BRITAIN’S NAVY
i AMERICAN VIEW. United Press Association -By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). NEW YORK, July 28. Representative Britten, Chairman of the House Naval Affairs Committee, prior to leaving for Europe stated that the two cruisers, the construction of which Mr MacDonald . had ordered to ibe suspended, . were merely mythical ships intended only by far sighted British diplomacy for trading purposes and “we have grabbed the ‘bait.’ He insisted that Mr Hoover had no right to suspend cruiser construction under the present circumstances, and stated: “1 am sure no one will say we are yet in agreement with Britain. On the contrary we are very far from it.’’ He maintained that England had no intention of building cruisers, the construction of which had been suspended ‘as in the Washington Conference, we have beer\ the goat and British diplomacy is laughing up its sleeve.”
