If Hughes did not secure specit fie provision in the treaties covering s elevation of guns on American battle--1 ships, the fault was with the naval . advisers, not Hughes, for the subject 1 was not even brought up at the conference. 2. Congress is to blame if it has ) not appropriated sufficient funds to s keep the navy up to the 5-5-3 ratio, a 3.
