May i7.--Secretary Daniels today let go verbal broad side against the advocates of gen. eral staff for the navy, declaring that they sought to "Prussianize" the navy departments and make the civilian secretary. q rubber stamp" He told the senate committee Investigating the navy's conduct of the war that -one of Rear Admiral Sims chief ob- iects in writing his letter of January and bringing about this investiga- tion was to curtail the powers of the secretary and remove the navy. so far as is possible. from civilian control. !"
 Running like a thread thru most of the evidence that has been given before the committee has been Sdvo. racy of the general staff for the con duct of the American navy and elimi- nation of civilian control" said Mir Daniels. "Sonse of the officers have frankly ayowed their advocacy of Prussiani1ing the navy"
 About the only piece of advice for mer Secretary George von L. Meyer gave him when he succeeded him. Air. Daniels asserted. was the admonition that there were officers in the navy who wished less power for the civilian secretary and more for themselves.
 Should Remain.
 ~Power lies here" Mir. Daniels said Never told him as he pointed to the secretary's desk. ''and t should re- main here
 He did not fully understand what his predecessor meant until few months later when Admiral Fiske and other disciples of the Won Tirpitz sys- tenn of naval control sought to or gnEize the American navy on the PruSSian plan. Secretary Daniels said
 Rear Admiral Sims charges against the navy department showed hostility toward certain officers and a desire to damage the ranking officers who di- rected naval operations during the war, the naval secretary declared. ad- ding that ~the evidence has shown a desire to discredit the secretary of the navy because he was not rub Der stamp secretary"
 Keep Rubber Stamp"
 If Congress wished to depart from the traditional American policy of civilian control of the navy, it should do So directly and clearly and with out pretense." said Mr. Daniels. by making an admiral secretary of the navy and member of the presidents cabinet. The most ardent advocates of the general staff system had not advocated going so far. however. be- cause they wished to keep rubber stamp civilian as figurehead in the secretary's office. he declared

3. Our state and nation are heavily

indirectly by the common citizen. add
to the ever-increasing cost of living.
We demand that taxes on large incomes
and excess profits be continued and in
creased, so that surplus wealth may be
compelled to pay the money cost of the
war, 50 that prohteering may be dis
couraged and the burden of taxes be
shifted to those best able to bear it..

principle we indorse and subscribe te

In carrying out these principles we
pledge ourselves, if elected, to take the
following immediate steps: IA

will compel adequate payment by in

sources to build up immense private for

protected by the present administration.
Such taxes will relieve other taxpayers
