a year paid annually into foreign packets to carry our foreign com merce. It is also asserted we pay! more for tyres for our automobiles than we do for our Navy, that the moving pictures cost us twice as much as does the Navy, and that the states of New York, and Maasschusetts have more licensed chsugears than the total number of soldiers and sailors in the United States service. Allee ofe these expenditures are righŝi enough in their way, and) aretci only cited here to show that our Navy, of which we have everyt reason to be very proud, is not the terribly expensive thing in comparison that those who oppose its being kept up to an adequate... measure would. have nis believe.
