Washington, Fep. -4.—Satisfied from festimony of & larZe number of witnesses that caliing from testimony of a large number of wiinesses that calling of an international conference to discuss dis- armament would meet with general ap- proval, the house naval committee today called before it ten high officers of the navy ard one of the army and heard a vast amount of divergent and confusing testimony as to whether aircraft had de capital naval vessels useless.

He added, however, that if aerial furces rdemonstrated the value he expected them to in the near future, they would soon make mafor surface craft useless. He oppcsed discontinuing work on the sreat 1916 naval building programme and de- clared “ndbody is going to take his hand oft his gun” until tonditions become set- tied in Europ: The superiority of the battleship ove: either the airplane or submarine was defended by Rear Admiral Charles J.

Still another view was presented ‘by Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, retired, former member of the general board and inventor of the torpedoplane, who told the committee that aerial dreadnoughts would be the capital ships of the fu- ture. Briggdler General William Mitchell, chiet Ui training and/operations of the army air service, called to the stand, told the committee that it was a simple mat- ter for air forces to hit and destroy a battleship, and repeated his _testi mony of last week before the appropri- ations committee to the effect that aerial developments had made surface navies obsolete. General Mitchell cleared up one point that had been causing the committee some wonderment all day whe he declared that data, s@pposed by nav officic's to be secret, but discovered by him before a senate committee, had been secured by army officers who attended the bombing of the old battleship Indiana at the invitation of Secretary Daniels. General Mitchell was on the stand when the session concluded and will continue his testimony tomorrow. All of the naval officers who testified stressed the necessity for the immediats construction of high. speed airpiane-car- rying ships. While the house committee heard this testimony, the sgnate naval sub-commit- fee drafted an adverse report on the res- olution presented by Senator Borah, re- publican, Idaho, providing for o six months’ suspension of mnaval building while experts study the best types of ships.
