Secretary of Navy is Eager for Great Navy and Kuge Naval Bases on West Coast. BT WIIM4M PHttrP SIM" fSTAf F CORRESPONDENT I. M. SEKVICI . WASHINGTON April S A near grow, ing fear that perhaps all the horror of another, and perhaps atill mor disastrous world war A not beyond th range of future possibilittea, lies bo hind all the plans for the rcodera military machine now being devuel for the United States. UMi:i.S I.HANGES 4TTntT)B Dis&illusionment, rather than th "menace" of Japan which Secretary of the Navy Josepltus Dan eis denied aa invoked before the senate committss on naval affairs yesterday, ia adrnittadly tehind his advocacy of "prepaje4I'.tM," It also prompted his request for immediate action in the mattr ft the development of submarine bases aions the California coast and Thjget Sound and tha liuj naval base at iian Francisco. Llkewisn it -was taa inspiration for his general "big navai' policy. ?A!s HE' I.EARfF.I) A IOT. "1 have learned a lot during the s-ar he is etjoted as havins told the housa na val affairs committee. "I used to think cf the people of larpe nations would not pumit a, sreat wr X ttaa ii.ii' taken.' Hcspite the secretary's denial that h warned the senate committee of i. he power cf the Japan navy, sutingr the Japanese question, had come tip only in a genera! way during a d.scusbion of the relative sizes cf Ihm navies of the world, interest is attached to the mere fact that he :s leaving no totone unturned to 4C'.;:ev bis purpose YVOnXO IS lAglTTLFO "In the unsettled condition of tUs world today." he raid before a congressional committee on Mrch S. "our navy must be pr:pj.rcd for any emergency." He added later on t'.iat either every nation must einer into ajrtrment to preserve the peace of the world without competitive navy bulling "or 1 must have comparatively the bigjest navy in the world. "The latest comparative figures or the navies of the great powers obtain ab!? at the navy department are dated July 1, 1313. less than ten months a,o. EfiliaD IE.4UJ IN TO 4i;E These showed Great Britain to far ia the lead in warship tin?a:r On that date she had 2,652.130 tons of fig-ht ing- craft as against 1 157,33 tons belonging to the United States.

The Japanese tonnage is but lis f that of t't" V. S. but naval crlti point out. Cue C S. in the evjnt of war, would be compelled to divide h-r fleejs for use both in toe Atlantic, and the Pacific oc?ans.
