Shaw warned at a Maritime Association dinner that the United States lacks a strong merchant marine and that American trade in South American ports uses foreign-flag vessels. He discussed potential war with Japan, noting Japan could deploy 200,000 troops to Hawaii in 30 days, while the U.S. could not muster 100,000 troops there for two years. He urged battleship construction and analyzed powder mill contributions, suggesting government gains from nationalized powder production could offer two hours of fighting ability in a year, and even a month of smokeless powder would only supply two hours of combat.
