Washington, Feb. s.-An American
navy 'at least equal to that of any other
power is advocated in a report of the
senate naval committee filed today in the
senate.
The committee, replying to the Borah
resolution, said 1T is not practical and
is not a sound policy to suspend naval
construction for a period of six months
nor at all" 1t urged completion of the
great 1916 naval program, except that
two huge naval aircraft carriers be built
in place Of twelve destroyer mad six sub
marines which have been authorized but
lot yet contracted for.
Capital ships remain the principal
unlits of sea power the committee said,
adding that submarines and aircraft were
as yet only auxiliary forces.
The committee report, to which Senator
King democrat, Utah, plans to file a
minority report tomorrow, expressed a
desire that an agreement for limitation
OF naval armament might be reached
among the nations, but said that until
some such arrangements we're made the
United States should continue its build
ing program.
In view Of the importance of sea
power to the United States" the commit
tee informed the senate ''and the fact
that without 1t we would be at the
mercy of other nations it is the opinion
OF your committee that this country
should maintain a navy at least equal ia
that of any other power. The lessons OF
history teach us with indisputable truth
that We cannot afford to depend for the
maintenance of our rights and the de.
fense Of lives and commerce of our citi-
zens uDon the mercy, generosity or good
will OF other powers with rival or con.
hicting interests and ambitions"
1t is the opinion of this committee,
the report continued, that the United
States should have under its control
sufficient force to protect and preserv.
both its material posse ssions, the policie.
it has established, the lives and rights o.
It's citizens and the principles upor
which its government is founded.
For these reasons we are Of the opin
ion that there should be no suspension o.

MURDERER ON DATE FIXED

New Orleans. Feb. s.-Attorney Gene

ME Easton, a negro who has been living
since Feb. because the sheriff forgot

to set the date, and although the sheriff
had overlooked the execution on the date

not take place at another time

the war, and in the past few years
have not increased in proportion to in
creased publishing costs. The speaker
gave figures tending to show that
