of thoso roluiit constructive poli tics of the party gauged on world Hues. St Is moro of n notification than n threat, to all oslstlng governments. Wclillnu North mul Buuth Amorlcn. The eyes of tho wprld have followed our floot with absorbltig Intorest. Ono of the great advantages gained by this cruHQ is tb cordial welcome and cloo acquaintance which it has evokod from the govornnieuts and pooples of tho chief republics of I.ntln Amorlcn. To tho nrnrllinns, the ArsenuncB, uio vm linns and tho Peruvians, tho mlshty re-1 imbllc of the north had been merely n iiauio or n dim figure, powerful nnd , Iionorod perhaps, but not actually known. For yours thero had been lit tie or no vlslblo evidence of the wealth, or authority of tho United States, in the chlof ftonth American ports. But thov wcrfl nil visited b.v swift und mtaiely liners, flying tho flags of tho auaruimo p.nw2,rsof Kurope. At every South American port the fleet, our navy, our government, our in stitutions, our people, our nlms, our industries, our trade every conceivable thing that Is ours, have been discussed as they never were heforo, nnd that without suspicion of our political and diplomatic Intentions. One business house in Now York states that its South American correspondence has In creased fourfold ince the fleet visited Rio Janolro. In this case It seems that trade may follow the battleships. I'renlileiit Rooiiercll Cxplalttv Move ment, In a statement In n speech he mnde in St. Louis, President Koosnvelt took the public into his confi lence to a de gree when he said: "California, Ore gon and Washington have a coast line which is our const line Just ns emphat ically as the coast line of NewYnrk and Maine, of Louisiana and Toxns. Our fleet 1 going to Its own home wafer-. In Mm Pacific and alter u stay there it will return to its own home waters n the Atlantic. The hest place for tht naval cfilcer to learn his duties is nt sea, b.v performing them, and only by actually putting through a voyage of thu nntiire. a voyngo longer than any one liufore nndcrtaken by as larf,e a ' fleet of any nation, can wo find out Just exactly what is necessary for us to know ns to our naval needs and prac tice our ofllcers and enlisted men in the highest duties of tholr profossion." AvrulcenlnB of tho Orient. The Pacific Oconn Is recognized by nil tar seeing statesmen as the theater of the world's coming great struggles for military and commercial mastery. When China awakens, to the degree that Japan Is now uw.iko, events pass ing tho power of the Imagination to conceive will take place. As to the palliative and beneficent effect this cruise may have on China nnd Japan, there can bo hut ono opin ion. While Uncle Sam was little con cerned ahout the minora to tho effect that Japan was about to descend upon the Philippines, or posslhiy to make a demonstration o.. our Pacific coast, yet ho did deslie, and perhaps is in a position to Insist, that the Open Door policy bo maintained lu China. Jap'in has apparently never been quite recon ciled to this p'jllcy, and is bald to have worki d to establish In China tne poll- cy of 'spheres of infiuYnee." To this America, with Kuropean nations, stren uously objected- and does still object. This Open Door pollc. stands as a world monument in diplomacy to tne constructive genius of the Republican part: William Howard Taft is in full sympathy with this wnstructlvo policy. Mr. Tuft on his Inst trip to the Orient was. given such an enthui.lastlc reception at Shanghai. China, as was never before accorded to any lsitlnu' statesman by olllcl.ils of tho Celestial Klnu'dom. On that occasion Mr. Taft made a speech which, in spite of It. genial tone nnd cautious phrasing, was nt once recognl.ed as of the highest International Importance. Said he: "WE WOULD IIAVD T11H ItUJHT TO PROTEST AT UMNO KXCLUD ED FROM THE TRADE OF CHINA UY. REASON OF OUR INSISTENCE UPON THE POLICY OF THE OPEN DOOR. Tho aecpilescenco in this poli cy of nil the nations interested hns boon so unhesitating and emphatic that It Is hardly worth while to spoculnte ns to how far tho United States would go In tho protection of Its Chinese trndo. This feeling Is likely to find oxpreislou lu the action of the Ainoricnn government. Tho United Stntos and tho other powers favor the Open Door, nnd if they aro wise tne) precision worthy of tho nne traditions of American seamanship which speaks the highest praise. Every man, from ofllcsr to common sailor, has felt that the eyes or tho nation nt home were following him, nnd thnt however mod est his situation, he must bear himself worthily ns nn American sailor, In the stoutest squndron that ever flew the Stars and Stripes. There is no question but that this cruise will bo noted b.v nil commenta tors of tho future ns one of the most remnrknble happenings of nny nge. Even though tho American people have not fully understood tho signlflnw. when nil the fncts are known, it will bo found to linve been one of tho dis tinctive acts of stntemnnsh!p of the present Republican administration. Mr. Taft Is the man to continue this his-tory-mnking policy of the Republican party.
