in the budget made by various
House committees have come
close to the .$300,000,000 point.
Whether or not those in fav

resist the pressure in favor of

Federal Treasury is now an in
teresting matter for speculation.
By the time this is read, Con
gress will probably have got
around to considering the Naval
Expansion Bill, with its proposed
$653,000,000 appropriation. Up
until recently it seemed almost
a certainty that this measure
would go through without a
hitch, and that the fleet would
be given all it asked. As the'
polls show, sentiment in this
country for building a defense
structure of unprecedented
peace-time strength is extreme
ly strong. The American people,
looking nervously at unpredict
able Europe, are apparently ea
ger to possess a navy that is
more than adequate to defeat
any conceivable invader or com
bination of invaders. At the
fsame time, a certain amount of
doubt has arised as to whether
the proposed bill is completely
necessary
