?Ffra The Tribuna l?.?ir?ao ]
Washington, Dec. 22. Ciitleiaar. of
-ecretary Daniels and hi? policy of
suppressing the naval experts' opinions
on Amerlean needs, revived with full
tere* to-night following the maklrg
public of the annual report of tha Gen?
eral Board of the navy.
Attacks on the Secretary along this
line ceased after the announcement
that this report would be published, as
it was supposed that it would, a.? usual,
contain the statement of policy and the
building programme approved by the
board. The published report shows,
however, that these things were con?
tained in a special report, dated July
?SO, and not made public, while the "an?
nual report? now given out has only
tw<^ sentences, quoted from the sup?
pressed document, on general policy,
and outline? a building programme un?
der the specino limitation that it shall
not cost more than $l?o,rw>fl,iMii) a year.
Criticisms from the men who are
seeking a firm and Intelligent basis for
the defence plan?, and who believe the
view? of the experta essential to such
a basis, take four main grounds:
That the material submitted fail? ta
state the policy on which a building
programme nhould be based, except in
the moit general and vague terms, and
that none of the considerations enter?
ing into th? formulation of an ade?
quate policy is touched upon.
That, admitting that it might be un?
wise to make public confidential infor?
mation as to American foreign rela?
tions, such us might be included in
??lieh a statement, the building pro
; ramme deemed necessary by the naval
( xperts to meet these needs should
ilso be suppressed.
Programme Doesn't Meet Policy.
That the only programme ar'
sabasitted that under the $100,00
a year limitation fr.
meeting the one statement of policy
?,'iv?*ii by the board, which is that the
1'nited Slates navy ought by li'J.'. I
bs "Kiual to the most powerful main?
tained by any other nation of the
world." It is pointed out that ander
the programme submitted by Mr. Dai
icls the Unite. States actually will be
building capital ships mo-e slowly
than Japan, and far more slowly that?
had been the practice before the war
of any of th?- greater power?. The
Daniels programme, it ii declared, in

I I
there is ? great speeding up in con
Otro? records.
? In the change- Mr. Maine. ?
niaile from the General H?'ar?l plan he
lolayed by ?i year the completion
of the programme, cut down the allow
1 anca for aviation and fleet auxllii l ? ?
; redueed the demand" for mere;
pensonne!. and, apparently for politi- I
cal purposes, gone far beyond the
board In providing submarines.
To these charge- the ???Iministration
and its friends reply that the views
of naval expert? are not conclusive, |
that t SCted to tak?- ?
?'?<?' fuctor
than their latent ? of nava1
glory, and that it is the duty of the
executive to sift ?'id pess on their I
plang and to recommend to Congress j
and the nation such as he approves.
Mr. Daniels explains that the board
di'l not insist on the publication of ;
the July M report.
"I asked them whether the five-year j
programma was the report they wanted j
published and ?aid it was," the Seere
tary declared. "The General Hoard
submits many reports during the year
and it is manifest!'; impossible to pub?
lish them all. In the natter of SOloC?
? | merely followed their
wishes."
To this it Is answered that the Gen?
eral Board Is quite likely to have been
willing to accept the Secretary'? sug
foetioaa as to publication, and that,
whether this was the case or not the
public has a right to some solid bnsi?
for consideration of defence plan?
as would be afforded by their opinion
and recommendatii.n.
Congress Lacks Information.
This lack of any basis for the d
slon of defence plans is the tir-'
most serious of the difficulties confront
? | i ?ingress in its attempt to frame
wise legislation, and the withholding
of It Is the m."** serums of I
?gainst Mr. Daniels and the administra?
tion.
The statement of the board that tho
United States navy should be "equal to
that of any other nation" is considered
extravagant on its face, but so vagUC
?hat, standing alone, it really means
nothing as a basis for dlseusalon. It is
pointed out that if Great Hritain and
Germany continue building Bl the rate
they have maintained to date they will
have, reap ely, eighty-nine and fifty
dreadnoughts and battle cruisers
thirty-three for the
United Statee under the Daniels plan.
To build at a rate which would over?
take England is believed beyond the
prooent power of the United States, and
it is not thought the board CBB have
meant this.
On the other hand, the present plans
contemplate a navy which would not
bo at all equal to Germany's, and which
:.il* s little troagoi ?
Japan's, in view of the demonstratio i
m trie naval battles of the present war
that even ? rity insures
the destruction of the weaker fleet, the
critics do i that the board

which would be unable to meet either
Germany or Japan in battle.
It has lei . ?? policy of tl ?
T nited States to consider that there
was no danger of ben.g ?all.-d on t"
