PROGRAM
OUTLINED
Senate Committee Finds
Documents Printed By
Hearst To Be False.
PROBE CONTINUES
Unable To Name Persons
Responsible For Faxed
Papers.
By THOMAS T.. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondcnt)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1l.--Secre-
tary of the Navy Wilbur revealed
today that the 5000, 900 building
program he recommended to CON
gress was drafted as a five year
program for immediate needs and is
regarded as only starter. He adj
vocated 90 year program of build
ing and replacement as necessary
for national defense and protection
OF foreign commerce.
The 20 year program, he suggest
cd to the house naval affairs com
mittee, should provide 43 10000
ton cruisers as well as additional
submarines and destroyers. The
$500, 100000 program, which he ar
2ued today, included % cruisers, 81
submarines, nine destroyer leaders
and five aircraft carriers.
Wilbur emphasized the five year
program means no competitive
building and is not proposed to
meet building programs of other ma
tions.
He explained, however, that it
would bring the navy well within
the equality ration fixed by the
! Washington armament conference
as compared with Great Britain and
Slightly above the five-three ratio
with Japan unless she increases her
program.
"The insistence of Great Britain
at the recent Geneva conference
upon her absolute need for large
! tonnage of cruisers, regardless of
/ the naval program of other pow
ers,' he said, is most persuasive
| evidence that we also have definite
needs for cruiser tonnage.
President Coolidge, he said, is OPP
posed to competitive building.
First Glass Navy Needed
"The program we are now sub
mitting to congress is in no sense
competitive but is based upon the
needs of our navy as it is determin-
ed by the Secretary of the Navy up
on the technical advice of the gem
eral board of the navy" Wilbur
said.
eve do believe he said, "that
the number of cruisers proposed in
| this bill is reasonable burden 10
be assumed by our government for
the protection of it's vital interests
and that if the building program
/ here presented is carried out and
supplemented by continuous build
ing and replacement program over a
period of 20 years, and if this
building is Systematically and con-
tinuously kept up in the future, the
danger of war and therefore of de-
struction of our overseas commerce
will be greatly minimized if not en-
tirely met.
America needs a first class
navy.
"The building program presented
by the navy department is based
upon our needs in the same sense
that the police force of any city is
based upon its estimate of needs for
the protection of the public. -
