4 great battle will rage in Congress

over superdreadnaushts.
whether to go ahead adding largely
to the force Of giant battleships will be
IN itself a most interesting and import
ant part Of the controversy which will
wage In House and Senate over the
navy.
TO an extent. 1t is quite clear what
Congress will do in respect to new
naval construction. Secretary Daniels
has left no doubt he will favor large
increases In the number Of subma rines
and aeroplanes. The President is ex-
pected to indorse this idea. And Con-
Eress will probably follow suit.
Secretary Daniels recently indicated
that he thought popular sentiment was
stronger for submarines and aeroplanes
than for battleships. As a political
proposition. therefore. 1t Is likely the
Administration and Congress will range
themselves alongside Of what they en-
slider popular.
Problem More Difficult.
But what about the big battleship and
the Sreat battle cruiser? That ia n
more dffhcult problem. Few there are
who believe tho navy should he
strehethened IN any respect who dispute
that better submarine and a better
Aeroplane service is needed. But some

Opponents OF the big battleshlp are
going to make tho most Of the argument
