Of the Nation. In this connection
he mentioned three things which
he believed should be done. First
military planes should be equipped
with non-leak gas tanks. Second
armor plate should be installed or
bombing planes to protect the men
who drop the bombs. Third. heavier
caliber guns should be placed In
the military planes.
Nye Backs Air Defense.
Senator Adams indicated, like
Senator McNary. he believed thai
national defense requests would b<
granted by his committee and BY
Congress. Senator Capper Of Kan.
sas, Republican, took much the same
position.
Senator Nye of North Dakota
while he would not agree there wa
need for national defense increases
to the point which has been dis.
cussed, said he would go along with
plans for Strengthening the ali
forces.
WED be wiser to forget these bic
programs that cost millions of dol.
lars and take several years to com.
plete," he said. I'VE could much
better throw the money into an ali
program. If we are going to stay
home and do Our fighting only when
attacked, We can provide for oui
defense at much less cost by build
ing up the air arm"
Roosevelt Talk Approved.
Chairman Byrnes of the appropri.
ations subcommittee dealing with
naval appropriations, said he had
no doubt an appropriation Of 5000,
600 would be voted to modernize the
battleships New York, Texas and
Arkansas. With the expenditure Of
this money, he said, these ships
could be given the same range a.
the more modern battleships, a very
essential matter.
Senator Byrnes expressed the
opinion that the money appropriated
for naval construction should be
used to bring to quick completion
the war vessels already under con.
Struction.
While the legislators said Con-
gress would rally quickly to demands
for additional defense appropria-
tions, they insisted that the over
whelming sentiment both in Con-
gress and In the country was against
the involvement of the United States
in the European War.
Approval for President Roosevelt's
speech to the Pan-American scien-
fists Friday night, in which he said
the Americas would defend them
selves against any attack the totali-
tartan governments might make, was
general.
