Mainte nance of an army ana navy wholly adequate for the national defense.

Roosevelt. Democratic vice r residential candidate. -ln an ad dress here tonight. I am not a militarist. Mr. Roottevelt said. There are very few ot our fellow citizens who are. but the great majority of them will agree with me In the demand that the United States shall maintain at all times an army and navy wholly adequate lor national defense. That Is tbe startlag point. The resulting question immediately arises what Is an adequate army or na'vy? "Our navy, for Instance. Is at the present time In seconHplace. It is very nearly equal to the navy of Great Britain. It is more pow erful than the navy of France or of Japan. "Let is examine the future. We bave three courses open. The first is to reduce our army and ravy without regard to what the other, nations or the world are dotnr. I feel certain that tbe people of this country will never stand fcr the danger that that Involves. "Tbe second Is, we may return to the old pre-war condition ot competitive building between the great nations. That will mean, without question, an Increase In the already enormous cost which we sre sustaining. "The third alternative Is the league of nations itself. The pri mary purpose of that league Is anti-war. and one of its first du ties will be the limitation ot in ternational armaments. I have no doubt that If the great powers meet around the table they 111 be able to reacb an agree ment by which a fair relative ratio of the different armies snd navies In the world can he work ed out. Under this ratio the United States and Great Britain would undoubtedly have navies superior to those of any other power, but the point Is that the size ot these navies the size ot fell navies would be materially reduced. material.
