Sept. 12.—Ade quate national defense, particularly on the sea. was urged here tonight by John W. Davis, the democratic presidential candidate. In an address dealing In part with Defense dgy. America cannot, throw away the sword when other scabbards are not empty, Mr. Davia said, adding that “reasonable provision for the national defense is one of the first duties of the state.” With equal emphasis he urged that America work for the peace of the world, declaring the duty and inter est of the country alike demanded "exertion In the cause of peace no less courageous than valor in the time of war.” Calling attention that this dav had been , one for taking stock of a por tion of the national defense, Mr. Davis told hie audience that, the Unit ed States would make a mistake if it thought In terms only of land arma ment, that I he defense of the country lies first of all upon the sea. Assail ing the administration for permitting American naval strength to fall be low the five-five-three ratio provided by the Washington arms conference treaty, Mr. Davis celled attention also to the fact that the position of the United States with respect to light cruisers, submarines and air plane carriers is “still more disad vantageous.” Hits at Anns Meet. The democratic nominee said that when the arms conference ended the public gathered the Impression that equality In naval equipment between Great Britain and America! was as sured and American superiority over Jnpam at the ratio of 6 and 8 was,1 fixed for the next 10 years. He added that he did not charge that this was the result of any intentional misrep resentations, but that th* country was entitled to know that the con ference dealt In no way with "modern cruisers, with submarines, or the auxiliaries of the fleet.” “We must not let praise for the good Intent that lay behind the Washington conference,” he said, “blind us to th# partial and inade quate character of its scop# and re sults." Praising General Pershing’s serv ices, the democrstic nominee said the general should "be mad* to know that he carries with him th# respect, the admiration and gratitude of hit countrymen In his retirement.” “We make use of thle anniver sary,” Mr. Davis said, "to take atock of a portion of our national defense. We are inspecting our military equipment and calling up for review those who constitute our regular and our citizen army. We cannot throw away the sword when other scabbards are not empty, and reasonable pro vision for the national defense Is one of th# first duties of th# state. For in a world where human passions rage, it is the mere counsel of prudence in time of peace to prepare for war. Tet we are not a militaristic people. Bet us hope we never will become so. Prepare For Peace. "We will make poor use of this day and the lessons that it leaches If we think only in terms of national defense and preparedness for war. It ta more Important far that we should prepare for peace. This generation of man has had Its lesson surely con cerning war and th# countless evils that follow in its train. It knows the draft, it makes on human lives and human happiness and the burden" that it leaves on the shoulders of men and women around the world. It knows also what vast and unnamed horrors He hidden in the future If war should come again.
