Reeder Backs Roosevelt Navy Plan to Preserve Peace
Rear Admiral William H. Reeder supports President Roosevelt's call for a larger two ocean fleet to deter war. He cites 20 battleships in the Atlantic and 20 in the Pacific, arguing the cost is worth preserving peace and building naval prestige. He dismisses sensational war talk and says the cruise trains officers, proves flag, and proves ships can navigate the Straits of Magellan with skilled captains.
