FULL TEXT OF REPORT OF
 NAVY GENERAL BOARD
To Be Made Public Before Congress sionaI Committee Hearings Begin.

Washington, Jan. 7.-The full text of the report of the navy general board urging that the United States navy be placed on an equality with the strong est afloat by 1925 will be made public by Secretary Daniels before congress sional committee hearings begin on the administrators navy plans. MT. Daniels said tonight he was giv- ing the matter serious thought as result of statements made by various members of congress that they would seek its publication and also because this report was mentioned in the let ter of resignation received today from Henry A. Wise Wood, of New York, severing his connection with the re- gently organized civilian advisory board.
 Mr Wood said he resigned to be free to advocate substituting the gen eral boards policy for what he de- scribed as the wholly inadequate five year $500, ,00O, 900 new construction programme recommended to congress by the administration. Secretary Daniels will acknowledge MT. Woods resignation and ask the American So- ciety of of ,sAeronautical Engineers which selected him for membership on the advisory board to name his sue cessor.
 The general board report. referred to by MT. Wood was made last July in response to an oral order of the secretary that the board express it's opinion at the, earliest possible date as to a policy which should govern the development of the navy and building programme" In a subsequent report, already. made public, prepared in reply to a request that 1t formulate a continuing five year building pro- gramme during which time $500, ,000,- 900 was to be expended for new ships, the board summarized the policy pre- viously presented as follows:
 The navy of the United States should ultimately be equal to the most powerful maintained by any other na- ton of the world. It should be grad ually increased to this point by such a rate of development year by year as may be permitted by the facili- ties of the country but the limit above defined should be attained not later than 1925.''
 Publication of this report in full is the matter Secretary Daniels now is considering He said today he had decided to present it to the commit tees of cognress when the hearings began. In publishing such reports, 1t was pointed out, Mr. Daniels establish ed precedent for the department two years ago, it having been the custom of previous secretaries to disclose them only in confidence to congress sional committees.
 The general boards policy appar- ently contemplates two power stand ard for the American navy in declar- Ing it should equal the most power full maintained by any other nation in the world" not later than 1925
 The British navy now far in ad- vance of that of any other power in strength, is maintained upon policy

MILE-A-MINUTE BOAT
MAIN ACHIEVEMENT
Motorbost Enthusiasts Have Cause
for Rejoicins-Sailboats Again
a Racing Factor.

Taking a retrospective view In these
FESTIVE days, the motorbost enthusiast
mas much cause for rejoicing although
there are things prospective that might
tempt him TO hesitate. The latter, how
ever comprise such a small part Of
things as whole as TO ~ entirely over
shsdowed by the progressive features Of
the sport and TO make them scarcely
worthy of consideration at this time
The last twelvemonth has passed into
history as a year of great achievement
In the advancement Of the sport. The
year has produced much in the way of
better engines and better boats. and at
the same time IL has created rules for
the conduct OF the racing sport which
seem equitable and which have w-fthstood
years trial with greater >Sstisfaction
than those devised and tried Sut in any
former year for a decade at least Types
Of boats which heretofore seem to have
been given scant attention have come
into their own, so that the scope Of the
sport is extending along lines more con-
ducive TO the greater interests Of the
affiliated membership.
The one great achievement. Of the last
year is the production Of the miIe-a-
minute racer. This has been accom-
plished beyond all question Of doubt
True, II was done at great cost, but u
has been accomplished. To achieve this
result a special effort was put forth by
those interested in the hydFOplanc game,
with the result that at least two boats
reached this goal The Tech. Jr.. the
Du Pont flyer. made this record not only
once, but twice. over q fun mile course.
The Disturber vi. the Pugh boat. OF
Chicago, holds an even better speed
record. but her mark was made over q
half-mile course, and for that reason
there are some who claim chief honors
for the Du Pont boat The trial tests oi
the PUsh boat were made. however. un
der conditions which are beyond all dis
pute, save on that one point The fac
remains that, even with this admitted
she must be credited with having accom-
plished an unparalleled feat
The sailboat man has especial cause for
rejoicing. The last twelve months hsv,
done much for the establishment o
world. The ssilbOat made greater stridei
in the way Of getting back into its owl
than in any one year since its decline
caused by the coming of the gasolin,
craft On the South Jersey coast IN,
sailbost proved such factor that IL ha;
won official recognition on the rscinl
schedule for the coming year. This slon'
is a victory for which the ssilboat mel
have been longing for several years, anC
q recognition which has afforded the old
time skipper much cause for rejoicing
So all along the line the results OF tn,
year have been most gratifying.
