UNCLE SAM’S PRUNING HOOK.
CUTTING DOWN THE NAVAL FORCE. Received March 28, 9.30 p.m. WASHINGTON, March 27. The House of Representatives’ naval sub-committee cut down the naval force to 65,000 seamen and 19,500 marines. Should Congress accept these reductions, they will necessarily mean throwing out of commission many workshops, making America’s effective navy inferior to Britain’s and Japan’s, and destroying the five-five-three ratio. A correspondent of the New York Times states that there is every prospect that Congress will adopt the reductions.
