Steel ships over wooden in Goethals Denman debate
An editorial urges building steel ships for America in the submarine war, siding with General Goethals over Mr. Denman. It cites Goethals’s Panama Canal record, argues steel tonnage is essential, and critiques Lloyd George’s wooden-ship plan as impractical. It urges United States naval policy to mirror Britain’s steel-ship emphasis and calls for America first.
