La Follette Attacks Naval Bill Delays Morgan Plan Critique
Senator La Follette again delayed the naval bill by attacking the Morgan and Standard Oil influence cited as driving a larger navy. The Senate defeated an amendment to bar navy use for private debts or enforcing citizen or corporate claims, and a Norris substitute was also defeated. He warned that the naval program could create a navy bigger than England’s in ten years and pressed for broader taxation to fund the plan.
