AMERICAN FORCES.
NYE PLAN OPPOSED. Received February 24, 8.5 a.m. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. The Associated Press Washington correspondent states that the Navy has decided to oppose the plan of Senator G. P. Nye, of introducing legislation requiring the Government to manufacture all its own warships, guns, explosives, gas, and armour plate, but to leave aircraft construction in private hands on two grounds. First, its confidence that the Department of Labour can negotiate a compromise and eliminate the steel industry’s opposition to the Walsh-Healey Act in a few weeks, and, second, that the preference for obtaining steel even in foreign markets, which has rather increased since the resumption of operations, has proved unsatisfactory in the past.
