 Work on these ships was held up last year by Secretary Daniels until he and technical experts of the navy could visit Europe to confer with admiralty officials there as to what type of capital ships would best serve naval needs in the future. MT. Daniels yesterday in structed the naval general board to give further consideration to this ques- tion as to other types of war craft and he said today the board had been asked to submit its report early next month.
