WASHINGTON SOLON
WANTS STRONG NAVY

WASHINGTON, March 1-(United
Press. )-Carrying the fight to OPP
ponents of the naval appropriations
bill today, Senator Poindexter, Wash
igton, in a speech to the senate, de-
clared that the United States is in a
critical situation in regard to foreign
relations and it must have an ade-
'quate navy.
Poindexter declared in favor of the
international disarmament conference
provided for by the Borah amend
ment to the bill, but said such an
amendment was not necessary as the
next president will have full power
to initiate such a conference without
congressional action.
'S.<a Failed to Get Rights.
I'VE got nothing out Of the war, "
said Poindexter, except the chance
to have an adequate navy. Now an
effort is being made to destroy that.
We didn't even get the island of zap.
After it was too late to protect the
rights Of the United States, an effort
was made to assert our rights, but it
appears to have failed"
Any provision for disarmament,
Poindexter said, should authorize
American representatives to "nego-
tinte for a disarmament plan which
would be submitted to congress-
rather than seek to have this coun-
try Immediately enter disarmament
agreement.
Japan Superior In Battle Cruisers.
Poindexter said that Japan was su-
perior to this country IN battle cruis-
ers and modern scout cruisers. When
Japan completes her program. he
said. she will have four capital ships
Of such great sped and fighting ra'
dius that they will be able to sweep
the Pacific"
Borah warned that It would be i'm
possible to submit some proposals In
the navy bill to the senate until they
had been discussed two days or more
One of these is the appropriation OF
$1,500,000 for supply base at the
proposed Alameda, Calf, naval base
"That appropriation means that we
are re-embarking on project thai
will cost 500, 100000 or more" saio
oBrah. "The senate must be giver
the facts about it before it can vote
intelligently."
Poindexter urged Borah to let the
senate pass on the items without dis
cussion, but Borah rlearly indicated
his intention of discussing them ex,
haustively. II he maintains that at
titude it will be impossible to pass
the bill this session.

Declares United States in Critical
Situation In Regard to Foreign
Relations

W A SH I N G r O n, Mar. 1.
united Press. )-Opposition to
the selection of Alameda as the
site of the Pacific naval base to-
day formed one of the main
centers of the Senate attack
against the naval appropriation
bill.
Senator King, Of Utah, de-
clared that the appropriation
Of 81, 5000 for Alameda
means only tho beginning of
appropriations for much larger
sums. The United States, he
said, already had q Pacific base
at Mare Island, which could be
developed to meet present and
future demands.
Senator Phelan, Of California,
asserted that naval experts had
found Mare Island inadequate
and that ''neighborhood policy"
had been the principal support
Of Mare Island. Senator Borah,
of Idaho, an opponent Of the
naval bill, questioned the rec.
concentrations which led to the
choice of Alameda.
Phelan also warned of the in.
creasing necessity for providing
improvement of defense ON the
Pacific coast.
