USES OF LARGE NAVY
|
Discussion In Congress on War j
Matters Atf .ctlng Us.
The House Friday began consideration
of the naval appropriation bill.
ten hours bring allowed for general j
debate. During the general discussion, j
Mr. Fitzgerald. Democrat, of New j
York declared that our naval program ;
was to procure a naval force greater
than that of Germany. He further
Said:
"In all sections of the country the
conviction, rightly or wrongly, is firm
that the present occupant of the White
House is apt to Involve us in war with
some other nation," adding that the
same belief lias been had with respect
to the head of another great nation,
"which may account," he went on. "for
the fact that at a dinner on Lincoln's
birthday, at Grand Kapids. Mich., that
Haron Von Sternberg thought the highest
tribute he could pay to President
Roosevelt, was to declare that he very
gieatly resembled the Emperor of Germany."
Mr. Fitzgerald said further, that "if
the prevailing belief is justified, and if
the President is to be given four years
of power in his own light, now that the
great representative of the conservative
fotco of the Republican party, the
iate Senator from Ohio. Mi. lianna. is
gone to his reward, it may be wise for
us to outdo even Great Britain in our
naval program. Should he (the Presi
I m-nii not be made to fee! that the sen!
timent of the country is for peace and
not strife?
"Since the Spanish-American war. it
ik true, tlie people seem to have been
carried away with t"he glamour of military
achievements. The spirit of the
inan-on-horseback. for so many years
ixi sore an affliction to the people of
France, apparently stalks unrestrained
throughout the land. A shrewdly conducted
movement was initiated about
two years ago to eultivate a public
sentiment in favor oi a mighty navy.
Many prominent men. whose business
hiterensts were closely Identified with
the shipbuilding Industries, then banded
together for the avowed purpose of
popularizing vast expenditures for the
naval service. So stupendous have the
expenditures for the naval and military
establishments become that important
and needed public improvements have
been indefinitely deferred."
Referring to the statement of Adn
iral Dewey that the sea force should '
consist of IS battleships. Mr. Fitzgerald
snid that confirmed his assertion
that the naval programme is bat \1
upon the theory that our navy should
be larger than that of Germany.
It is time to call a halt upon such talk
of an inflammatory character that
is heard throughout this land, declared
.Mr. Fitzgerald, adding: "Public officials
are the chief offenders by loose,
indefinite and bombastic statements.
The naval committee in its report are
not entirely free from the disease."
In conclusion lie asked: "Are we to
have a great navy merely to furnish
summer holidays, that big officials may 1
play at war?"
Mr. Fitzgerald quoted the following
from the report of the naval committee:
"The rapidly developing complications
of the whole Eastern situation r
demand that our navy shall bt as ef- $
feetive as possible." j
"Why. what have we to fear, except
the impetuosity of our present Chief j
Executive?" he asked. a
Mr. Foss made an urgent appeal for r
(hp upbuilding of the navy, emphasiz- <
ing io necessity of ship construction ']
in times of peace with the query: a
"What would Russia give today if she 6
could call back some of her sunken *
ships?" He said, in conclusion that a
when it became necessary for this government
to strike, it should be prepared
to strike a blow like that struck by
Dewey at Manila. Mr. Foss was
strongly seconded by Meyer of Louis- p
inna. the ranking Democratic member
on the committee, who com hatted the
statement that the navy was too heavy, "
as charged and declared it indispensa- r
Ide that we should have a strong navy, fi
Referring to the Panama canal, he
said he was for the canal and also for .
o navy to safeguard It.
Mr. Gaines, of Tennessee, made an v
appeal for the tobacco grower, contend- t
ing for the removal of the tax imposed n
on stemmed leaf tobacco, when stem- 1
med by the farmer, which he asserted '
is a burden to the grower.
Speaking of the objectionable law, '
Mr. Gaines said it evidently had been ('
written by some skillful lawyer for the J
trusts, and passed without Congress
knowing what It was. The law, as it
now stands, he said, has paralyzed the
lihertv of the grower.
Mr. Stanley, of Kentucky said In connection
with Mr. Gaines' remarks that e
an extract obtained from tobacco stems r
is shipped to Germany, where a leaf
grown there is Immersed in it and then n
used as totocco. d

Paris. By Cahlc.- An official dispatch
received here from Tokio announces
that one of the most imuortaaf move
nients of Japanese troops yet made occurred
Wednesday. One of the tuuin
branches of the army, consisting of
three divisions and including a division
of guards, is now going on hoard
transports. The previous landings of
Japanese forces in Korea and elsewhere
are said to have been small compared
with this simultaneous sailing of
three divisions, aggregating approximately
an army of xo.ooo to 50.000 men.
It is believed, hut this is not sure, that
the destination of this force is a point
near the mouth of tiie Yalu river or a
