AMERICAN NAVAL BILL
SENATORS CONFER WITH PRESIDENT. ADDITIONAL CRUISERS FAVOURED. (Rec. 11 p.m.) Washington, March 24. Senator Hale, chairman of the Senate Naval Committee, and Senator Oddie, ranking as Republican member thereof, conferred with President Coolidge to-day on the Naval Bill. Senator Hale declined to say what the attitude of the Senate would be toward the House Bill, but Senator Oddie stated that the Senate appeared to be in favour of more cruisers and additional aeroplanes and for that reason he thought the provisions of the Bill would be increased. Democrats and Independent Republicans in the Senate are reported to favour the House Bill.—A. and N.Z.
