BY TEIjKGKAI*H-—PJIKBS ASSN., COPYRIGHT. hkuter’s telegrams. NEW YORK, Feb. 3. The Navy General Board recently furnished a report to Mr Daniels who transmitted it to the Naval Committee as follows—“We reiterate our belief in battleships forming the-, principal unit of the fleet. Without them United States cannot hope to compete with the existing navies. We urge that equality in power lie continued as the policy of United States. There is no thought of instituting International competition- in building programmes. No other nation can reasonably take exception to such a position. Our guiding policy since 1993 was the eventual creation of a Navy equal to the strongest in the world. We urge there will he no rest or limitation of armaments that would modify the great programme of 191(5. In the future, we shall, in all probability, have to rely solely on our state of preparedness. Britain’s cessation of building is due to the great preponderance o flier and the present economic situation of that Empire.
