Rep Taylor backs naval spending while urging peace
Cole noted low enthusiasm for the idea as Representative Taylor predicted Congress would appropriate any naval funds the president requests. He said we want peace but are prepared to strike hard if attacked. Reports say 1939 budget estimates may raise naval appropriations by 50 million dollars from the 518 million current total. The U S fleet is now second only to Britain. England favors a small two seater private plane that gets about 20 miles per gallon.
