Current Events of Interest Gathered From the World at Large. Washington, March 28.—“ Our na tional defenselessness,’ ’ was the theme around which Representative Hobson, Democrat, Alabama, voiced a prophecy of disaster in the house late this after noon. A startling array of facts as to our unprepai edness for war as col lected by the general staff of the army was the basis for the appeal o f the hero o f the Spanish-American war for immediate action by congress. He declared it was imperative that a larg er navy be authorized at once if the United States would stave off possible invasion by a foreign enemy in the fu ture. “ Any European nation o f the first power,” said Hobson, “ that has an adequate army and merchant marine— I will take Germany merely as an il lustration — could put 200,000 men aboard ships in a single expedition. One-hclf could land on the coast of Long Island and the other half on the coast o f New Jersey and inside of a few weeks they could seize Washing ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York without resistance.” | Hobson said he would probably offer an amendment to the naval bill calling for six battleships. " W e need that many a year,” he said,’ “ to maintain the equilibrium existing among the nations.” Referring to conditions on the Pacific coast, Hobson said: “ It is unfortunate that I cannot re fer to existing conditions on the Pa- oific coast without these peace dream ers crying out ‘ war and jingoism ,’ but you can all verify for yourselves, you who have no knowledge of existing conditions, that the city of San Francis co cannot regulate her own schools as she desires. The legislators o f Cali fornia, Oregon and Washington cannot today legislate upon segregation o f the yellow people. “ Those legislators were told to drop that dangerous question. I will tell you why. We are defenseless on the Pacific ocean. “ The Japanese navy is rated at 490,- 000 tons, and ours at 695,000 tons. A ll of our 695,000 tons substantially is in the Atlantic ocean and has to stay there. “ Do you think I am talking war? I am trying to arrange this equilibrium in the Pacific ocean under which we could come to mutual concessions and solve the problem. “ I am trying to take the only way to prevent war.” W ORK ON BIG RESERVOIR.
