It Iiam U'l'ti testified At the eoTigrouiioiMiI IiohHiis by
the ranking adtnirnh of the nvy that no foreign nation
at war with the lnltcd States would dare to wild more
than a half of it navy in an attack upon the I'nhed Rtatea,
the rent iM'iiur required to defend home eoaatx, and that the
Tinted Ntntt'H navy wan already xuperior to half or anv
foreign navy except Hritain, and eonld defeat any sticli
force a likelv to he ent even by J'ritain.
J'iVen in the present war, over halT ot KtiKland's great
fleet is kept guarding the "tight little inland." The bulk
of the I'Yeiieh fleet i patrolling h'reneh wateiw and this
with the (Jerinan fleet "bottled tip" and inactive.
To create the greatest navy afloat, congress will have
to aiithori.f increases four times as great ns the program
.submitted by Secretary Daniels, which calls for the expen
diture of $.j02,182,!2 1 1 in five years, in order to even equal
(Ireat Britain's navy, congress will have to authorixe tin
expenditure of $2,22.V)i)G7.iOS. It will be necessary to au
thorize the construction of seventv-one first-line shins in
stead of sixteen as at present proposed.
If the present plan is authorized by congress, the
Tinted States will have by 19121 twenty-seven first-line
battleships and six battle cruisers, or thirty-three first
line ships. England, at its usual rate of increase, will have
eighty-eight ships of the first line by then.
To become the greatest naval power, the construction
of fourteen capital ships per year, plus the necessary scout
destroyers, submarines, aeroplanes, gunboats, ammuni
tion, fuel and repair ships to balance, with enlarged ap
propriations for the extension of the naval establishment,
navy yards, docks and preparatory schools. And by tin;
time we secured the plannod-for ships, other nations would
still be building ahead.
But why the necessity of any such mad program of tax
burdening expenditure As a nation, the Tnited States
has no idea of embarking upon ti career of world conquest.
What do we need the biggest navy for Not for defense.
Rear Admiral Blue, chief of the bureau of navigation, de
clares the present navy fit to do battle with any possible
enemy. (Jeneral Nelson A. Miles declares our coast de
fenses equal to any in the world and the guns of battle
ships powerless against laud fortifications. The nation is
in no danger of attack. Kvcn in time of war controversies
like that over the Lusitauia are settled amicably. What
belter arbitrament could war briny,?

LINCOLN A WATCHFUL WAITER
P
Stronuoiis UiiniNliaUlov.
UOFTSKOB WALTKlf k DAVIS of the history de
partment of the Culleue of I'njret Sound at Taeoma
has dug up some historical documents concerning the atti
tude taken by President Lincoln in 1SI51 towards interven
tion in Mexico, thou loudly clamored for us now, showing
that Uneoln was really the oliuinator of "watchful wait
ing."
KoHowiii-r the Mexican war with its American aggres
sion, Mexico had been torn with ciil war between a re
public and monarchy. With Lincoln's election came the
triumph of Benito Juarez, who set up a provisional gov
ernment. Revolution and outlawry still tore up the land.
Reports were widely circulated that the provisional
government was without authority to maintain order.
Stories of robberies, depredations, murders and wrongs
against American citizens flooded Washington. A member
of the American legation was murdered on his way to
era (tux Ironi .Mexico City. Intervention was loudly de
manded. Here was a situation that paralleled that faced bv Pres
ident Wilson. The question is frequently asked: J'What
would Lincoln dof1" Here is what Lincoln did:
lie proclaimed a policy of watchful waiting and for
bearance. He opposed aggression. He appointed as min
ister to Mexico tin opponent of the Mexican war. Through
Secretary Seward he sent the following instructions to the
new minister:

"The pteaideul tnuU thai our mlaaion. manifesting these aenllmeiils,
will reassute the i;o eminent of Mexico of his best disposition to taor

"I find the archives here full of complaints against the Mexican nor
