ambitious naval program, but to
20 forward steadily upon the lines
of naval increase to which the
country committed itself by the
adoption three years ago of the
first far-reaching constructive nav
al in the history of the
republic.
81 have recommended to this
congress the adoption OF another
three-year program substantially
like the n authorized in 1915.
But the victory of the allies and
the United States should, and will,
| sincerely trust, within a few years
make it no longer necessary for
any nation under whip and spur to
burden its taxpayers to undertake
to build, in competitive construc-
ton, bigger fighting ships and
more of them than any other ma
ton can construct"
Mr.. Daniels shows that the new
$500, 10000 three-year building
program he has proposed will por-
vide 1876 additional naval ships, 10
of them dreadnaughts and six bat
tie cruisers, and the others to be
in such distribution of approved
types as the department may deem
best.
Taking up his story of the navy
and the war, the secretary declares
the service was ready from stem
to stern when the United States
entered the conflict. From the day
when the first three-year program
was adopted in 1916, he adds,
Congress has given everything that
could be desired to insure the ef-
-fectiveness of the naval arm"
Team work has been the navy's
slogan for five years, and it con-
tinued to be the war motto both
at home and abroad. The strik-
ing success of the navy is ascrib-
ed to this fact by Mr.. Daniels.
