THE SENATE WANTS HALF THE
FLEET ON THE PACIFIC COAST
WHERE MOST NEEDED.
PROTECT PACIFIC INTERESTS
However. the Division is to be Left
TO the Discretion Of the President
Enough to Keep Japs Out, Says
Mr.. Flint.

Washington, Dec. 1S-One-haf of
the United States navy should be-
kept on the Pacific coast at all
times, in the opinion OF the Senate.
An amendment TO the naval bill was
agreed to tonight providing that in
the discretion of the president one
half Of the navy shoull be kept in
Pacific waters, as tar as practica-
BILE.
The president already has the auth
ority 50 to divide the fleet, but the
amendment amounts TO an expression
Of congress in favor of such action
Mr. Flint said he understood the
people of the Atlantic coast did not
care for the fleet and the people
on the Pacific did
"Wuuld half OF the fleet on the
Pacific coast keep the Japanese out
Of California; askcl Senator Ncl.
son.
81 believe So" replied Mr.. Flint.
Urging the adoption Of the provi-
sion, Mr.. Fulton said that there are
great interests on the Pacific coast
which need protection and that there
| Is more danger Of attacks being
made on that coast than on the At
/ lantic seaboard. At Mr.. IIales sug
gestion the provision was amended
SO as TO leave the question of the
division to the secretary of the
navy, and later this was amended at
Mr.. Bacon's suggestion so as tC
give the discretion TO the president
BY an amendment to the naval ap
propriation bill adopted tonight by
the senate the size of the two battle
ships authorized is limited to q, 90,
tons, and their cost, exclusive of ar
mament and armOr. to four and one
half million dollars each.
The senate agreed to the proyi
sion that no part Of the appropria
