Washington, Dec 12-Neither the end of hostilities nor proposals for a league of nations has altered the pol icy of the general board of the navy in regard to making the American navy second to none in the world. Rear Admiral Charles J. Badger, chairman of the executive committee of the board, today told the: house naval affairs committee that the navy should be equal to that of any other nation by 1925 and urged that sufficient appropriations to make this possible be made by congress.
 The general board believes that under the present world conditions and the conditions likely to obtain in the future" Admiral Badger said, ''the United States navy should steadily continue to increase. Ultimately it maintained by any other nation of the world. Year by year development should be made as consistent with the facilities of the country, but the limit pabove defined should be attained not later than 1925.
 "Navies must be the principal sup port of a league of nations. and the United States, from it's wealth, infiu- ence and power, will be called upon to contribute large share of the inter national police force to render such 8 league effective"
 The duty of the navy in the future the admiral said, will be to not only guard the country against invasian but to protect as well the great merchant marine now being built
 Sea power will always remain z factor of vast importance in interna tional relations" Admiral Badger de clared. The great naval lesson of ath, | war has been that the nation possess | ing the most powerful navy was abl, /! in a few weeks to drive the German | merchant flag from the seas and t, l keep open her own trade routes ant | yet, when the war commenced Ger many possessed the second best nav,
 in the world. It proved to be not goo, | enough. The blockade which she wa not able to break was the greates
 contributing cause of her ultimat
 collapse"
 Completion of .the three year build ! ing program authorized in 1916 an which was halted to build anti sub
 marine craft was recommended b Admiral Badger Work has not ye been started on six battleships, si l battle cruisers, two scout cruiser. nine fleet. submarines, two destroye i tenders and one fleet submarine ten der, he said. Lack of ships of thi type he declared, would have bee

it's navy the general board had rec commended a six year building program to include twelve super er-dreadnoughts and sixteen battle cruisers, but added z that immediate necessities would be met by the three year building pro- gram recommended by the secretary of the navy This program will add sixteen battle cruisers to the six ei ready authorized he said, and at the same rate of authorization would make total of nineteen by 1925.
 Great Britain now has thirteen of these vessels built or building, he said. and it is estimated she will have nine teen or twenty by 1925.
 Admiral Badger stated that pro- vision for 1908 desCoyers is made in the 1920 three yesT program. There are now 342 either built or being built, he said, and in 1925 there will there fore be a total of 45O. compared with England's 516 at present.
 The submarine program calls for 21 fleet submarines, 146 s. type, 24 anti-submarines and 42 mine layers" he said. There are now built build- ing or authorized a total of 169 coast submarines and twelve fleet subma- rines. The general board estimates that a total of 294 S. type boats are required and recommends that 75 be | authorized now. The British navy has now built or building 22S sub marines, of which about 75 are of large or fleet type''
 Admiral Badger emphasized the need i for additional mine sweepers and | patrol vessels and spoke of the deve1- opment during the war of the airplane l carrier. Fleet engagements will be | preceded in the future by operations in the air, he stated. and the general 1 board recommends that the fleet be provided with facilities to carry on such operations.
 Disposition of the ships surrendered ] by Germany rests with the peace con ference, Admiral Badger stated in re-
 sponse to questions at the close of
 the meeting as to whether or not he l thought these vessels should be de- | stroyed, returned or distributed among 1 the allies
 The necessity of the United States navy being equal to the most power ful maintained by any other nation in the world by 1925 is as great now as it has ever been,'' declared the ad- miral. This may not be possible by I 1925. if the German ships are dis | tributed in large numbers to certain
 powers. but we should do it as speed
 fly as possible"
 Admiral Badger told the committee
 that the United States had agreed
 with the British government to pay
 s50 for each American soldier trans :
 ported overseas in British vessels He
 said England frequently had asked for
 larger sum but no agreement as se
 an increase had been reached.
