wants british navy would take battleships and cruisers to pay war debts ESPECIALLY H.M.S. HOOD
— By Telegraph — Copyright.)
Rec. Oct. 12, 10.10 p.m. WASHINGTON, Sunday. "What is wrong with bringing a number of British warships to the United States in exchange far war debt payments?" The sponsors of this plan are not named, but the story is being freely published and discussed here. "Uncle- Sam," it is said can use about 100,000 tons of late model cruisers and battleships, for which he might give credit for £30,000,000 to £50,000,000. It is suggested that this would enable the U.S.A. to attain an early tonnage parity with Great Britain. Especially would the U.S.A. like to have the battle cruiser "Hood."
