DECLARES U. S. NAVYEFFICIENT Sec. Daniels Is Against Change in Organization. APPROVES BUILDINS PROGRAM Administration Is Against Inquiry Being Urged in House and Talk of Lnited States Being Unprepared For War—Representative Gardner Advocates Investigation. WASHINGTON — Smarting u» der a criticism of the navy, Secretary Daniels came to its defense. In a statement isued by the naval secretary he opiKsed any change in its organization and declared that the navy was an effective fighting force, both defensive and offensive. However, talk of the “preparedness” of the United States for war will be discouraged and investigation of the subject will be opposed by this administration. President Wilson brushed aside the question with the statement that talk of the unpreparedness of the country had befn going on since he was ten years old. Gardner Raised Question. Representative Gardner of Massachusetts recently brought the question up by offering a resolution in the house asking for an inquiry into the military condition of the country and it j preparedness for war. During the day he bYought up the question again in the house and asked Chairman Henry of the rules committee to assign two days of the present session for a hearing on this resolution. Mr. Henry refused to agree to the plan, and Mr. Gardner announced he v»ould press for a hearing immediately after congress reassembles in December. Daniels Defends U. S. Program. Secretary Daniels in his statement declared our system of government pre'ited for a civilian head of the navy. He opposed control by a military head, but explained the work done by the general board of the navy. His statement then went into the naval program of the nation since 1900. which, since then, he said, had fully recognized the importance of destroyers and submarines. It continued: “It has since 1907 consistently advocated the policy of four destroyers for each battleship: it has annually recommended additional submarines and tenders for submarines in the proportion of one tender to six sub- . marines, and tenders to destroyers in the proportion of one tender to sixteen destroyers.” Congress Authorizes Ships. Speaking of the navy’s strength in battleships and submarines, the secre- ; i tary said: j “The ultimate decision as to how ; many vessels, how many of each type i shall be provided rests with congress. i having at hand the secretary of the ■ navy’s recommendation and under- ■ ! standing the relative proportion of' such finances available for naval purposes, congress authorizes the numbers and types of vessels that in its opinion best answer the country’s needs “The submarine is a most effective I defensive weapon and has great pos--1 sibilities of marked development in ■ the future as an offensive weapon. It j is net believed, however, that subma- i rines in their present state of develop-; ment will decide any naval war, but that the paramount need of the pres-ent-cay navy is for battleships.” TAFT URGES NEEDED REFORM Favors Uniform Marriage and Divorce Laws In States. WASHINGTON, D. C. — Reform in marriage and divorce laws through uniform state legislation was urged by former President Taft in a brief ! address before the commission on uniform state laws.
