before proceeding with the expendi-
ture of money already appropriated
1.-THE President, the Secretary OF
State and the Secretary of the
Navy have made a serious mis-
take" Britten said. THE last
Congress, which appropriated this
money. expressed the will of the
people and it is unwise and un-
necessary to wait for a new Con-
gress for a further expression. The
American battle fleets were reduced
by the armament conference and
we should seize every opportunity
to make them as effective as pos
sible.'
Aircraft Guns Needed.
Britten considers that American
warships cannot be considered in
their highest state of efficiency un.
less they are equipped with anti
aircraft guns and other new arma-
ment. and holds that such improve
nlents would not be a violation OF
the Washington naval limitation
treaty.
1t was pointed out by Britten and
other big navy men in Congress
that the American navy is deficient
in anti-aircraft weapons, while
rapid progress in this direction is
being made by Great Britain and
Japan.
AS the result of this attitude on
the part of Britten and his col
leagues, notice was served that the

don't worry"
Within a few moments the boy
had quoted the hysterical negro and
