Navy's Expansion
Urged By Pittmah
WASHINGTON. April 24. (AP)
Chairman Pitlmnn (D., New) or
the senate foreign relations com
mittee, registering his support for
a bigger navy, declared today It
was Imperative that the United
States build a fleet capable of de
fending tho western hemisphere
alone, if necessary.
Plttman told reporters that he
thought this country should not
depend on the existence of a III II
isii fleet to maintain the Monroe
doctrine.
Neither, be said, should the
United States ever be placed In
the position again of having to go
to the aid of Kngland and France
to protect its own interests, as It
did in the last war.
"H would bo less burdensome
and less dangerous (o provide n
navy that could protect the Ameri
can hemisphere against any at
tack than it would be to maintain
a constant protectorate over Great
Britain and France," Plttman said.
A navy of the size Plttman urg
ed would considerably exceed that
contemplated under the pending
proposal for an 11 per cent In
crease in sen strength. Although
advocates of this limited Increase
did not share Pittman's belief In a
more ambitious program, they con
sidered his statements strong
backing for their bill.
Action by the senate naval com
mittee on the It per cent expan
sion bill is expected next week. Al
ready approved by the house, the
legislation authorizes a future out
lay of $t;f5.0(MU)00 Tor the construc
tion of a i reran carriers, cruisers,
submarines and auxiliary ships to
taling more than 240,000 tons.

Butler also told the house that
