Navy Growth Emphasized in U.S. Naval Bill Hearing
Secretary Daniels told the House naval committee that unless a League of Nations limits armament, the United States must build the greatest navy. He warned that even with new programs adding dreadnoughts and escorts, America would remain second to Great Britain unless a world-wide ban on naval buildup is achieved. He affirmed the President backs the policy if competition ends. If a league is established, the U S must fund a large world police force to enforce decrees.
