Mr Britten, Chairman of the House Naval Affairs Committee, has issued a statement praising President Coolidge if or signing the Cruiser Bill, and asserting that the naval construction programme adopted by Britain is a “ distinct menace to the balance of the world power.” Mr Britten also asserted that the accepted principles of the Washington Conference had been violated by each of its signatories, excepting the United States, thus leaving the American Navy far behind the 5-5-3 ratio. The statement added; “The President knows better than anyone else that tho Geneva Conference 'for the further limiting of the ships of war, failed because our representatives would not agree to limit our navy to I,lie kind of ships host adapted for British uses.”
