(Received February 15, at 11 a.m.) President Coolidge indirectly advised the House Naval Committee that he would be satisfied with a considerable reduction in the proposed naval programme. The committee was informed that the President would insist only upon the twenty-five new 10,000-ton cruisers proposed, and was willing to drop the rest of the programme as a concession to the numerous protests. The twenty-five cruisers would cost approximately 400,000,000 dollars.
