SENATOR ROBINSON
 ANSWERS CRITICS
 OF LEAGUE PLAN
By Associated Press

Washington, May 26.--Supporting tho league of nations a practical step toward the prevention of war, Senator piled in the Senate today to many of the objections that have been brought forward by senators against the pro- poxai.
 Far from creating super govern ment. thes peaker declared, the league would be "our agent not our master. It would not be inconsistent with the American traditions, he asserted, ard could not involve the United States against it's will in foreign auarreIs, He denied the validity of constitutional points raised by Senators sherman of Illinois, Knox of Pennsylvania and others on the republican side and Sem ator Read. democrat, of Missouri that the league would endanger the dos- tinies of the white race.
 There were few interruptions during the two-hour speech and the exchange which did occur lacked much of the bitterness which heretofore has char acterized the debate At the adjourn ment the resolution which brought the subject before the Senate-a3 proposal by Senator Johnson, republican, of California to ask the state depart ment for the complete treaty text remained the unfinished business and will come up again tomorrow.
 Senator Robinson took up in detail the constitutional objections to the league covenant, quoting precedeLts to show that the covenant provisions in many particulars follow the same legal lines as treaties now in force. In replying to Senator Reads argument that the league would give majority voice in world affairs to the black brown, red and yellow races, the Ar. kansas senator declared MT. Read had been blinded by prejudice.
 There is no race question involved continued Mir. Robinson. Would the senator favor league composed of white nations alone and thus force cie- alton of league of nations composed of other races? The senator's conten- tion is totally unimportant whsn viewed in connection with the fact tha: decisions of the league must os unanimous.'
 Senator Reed. the speaker charged. had sought to intimidate senators from the south by injecting the race question" into the league debate and had challenged" southern supporters of the league to justify themselves be- fore their constituency
 T accept the challenge" said Sen1- tor Robinson. The day the senator leaves Washington to go to Missouri to justify himself before his constitu- tents for his opposition to every effort for 8 league of nations. on that day go to Arkansas to justify my support of this league. And if I don't get back before he does I'll never come back.
 'If the people of Arkansas don't vote for the league two to one or more I'll retire from the Senate"
 Senator Reed replied that he was in no position to judge the Arkansas sen

QUICK COMPLETION AUTHORIZED SHIPS AND FORCE 25O,OOO
 FAVORED BY NAVY
Experts Decide Against Composite Ship Designed To Take Place of Bat tleship and Cruiser,
 Daniels Discloses
sy A..,clst,d rrs..

Washington, May 28.-Al- though the Navy Department has placed itself on record as being opposed to launching new building programs which would give the United States a navy second to none in the world,' it is in favor of rush ing to completion all capital ships already authorized and of maintaining, temporarily at least, a force of men capable of handling s'any emergency which might arise"
 Secretary Daniels, continuing his testi- mcny today before the House naval af- fairs committee. read communication from the general board which recom- mended that the 10 battieships and six battle cruisers authorized in the 1916 programme shold be completed as soon as possible, and that no radical changes should be made in construction of the vessels.
 Recommendation was made by the Sec retary that provision be made in the 1920 appropriation bill for navy of 2o0,loo men, only 2, ,00o less than are now in the service. He asserted that unless this number was authorized the navy would be unable to aid materially in bringing American troops home from Europe and in addition would be dangerously weak ened' .f
 CAREFUL STUDY NECESSARY >Mr Daniels emphasized that the navy department did not intend to ask Con gress at this time for a permanent navy of 25o.Ooo men. but only for a temporary force large enough to take care of the work arising in the transition period be- tw cen war and peace Between now and the department would have to study carefully the situation and arrived at a definite conclusion as to the country s needs.
 The recommendations from the genera, board regarding the early completion of the 19ls programme disclosed that the naval experts had decided against the composite ship, which had been planned to take the place of the battleship and battle cruiser.
 It was assumed that discussion by Sec retary Daniels and Rear Admirals Grif- fin. Earle and Taylor of foreign battle ship construction led to the abandonment oe the plans for the rev type.
