NEW YORK, March os.-Rear admiral

an address that he said had been ap-
proved by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, declared here last night, "if

the chances seem even that she will
not be beaten"
Perhaps few people viii dispute the
statement" he said, that the chances
are al least even that when the treaty

Europe than she was before the war
and that she may bring about n coma =
ton such that she will he allowed to
send her fleet to this side.
1--WE must visualize the fact that her

superiority in ships was not quite so
great as two to one when the war
started. but ii was greater than two
to one in the number of trained officers
and men and organization and stra-
tegical Skill
AS a means of meeting this condition
Admiral Fisile advocated building up
those parts of the fleet that can be
strengthened most quickly. The first
step, he asserted, should be the con-
struction OF a large number of battle
planes which, he said, were more modern
than submarines and which can direct
an attack on 4 fleet If used in sufficient
numbers.
