Washington. Deo. 18. Secretary
of the Navy Daniela sprang quite a
surprise on the Republican domi
nated house naval affairs committee
on Tuesday Then he asked to have
incorporated in the record of the
hearing Presidentelect Harding's
speech on naval expansion, delivered
recently at Norfolk, Va., navy yard.
"I am entirely in accord with Sena
tor Hardlnz's speech." asserted Daniels.
"He has (riven emphatic approval," he
added, with, a smile, "to the pyesent sec
retary of the navy." '
"Do you Indorse all his speeches?"
Chairman Butler of Pennsylvania, a
Quaker but father of a fifhting marine
brigadier, general, inquired.
"No," Daniels replied with a grin,
"and now -that he's been elected I don't
believe -.he indorses them all himself."
"But you know," .Butler persisted.
"Senator Harding- was surrounded by
an awful lot of gold lace at that meet
ing In Norfolk. That makes an awful
lot of difference when a man is talking
about the navy. It'i contagious."
"I know it is," Daniels replied, grin
ning. -
Daniels. In the main, followed the
lines of his annual report, made public
Monday.
"I take it you're waiting for a re
turn to normalcy'," suggested "Chair
men Butler.. ''
"It can't come any too soon to suit
me," Daniels retorted.
"Do you -think the financial situation
of the country will be less tense a year
from now?" Representative Pagett asked
him.
"I've quit prophesying," Daolels shot
back, smiling. "My plans do not con
template my being back here next De
cember. But it Will be a very interest
lngr meeting' foul1 years hence when I
come back, and I trust that all the mem
bers of this committee will be here, too."

. .usnieis arew a laugn wnen, in plead
ing for the establishment of a separate
chaplain's bureau In the navy, he re
marked, "They are looked over when
. they apply for appointment by Chaplain
Frailer, who hears them preach, and
then I examine them In theology."
"I gather then," Interjected Butler,
"that Chaplain Fraeler is your official
taster!"
"Got any Quaker chaplains?" Padgett
put In.
"I trust so," Daniels replied solemnly.
"But if. we haven't I will contract to
in."
"They've got "em In the League of
'Nations," Butler ruminated.
Daniels7 said he hadn't recommended
a new three-year building program he
cause of the financial condition of the
country and the uncertainty of our re
lations with other powers. The, com
mittee should, he advised, certainly au
thorize a few small craft to round out
the programs now being worked on.
