Navy Bill Debate Pushes Four to Six Battleships
Washington March 27 The House spent three hours on the naval bill, debating whether to authorize six battleships instead of four. Rep Hanley of Indiana urged six, arguing for national policy and Britain’s aggressions, while Rep Johnson of California supported six but others cautioned about treasury limits.
