He proposed various modifi- cations and additions to the five-year building programme indorsed by President Wilson, including elimination entirely of the provision for great seagoing subma- rines in the 1917 estimates. Instead of ap- propriating for larger vessels, the Secre- tary suggested building three S00-ton type boats for test purposes. three 10Oo-ton Schley type craft already having been authorized The remainder of the sub marine fund, he urged, should go into coast defense boats of a standard type that could be quickly secured. Thirty l. type or K type boats may be the number agreed upon.
 Other new features proposed by MT. Daniels were:
