Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Presidential Addresses and State Papers, Vol. 4: May 10, 1905, to April 12, 1906 I wish not merely to congratulate, but on behalf of the Nation to thank those present; the part played by the Merchants´ Club in initiating, and with the aid of the Commercial Club in carrying to a successful conclusion, the movement which resulted in the establishment of a naval training station here on Lake Michigan. I need not say to those of you who know anything at all about me that I believe in a big navy; and I hope I need not say that I believe in it not as a provocative to war, but as a guarantee of peace. I want to see every section of this country realize that the navy stands for the whole country, and that the people of the seacoast are not a particle more interested in it than the people of the Mississippi Valley. There were two sides to the establishment of that naval station here, where it was established. In the first place, we get, as perhaps some of you know, a peculiarly valuable class of recruit for the navy from the Mississippi Valley and the region adjoining the Great Lakes. In the next place, I wanted to see part of the establishment of the navy have its local habitation and name here in the great West. So I feel that this organization conferred a favor not only upon the city of Chicago, but an advantage to the whole country in what it did toward securing the establishment of that station here where it has been established. I do not think that it is now very necessary to make an argument for an efficient navy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
