Transfer of US Battleships to Poland
On 5 July 1922, Senator Joseph France introduced a Bill (S. 3787) to the US Senate “to authorize the President, if he shall deem it consistent with the public welfare and the terms of the treaty obligations of the United States, to donate to Poland six of such ships of our Navy as under the terms of the treaties with Great Britain, France, and Japan will no longer be needed by the United States and are listed to be disposed of. By unanimous consent, this Bill was referred to the Committee on Naval Affairs.
