DANIELS TO REQUEST
BIG NAVY PROVIDED
RATIFICATION FAILS

Washington, Mar. .6-Secretary Dan
lels told the house naval committee to-
day he would recommend a naval
building program for the next fiscal
year larger than that proposed by the
general board ''if the peace treaty is
not ratified at this session of congress-,
Withholding final recommendation.
however, the secretary added that IL
this country in the end rejected mem
bership in the league of nations, he
would feel impelled to renew his rec
ommendation for another three-year
program of construction. Reiterating
his statement of last year that I'VE
must have a league of nations by
which every nation will help preserve
the peace of the world without COM
petitive naval building or we must
have incomparably the biggest navy in
the world Mr.. Daniels declared there
was no middle ground"

The program which the secretary
recommended be authorized in the
event the treaty is not ratified agreed
with the general boards proposal as y.
capital ships-two battleships and one
battle cruiser-but added to that pro-
posal twenty light cruisers and four
teen flotilla leaders, or super-destroy
ers. No light cruisers and only STA
-destroyers were recommended
by the board.
! Ii had been his intention II the peace
treaty were ratified with the possibil-
ity of ornaments being curtailed and

recommend definitely only such a
moderate building program necessary
to round out the fleet" No capital
ships would have been included in this
program, he added, but in the unset
tied condition of the world today" he
declared THE American navy must
be prepared for any emergency"
THE question for you TO decide, y
the secretary. told the committee sis
whether the United States in future

six battle cruisers under construction

Daniels said, has taxed facilities ant
