DANIELS DENIES GIVING
FACTS ABOUT NAVY TO
GERMANY AND RUSSIA
.., ,. . .
Secretary, Agrlin Under Grilling
Examination, Says Ho Knows
Nothing of Betrayal
of Secrets
DEPENDS DEPARTMENT
tin a Staff Correspondent
VrASHlUaroK April 3. Criticism
was heaped on Secretary of the Navy
Daniels by Republican members of the
House Navill Affairs Committee today be
cause of Unprecedented delays In tho'con
structlon of war vobsoIs, authorized by
Congress. AcHocates of a "blf? nay," In
a grilling examination nccused the depart
ment of having furnished specifications
and Intlmato details of U-lnch guns,
ttrmor strength and other offensive nnd
defensive parts of the United States Navy
to other Governments, the Krupp ord
nanco factories In Germany being spcclfl
cally designated as teclptcnts of such
favors.
'"Do you recognize" Secretary DanleW
was asked by Representative Written of
Illinois, "that unless President Wilson Is
re-elected and you aro reappointed Secre
tary of tho Navy, not a single vciset
authorized during your administration v. HI
be put In commission during Its exlst
enco7" "I don't recognize nnythlng of the
sort." said tho Secretary
"You have not even placed a submarine
In commission that has been nuthorlzed
during the present Administration," said
Britten.
Representative Butler, of Pennsylva
nia, said that If he wcro Secretary of
the Navy ho would see that tho ships al
ready authorized woro built without
further delay regardless of cost, but Sec
retary Daniels said ho did not think "con
ditions aro sufficiently emergent" to war
rant art order to private yards to put
nsldo the contracts they now havo In
order to begin work on war vessels.
Secretary Daniels was asked by Rep
resentative Butler whether ho thought wo
should have tho second navy In tho
world. "I think," ho added, while Repub
lican members of tho committee ap
plauded, "we should havo the second
navy In tho world within tho next three
years."
"I do not think wo can or ought to flg
uro on any particular nation's strength
In lajing out our policy," Secretary Dan
iels said. "I do not bollovo this Con
gress should tax tho people this joar to
make up all the deficiencies of 20 years.
We ought to 'lay out u strong program
and build to that.
"I think this ought to nuthorlzo tho big
gest program ever undertaker- More than
that. It ought to nt out ou? navy yards
for tho building of ships j! don't think
conditions aro so emergent that we should
tell prlvato builders they must lay nslde
other work."
Would It sumrlso lou to know that the
greatest naval authorities placo us fourth
In 1025?" Mr. Butler aBkod The Secre
tary replied that such a statement could
be speculation only.
"Do jou remember having turned over
to tho Russian Government the designs
and specifications of our 14-lnch guns,
armor and other naval effects during your
administration?" Butler asked.
"I do not," Daniels replied
"If that was done, you would say It was
wrong?" Butler asked.
"Absolutely," Daniels replied.
"Then you know nothing of the fact that
the design nnd specifications were fur
nished tho Russian Government under
your Administration?" Butler Insisted
"I know nothing of It," DanUli replied
"Will you ask Admiral Strauss for a
copy of tho letter nont to tho Krupp Com
pany In Germany, so we will know whether
the specifications oc our n-incn guns were
Iglvtn to the German Government?" Butler
1 asked.
Daniels said he would asK ior mo let-
"You would say that If the fact Is
shown that these specifications wero given
to tho Krupp people It was wrong," But
ler funtinued.
- 'Absolutely," Daniels reiterated
i Daniels urged passage or me armor
ntntn bill without amendment opposing an
amendment proposed by Butler that the
private armor manufacturers should re
ceive contracts in case they would bid a
price satisfactory to the Secretary of the
Navy.
"I know It would be a costly experi
ment," Daniels said.
"I -would not be satisfied with the
death-bed repentances of corporations that
U.v heen charring exorbitant prices "
J The Navy Department in the past has
fghut Its eyes to tne ultimate neea ot me
fluet. the Secretary said, and Instead of
putting navy yards Into conditions to
build vessels, allowed the yards to de
generate Into "mere second-class repair
shops."
