Book Description

Excerpt from Addresses Before the Eleventh Annual Convention of the Navy League of the United States, Washington, D. C., April 10-13, 1916 Compliance with the Democratic platform declaration of 1912, to provide for the national defense in its broadest sense, including the establishment of a council of national defense, would have removed the question from politics and would have resulted long since in a recommendation to enforce a naval and military programme and a financial plan to carry the programme into effect.
