Opposes Stopping Naral Con-
sfruction Under agreement
With Britain and France

.rCm The TribUneS Washington bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec. l3.-America
must continue its naval building pro-
gram until this nation and ali others
are joined in an association Of nations,
Secretary Daniels said to-day, in op-
posing the suggestion that the United
States, Great Britain and France sign
an agreement TO suspend naval con
struction for period Of five years.
i think that any suggestion of an
alliance between any three nations
1ocs not meet the things which would
lead to world peace or real disarma-
mont Secretary Daniels said.
ANY agreement for reduction of
armament must be between all free ma
'ions. If any three countries make an
agreement it would be in the form OF
an alliance and would be return to
the period before the war which led
directly to tat struggle. Such an al
lance would be interpreted by other
nations as the three nations seekinr
to dominate the world, and instead Of
being step toward world peace it
would make for world uspicion.
Such an alliance would be most
unwlse policy and shortsightedness
on the part OF any three nations form

AS Any Urged

Report Favoring 83-Nessel
Program Asserts Country
Always Must Be Prepared
to Defend Its Rights
Battleships Still Needed
Construction Should Be
Confined to Increasing
Fleet'sCombatantStrength

WASH1NGTN, Dec. 13.-Proposing u
new three-year building program Of
lightweight ships, the General Board
of the navy in its annual report, made
public tonight, reiterates its recon-
mendation that the American Navy be
made the equal of that of any other ma
ton in the world.
"No other nation can in reason take
exception to such position the board
said "ln assuming it the United States
threatens no other nation by the mere
act of placing itself on an equality
with the strongest. It is an act of self
defense which all will acknowledge as
an inherent right, and cannot justly be
construed as a challenge. On the con-
trary, the pursuance of such a policy
of equal naval armament may we'll tend
to diminish their growth, and would
certainly work to lessen the danger of
sudden war.
Nation Must Be Prepared
"A nation with far-reaching and
sometimes conflicting international in
terests must always be prepared to
defend its rights. Navies are peculiar
in that if neglected they lose efficiency
with startling rapidity. 1t is fallacious
20 argue that we can wait few years
and then with our money and our con-
structive genius raise ours quickly to
z power commensurate with our ma
tional needs. 1t cannot be done.
NavIcs arc not built in day. 1t is
matter OF years, even Of generations"
In view of the economic situation
the board said construction should be
confined 10 types that would add only
to the combatant strength OF the fleets.
adding that auXiliaries might be OBJ
tanned through the conversion of mer-
chant vessels in time of emergency.
In recommending the laying down Of
q battleship in each oil the fiscal wears
1922, 1928 and 1924, the board asserted
What nothing that occurred during the
World War has served to change the
ooinlon OF the General Board as to the
vital importance in war OF the battle
snip, the snip that can at once give
and take heavy blows
30 Light Cruisers Proposed
One battle cruiser and thirty light
cruisers also were proposed. The at
ter tne hoard said, should be of 10000
tons, with high speed. long cruising
radius and comparatively heavy arma-
ment. placing them in a distinctly su-
perlor class to the light cruisers OF
other nations. Other new vessels pro-
posed were eight gunboats, eighteen
destroyer leaders, twelve long radius
mine laying submarines and six cruis-
.ng submarines, four airplane carriers
and three destroyer and three subma-
rine tenders.
Should Congress disapprove the
three-year building program, the board
urged authorization OF one battleship
and one battlecruiser with other
smaller craft, in 1922.

The Times, put out the fire last week
called the dog. and emigrated I'd
Kansas. Just what causes lay behind
his move is unknown. but some OF his
friends are inclined to the belief that
Sunny" like all great geniuses, may
be more or less subject to BRAIN
storms and are accounting for his
move on that score. Others are in
clined to the belief that inasmuch as
the denizens of the sunflower state,
through long and practical expert.
ence, are conceded to Be experts on
how not to observe prohibition, tina,
"Sunnys" intentions are to learn the
secrets of Influential" home-brews
at the feet OF prominent Kansas pro-
his and is not SO darned crazy at
that.
Anyway, he is gone,-and The
Times force, who have so long been
associated with him, do not know
whether to feel sorry for Jim" or for
Kansas, but we suspect it will be a
case of the Lord pity both.
OF course, Sunny Jim's" locating
out there will more than compensate
the Sunflower state for the loss OF
Walt Mason, who moved to Cali
fornia short time ago, and as far as
Jim" is concerned, he can be trust
cd to compensate himself if every
thing isn't nailed down or red hot.
Seriously, though, we hate to lose
Sunny Jim from Missouri and while
our smoking tobacco will not go as
fast in the future, we will miss his
sunny smile and cheerful voice
around The Times office and shop.

If you never ate Golden Bantam
Sweet Corn, pleasant surprise
surely awaits you. Its a treat to eat
Golden Bantam-for its milky-sweet,
| rich buttery flavor is delightfully."-
different from that of any white table
corn. The ears are conveniently
small-easy to cook and to handle
while eating and the kernels are
wonderfully tender. There is moth.
ing more tempting than dish OF
these golden ears piled one on top OF
the other.
Since we introduced Golden Ban
tam in 1909 it has become the most
talked-of sweet corn in existence.
Many people plant nothing else
find the flavor of white corn far in
ferior. You surely want to try it, do
you not? Here is the way to secure
supply OF this delicious sweet corn
Summer and Winter:
Stop in OH your way home and buy
your seed from the man who handles
Burpee's Seeds. You will find full
planting directions on each package.
You won't have any trouble growing
Golden Bantam, for it is just as easy
it will mature much earlier. Make a
planting every ten days from the
middle of April until the Fourth OF
July and you will have a plentiful
supply all Summer long.
Should you have a surplus of
corn on hand, either by design or &C
cident, you can store up some OF the
Golden Bantam flavor for the VIM
ter in the following way: Remove
the husks and silk and drop the corn
in boiling water for two or three
minutes. Cut the corn from the cob
with sharp knife. Dry thoroughly
in the hot sun or in moderate oven,
taking care that the grains are not
scorched. Then hang the corn in a
cloth bag in cool place. This dried
corn, if soaked in warm water over
night and cooked slowly for two
hours, will have considerable of the
Golden Bantam flavor.
If you already know Golden Ban
tam, you will not require any urging
on our part to plant it. If, however,
you have not yet met this Little Col
den Aristocrat of the Corn Family,
we hope you will get acquainted this
season. We know you will be favor
ably impressed.
