Building of an American naval airship approved according to the Dutch newspaper Het nieuws van den dag voor Nederlandsch-Indië daily edition dated 8 January 1927

According to a tiding dated Washington 7 January approved the House of Representatives an amendment to a supplementary naval bill which included the building of a airship to replace the Shenandoah (1) costs 4.000.000 dollar. This approval met large enthusiasm by the proponents of a large fleet while it resulted of a crossing of the naval expenses which Coolidge tried to decrease.
