Its promoters made use of every device known to the advertising profession; the best brains were employed, and the country was blanketed with preparedness propaganda. Officers of the Army and Navy were frank in insisting that the defense of the United States was adequately provided for. Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner in his speech, "The Navy League Unmasked," showed why.
Tavenner established the connection between the preparedness campaign and those who were making profits out of the powder business, the nickel business, the copper business, and the steel business, interlocked through interlocking directorates; then he established the connection between the Navy League and the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., 23 Wall St., New York.
Regarding this connection, Congressman Tavenner said, "The Navy League upon close examination would appear to be little more than a branch office of the house of J. P. Morgan & Co., and a general sales promotion bureau for the various armor and munition makers and the steel, nickel, copper and zinc interests." The preparedness movement came from the business interests.
