Efforts Pledged to Cut Defense Cash in 1930s Debate
In Washington, Senator Frazier pledged to trim a one billion dollar defense appropriation described as excessive. He criticized the army and navy as insufficient and floated a constitutional amendment to bar U S involvement in war or military spending. Chairman Sheppard supported the proposed funding as adequate for current needs. Reps Snyder and Phillips introduced bills to bar Americans from serving in any military except the U S, with loss of citizenship for violations. The move followed actions by American aviators in the Italo Ethiopian and Spanish conflicts.
