This represents a net increase of 65,000 over the house bill - but -251,000 less than requested by the navy department The bill is to be called up next Tues- day, by agreement to lay aside the pending tariff bill ternporarily, under plans made by Senator Poindexter, Republican, Washington, who will have active charge of the naval bud- get Much less opposition than usual was anticipated in the senate because of the committee's action in agreeing with the house to an enlisted person- nel of 86,000 men and 19.500 marines, but notice has been given of objection to several of the committée increases. Senator King, Democrat, Utah, is ex Pected to move to reduce the marine corps personnel to 10,000 men, and to terminate marine operations in Haitl and Santo Domingo. Principal increases in navy appre ciations noted in the committee re- port were: Navy buildings 10,000,000; new aircraft $6,537,000; pay $26,016,000; engineering $2,695,000 and construc- tion and repair of vessels $2,000,000.

The bill carries no appropriations re: quested by the navy department for new Pacific coast naval bases, the committee rejecting requests, for new torpedo destroyer base ‘at San Pedto, Cal., the proposed fleet base at Aiameda, Cal., and an aviation base at Sand Point, Wash. The committee, however, authorized $687,500 increase for the Puget Sound and Pearl Harbor, Hawail navy yards. In this connection the report said “these are the only naval bases which the United States has on the Pacific capsble of properly recciving and ae- commpodating our largyst armed and eqinpped battleships." “And the arms limitation treaty pre- venting the development of naval bases farther west,” tho report continued, | “these stations become of increased ltnportance.
