Norris Sounds Progressives Keynote in Washington Speech
Senator George W Norris warned that electric power interests seek to control both major party conventions to push their viewpoint while a sham issue diverts attention. He decried the influence of wealth in elections and urged reform, noting a coalition of independents pressing an economic and social program for Congress. The speech, amid a Progressive conference, framed utilities as a “gigantic trust” corrupting politics and public life.

France and Italy Limit Capital Ships Through 1936
France and Italy announce a mutual cap on capital ships at 26,333 tons with no more than two ships each by December 31, 1936. The accord allows France a proposed 23,333 ton super-cruiser and sets submarine tonnage constraints, while diverging from the London treaty terms in several points. The memorandum notes an ensuing declaration by Britain, France, Italy and possibly the U.S. and Japan, clarifying no permanent ratio is established and no precedent set for post-1936 tonnage Renewals.
