There ja less justification for suck a demonstration now than there was two months ago. Then there might have been room for doubt as to Japan's peaceful inten- tions. Now there is nome. Every. Am- erican with intelligence to read and write, know, or ought to know, that nothing is further from Japan s por pose than war with the United States and that the internal condition ol the empire demands peace at ahy price short of national humiliation. "Why then is almost the entire of- fective fighting force of the United States navy to be concentrated in thePacific, leaving the whole Atlantic const unprotected ? -Plenty of practice can be obtaifed without sending $80,- 000,000 worth® of battleships on a 14,000:mile cruise through the danger- ous Straits of Magellan. What other nation would gream of leaving its most populous ports, its most impor-- tant sea coast, and the overwhelming bulk of: its maritime commerce with- ont naval protection in order to bot- the | tle up its sea power for months ? Nr. Roosevelt himself judged by his past, would be aftame with indignation .if anybody else mroposed it. * "If Roosevelt is not using the navy to capture the delegates to the re- publican convention, what is he dJo- i disturbing the peaceful relations with a friendly power in 'order to restore Y ing ? If he is not taking the risk of Pacifi¢ coast, what is he doing { Tl*he is not employing the naval power of the United States to. further his per- sonal politicar programme, what is be doing ?
