President Roosevelt sits on a box in the “U.S. Navy Yard” as he holds a paper entitled, “new Navy plans.” He is surrounded by equipment like “steel” and an “armor plate” as well as two sides of the “Kansas” and “Vermont” battleships. There are a number of battleships in the distance. Caption: “More and more our people are waking up to the need of a navy, and, in view of events happening all over the world, I think we can count on Congress to build up our navy. It certainly will if I can persuade it.”—Roosevelt.
