Here we have a frontier 6,000 miles long to defend It fs absolutely necessary for the Empire that we should have predominance of the sea. We should be starved out if we failed to maintain that predominance. Moreover we should be tunable to defend our Em~ pire by conveying our troops across the On the other hand, we must re- member that although we may possess we ocean that predominant power at sea, still it will not in any way prevent certain nations from being able to make land attacks upon us, of which the United States might be one.
