Secretary Daniels told the House Naval Committee the United States must continue prewar naval building until its league of nations status is decided. If the Senate rejects ratification the nation should start the largest navy in the world. if it joins the league, battleship construction could end. The proposed program totals 69 vessels at about 195.4 million dollars, with a larger option if the U.S. stays out of the league. Daniels warned against inactivity during the delay and cited current unrest and ongoing construction from the 1916 program.
