Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Naval Waste A petition, bearing date of January 14, 1913, has been sent out by the Navy League of the United States, asking for "legislation of the utmost importance regarding the personnel of the Navy, and for a council of National Defense to decide on a continuing and consistent program of naval construction." It is further stated that "to fix the country´s standard, the proposed Council of National Defense should take into consideration the naval programs and military strength of possible opponents." To this, as thus worded, there need be no serious objection, especially if a few modifying phrases are added. It certainly seems reasonable that a man qualified to be an admiral should reach that rank while still in the prime of life. Also there is no evident reason why a man unfitted to command a fleet should ever become admiral. It seems indeed desirable to have a council of National Defense, but it should go much farther than is suggested by the Navy League. For example, it should show why, how, and in what degree "national defense" by force of arms is necessary or justifiable. It should not merely consider "the naval programs and military strength of possible opponents".- a very simple matter of statistics, when we agree who the "opponents" are. It should enter into the consideration of international relations, of the real or assigned causes of military extension in other nations, and of the financial resources from which each nation must draw its military exactions.
