Is it designed purely for defensive purâ€" on Naval Affairs has been holding hearings on the bill to authorize this maval expansion. From every witâ€" ness who has appeared before the committee I have endeavored to obâ€" tain information which would asâ€" sist our people, as well as the Conâ€" gress itself, in arriving at some defiâ€" mite conclusion as to what is inâ€" tended. The people of the country are entitled to know whether there is any necessity for the expenditure. They are also entitled to know how the Administration would define "neâ€" cessary because our present defense is wholly inadequate against a posâ€" sible attack on the Western Hemiâ€" sphere from a combination of powâ€" <ers*â€"Ozâ€"azre~wo to consider At n« "active foreign policy"? Many of us are not satisfied that the Presiâ€" dent has made it clear what he has in mind. While the evidence is by no means conclusive, yet there is at least cirâ€" cumstantial evidence to show that the President has in mind to have the navy serve as an "instrument of diplomacy" in the present crisis in the Far East. It may be that the President cannot say precisely what our foreign policy will be. But the events and statements of high offiâ€" cials of the Government point to the formation of a foreign policy, now only in the preliminary stages, which contemplates the abandonâ€" ment of "isolation." While no one really knows, save perhaps the Presâ€" ident himself, we seem to be movâ€" ing ‘ownd a~policy of "alliance" with ‘Great Britain and possibly France in joint action for the enâ€" forcement of treaties broken by agâ€" gressor nations. The question which is being raised by the American people is not so much what our foreign policy is toâ€" day but rather what is in contemâ€" plation. The people want to know what occasions the demand for the increase in the size of ourâ€" armaâ€" ments. ‘They want to know what foreign policy is in contemplation that this larger navy is intended to imlement. They ask these quesâ€" tions because there is circumstanâ€" tial evidence that something is in contemplation other than national «efense. In the evidence presented to the Naval Affairs committee, there THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1988 tended. In the first place, it has been pointed out repeatedly that the Presâ€" ident has consistently refused to inâ€" voke the neutrality act. This has ibeen interpreted by many to indiâ€" eate that he does not believe we should completely withdraw from the Far Eastern crisis. It is then rea. soned that the President must beâ€" lieve we should apply pressure to Japan in cooperation with other powers,:particularly Great Britain, are, to be sure, certain statements that seem to indicate that a more "active" part in world affairs is inâ€" For over a week the Committee 15 poonds ~...._..... $140 Excess weight, per pound 8¢ Everything carefully washed Table, bed and bath linens, madeira and fancy linens handâ€" ironed.

And he also made it clear that even with the proposed increase he did not think the fleet should be divided with on part in the Pacific and the other part in the Atlantic. Moreover, during the course of his testimony the Admiral indicated that our traditional defense line in the Pacific has been extended to inâ€" clude Samoa, which is located about 2600 miles southwest of Hawaii. And this March the United States Fleet will go to Samoa for the first time in connection with the planned maneuvers. + ~Our people look at these facts and then call to mind that at Chiâ€" cago the President intimated that he would be willing to "quarantine" an aggressor nation.
