WOULD PROCEED WITH
NAVY BUILDING PROGRAM
Representative Britten's Bill Dis
coufages Cutting Strength
Through Foreign Agreements.

SU6A q o4SA6A x36ANSAACAtSs
Opposing all plans for cutting down
the nations naval strength through
disarmament agreements with for.
eign countries, Representative Brit
ten of Illinois, republican member Of
the House naval affairs committee,
has introduced a joint resolution to
direct the Navy Department to pro-
coed at once with its big building
program.
Coming on the heels of the naval
reduction movement in the Senate,
the Britten resolution was designed
by its author to put squarely before
Congress the question whether this
country should endeavor to join with
Great Britain and Japan in naval
holiday" or go ahead with the con-
struction Of ships.
The resolution declares "that the
it's economic and political independ-
ence to the letters of an internati onal
treaty materially limiting naval arma-
ments. thereby involving it's freedom
Of action in ways and for objects not
at present discernible. and that all
warship construction authorized to
date be completed in the shortest
tho nations desire for economy and
sound business practice in the private
and government shipbuilding yards"
Mr.. >Britten declared. in a statement,
that there was no human way for the
British navy to retain the supremacy
Of the sea without this so-caAed
naval holiday" and that there could
trust and no armament on the one
hand, ''and distrust with such ar7na-
ment as we think desirable on the
other"

SAYS U. S. WILL NEVER
BECOME LITERALLY DRY
Commissioner Kramer, However,
Declares the Prohi bition Law
Is "Here to STAY"

The United States will never be lit
orally dry prohibition, Commissioner
Kramer declared in a statement yester-
day. though he expressed the opinion
prohibition, il here to stay. Sentiment
throughout the country. he said, is
continually growing stronger for pro-
hibition, and practical prohibition
will come after the present genera
ton. which is familiar with liquor, is
gone. he continued, though there prob
ably always will be some few individ-
uals who will make intoxicants in
their homes. The sons and daughters
OF the men OF today, he asserted, will
grow up without taste for liquor.
The commissioner declared that
despite evidence of la,wbreaking in
some sections. the country as a
whole is behind the amendment to the
Constitution. New York and the east,
he asserted. cannot be considered as
rejecting the attitude Of the country
at large. and in general west Of Pitts
burgh the country is dry.
Difficulties experienced with pro-
hibition agents were to be expected,
he declared. but as a body they were
doing their duty. Most of the enforce
ment agents Mr.. Kramer described as
men who could take a drink in order
to carry out their ORDERS" but his
best agent, he said, was a Methodist
minister.
Federal prohibition directors in
each state have been asked by Com
missioner Kramer to keep a card in
dex of.all persons having permits to
purchase liquor, SO that a closer su-
pervision can be kept Of such traffic
Data, on the cards will show the
amount Of liquor in possession Of
each license holder, the amount and
kind Of liquor bought, the amount
shipped and delivered and the name
Of the person using the permit.
