General Bliss salid also that the United States should comlelte her present naval building lirogram. In this connection -the committee received from Secretary Danie'is a full state men-t as to the relative naval strength of the world piowers showilng that of the United States to be now idway between that or Great 'Britain and JIapan. Hls fligures indlientedl, however, that with the comnpletion of the pres.. ont authorized cons-truction of the three nations, the American capital ships would be tis groat as that of Great flritain hu-t with the ration over Japan slightly reduced.
