Washington. Jan. 25.-While the
house was considering the naval ap-
preparation, Cannon of Illinois. chair
man of the appropriations committee,
said he was for a sufficient navy. But
when it was sufficient he was in favor

new navy began to be built, 1927 ,000,-
600 had been appropriated for ships
Gncluding the provision in the billD, but
not including $S3.000O00 still due on
contracts To Wheeler, who inter
rupted him to inquire. to whom the
credit for the Inauguration of the new
navy was due, Cannon replied rather
impatiently that the country at large
did not care three hurrahs in hot
place" to whom the credit belonged
1t was interested in results. Laugh.
ter and applause.l
Cannon said he did not think con-
gress had appropriated too much for
the new navy, but he did not think
the United States needed the largest
navy in the world. We would not be
called upon to fight England. Her
