Republicans Approve Most Defense Plan Amid Debate
In Washington on February 10, Secretary Morgenthau signaled parts of his testimony on selling American planes to France could be held back while keeping the treasury's role clear. Republicans backed most of the administration's defense program, opposing only broader Pacific defenses and a rapid upturn to 5,500 Army Air Corps planes, preferring a slower pace. Congress plans to take up the Air Corps expansion and naval air base funding next week as committees stay busy amid a weekend recess.
