Back IN August, If They
Can Be Spared.

Secretary OF the Navy Daniels told
the House Naval Affairs Committee
yesterday.
Secretary Daniels announcement
followed a declaration by Chairman
Butler that "the War Department has
promised that all the soldiers will be
back by the middle of July. and the
people expect the department to keep
that promise. II 1t is not kept there
will be some expression from Con-
gress on the conduct Of the War De-

There Is no difference of opinion
about the desire to have all the men
in Europe back by August, IL the
War Department is able to release
them" said Secretary Daniels. The
inability Of the War Department to
release all the men. he explained,
hinges on the size OF the army of
occupation the United States will be

In view OF this restriction. according
to the Secretary. no time will be lost
in beginning construction il il should
be found necessary later on to put the
original plans into effect.
BY the time the regular session
of Congress convenes in December.
he added. the Navy Department will
have had time to study conditions
and make recommendations to meet
the situation as then indicated.
Asked if he had stated that the
United States should take the initia-
tive in curtailing armaments. the
Secretary replied that he had no
such intention. He agreed with the
suggestion that as the United State $
is not the supreme naval power
and by reasons of it's distance from
Europe cannot be considered as a
menace. 1t is not incumbent upon
this country to set the precedent"
The idea that intended to con-
vey." continued Mr.. Daniels. was
that the leading nations of the
world entering into the league of
nations should not set the competi-
tive pace in warship construction"
Explains London Speech.
Secretary Daniels was told that
some inconsistency was seen I'm his
former position as compared with his
attitude now. especially in view of his
reported reiteration in London a few
weeks ago of the intention of the
United States to build the greatest
navy in the world.
What 1 said i'm London" he replied.
was that America had large interests
which it would protect at all times
and as a result always would need
a large navy. This great naval force,
however. would be used more par
ticularly to protect the peace of the
world"
The Secretary admitted that he had
no official assurances as to the future
building policy of Great Britain and
Japan. He said he understood that
Great Britain would do nothing to-
wards expanding its navy in the near
future No construction has been
started by Great Britain since the
armistice. he added.
Set Pace IL Necessary.

iels continued. Great Britain prob
aDly Will tdhC nO Steps WIN Etshiu
to naval construction"
He plainly intimated that II Great
Britain and Japan pursue a policy
of expansion the United States will
set the pace.
Chairman Butler and members o.
the House Naval Affairs Committee
are In accord with the view of Secrn-
tary Daniels that II the league of
nations should fail the United States
must build warships with the object
of creating the greatest navy in the
world.
