HON HITS I DIE HI TO PREVENT
FUTURE IRS
Congressman Richmond P. Hobson
on Alabama, delivered the following
stirring speech In the house of rep
resentatives this week In behalf of a
larger and stronger navy for the Uni
ted States. Congressman Hobson said
In part:
My countrymen, do not let us bo
deceived. The question of self-preservation
is too vital to be trifled
with. Until long years after an in
ternatioal organization Is created we
must still rely upon ourselves. Until
arbitration has been extended to all
questions and has proven Itself ef
fective we must look to ourselves for
national self-preservation.
Upon what Instrumentalities must
we depend? Either armies or navies.
ArmltS Involve men In vast numbers,
taking them from their work. Nuvles
Involve ships, leaving thr men at
work. Armies arc In the midst of
the people; navies are far away on
the sea. Armies may tend to under
mine the Institutions of a country.
No navy has ever usurped civil pow
er or overturned a government since
the world began. On the contrary,
navies have been the cradle of liber
ty, protecting the citizens of a coun
try In their peaceful pursuits and re
lieving them from the pursuit of
arms?
For these rensons all nations of the
earth have chosen naval power as far
as conditions permitted Here in Am
erica the conditions for naval powei
are ideal. By controlling the waters
that lead to our shores our nation
could realize a perfect security and
our citizens could continue In tran
quility to work out their glorious des
tiny. llig Navy lo Irevent War.
In provision for a navy. I submit
that there should not only be ade
quate power to prevent the war, If
possible, and this means, my country
men, that In the waters In question
there should be a substantial margin
of superiority When navies seem to
be about equal the aggressive power
believes In its own and it will take
occasion to put It to a test
I will give you an Illustration. In
the time of war with Spain the two
nnvles were estimated ns Just about
equal.' Each thought Its navy was
superior. War came. I do not hesi
tate to say that If he had had three
or four more battleships the margin
of superiority would have enabled the
troubles In the West Indies to be set
tled by diplomacy.
Mark you, when you are determin
ing between two battleships and four,
you aretrlfllng With that small vital
margin upon which peace and war
will hinge, upon which the value of
your whole navy Is at stake. Twen
ty millions of dollars put Into battle
ships a few years prior to 1898 and
theft would have been no war. When
the war came our coast-line people
were thrown Into panic, and we spent
$50,000,000, threw It awny upon mos
quito fleets of no use.
The Spanish war has cost up In one
way. directly and indirectly, about
$1,400,000,000 Twnty-flve million
dollars put into battleships In nd
vance would have spared It all; and
yet the total cost, Including pensions,
Is counted up to the navy and army.
Now, let us examine In detail this
question and, in a business-like wa
establish a scientific basis and reach
conclusions that are not matters of
opinion, but conclusions that aro as
unchangeable as the laws of mathe
matics and the laws of nature.
Take' the Atlantic Ocean. Around
it are assembled the great maritime
i powers. Take the powers of Europe.
Measuring along the Indentations,
Great Britain has 2200 miles of coast
line, Prance has 1700 miles, Germany
has 800 miles, making altogether
about 4 700 miles for the three great
maritime nations of Europe. Across
the ocean America has In the Atlan
tic ocean proper 6400 miles of coast
and In the Gulf' 4300 miles
Upon examination you will find
that our country Is accessible from
the water through Its entire area
MUM of the Bocky mountains. Through
the St. Inwrence river and Canadian
canals over 300 British ships could
pass to the Great Lakes about which
there are 47000 more miles of coast
line.
Immense fount Line to Defend.
Up the Mississippi river and Its
tributaries and the other rivers lead
ing up from the Atlantic waters there
are. over 15,000 miles of waterways.
Do not scoff .at the navigation of
. veil inland rivers in time of war. If
the enemy has control of the sea and
has armies. The civil war will ans
wer any such tendency to scoff. Add
ing Cuba, 7000 miles of coast line,
and Porto Blco, 600, we have over
35,000 miles of American coast lint
compared with 4700 miles for the
three great maritime nations of Eu
rope. But that does not end America's
responsibility. We have assumed the
Monroe doctrine; we propose to
maintain it. Along the eastern coast
of Mexico there aro 1700 miles and
for Central America 12,500 miles,
making nearly 16,000 miles aded by
the Monroe doctrine, and making a
total of nearly 60,000 miles for this
nation to protect, as against 4 700 for
the three principal maritime nations
of Europe.
The great European centers have
been built inland. America's great
centers 'have been built on her water
ways. On her Atlantic coast linea
alone there are 15,800,000 of Ameri
can citizens living within gunshot of
the water, with seventeen billions six
hundred millions of property. On
the gulf there are 1,900,000 people
an.l eight hundred millions of prop
erty. On the Great Lakes there are
7,000.000 of people and seven billions
two hundred millions of property
On the Mississippi river and its
navigable tributaries there are eleven
and a half millions of people and
eight billions six hundred millions of
property We are the most exposed
nation on earth 36,000,000 of our
people and thirty-seven billions of our
property nowJylng within gunshot of
the water, more citizens exposed than
there are citizens exposed In all Eu
rope combined, more property ex
posed than there Is property In all
the rest of the world combined.
