AMERICA'S NAVY
BIG MANNING REDUCTION
ADOPTION WIIJ. REDUCE THE FLEET.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPTIUGHT.)
WASHINGTON, 27th March.
The House oi Representatives' Naval Sub-Committee cut down the naval force to 65,000 seamen and 19,500 marines. Should Congress accept these reductions, they will necessarily mean the throwing out' of commission of many warships, making America's effective Navy inferior to Britain's and Japan's, and destroying the five-five-three ratio. The correspondent of the New York Times sfctes that there is every prospect that Coujresk will adopt the reductions. '\
