and Denman Spat
LOUD CALL FOR ACTION
Experts Demand Radical Change in
Policy to Overcome the Successes
of TeutOns at Sea

WASHINGTON-N impatience
at the Goethal-D -Denman row caused it
to break out in the senate when a res
olution was introduced calling for in
formation on the fight. Increased irri-
tation is evident in congress over the
Goethals-Denman affairs for several
days. This is promoted by the wide
spread feeling throughout the country
for the immediate need of ship con-
struction shown by Germany's tremen-
dous submarine successes against al
lied shipping.
America and her allies must make a
tremendous sea and air fight against
Germany if they would curb the sub
marine menace, the naval authorities
here have been warned. The president
is urged to consider plan. Authorit-
les predict that Germany will win if
only the present defensive anti-subma-
rine work is continued. A million tons
of shipping is being lost monthly while
only one-third of that amount is being
built to replace it.
