EORE "the Saratoga eonventlopi former President Taft claimed that it Is necessary to elect ReDublican congtess in order to fenlarge the nation's military prepa rations and carry out a firm and agf ' gres9lve military policy." r It has turned out that the greatest tingle step In military preparedness'-' tn the history of any country was the legislation by the American congress vhlcn authorized the government tS fculld merchant ships and created a board with authority to build ships, - L' Ships have proven to be the turn ing point in this war. The .only power in America that could have built ships on the gigantic scale now taking place is the government Itself with Its inexhaustible resources. For one' entire year, the whole government ship building program was, delayed by the filibuster of senator JJurlon, a Republican, aided by lodge, a Republican. Galllnger, a Re publican, and by other Republicans end a few renegade Democrats, most Of which Democrats have since been retired from the senate. f To date, in the government ship 'building-program, the Oregon district bis launched 104 wooden ships and .-W; steel ships. The call of the for mer president for a change in con gress is not well justified by the present shipbuilding in America and the connections of the Burtons anl balllnKers and Lodges therewith, They would have beaten the govern xnent shipbuilding program If they eould. and we should have hadrnow no great merchant fleet with which to- maintain our fighting men in 'France.
