Representatives of peace, religious and church organisations appeared before the House of Eepresentatives’ Naval Committee and opposed the suggested naval programme as a “ menace to world peace.” Members of tlio deputation declared iliat the agitation for a liugo navy was creating distrust of tlio United States among tbo other nations, particularly Britain and Japan,, which might end in war if the programme were carried out.
