Secretary Daniels addresses a congressional hearing on the three year navy build plan. He argues for expanding capital ships to counter submarine threats and suggests suspending naval spending if an international tribunal can peacefully resolve disputes after the peace conference. He recalls the war shifted his view to favor a global powerfully equipped navy.

He argued America must lead a world police force if a league of nations is formed and that the navy must be powerful to protect small nations and free seas.
