Navy Battle Lines Form Over $2.5 Billion Naval Build Plan
Secretary Wilbur’s proposed naval program faces strong opposition led by Rep. James V. McClintic of Oklahoma. He argues the plan overemphasizes surface ships, favors a large cruiser fleet, and ignores modern weapons like aircraft and submarines. McClintic contends flood relief and agriculture must take priority, and the US should pursue a more economical defense. He doubts Geneva failure justifies bipartisan navy expansion and urges detailed analysis before action.
