Britten Urges the Sale
of Two U. S. Warships
for Economic Reasons

In statement issued by Representative
Britten of Chicago, republican member
OF the House naval affairs committee,
business reasons for the sale to Greece
Of the battleships Mississippi and Idaho
are given. Mr.. Britten also states that
there is no question that Greece wants
the ships to prevent Turkey from send
Ing troops across the sea from Asiatic
Turkey in case Of war between the two
countries.
IF members Of Congress will treat the
sale Of these ships from a purely eco
nomtc standpoint they will Immediately
decide that an increase in our navy Of
more than 100 per cent as far as these
two ships are concerned can be effected
without the expenditure OF one dollar by
our government, and, while the vote on
the question will be close, look to see
the small navy men routed by approx
mately the same majority as occurred on
the recent vote for a two-battleship pro-
gram" said Mr.. Britten.
