Knox Urges Swift
Approval Of Navy
Expansion Bill
Woodrum Hopes to Have
Measure Ready for
Debate in 10 Doys
4y the Associated Press

Secretary of the Navy Knox
/ urged quick approval today of legis-
lation which would give his depart
ment another billion dollars to bring
the Nations naval strength to more
than 700 warshipS-enough for a
two-ocean navy.
Secretary Knox, appearing at the
start of closed hearings by House
appropriations subcommittee on
President Roosevelt's July 10 request
for $4,000 100000 for the Army and
Navy, surveyed the Navy's needs
generally. The Navy would get
roughly s1,000.00O, 900, the remainder
going to the War Department.
Chairman Woodrum of the sub
committee said he hoped to bring
the bill to the House for debate
within 10 days.
Meanwhile, Speake: Bankhead

that a $25 100000 bill to increase

valuable markets for them. After
many discouraging days. pressure
from other delegates brought from
the Argentines themselves the soli-
darity proposal that was so much in
line with Mr.. Hull's own ideas that
he maneuvered its adoption. with
full credit to Argentina for initiat-
ing it.
Hopes for effective action at this
meeting apparently lay in some SINH
lar development. There is general
recognition that Argentina situa-
ton is particularly delicate. Her
economy depends upon outlets in
Europe for her meat. wool and other
export products. Her officials are
skeptical of any plan of inter -Ameri-
can economic cooperation to the
degree that it would result in retalia-
tory measures against her by the
axis powers, unless the cooperative
program was assured of such prac-
teal success as to relieve her per-
manently from dependence on to-

dlf1lculties in the way of the United
States Navy offering real protection
to South American neighbors be
low the hump of the continent.
Thus. unanimity upon the type
OF action felt necessary by majori-
ty OF the Americas will depend upon
success in convincing Argentina that
the chances for successful mainte-
nance of full economic and political
independence of the hemisphere will
be better through a strong co-opera-
tive program rather than any indi-
vidual dependence upon Nazi good
will.
The strength of the program
finally adopted probably will be de-
termined by how far Argentina is
willing to go. unless the principle
OF unanimity is abandoned.

ask questions. These members in
cluded Representatives Rees, Repub-
lican, of Kansas; Leavy, Democrat,
of Washington, and O'Brien, Re-
publican, of New York.
Mr.. Rees pointed out that since
the Democratic party is in favor Of
suffrage for the District and is in
control of the administration, he
did not know of any reason why
Congress cannot go ahead and enact
legislation to give the people here
vote
Mr.. Randolph said it would be his
purpose, as speedily as possible. to
have those in charge of suffrage
legislation give it consideration. At
the same time, he declared it is sig
niticant' that Chairman Summers
of the Judiciary Committee before
which joint resolution providing
for national representation is pend
ing found himself in agreement
with voting privileges for the peo-
pie of the District"

is subject that goes to the basic
principles of this country"
Mr.. Randolph explained the plank
was inserted in the Democratic
party's platform because the party
believed those in Congress inter-
ested in suffrage would use the plank
as vehicle for arriving at a plan
to remove the shackles of disen-
franchisement.
A few moments later he said he
had observed increasing sentiment
in Congress in the last several years
for national representation for the
District-a plan that would give the
people here the right to vote for
President and Vice President and to
elect representative in the House
and Senate.
Representative Leavy interrupted
to compliment Mr.. Randolph for the
"forceful' presentation he made be-
fore the Democratic Platform Com
mittee in Chicago to have a suffrage
plank written into the platform.
He added that If the Republicans
had put a similar plank in their
platform, action on the suffrage
question would be doubly sure.
Representative Rees pointed out
if suffrage resolution is brought
before the House there would be a
vote on it. Mr.. Randolph answered
by saying he hoped Representative
Summers soon would get action by
the Judiciary Committee on the
national representation resolution so
the House could vote on it.
Representative O'Brien expressed
the opinion that number of peo-
pie born in the States and now
living in Washington would prefer
the privilege of voting here instead
of back home" and would make
a fine contribution to the operation
Of the Capital City.
IF the voting privilege is ex-
tended" said Mr. Randolph, Il am
sure they win exercise that priv
ilege with great deal OF intclii-
gence and civic interest"
Representative Randolph made
the suffrage speech instead of CALI
ing up any local legislation on the
House calendar which he described
as being of "a very highly contro-
versial nature" Today was the final
so-called District day" OF the
month.

ROME, July 22.-Premier Musso-
lini received an armored train from
Adolf Hitler today, intended to pro-
tect II Duce against air attacks
during his travels.
The train, consisting of two cars
with German crews, was presented
by Gen. Ritter Won Pohl in a formal
ceremony, during which II Duce
watched its guns shoot at air targets.
Gen. Won Pohl told Mussolini that
Hitler wished for it to protect your
life, which is precious not only to
the Italian people, but also to the
German nation"
Mussolini thanked him "for this
gift. which is another sign of the
unbreakable brotherhood of arms
which unites Germany and Italy in
peace and in war"

world in respect to their mutua
problems. despite the feeling among
some delegations that it might be
preferable to sacrificing any
strength of the program.
MI, Hull made it clear soon after
his arrival here Saturday that he
would work for unanimity in con-
ference action. Pointing out that
real solidarity of the American ma
tions rests on the principle of equal
lty. he said he always favored
unanimous action himself and that
as rule it always had been the
spirit Of Pan-American conferences
The Secretary of State was care
full. however. not to commit himself
to holding out for unanimity if ii
should develop that action consid-
cred vital by the majority of dele
gates could not win approval of all
Other delegates had the impression
he would agree to majority votes
rather than make too great sacri-
flee on fundamental issues for the
sake of unanimity.
Mr. Hull was spending all the
time he could spare from formali-
ties of the meeting in button
holing" delegates from the other
nations to talk over mutual prob
lens and proposals for action in
effective informal fashion. In this
way he hoped to create a sense of
understanding that would lead to
rapid agreement in the formal ses-
sionS.
Makes Informal Calls.
Arriving Saturday morning with
IS expert advisers and assistants
from the State. Commerce. Treasury
and Agriculture Departments, Mr.
Hull began his round of informal
calls on Latin American delegations
that afternoon and continued them
throughout yesterday. except for a
brief formal visit to President
Laredo Bru of Cuba, until the
opening ceremonies of the meet
ing yesterday afternoon.
Armed with the information
gained in these talks. in which he
said his opposite numbers" from
the foreign Offices of the other
American republics were thoroughly
realistic about the need for in
creased cooperation to overcome
damaging repercussions from Eu-
ropes war, the Secretary was pre-
pared for showdown with the
Argentine delegation arriving to-
day.
1t was not his way, however, to
give the appearance of trying to
force anything down the throats
of the Argentines or any of the
other national representatives.. He
frankly said he preferred to let
others take the leadership in offer
ing definite proposals for action.
The Hull procedure was remi-
niscent of his work at the 1899
Inter American Conference at
Lima, which resulted in a declara-
ton of solidarity providing the
machinery for calling such meet
ings as now in session here to con-
suit about emergency problems
whenever they might arise to
threaten hemisphere security.
1t was then that his technique OF
informal "buttonhole" conversations
to lay the groundwork for formal
sessions first startled the more cere-
monially-inclined Latin Americans
He found the Argentines then. as
now, undisposed to do anything
that would limit their own freedom
of action or seriously affront the
totalitarian states, which provided
