ASSEMBLY ACTION
Sends Letter Declaring lnveStiga-
ton Proves Anti-Saloon League
Is Making Good.

William Fl. Anderson to-day sent a
letter to the Assembly, headed Some
Plain Talk and a Square Defiance to
the Assembly"
'Unpopularity with the Assembly is
the best evidence to most Of the con-
stitutency of the AntiSaloon League
that 1t as their agency is making good "
the letter said. This threatened in
vestigation is furnishing further proof
that the activity OF the league counts
against them and hurts the "wets" "
The Anti-Saloon League was deter
mined to focus the attention of the
state on the question OF Prohibition en-
forcement this year regardless OF con-
sequences II, in addition to that, we
succeed in getting the gas let out OF
the old investigation bluf, there has
been that much gain.
1--WE openly defy the Assembly to
silence us or to stop this kind of work.
we have not violated any law and
there is nothing that we are afraid Of"

ering establishing a naval base on her
coast. They thus hoped. Sims indl-
Gated, TO drive the German feet out
OF hiding.
Replying to Sims's demand that the
American coast be stripped, the Navy
Department caibled on July 10, 1917
an outline Of the departments policy,
declaring that while a successful
termination of the present war must
always be the first Allied aim and
will probably result in diminished
tension throughout the world. the flu
ture position of the United states
must in no way be jeopardized by
any disintegration of our main fight
ing fleet"
The cable offered TO send the fleet
TO Europe as whole, but not in
part
THE astounding feature OF this
policy was that while 1t stated our
intention to cooperate, still such CO.
operation was conditioned upon an
adequate defense OF our own waters
and next upon the future position OF
the United states after this war was
finished" said the Admiral
A message from the Navy Depart
ment. dated July 5, to the effect that
several small vessels were being sent,
INDICATED that they were at last be-
| ginning to realize that there was a
war being fought in Europeap
waters" declared Admiral Sims.
Il am only introducing testimony
so far along in 1913 at this time to
bring out the accumulated effect OF
not having thrown our fun weight
into tho war at the beginning" the
Admiral said.
The situation was so serious and
the consequences OF failure 80 terrible
that ! went beyond the channels
which the navy afforded me and en-
listed tho services. Of such men as

At one point Admiral Sims paused
to outline his purpose. 81 wish to
show" he said, the great evil and
great danger of trying to manage a
war by cable at a distance OF 3,0OC
miles"
In August. 1917 he said the Brit.
iSh Admiralty asked for a squadron
OF coal burning battleShips. The de-
partment answered II was not pro,
posed TO "disintegrate" the American

Admiral Benson, Chief of Naval Op,
erations, said the department wa
disappointed" that no plan for Join
operahons had been developed.
Admiral Benson visited LondoI

himself OF the wisdom OF sending owe

and received a reply that the New
York. Florida, Delaware and Wyom

SOARING COSTS
OF SCHOOLS BRING
EDUCATION CRISIS
Continued From First Pago.)

said Aldermanic President La Guar
dia. The programme is twenty
seven. God only knows when we'll
be able to complete one-half or one
quarter Of that number.
"A member Of the Board Of Esti- p
mate was told that, under normal
conditions, It took 300 days to com
plete a school In his desire to facil-
itate the building programme to
catch up with the appalling condi-
ton Of 100000 or more children with
out accommodations. he suggested
that the work Of building schools be
accelerated so that school would be
finished in $50 days.
" You'll be very lucky il you get a
school finished in a year or a year and
half under present conditions was
the startling reply OF the contractors.
They meant that labor troubles, un-
availability OF building material and
the high cost OF the same had
knocked all past programmes to
smithereens.
THE contractors then suggested
building schools on cost plus con-
tracts. That's worse than highway
robbery. I'd stand against n wal
and be shot before agreeing to that
kind of plan. II robbed the Gov
ernment Of countless millions.
The price OF steel, a very impor-
tant element in school construction
has again gone up and the steel mill
owners say they are not getting the
increase. Then who is getting IT.
Brichiayers who are paid $3.50 a day
here are going elsewhere and getting
$40. Nobody, of course, can blame
the bricklayer, but this drifting Oh
skilled labor to other fields leaves us
figuratively flat on our backs"

OF Nations then even In contem-
platlOn, yet We were not building
then to outstrip Great Britain.
Now why should we at the pres
cnt time, even without the
League Of Nations, embark upon
a programme to outbuild Great
Britain? why should we change
the policy we have followed tor
the past four or FIVE years?
Secretary Daniels--I do not
think we ought to start on a pro-
gramme or be Influenced by "a
programme to outbuild Great
Britain or in competition with any
one particular nation, bet think
If VIC are to go back to the old
conditions. particularly with the
great unrest throughout the
world, that our country ought to
have a navy not surpassed by any
navy in the world.
Mr.. Hicks-Then you think
there Is some single national sit
uation that warrants going ahead
and building the largest navy in
the world which did not exist five
years ago when there was no
League?
DANIELS SAYS HE LEARNED
SOMETHING IN THE WAR.
Secretary Daniels-The war
taught US some lessons, and
have learned something, l hope.
think in this country all Of US
and l say all of us because l
think 1t applies truly to Ameri-
cans--thought we were not in
danger OF a war-a world war.
Many people thought that the
great commercial interests OF the
world were so powerful that they
would prevent u world war, and
l think, looking back upon it,
that we did not apprehend the
dangers that existed, and that II
our foresight had been as good as
our, hindsight in 1918 and 1914 /
would have recommended and
urged this Committee to build
many more ships than we built.
l am certain that when the war
came | would have given any
thing on earth and mortgaged my
souls future tor as many destroy
ers as we have now.
Mr., Venable: In the event that
the United states does so into the
League Of Nations, and the
Treaty Is ratified, do you think
we should build the programme TO
round out the fleet as a fighting
machine?
Secretary Daniels: Yes, be-
cause with a League of Nations,
as 1t would be now, the passing OF
year has ocCasioned the loss
OF much OF moral force that a
League of Nations should have.
1t will be years before the cOun-
tries OF the world will accept its
decisions, and l think that this
country ought be in q position to
furnish quite as strong a force
for the world mobile police us any
other nation. do not like the
idea OF our country, rich as 1t is,
and powerful as it Is, saying
I'VE will let some other nation
furnish this mobile force" l want
US to sit at the table and say
We'll, we will do this equally
with anybody"
The foregoing is not only remark
Jble passage in naval history, but
shows that President Wilson is nc
altogether sure that naval disarina
nent is going to be accomplished yer
ioon. The Administration policy to
ward disarmament has not changeC
