FOIKDEXTER WARNS 'EW
FftLSE E!
BY J. BAKT CAMPBELL. I STAFF CORRESPONDENT 1. N. SERVICE WASHINGTON .March 2. "We rhuuld should trust ourselves and keep cur powder dry," declared Senator
Miles Tolndexter, of "Washington,
ranking: Republican member of the senate naval affairs committee, in warning r gainst the American navybains permitted to fall below the 6-5-3 ratio of the naval armament limitation treaty. Polndexter, who Is slated to succeed to the chairmanship of the senate naval affairs committee, charged that "pacificism" In the guise of "false economy" is threatening: to rfcduce the American navy to a "negligible position." "On ob.1otlon made to the navel treaty la that It prohibits the erection of fortifications on certain Pacific Islands," Poindexter said. "This eives rise to the question ns to whether or not, if wo had no treaty, we would or could erect fortifications on those Taclrlo Islands which we possess. "We have not done so, notwithstanding that there has been no treaty or other obstacle to stop us during: the lone years since the Spanish war. I have made numerous efforts to secure appropriations for a naval base at Guam, but I have never been able to secure the requisite batkingr of congress to bring this about. It is not at all llkelv .even if the opponents of the naval treaty should succeed in defeating It which, of course. Is not probable that we should be able to accomplish any more than we have In the past In securing; money for fortifications for our Pacific possessions. ""With the limitations the treaty places upon us, our responsibility becomes all the greater to maintain a navy equal to that of any other power in the world in the proportion of five to three to Japan. It is quite evident that we are going to have a struggle
to do this as the same group of '.
pacifists who. notwithstanding the example of Russia, China and Armenia, and believing that helpleness Is synonymous with peace, are making a
fight to prevent the maintenance of
the American navy on even the basis provided by the treaty. "These pacifists would reduce the American navy, if they had their way, to a negligible position to two or even to one in the equation as related to fve on the part of Great Britain and three for Japan. "With an adequate navy, and an adequate number of thoroughly trained offloers, and a somewhat longer term of training for our enlisted men, and a sufficient number of seamen to man our ships and keep them prepared for action, our Pacifio possessions and our mainland which is Inseperably connected with our possessions everywhere would be safe."
ROOSEVELT ' AGAINST NAVY COT
(INTER N ATI 0 N A L NEWS SERVICE) WASHINGTON, MARCH 2. The millenium has not arrived Just because the world powers gathered around a table here In Washington and agreed to cut down their navies. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt, declared yesterday, in addressing the National Rivers and Harbors congress. Ha Issued b warning against too severe cuts In naval appropriations at the hands of congress. "We have not reached the millenium through the navy treaty we have Just signed," he declared. "Friction will arise and while the armament conference will serve as a guide post. It is essential that we keep up the navy as 1, was worked out by the conference. By that treaty we get a navy second to none in the worl,d. We get a navy that Is the equal of that of Great Britain and supreior to the navies of all other powers." "The trouble Is," added Col. Roosevelt, "tliat considerable misapprehen
sion has arisen as to the immediate ' economies we will secure ' from the j naval treaty. The assumption in many ! minds is that this year's naval bill J
snouiq Da mucn lower man last year s appropriation. The fact Is that while great economies will be made, we must rot attempt too many economies or else we will disrupt the successful working out of the treaty."
