REPLACING CRUISERS
U.S. NAVAL PROGRAMME MR. BRITTEN’S PREDICTION By Cable.—Press Association, — Copyright. WASHINGTON, Sunday. Mr. F. A. Britten, Republican member of the House of Representatives for Chicago, predicts that the Naval Committee of the House will agree
to a replacement building programme. He says the Bill to be introduced will probably provide for 25 cruisers to replace 22 obsolete ships, five air-craft-carriers and 35 submarines, all to be completed by 1936. The pro- : gramme before the committee is al- ! most entirely one of replacement. Mr. Britten says be considers Amer- : ica’s annual deep-sea commerce fully ! justifies the precautions which this programme will provide. The Bill will not provide for destroyer leaders, i but the Navy Department later may j ask for an appropriation for nine ves- I sels of that type.—A. and N.Z. j
