Vorld toward universal peace and the
peration of the proposed league OF

The naval secretary asserted that
Is the United States had taken g

Int by refusing to authorize further
large additions to the sea forces
Work on the 1916 program, he said

Eble, but the 1919 program which, it
5 estimated, would involve an ex-

No Half Way Ground.
There can be no halfway ground"
he told the committee which will
initiate all naval legislation. Either
We must have the league to safe
