Labor Insists On Bigger Navy
The AFL metal trades department adopted a resolution urging the navy to be built to treaty strength and maintained. Delegates representing about 700,000 workers said $238,000 of public works funds for new ships is insufficient to reach treaty maximums and warned the London pact’s expiry in 1936 will leave the fleet well below the limit. The resolution calls for an adequate navy as the first line of defense and a strong argument at future peace conferences.
