BIG NAVAL BUDGET
UNITED STATES RECORD APPROVAL SOUGHT (Reed. Oct. 13, 9 a.m.) NEW YORK, Oct. 12. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times says that the 1941 naval budget, which has been submitted to the budget bureau for approval, may exceed £180,000,000, certainly the lai-gest in the peacetime history of the United States. It is reliably reported that it includes £70,000,000 for the construction of new ships, probably two 45,000ton battleships, four to eight new type cruisers and at least eight destroyers and eight submarines.
