Naval experts press pact criticism before Senate committees
Two veterans, Rear Admirals Hillary P. Jones and Mark L. Bristol, urged against dividing cruisers into six and eight inch types in the London naval treaty debate. Jones accused Britain of aiming to curb American ship classes while seeking higher quotas for its needs. Bristol argued a naval conference was premature as the U S had built up its navy.
