A. June 22. a president Roosevelt it was Learned tonight is giving most serious consideration to the possibility that both the British and French fleets May fall into the hands of Germany and thus Force the United states to double its fighting fleets to match the sea Power of Tho totalitarian nations. Naval experts it was Learned have handed or. Roosevelt memoranda showing that America s first line of defense would he tremendously outweighed in the Atlantic by totalitarian Battle fleets should Germany and Italy defeat Britain As Well As Fiance and gain Possession of British sea units. Or. Roosevelt studied the memoranda while Germany and Italy in dictating terms of an armistice to War crushed France sought to insure Transfer to them of the highly effective French n a v a whereabouts of which is not known Here. Considering All possible future phases of the defense of the United states and the Western hemisphere or Roosevelt it was Learned is studying the possibility that events in the relatively near future May create a situation where National safety would Force this country to order naval expansion even above the $4,000,000.-000 plan to increase the Fleet s tonnage by to per sent. That authorization Bill. Approved last week try the House naval affairs committee has passed the House.
