BASISOF NAVY,
BOARD REPLIES
No Thought Of World
Competitive Building
Daniels Is Told

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. - The
major ship remains the basis of sea
power and those who argue that the
airplane and submarine have supple
mented it are asking the country to
"accept hopes for accomplishments" +"
the navy general board says in a
report to Secretary Daniels made
public today.
"The general board having kept
in touch with naval progress along
all lines," says the report, "reiterates
its belief in battleships forming the
principal units of the fleet. Without
them the United States cannot hope
to compete with existing navies."
Urging that the equality in power
be the continuing naval policy of the
United States, the board says there
Is "no thought of instituting inter-
national competitive building and
that no other nation can in, reason
tai e exception to such position"
PIt cannot justly be construed as
a ehallenge," the report continues.
"a policy of equal or substantially
equal ornaments may well tend to d1'
minish their growth and lessen the
danger of sudden war"
Asserting that the guiding policy
that had shaped the general boards
construction recommendations since
1903 was that of eventually creating
a navy equal to the strongest in the
world. the board urged that "no rest
period Or limitation of agreement"
be agreed to by the United States
that would modify the great naval
building program of 1916 now under
construction sin numbers, general
types. or dates of completion"
The cessation of naval building
- Great Britain was attributed by
ie general board to the great pre-
ponderance in her navy of all types
of ships and to tn epresent economic
situation in that empire. The sus-
pension of work on the United States
naval program for six months to al
low experts to determine. in the light
of the lessons of the war, what types
of ships and to the present economic
ed in the pending Borah resolution,
ais neither necessary nor advisable,
the board asserte.

the most truthful picture of the hor.

Things seem black to the ordinary

This condition is bad enough but
people see little reward for the

Reminded that the first editor of

Gibbs was asked with what expec-

criminal stupidity of modern war.
