US, NAVY GREATEST
IN WORLD AFTER 1923
Representative Britten Declares
it Will be Even Superior
20 England's.

Washington, April l6.-Following the
testimony that the navy personnel is being
demoralized through designations and
descrsions, Representative Britten OF
Illinois. ranking member of the House
Naval Affairs Committee. presented to
the House a study based upon very ex-
haustive investigation TO show that the
American Navy in 1923 will be superior
To the British Navy.
Britten's action was considered of inn
portance because of the fight being made
by the Republican Steering Committee
of the House TO prevent the granting of
additional pay 10 officers and men OF the
navy. As a member of the House Con-
ference Committee considering the pay
increase bill, Britten has been making a
fight for the increases and practically IN
defiance of the Steering Committee edict.
IL is evident the naval pay increase
situation is reaching n point where there

the Steering Committee continues IN its
policy of preventing the increases. Brit
ten would not discuss the situation yester-
day nor talk about his action in suddenly
submitting the figures on ships and arma-
ment to the House. Ii is known. however,
that he has aligned himself with two
Democratic members of the House COM
mittee in favor of the pay increases and
thus has created n situation that If any
action is taken at all it will be action to
increase the nav and TO overthrow the
Steering Committee.
Britten has said in public statements
that the future Of the navy depends upon
the maintenance of a trained and highly
efficient personnel and that this personnel
cannot be had unless the pay increases
are granted That the pay increases
would not involve the expenditure of
more than Sl,OOO,O0O has been casual

II is known, has been rather discouraged
that the steering committee would band

sum in the face of authentic information
