Without them the United States cannot hope to cope with ex- isting navies.” The report, signed by Rear Admiral Charles U. Badger, President and former Commander-in-Chief of the Atlantic Fleet, was approved by Sec- retary Daniels and was transmitted by him to the Senate Naval Commit- tee for Its information inf considering pending disarmament and “naval policy” resolutions. Asserting that the guiding policy that had shaped the General Board's construction recommendations since 1908 was that of eventually creating a navy equal to the strongest in the world, the board urges that “no rest period or limitation of armament” be agreed to by the United States that would modify the great naval build- ing programme of 1916, now under construction, in general types or dates of completion.” The ships authorized in the 1916 programme are thofoughly modern, the report says, adding that there is no reason to believe that develop- ments in submarine or aerial warfare will seriously detract. from their value for many years. The work of completing the programme, the report continued, should not deter the navy from developing to the utmost new or partially developed weapons such us submarines, aircraft and alreraft car- “numbers, AT 45 00 NEW FROCKS OF CANTON CREPE THREE DISTINCTIVE MODELS STRAIGHTLY SILHOVETTED WITH TUNIC OR, TIER» DRAPED SKIRTS; BEADWORK G~AND EMBROIDERY ARE EFFECTIVELY USED BY WAY OF ORNAMENTATION A suspension of work on the naval bullding programme for six months ( asking the country | o determine, in the| ons of the World War, pa are most usetul, ie pending Borah ither necessary nor board asserts, m of 414,524 new of the total Th 1910 Newark Dad Which wus 2 cont the Inst te 1 he war are already LiL ASKS WILSON TO ACT ON DISARMAMENT | House Committee Reports Resolu- | F “You Always Pay Less at May’ NO CONNECTION WITH ANY OTHER STORE IN THE U.S and the next watk has 209, 4 THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1921. |to tion Requesting Him to Call Conference.
