NAVAL BASE NEEDED
. COMMITTEE is TOLD

Washington. Feb. 2S.-Naval
bases in the Pacific and caribbean are
needed. Admiral knight. president
of the navy war college, told the
house naval committee today.
"If we are to hold the Philippines
or to agree to protect them from out
side interference, a naval base in the
Pacific is necessary" he said. "At
present We can not defend the Phil
ippines and the future Of trade lies
in the pacific"
He asked s2,oO0.OOO for the Car
ribean base. as an immediate neces-
sity. He criticized the lack OF men
and fast cruisers as meaning that
the navy is unable to put forth more
than half of Its strength. He sug-
gested dreadnaughts ought not to be
built this year, but said he would
have six S5-knot battle cruisers and
eight scout cruisers building within
six months.
Other needs, he said, are floating
docks for the Pacific and Atlantic,
80 submarines of the S00-ton type
and 30 destroyers.
He declared American battleships
the equal OF any In tho world. and
the officers and men efficient.
