FIGHTER PLANES
VITAL PART OF NAVAL, FORCE. PROPOSALS IN UNITED STATES. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, June 20.

Senator Gillette said he was hopeful that immediate attention would be given to supplementing carrier strength by combining units for offence and defence as air complements in all warships large enough to accommodate them.
