Harlan Warns of War Urges Building Great Navy
In a Navy League of the United States banquet address at the New Willard, Justin J. M. Harlan warned of a coming conflict between white and yellow races and urged a large fleet to protect U S interests. Representative Weeks pressed for captain command of ships, and former Secretary Hilary Herbert praised the navy’s Civil War role. Commissioner Macfarland framed the navy as a peacemaker, while a broad critique of naval policy and immigration was voiced, with calls for a navy strong enough to defend Pacific and Atlantic ports.
