"It is my firm conviction," declare* tthe secretary, "that if the conferenc : at Versailles does not result in a ger eral agreement to put an end to nava building on the part of all the na ? "tioijs, then the United States mus ^bend her will and bend her energj 'must give her man and give he money to the task of the creation o incomparably the greatest navy in th world." With the completion of the propos new three year building progran] adding ten dreadnaughts, six battl cruisers, ten scout cruisers and 13 smaller craft to the fleet, Americ; ; still will rank second in nava -strength to Great Britain, said th secretary, who appeared before th committee to make his final recora mendations for the 1920 naval bil which the committee is considering. "Does the president back the polic: n moVo 11c firct naval nnwor i l V V 111UUV Uk7 tULV A1W f U)A |/V ?* V* ij the world?" asked Representativi Kelly of Michigan. "Yes, if competitive building is t< .continue." said Mr. Daniels. "We are now easily the secon< .^aaWLl power, but this program wil - not ^aake us the first." The naval secretary said that if < league of nations is established Amer ica must provide a large part of < ' world police force necessary to en torce the league's decree.

"I would like to let the world know that wi are tremendously interestec in the president's proposition," de glared the secretary.

I [ Washington, Dec. 30.?Senator I Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of ! the military committee spoke for more I than three hours in the senate today I in criticism of the war department, ! /looliner narf-ipnlflrlv with what he ! UV/UtiAAQ w?VM*?w* | termed the failure to provide adequate hospital facilities for returned wound-1 ed soldiers and to formulate a definite I plan for demobilization. j The senator reiterated many of the J charges he made in his address at New York soon after the nation entered the war and in a subsequent ad| dress in the senate and said that in- ; j formation that had come to light I since had justified the statements he , j had made. Senator Chamberlain's | New York address brought forth a | sharp statement from President WilI son. Referring indirectly today to 11 that criticism the Oregon senator said j. that his purpose then and his purpose 11 now was to bring about an improve-1; ment in conditions. Senator Chamberlain who was 1 heard by crowded galleries, said the 1 war department now is pursuing with regard to hospital facilities the same ' diliatory tactics ft did in the prosecu- 1 don of the war many months ago. ( "If the war department," he de- 4 jclared, "paid one-half the attention to 1 | preparations for receiving these boys J as they are to getting legislation 1 through congress in order to protect contractor* who made contracts for war suppl es over t&e telephone in ! irfrtioHnn law this, matter would ' ? ?ViUV?VM *? .. y soon be settled." The need for a definite policy of demobilization was urged by the senator. who said that if one were established. unrest among the men in cantonments and overseas would cease. He praised the Brifiisli plan for returning its soldiers to civil life, saying it was framed along economic lines, Th?e senator was frequently interrupted by questions from other senators, bat there was no general debate. In concluding, Senator Chamberlain paid a tribute to the American armj covintr that nrrlv once, and ill I" LOUV&, * "f> then, by command of the French officer ia charge, had an American, unit ever given ground, before the enemy. No army in all the history of the world, he declared, had made such a 1 brilliant record.

Senator McKellar declared the American people and the allies indorse all of President Wilson's 14 peace principles and favor their incorporation in the coming peace treaty and that the opposition of the Republican leaders to some of them might do- incalculable harm. Citing also the position taken byFormer President Roosevelt on peace problems, Senator McKellar said the Republican spokesmen had presetted a campaign issue for 1920 which the Democratic party will welcome.
