WASHINGTON, Dec. 30---In order tc
keep the first line of the American navy
on a par with the sea forces - the
other great powers. President Harding
asked Congress to-day for special APP
preparation OF S6,500.000 as beginning
on battleshp modernization pr ogran.
The plan behind the request marks a
change of policy resulting directly from,
the Washington arms conference and
was described by Secretary DENLY in
letter accompanying the Presidents
recommendation as of major and vital
Importance" in national defense
Before the conference it had been the
practice to build new ships rather than
modernize the old ones. policy which
no longer can be followed because o.
the construction limitations imposed by
the naval limitation treaty
Secretary DENLY reported that a de-
tailed study OF the problem had been
made by naval officers, and that the
s6,50o.o00 asked for would make it pos
sible to begin work on thirteen vessels.
Ultimately. he estimated. the program
would cost a total of s30.o00,000

The new ships the United States was
building and has agreed to scrap under
the treaty were equipped with all the.
devices which II now becomes necessary
to add to the older craft. The new ships
would have had main batteries with
range OF $4,000 yards and the interior
construction of the hulls was calculated
to minimize the danger from torpedo
attack.
The old fourteen inch guns which are
to be retained under the treaty were
designed and built before aircraft spot
ting made possible effective gun fire be-
yond the limit of vision from the ship.
They were also built before the great
war proved the effectiveness Of sub
marine attack with torpedoes.
