RE-ARMAMENT
AMERICAN NAVY BILL
PUBLIC OPINION CHANGED
BUILDING SUPPORTED
United Preu Association—Bj Elactrle Tel* erapb—Copyright. (Received January 26j 2 p.m.) WASHINGTON, January 25. The Vinson Naval Construction Bill, carrying appropriations of 470,000,000 dollars and designed to -bring the American navy to full treaty strength through the construction of. over 100 vessels, progressed ' rapidly through Congress today. The House will probably vote tomorrow under the special rule. Observers consider that Presidential support, added to the unrest in the Far East, with Japan preparing to ask for parity with America and Britain in 1935, ensures enactment of the Bill. As showing tho rapid change of American public opinion, it is pointed out1 here that a year ago the Navy League, the leading proponents of tho big navy, advocated a compromise programme, fearing that the public and Congress would not accept a vast building programme.: Now. Congress is rushing to exceed the league's greatest demands. . ' !
