Experts defend naval pact in two hearings
Washington May 14. The London naval treaty was defended in a double hearing before two Senate committees by Secretary of State Stimson, Secretary of Navy Adams, and Admiral William V. Pratt. Adams said the program contemplates a billion dollars in U S navy spending by 1936 and that parity with Britain and a fair relation with Japan would result. Pratt called the pact satisfactory for combat strength and endorsed six and eight inch cruiser division. Stimson said the delegation sought a new 36000 ton battleship as a trading point but faced sharp questioning over perceived paper parity.
