OPPOSITION IN NAVY
TO "R|SK|NG" SHIPS
Officials Say Daniels Plan to
Send Fleet Through Canal
May Be Abandoned.

Secetary Of the Navy Daniels plan to
send the Atlantic fleet through the
Panama canal in July is meeting with
determined opposition In bis own de-
partment, II Is learned today.
The Secretary has talked all along rs
| IL It we're a foregone conclusion that the
| trip would be made. Occasional hints
that the canal would not have settled
| sufficiently In July to make the voyage
wise were ignored. That lis to say
they were ignored until the Secretaiy's s
recent absence from Washington for n
| few days.
| While he was gone departmental Of
! ficials unexpectedly announced 1t was
more than likely the whole expedition
, would be abandoned. Canal slides were
still likely, they said. They explained
also that there was only thirty feet Of
water in Culebra cut and that no naval
expert would risk a dreadnaught in less
than thirty-flve.
Earth Might Slump.
] An earth slump might occur after the
fleet had passed to the Pacific side,
It was stated, and weeks pass before
1t could get back. Or a slide might cut
the fleet In two in the middle. 1t was
suggested. half in the Atlantic and
| half In the Pacific ocean.
| General Goethals, too. was quoted as
having refused absolutely. through the
| War Department, to give assurances
that the canal could be depended on SO
| soon as the date set for the transisth-
| mlan voyage.
The big ditch is ell right for mer-
| chantmen, naval officials who disagree
with Secretary Daniels declare, but not
/ fer dreadnaughts. They add that the
| risk of rushing the latter through would
be taken in a great emergency, like war.
but not for show purposes.
Then Secretary Daniels returned. One
| of the first things he did was to say
| urequivocally that the fleet would go
| through the canal. He hardly tried to
| conceal his feeling that officials of the
| department haad talked too much.
Later he modified his declaration lit
| tle admitting that the trip would not
| be made IL the fleet got to the canal
| and found a slide imminent
Secretary Running Risks.
! At Cabinet meeting the decision
vas reached not to abandon the voyage
unless slides occurred 'in the mean

| The fleet, said Mr.. Daniels, would be

| That the Secretary was running risks
! to please the Pacific coast was charged
today, though. of course. confidentially,

S1OO,OOO,OOOLOAN
FOR BRITAIN IN n. Y.
Reported 1t Will Be for Short
Term and Yield About Four
Per Cent.

LONDON. April 3.-(CorrespondenceO
THE recent talk In the city and rumors
In the money market regarding a credit
or loan to be arranged in New York
for Great Britain. have taken more
definite shape during the last day or
two, and opinion Is now more general
that negotiations are IN progress for a
loan of. somewhere around twenty mill
lions sterling (s10o. 900, ,000). 1t is believed
that it will be of a short-term nature.
probably two to three years, and will
yield about per cent.
It was thought that the sale of Ameri-
can securities to New York during the
last week or two, on each rise in Wall
Street, would have strengthened the
exchange rate, but these sales have only
temporarily prevented 1t from getting
weaker. and yesterdays level of 479h
for cable transfers once more brings the
possibility Of gold exports from London
to New York very much to the front.
Not q Permanent Solution.
Treasury and Bank of England off,
cials, as usual, are very secretive, and
Il is impossible to get either denial or
confirmation about the loan, although
there is very little doubt that negotia-
tions between international financiers
and the treasury are going on almost
daily.
Some authorities in the market seem
to think that even If loan of 100000. ono
ts arranged It will only temporarily ad
Just the exchange, and that a perma-
nent solution of the problem can only
be solved by n balance of trade.
When J. P. Morgan left New York to
30 to London 1t was understood the
principal object of his visit was to dis
cuss with bankers and officials of the
British government the establishment in
New York of a credit of 500. .000, 900. Mr.
Morgan expected to be back in this
country by May 1, and tho indications
that the discussions have been about
completed fit in with his plans es an
nounced.
Understanding Probably Reached.
While tentative proposals made by Of
fcials Of the British treasury may have
resulted in an understanding under
which Great Britain will be able to get
money In the United States when it is
needed, the belief has been expressed in
the last few days that no loan is i'm
minent, owing to the ease of money in
London. Gold has been coming to
America In payment Of obligations, and
It Is thought that If loaning rates do not
harden the British government will con-
tinue to pay for purchases here in cash
for some time. It Is understood, how
ever. that negotiations for a credit have
reached such a stage that Great Britain
Will be able to take advantage of il
when the need arises.
