Daniels Asks Congress for
Authority 70 Commander
Building Plants.

/ Washington, Feb. 3.-To insure quick
construction of naval vessels and man
ufacturc Of ammunition and equip
ment for which private plants are UNI
der contract Secretary Daniels asked
congress today for authority to COM
mandecr such plants ii necessary and
operate them in the public service.
A draft OF the proposal sent to the
house by the secretary was presented
by Chairman Padgett of the naval
committee as an amendment to the an
nual naval bill, on which debate was
just closing.
This is an hour of reflection and Sc
rious consideration" said Mr.. Padgett,
Il address myself to the patriotism
and wisdom Of the house. There is
no partisanship in considering the
navy. Under the circumstances, at
this time that sentiment finds cordial
expression from every member. This
is not the hour to hesitate"
Several Republicans expressed SIM
liar sentiments, urging that the naval
bill be brought to passage as quickly
as possible, but others on both sides
of the house entered objections against
the communicating amendment. Rep
resentative Madden, Republican, sug-
gested that it involved the question Of
taking private property without due
compensation. and Representative Fitz-
gerald. Democrat said It involved the
inviolability of contracts. Speaker
Clark asked why warships could not
be constructed more rapidly and to
urge the naval committee to employ
means to speed up building.
Representative Britten announced he
had prepared an amendment to appro-
pirate s119.00O.O00 to hasten completion
of 113 warships authorized at previous
sessions Of congress and now unqer
construction in government and private
ship yards.

and began reading the document which
is being heard round the world"
Not sound came from floor or GAL
leries, but the clear, calm tones of the
president reading slowly and distinct
ly. The assemblage of senators, rep
resentatives and notables about him
listened with closest attention to words
which may record one OF the sombre
moments of American history, if not
indeed Of the world.
Briefly he reviewed how last April
the United States warned Germany
after the destruction Of the Sussex
that unless the imperial government
declared and effected an abandonment
Of that sort of submarine warfare the
United States would have no choice
but to sever diplomatic relations alto
gether. Then he quoted from the Ger
man reply which gave assurances that
no ships would be sunk without warn
ing and provisions for safety OF pas
sengers and crew. He recounted the
provision the German government at
tachcd, which in effect reserved to it
self the right to recant it's promises
if the United States did not secure re-
taxation Of British restraints on COM
merce and then quoted from the reply
of the United States which refused to
consider a conditional pledge and gave
Germany final warning that it could
not entertain or discuss such n sugges-
ton.
