NOTHING WILL PREVENT SAILING OF BIG Secretary Metcalf Says to Stop Would MaKe Country Laugh ing Stock.

The navy department' today authorized the Installation of fire control on the Pacific fleet. This provides for the new system of range finding and fire control to be Installed In the Ne braska, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Maryland, West Virginia, South Da kota, Milwaukee and Charleston. Regarding the persistent criticism In this country and abroad regard ing the policy of sending- the battle ship fleet to Pacific waters of the United States, Metcalf today declared that no pressure could prevent the fleet from going and that the result would be a larger navy for this country. He remarked that to withdraw the order for the fleet to sail would be to stultify this government and make it a laughing stock, as it alone was the judge of the policy Involved in ordering the fleet to take the long cruise. No other government, he in sisted, had any right to question the movements of the United States navy in its own waters. As to the criti cisms that the fleet was not. in con dition to make such a trip, he said they were unfoundtd and that the ships could tiave lert on twelve hours' not" after the assembly In Hampton Uoads. Moreover, Admdral Kvans has said that he could get his fleet in action at a moment's notice. Would Remain in Island. - ' There" are strong surface inflica tions that 'Important military devel opments are looked lor in the rnu inilna islands In the, near future. Chief among the things pointing to that conclusion is the fact tnat Malor General Leonard Wood, com manding that military division, and Brigadier General Tasker H. Bliss, commanding the department of Min danao, have asked for further service in the archipelago. General Wood will start for the United States next month by way of Europe to take command of the de partment of the east at New York, as relief of Major General P. D. Grant, who Js to be transferred to Chicago to command the department of the lakes. Wood Will go Hack. Major General John F. Weston. now commanding the department of Luzon, will succeed General wood in command of the troops in the Philippines. After a brief stay In the United States General wood plans to return to the islands and resume command. General Weston would then resume his duties at Manila. It Is understood that General Wood has asked that this be done and that the president has approved his ap plication. iGeneral Bliss also has asked that he be continued in command in the Philippines for another two years following his present term ot service in tha islands. The circumstances are regarded of more than ordinary significance In view of the possibilities for trouble in connection with discrimination against Orientals uy the United States and also with the mainten ance of the open door In China. When the fortification works in the Philippines now In progress are completed, within the next two years the islands will be a military base or great importance.

Today's session of the National Civic Feder ation was given over to five minute talks by business men who discussed various topics introduced by various speakers during the last three days. The resolutions Introduced demand that the railroads be permitted to agree upon reasonable freight and passenger rates subject to the ap proval and supervision of the inter state commerce commission. They urge congress to pass legislation pro viding for a non-partisan commis sion in whloh the Interests of capi tal, labor, and the general public shall be represented, this commission to consider the entire subject of business and industrial combinations and report such proposals as to the formation, capitalization, manage ment and regulation of corporations as shall preverse the Individual in itiative, competition, and exercise of free contract In all business and In dustrial relations. Nothing Evil in Trusts. In his address this morning' be fore the federation, Prof. J. H. Gore, of the George .Washington uni versity, poke In part as follows: "There is nothing Inherontly 'evil In trusts. A disregard of the obli gations to the community in the at tempt to lessen, because of the great er resources, the -expense ot produc tion and at the -same .time " .put up the price of the product through a control of the market, is responsible for the lllrertate into which some of the combinations have fallen and the suspicion under which the others rest. Remove the railroad corpora tions into their integral concerns and we find ourselves In the midst of conditions that prevailed 30 years ago. Prohibit co-operative Indus tries and we will see the farmer Journey from wood-worker to black smith shop and then to the -painter to have made a plow which he can not buy with the time these Journeys would cost. Restrict production to single lines and we would find In scrap-heaps waste materials that now meet the cost of production. In the Iu.st. "In our country's youth surplus capital was not available for the cre ation of great enterprises and for eign money was slow to come so far for investment In precarious indus tries, so man associated himself with man, Joined his small means to that of others and in co-operation achiev ed results which, in older countries, might have rewarded Individual ef forts. They were democratic organi zations suited to our democratic In stincts. In the natural economic de velopment, greater concentration of capital was needed to make possible a more minute differentiation of talent and a higher Integration of industrial energy, until now we have a precision that means accurate re lation of supply to demand: orga nized employers treating with orga nized labor Insuring permanency In production, and elaborated means of distribution reaching the uttermost parts of the earth and making the world our market. Kxierts Demanded. "As productive methods become more and more specialized, expert management in more and more de manded and the purchaser of the smallest fraction of the output reaps the benefits of thU superior skill. When the market is world-wide we have the highest example of business buyers; we have the most conserva tive management, for recklessness would he fatal when months inter vene between orders and settlement; we have the closest study of econo mies of production, for loss of trade has sharpened the wit of every com petitor: and we have through the greater elasticity of foreign trade a more sure response to every demand. Capital lla-s Grown. 'The capital has grown from the dollar or two needed to buy the cob blers awl and hammer to the mil lions required to engage the world's trade. These millions are giving us cheaper goods; they are widening our knowledge and broadening our sympathies; they are knitting peo ples together through common wants; they ure steadying economic conditions and deferring panics; they vouchsafe to labor remunerative em ployment; they t.ke materials to waiting factories, transmute them Into acceptable forms and set them down in every quarter of the globe where 11 pa have framed a heart's desire. "Jn return for this, these millions deserve Just returns, and as long as they ask that alone. It will surely come. And we, the beneficiaries of all that results from this last stage in the economic development of our country, ask a cessation of the ac tivities of those demagogues who, seeking to emulate others, ignorant ly and. evilly assail concentrated cap ital in periods of popular prejudice by grotesque legislation and hamper lis usefulness by uneconomic laws."
