BRITISH PRESS
DENOUNCED IN U.S.A. (By Telegraph—Press Association). WASHINGTON, February 8. Word from London stating that the British cruiser construction programme would be carried out as scheduled was followed here to-day by a denunciation of the British press by Chairman Britten in the U.S.A. House of Representatives Naval Committee. Chairman Britten accused the British press of circulating false reports at the time that the U.S. Congress was considering the Naval Bill. Mr Britten said that during the past six years, whenever the United States Congress ,was considering Navy increases, it had been customary for the British press to broadcast reports that the intention of Britain was to slow up her naval building programme. These announcements, lie added, bad been taken seriously by the pacifists and by European patriots.
