According to a tiding dated Washington 3 November evaluated president Taft
(1) after his fleet review the American naval strength. He thought she was
quite well and up in arms although missing enough destroyers and this lacking
needed more attention than the fact that other countries were busy with
building enormous strong and heavy cruisers. In his opinion should the Unites
States be as good as prepared as other countries while a navy which wouldn’t
full fill the highest expectations at all times was just a waste of money. His
opinion was something well regarded by the Dutch journalist who remarked that
the Netherlands (=government) should listen to this wise words.
