THE BUILDING OF
SUBMARINES IN u. S.

Washington, March 24.-Another inves-
tigation to determine whether American
shipyards are building submarines for
European belligerents was ordered today
by Secretary Daniels. Naval officers sta.
toned at private plants on both the At
iantic and Pacific coasts were directed to
make inquiries and report to Washing
ton.
This action was taken on account of
published reports that the Fore River
ship yard at Quincy. Mass, was building
submarines In sections and shipping the
parts to Montreal, Canada, for the Brit
ish navy.
Secretary Daniels said tonight that a
similar investigation made some time ago
failed to disclose any work in progress
for belligerent powers.
