Congressman Britten, chair
man of the House Naval Af

son's talk at Geneva about
arms reduction "Another naval
victory for British diplomacy"
and "a complete surrender by
the United States."
Fortunately there are Ameri
cans in Congress. They may
have something to say about
that complete surrender before
it is made official.
