Stark Admonishes Navy Expansion Amid Crisis Debate
Admiral Harold R. Stark told the House naval committee the proposed 1.3 billion dollar fleet expansion would provide some protection against a potential coalition of Japan, Russia, Germany and Italy but might not defend Monroe Doctrine interests or home waters. He warned of the risk of Allied defeat and the need to assess anti Americas power if the navy is too small. The panel also considered a 267 million dollar deficiency appropriation framed as a peace program for neutrality patrols and armed forces training, while Rep. Taber attacked federal debt levels.
