It is well-known that 51 r Coolidge is strongly opposed to anything in the nature of “competitive’’ building, and lie may naturally l:o supposed to share the conviction of the Now York “World" that Mr Wilbur's now naval programme is a direct challenge to Britain which she cannot afford to ignore. But the Naval Affairs Committee of the Jlon.se of Representafives does not intend to defer to the President’s wishes.
