As Result of
Hitler Policies
Washington, Feb. II UV-Senator
Adams (D-OoU said today Chan
cellor Hitler's exposition of foreign
policy "will make It easier (or con.
gross to vote a big nary."
It may not be absolutely neces
sary, but it oartalnly appeara ad
visable that our navy be big enough
to protect both our coasts," he told
reporters.
Rear Admiral William a. Dubose,
chief construction officer of the
navy, told the house naval commit-
the projected fleet expansion
program would require t to to years
for completion and should be ao
oompanled by Improvement of the
navy yards.
Adams compared Europe today to
a "septic tank" and demanded that
the United State abandon the Hull
trade treaty program.
He said Secretary of Stat HuUI
reciprocal trade agreement policy
"apparently Is more apt to promote
conflict and adversity than it la to
advance peace and prosperity."
Senator Thomas (D-Utah). mem
ber of the senate foreign relations
committee, observed that "for the
first tune In my life I have become
an alarmist."
Some other senate leaders said
they felt the International situation
caused by Hitler's speech and An
thony Eden'a resignation from the
English cabinet was "too delicate
for comment."
Senator Harrison (D-Miss), also
member of the foreign relations
committee, said:
"This la a good time (or us to
keep silent.
Senator Slender (D-La) declared
that he "held no sympathy" (or
England. He asserted Great Britain's
refusal to Intervene when Japan
seised Manchoukuc In 1933 had
made Italy and Germany bolder In
their fascist foreign policies.
Thomas said he saw In Germany's
recognition of Manchoukuo a col
lapse of the moral pressure against
Japanese aggression.
"These events mean that the
whole world Is being placed on an
Individualistic basis," he declared.
"Thla means rearmament and big
navies. The sentiment against our
naval expansion bill will subside and
we will be drawn Into the armament
race."
