U.S. Re-armament EVER SINCE the Munich Agree-
ment unsettled American isola- tionism, a struggle has been going on in Washington over defence plans for the United States. On ono side were the military men who wanted careful, ateady equip. ment for technical efficiency in defence. On the other were those who, led by President Roosevelt, thought in political and diploma- tic terms.
