Isolationists Threaten Fight Over Naval Bill
In Washington on February 9 isolationist lawmakers from both parties pressed to block or modify the 400 million naval bill until the administration clarifies foreign policy on collective security. They argued the Navy funding implies future overseas deployments despite Secretary Hull’s assertions the U S has no alliance or oral understandings with any foreign power. Senators Nye Vandenberg and Nyerk urged restatement of policy while La Follette urged funds be redirected to domestic needs. The foreign relations panel and leaders Barley and Pittman weighed Hull’s statement as clarifying questions lingered about alliances and potential entanglements.

Would Issue Bonds For New State Buildings

Legislation would require the next decade’s appropriations to cover rent and debt service in addition to normal operating budgets.
