Anion some of the Republicans, how

to pee. Senator Simmons, would result in
further defections from the administra

uflicienl to secure acceptance ot the
Republican reservations.
Tho compromise nrnpusuls Senator

ADDS. TO. BUILDING PROGRAM
Washington. March 0. (n.v A. p.)
Secretary Danlelds told the ltoue
naval committee today he would reeom
ment a naval building program for the
next flncnl jear Inrger than that pro
posed by the general board "If the
peace treaty Is not ratified at this pes
slon of Congress.'' Withholding final
recommendation, however, the secre
tary added that if this country in the
end rclected membership in the League
of Nntlons. he would feel Impelled to
renew his recoiuiiiendntlon for unothcr
threc-car program of construction. '
League or Hlggcst Navy
Reiterating his statement of last jinr i
that "e must have n League ot Nil
tlons by which every nation will help I
preserve the peace of the sor1il without
competitive naval building, or We must
have incomparably the biggest navy hi
the world." Daniels declared there ".ns
no "middle ground."
"If the covenant had been rntlflcd."
Daniels said, "our duty would bne
been pluln. With the league In opera
tion, composed at first of all the na
tions allied or associated In the world i
war, nnd with provision for admittance!
of all other nations, opposed to con
quest and militarism. It would not bd
necessary to Impose on the tnvpujera of
America the assessments necessary for
building more capital ships." i
The program which the secretary rce-
nmmeuileil uo nutnorizcti in event tne
treaty Is not ratified agreed with the
general board's proposal as to capital
ships two battleships und one battle
cruiser bat added to that proposal
twenty light cruisers and fourteen flo
tilla ieaders or supcr-destrojers. No
light cruisers und only six super-do-Btroers
were recommended by the
board. .
It had been his intention if the peace
treaty were ratified "with the possi
bility of armaments being curtailed und
regulated," the secretary declared, to
recommend definitely only such a "mod
erate" building program necessary to
"round out the fleet." No cnpital ships
would have been included in this pro
gram, lie added, but in the "unsettled
condition of the world today," lie de
clared, the American navy "must be
prepared for auy emergency.
Most Powerful Ships
Secretary Daniels emphasized the
fleet's deficiency In llglit cruisers nun
other secondary craft, as demonstrated
by war lessons. The present battleship
.strength, he pointed out, would soon be
increased by the ten dradnonghts now
building, "more powerful than any
battleships afloat," in nddltlon to the
six buttle cruisers under construction,
necessitating more auxiliary craft.
Destrovers and other anti-submarine
craft construction during the war.
Daniels said, had taxed facilities and
prevented balanced additions to the

I would call the attention of Council
to the necessity .for the bridge, nnd
would urge Immediate action.
"I did this in my inaugural message,
nnd in n personally delivered message to
Council. Council then passed a resolu
tion nsklng the bridge commission, of
which the Governor is president, for nn
estimate of cost.
Suggested City Estimate of Cost
"Then the so-called delay started..
I suggested to the Governor that the
cltv mlcht facilitate matters by fur
nishing nn estimate of cost imdc by
Chief Webster, of the bureau of sur
veys, nnd other engineers who have been
co-operating with him.
"I nskid Mr. Webster to include su
perstructure costs as well as land
damagc costs, nnd the estimate he sub
mitted showed the total cose of the
bridge and the property taken would
be about .$40,000,000. and that the
Philadelphia cost would be about $10,
000.000. "On February 24. I submitted Mr.
Webster's data to the Governor.
"Therefore, if the ordinary relations
in comity and procedure are to nrcvnil.
it is up to the Governor to call the
nridge commission to act upon tne reso
lution of the Philadelnhin Council, and
submit sucn lntormntion as nas been
requested.
If the Governor has been criticizing
me for detay, I am sure has done so
under a misapprehension.
"The Mayor is unqualifiedly for a
bridge, and is delaying nothing that will
contributo to its early beginning, but he
does no: believe it unreasonable that
Council should have the information
it asks for in view of the jrrent finan
cial obligation to be incurred by the
city, and ho does not, as .Mayor, propose
that any other authority shall unduly
influence bun to put the citj in a finan
cial hole, without the facts being tlior
nughl, understood.
"This city is now suffering from
waste and extruvuganoe and duplication
oi effort due to unnecessary and ill-considered
legislation that comes down from
Ilnrrisbu.-g and hamstrings it at almost
every turn, and the city cannot proceed
too cnutiousl, in a matter of such greut
importance us a bridge."

GOVERNOR "WET," HE SAYS
Judge Honnlwell. Hounding the "kcj

Governor Sproul, whom (he character
ized as iwlitleiii "Siamese twins."
"Demagogue,-' "enemy of frr' I
speech" and "miloerat" were some or
the epithets applied to Palmer in a
speech which .Tudge Honnlwell rend from
manuscript.
After he seemingly had exhausted his
voctibiilurj on Palmer, ho discarded his
set speech xi ltd mllnl Into the Governor.
"I charge deliberately," he said.
