FOLLOWING nearly three days Of debate the
naval appropriation bill, carrying $3o6.ooo,ooo.
= of which $oooooooo is provided for continuing
the naval building program, passed by the House
last week to the Senate .'.
Only the appeals OF Republican leaders that the
President might be embarrassed saved the bill from
amendments looking toward naval disarmament or for
suspension of the naval building program.
The sentiment Of the House was almost unanimous
in favor of disarmament but wanted to others
dssrm at the same time and reluctant disarm
this country without some pledge that foreign ma
tons would likewise reduce their ornaments.
The desire to save the $oooooooo provided for the
building program by suspendng work the construe-
ton Of battleships also seemed be pre-eminent ip
the minds of members but the pleas Of Republican
Floor Leader Mondel himself advocate Of reduction
in ornaments that any action taken along that line
might prove embarrassing to the President
cessful in whipping the overwhelming Republican
jority into line.
But for the fact that Monde1 at heart is friend
of the disarmament advocates, il is doubtful that his
pleas would have been successful, overwhelming
the sentiment for reducing armamsnt and suspend
ing operations on the building program.
Dozens of amendments we're offered bearing on
both subjects. Some were stricken out on points of
order while others voted down. .
While Mondelrs plea, believed to have come direct
from the White House, was effective with the Repub-
lcan recruits, fell deaf on the Democratic
side of the aisle.
Indeed, the Democrats were so insistent in their
efforts to obtain provision authorizing the Pres
ident to call disarmament conference of the leading
nations or to make the appropriations for the build
ing program contingent upon the failure of such
conference, that the charge made from the Re-
publican side that the minority was deliberately at
