This article focuses on political developments during the year 1929. The article describes that as soon as the proposal of British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, coming to talk to U.S. President Herbert Hoover, about naval armament situation, there were positive and negative reactions. The first public intimation that MacDonald might take a few weeks off and cross the Atlantic was made, on June 10, 1929 at London, and was favorably received. Within a week after these incidents President Hoover was backing water on the army cut, the British Admiralty was joining in the London parleys, pay increases for the American army to as much as 105 percent in some cases were being demanded.
