Mr. Hamilton Fish, Republican Representative of New York, said to-day that the United States "probably" has an agreement with Britain for parallel action in the Far East whereby the United States could "translate into action" President Roosevelt's foreign policies.
Mr. Fish alleged that Mr. Roosevelt was attempting to "police the world and force us into the League of Nations through the back door" and wage an "offensive war for peace."
Giving evidence before the House of Representatives Naval Affairs Commission conduction hearings on ihe Vinson Naval Bill, Mr. Fish said the sending of American cruisers to Singapore to take part in the opening of the new British naval base had been "an unfortunate bluff against Japan."
Mr. Fish opposed adoption of the Vinson Bill which would increase the strength of the United States Navy by a flat twenty per cent.
Meanwhile Administration opposi-lion appeared to the resolution presented in the Senate and House yesterday calling on President Roosevelt to summon the major naval Powers to Washington for a naval building limitations conference. The resolution was presented in the Senate by Senator William King, Democrat of Utah, and in the House by Mr. Maury Maverick, Democratic Representative of Texas.—United Press.
