Of army and navy appropriations were
severely criticized in the senate on
Wednesday by Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, who has been appointed by
President Harding representative of

He said that when reductions in
army and navy expenditures are made
by congress. it seemed to him that it
ais wholly indefensible TO take all we
have saved and spend it on good
roads which are instruments of pros
perity and convenience. but which is
not an insurance of our safety or a
