NEW USE FOR BATTLESHIPS.
"I advocate complete disarmament and condemn war as a relic of barbaripm," said Representative Goodwin, of Arkan-sas,'when-he introduced a Bill stipulating that every United States warship sailing for' foreign ports should bo. loaded with samples of American wares—automobiles from Detroit, men's clothing from New York, canned beef from Chicago, and so forth. "It is proposed," says the "Telegraph," "that the Secretary for the Navy should co-operate with the Secretary for Commerce to allot space on battleships to manufacturers, merchants, exporters, or trado bodies, who shall bo permitted to instal and'maintain the exhibits. 'I am opposed'to'the senseless multiplication of battleships,' said ; Mr, Goodwin,'yet I see no reason why those we have built should not be used in advancing American trado before they rot and become junk. From the latest available reports, our navy, it appears, spends much time cruising to foreign ports, yet the < trade reports show how comparatively unknown aro American I goods in the ports frequented by American warships.'"
