AMERICAN NAVY CAN
REPEL PACIFIC INVADERS

Washington, ID. C.-Congress
made progress yesterday on the ma
.tional preparedness question.
The senate military committee
closed its hearings on the army bill
and reported favorably a bill for an
arnor plate factory.
On the House side of the capitol
the naval committee virtually con-
cluded its examination of Rear Ad-
miral Blue while the military com
mittee received the proposals of the
American Red Gross for greater gov
eminent aid in Red Gross plans.
Pacific Fleet Prepared.
The most striking statement
brought cut was that of Admiral
Blue, who declared that the American
navy now was ready to meet any Ell
emy it might be called upon to meet
in the Pacific. He declined to state
what STEPS had been taken in the
last year to meet an emergency.
Chairman Pagett supported Admira
Blue in his determination not to re
veal the department secrets.
