The conference report (partiaD on
the naval appropriation bill was pre-
sented by Hale, who explained that
only the matters still unadjusted had
reference to the number of new battle
ships. certain provisions In regard to
their construction, and the places
where they are to be built-all being
involved in the question OF number.
The only other question remaining
open was as to the price of armor
plate for the contemplated ships.
Chandler said he did not regard the
question between two battleshtps and
four battleships as of great import
ance. He was in favor of two battle
ships each year for the next 10 years,
but did not favor the construction OF
four battleships in any one year.
Chandler said that In view Of the
fact that the Bethlehem Works had
contracted W supply PihtN iVi
other countries at 5000 ton the sec
retary of the navy could make con-
tract for the armor for those ships at
an average price of $350-instead OF
$500-and no contract should be made
for 1t prior to December next, when
they were ready to report to Congress.
He hoped that the Senate would insist
on that amendment.
Lodge expressed the hope that the
Senate would recede from its amend
ment reducing the number of battle
ships from four to two. and agree 10
