very extensive development of h.ir-
bor and repair facilities at Hawaii.
In all. the report declared, projects
that ultimately will reach a cost of
about $160,000,000 are urgently
needed for the Pacific roast proper.
Characterizing Hawaii as

.Mr. Daniels recommends the crea
tion there of'a fleet-operating base
capable of accommodating the en
tire American navy with all auxil
iaries.
Facilities tor a fleet of a
thousand v««ssels could be developed
at Hawaii, the report asserts, adding
that "the strategic location of Ha
waii Is* realized. Its possibilities have
heen carefully studied and set forth
by naval experts and its development
on a broad scale as a fleet operating
base cannot be too strongly recom
mended."
Despite "sporadic criticism" In
this country and abroad of the com
pletion of capital ships authorized
before the war. the battleship re
mains the "backbone" of the fleet.
Secretary Daniels declares. The war
proved that the time has not come
for the abandonment of capital
shiiMi, he says, and in support of his
declaration he points out that re-
cent British building programs have
Included funds for dreadnaughts and
battle cruisers and that Japan "has
layed down five capital ships since
the armistice and it is understood
that eight others are projected for
the near future.”
