AMERICA’S NAVY
PROGRAMME AGAIN ATTACKED “WAR TALK SHEER MADNESS.” • SENATOR’S CRITICISM. )Y CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. Senator Borah has issued a statement attacking the naval programme. Referring to Admiral Plunket’s remarks he said: “These statements put out. by naval officers give notice to all the world, and particularly Britain, to get ready for war. I regard such declarations as mischievous to the last degree. ’ ’ Senator Borah then refers to similar declarations by English admirals and adds: “All this is part of a well organised plan to prepare the public mind for a naval race. A limited number of cruisers to help police our commerce can be .justified, but this programme, together with wild, excTTed statements about war are sheer madness.’’
