U.S.A. NAVAL PROGRAMME
SENATOR’S OBJECTION. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] WASHINGTON, May 7. The Senate debated the 529 million dollars Naval Bill to-day. Senator Nye was one of the few to voice his objection to the unprecedented size of the appropriation. He sought, though unsuccessfully, to have the entire 115 million dollars figured for new construction struck from the measure. He declared: “The militarist dominion of Japan would have fallen of its own weight years ago, except for the encouragement that has been given to Japan’s military and naval leaders by the ever-mounting expenditures in America.” He said that such large appropriations were bound to affect international relations with the foreign countries wishing to know why they were being authorised by an America that was bent on peace as its official utterances would indicate.
