Washington, D.C., Feb. 19â€"When the Committee on Naval Affairs woted last Thursday to limit the hearings on the President‘s naval expansion bill to only two more days, Congressman Melvin J. Maas, Reâ€" publican, of Minnesota, endeavored to incorporate into the motion a provision to the effect that all the testimony be made "pertinent to the bill." If such a provision had been mdopted, it would then have been possible for him to make a "point of order" should any witness seek to discuss the international situaâ€" tion or, more particularly, the situâ€" ation in the Far East. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1988 It seems to be the Minnesota Congressman‘s attitude that practicâ€" ally all the witnesses who have apâ€" peared before the committee in opâ€" position to the bill have said very little: that would be helpful to the committee. He complains because they have not confined themselves to spetific provisions .of..the.billâ€"itâ€" cause the opposition witnesses have not testified concerning such things as costs, method of operation, relaâ€" tive power and strategic uses of such items as "capital ships," "cruisers," *‘submarines," etc., authorized by the bill to be constructed. It is true that most of the opposiâ€" tion witnesses have little knowledge of naval technicalities. It is true that their testimony has largely been concerning the causes and posâ€" sibe cures of war, the purpose and enforcement of international treat. ies, questions of diplomacy and the general trend of world affairs. Techâ€" nically speaking, the testimony has not been strictly on the bill itself. But, contrary to the apparent opinâ€" ion of my able colleague from Minâ€" nesota, it is my judgment that this testimony on factors pertaining to the $800 million naval expansion bill before the committee. The President of the United States has recommended an increase in the size of our navy. It represents a great cost to our people, not only in the mere construction but also in the upkeep. The President made his recommendation because he beâ€" lieves the increase in .armament strength of other nations makes our present strength inadequate for the purpose of national defense. In passing judgment on the recommenâ€" dation, is it not "pertinent" to inâ€" quire into the relative strength of other nations? Is it not "pertinent" to seek to determine who are our potential invaders? Is it not "perâ€" tinent" tfinquire into the possibiliâ€" ties of an attack on our shores and insular possessions ? : An intelligent evaluation of the President‘s naval program as necesâ€" sary for our national defense and enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine RALPH E.

A nation‘s armament strength for defensive purposes cannot be measured simply and solely by an analysis of the reâ€" ‘spective naval tonnages. ‘The 5â€"5â€"3 ration adopted at the Washington Conference in 1922 does not of itâ€" self indicate‘ the defensive strength of the three powers. Many factors determine a counâ€" try‘s armament strength for defenâ€" sive purpose. What about the num. ber of naval bases and their locaâ€" tion? Should we not also consider the size of oil reserves at the disâ€" posal of each naval power? Nor should we overlook the factors of geography, population, national reâ€" sources, wealth and "convertible inâ€" dustries." It is obviously true that 100 guns in the handsâ€"of a nation And so, when the United States Naval officials appear before the Committee on Naval Affairs and committee on Naval Affairs and compare the size and nature of our ships with that of other countries, their testimony alone does not disâ€" elose our real strength. +Contrary to the mpparent belief of my colâ€" league from Minnesota (Mr. Maas) on the committee, the other witâ€" nesses who have appeared have preâ€" sented testimony not only "pertinâ€" ent" to the bill but of real value. with .induatr Herman Denzel‘s Return from Trip to Mexico City Word comes to the Press that Mr. and Mrs. Herman Dénzel of Highland Park have just returned from a trip to Mexico City.
