...tons with 5.1-inchers. Up popped the French and Italian delegates. In quick succession they said their governments would have preferred a British proposal to limit capital ships to 27,000 tons with 12-in. guns. For the U. S. grey and graceful little Ambassador-at-Large Norman Hezekiah Davis repeated the immemorial naval thesis of Washington: only "quantitative limitation" (limitation of whole fleets by global tonnage) is of real use.

These nominations were adopted by acclaim. At the time President ''Flying Sam" Hoare was on his way to wintersport in Switzerland...
...carrying three oldsters tucked away securely in three of her best bunks. The gentlemen were London-bound with no time to spare, for they were the U. S. delegates to the 1935 Naval Limitation Conference opening Dec. 9. Only fortnight ago President Roosevelt appointed them. Ambassador-at-Large Norman Hezekiah Davis, chief of the delegation, was named to go because attending conferences is his job.
