Another witness who derided
the need of this nation for a larg-
er navy was DR.. Charles A Beard,
historian and one-time adviser Of
the Institute of Municipal Re
search of Tokyo. Declaring that
he was not a pacifist or a member
of a pacifiSt organization, the
professor urged the House to go
slow in voting approval of big
battleShips TO be used in aggres-
sive warfare in the far Pacific or
the Far Atlantic. DR.. Beard
questioned the value of dread
naughts for any kind of warfare.
and declared that the idea of Ger
many, Italy or Japan conveying
5000, 900 soldiers across the seas is
simply fantaStic-the kind of
nightmares which the holders of
ship-building stocks have when
ordinary business is BAD. He
termed the threat that these ma
tons would invade South Amer
lea a new racket created to herd

that certain commitments had
been made by this country with
foreign powers, only to consider
that Secretary Hulfs denial was
a satisfactory answer, returned to
the issue by expressing fear that

ne, had been taken for "a ride"
with neither of US knowing ex-
actly what was in the offing or
what had been agreed upon"
Senator Johnson explained that
ne stood ''for a good navy, a big
