Naval bill clears Senate amid clash over disarmament plan
The Senate approved a naval appropriation of 494 million dollars, setting up a likely conference fight with the House over a 98 million dollar increase and the Borah amendment calling for a U.S. naval disarmament conference with Britain and Japan. The vote was 54 to 17, with party lines and splits over budget boosts and disarmament terms. The measure also preserves funds for a 120,000 enlisted force and continues 1918 drydock and dredging appropriations at Charleston Navy Yard. The article notes a foreign waterfall claim about Brazil as a non sequitur.
