Admiral William D. Leahy, chief of operations, repeatedly emphasized to the committee in previous testimony that the pending- billion dollar expansion program for this nation's lone fleet, now stationed in the Pacific, would not bring: the navy to sufficient i n-itv rvlnns for the Rome-London today as Austrian Nazis suddenly opened their drive on Jews.

President Roosevelt, in his defense message to Congress in January, warned that "we cannot assume that our defense would be limited to one ocean and one coast and that the other ocean and other coast would with certainty be safe."
