 In urging the adoption by congress- of a new three year building program, Secretary Daniels said the program was conservative" He also said that construction of big ships delayed dur ing ,he war so that small craft to fight submarines could be built will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
 "It is our duty to consider the ob- ligations imposed upon America if the peace conference now occupied at Versailles completes it's work con structively and satisfactorily as we all h0pei { will do.' said Mir. Daniels "Let us assume that this conference will give birth to some plan looking toward concert of the nations for the maintenance of peace"
 "Back Of that lie Ia tremendous police power capable of compelling the disputants to accept ihe decisions of the arbitrators.
 1t seems self evident taht a world police must be established to achieve this purpose no matter what the con stitution or plan of operation of the peace league may be. The world po- Ice win be very largely naval If the United States is to participate in such a movement fl must participate upon q scale commensurate with it's wealth, intelll2ence. great population and scientific attainments. Any lesser i}AIllt4JdllOu WOuiu Dc u NAiIhallB Ol its duty. A contribution less in cost, strength or any detail of perfection than that of any other member of the league would be undignified and unworthy of a nation so generously endowed as the United States.
 Referring to the possible failure of establishment of a leasue the seere- tary said that America in protecting sma( rlltlont Iand preyervimet ltAd freedom of the seas, must have a navy as powerful as that of any na- tion in the world.
 America is committed to the promise of entering into a general and genuine plan for the deduction of armaments,' concluded the secretary If the outcome of the peace confer ence shall be that all nations will con- cur in this idea, then the Un.ted States will gladly join them in the worthy plan. But if such an aeree- ment cannot be shortly arranged then we here in America must accerE the burden which the failure will au- tomatically thrust upon us and meet it by adding such units to our navy as will secure our own safety and aid powerfully :n protection of the world"

Washington, Dec 3j. - Unless a league of nations, or other tribunal that will make certain the limitation of international armament. is estab- lished. the United States must build the greatest navy in the world, Score tary Daniels today told the house naval committee.
 1t is my firm conviction" declared the secretary that if the conference at Versailles does not result in a gen eral agreement to put an end to naval building on the part of al nations, then the United@States must bend her will and bend her energies, must give her men and give her money to the task Of the creation of inccmparably the greatest navy in the world"
 With tho completion of the pro posed new three year building pro gram, adding ten dreadnoughts, SIX battle cruisers ten scout cruisers, and l30 smaller craft to the fleet America will still rank second in na- val strength to Great Britain, said the secretary who appeared before the committee to make his final recom- mendation for the 1920 naval bill which the committee is considering
 Does the president back the policy to mako us the first naval power in tie world?' asked Representative Kel- ley of Michigan
 Yes, if competitive building is to continue" said Mir. Daniels "We are now easily the second naval power but this program will not make us the first" The naval secretary said that if a league of nations is estab- lished, America must provide a larg CT part of a world police force neces sary to enforce the decrees. He add ed. however, that with such a league formed it would not be necessary to carry out the full construction pro. gram, and asked the committee to in- elude in the bill legislation to em- power the president to stop construc. tion, according to his discretion.
 'l would like to let the world know that We are tremendously interested in the presidents proposition for re duction of armament, declared the secretary.
 In reducing down from $200.000 000 to S55,CG0,0C0, the amount asked on a new building program beginning next July for the year. Secretary Daniels said that some further construction was necessary, because We want some more modern ships in our police force"
 MT Daniels then gave the commit tee a report showing the relative strengths of the navies of the lead Ing nations of the world Figures fol the Japanese navy were not available, it was said.
 Besides the reduction of the new building proeram the secretary sub mitted new estimates reducing the to. tai asked for the navy during the next year to $995g03nc0. The original es- timhtes submitted to congress, drawn while the war was in progress, to;aled s2,664, ,S07,o00 Pay of the navy under the new estimates would amount to s21l,000,O ,O0O the secretary recon. mending no permanent increase in personnel but asking for temporary increase to 250.00O men until after the peace conference when a definite | policy as to the permanent establish ment can performed.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Critic,sm of Postmasttr General Burleson for talk in5 over the marine cables after the signing of the armistice was renewed today n the senate. Senator Hitch cock, of Nebraska, chairman of the foreign relations committee precip itated the discussion after presenting a letter from MT Baleson, in which the postmaster general denied that he had exceeded his authority and as- serted that the order taking over the cables had been signed by the prosi dent November End
 Senator Hitchcock said the posi- master general had come very close to breaking faith with congress-" anu that he was not justified in taking over the cables after hostilities ceas - ed. He also accused M '. BUgloson of expressing the order for some t.me
 Senator Watson, republican, of In diana, charged that the date on the order had originally been fixed at November 14, but because of the s1gn ing of the armistice sooner than eX pected, it was changed to November End
 Senator Kellog, of Minnesota, re publican, said he had been informed the order was signed by the pres ident on November 2nd, but t was not
 dountersigned by the Isecratary O. state and it was never published or
 o.-I;hf4od t., ,,,- c,,a ,,ntit a ftar h a war had closed and the armistice had been signed"
 In h,s letter to Senator Hitchcock MT. Burleson said:
 "Of course, my dear senator, no one knows better than you that a pHtlic official is not called upon to notice the mouthings of irresponsible 5lath- erskites who may criticize or misrep- resent his official actions but when q critical statement is made Iy a sen ator of the United States it not only iustif,es but calls for responses. "Of course it is not true that have of my own will ruthlessly seized and taken possession of these cables; of course it is not true that have taken | possession of them just to gratify my personal convictions, personal opinion and personal wishes; or | course it is not true that have reached out to control business actiV- ities the congress did not Intend to put into my hands. I feel that a re ply to all such charges can be con clusively made by quotations from Q motion to dismiss filed by the repres- | entat,ve of tho law department of our government made by direction of the I attorney general of the United States
 to a silly suit recently instituted (for publicity purposes) in court known I to be without jurisdiction against the | postmaster general in which these ! unfoundel charges are set forth" Mr Burleson in his letter also branded as utterly without founda- | tion" charges that much of the mail | addressed to soldiers overseas fails to | reach it's destination. The depart 1 ment. he said had delivered to the
 various military units in France near | ly seven million pieces of mall each | month, which had been done on an 1 average of better than thirty days
