manufacture Of It's own armor, or by
any private concern furnishing armor
for American ships. Claims have
been pending for years and in settling
them the government not only closed
up past issues, but insisted on clear

in the future. The claimants sought
to limit the adjustment to the armor
furnished by the two concerns hereto
fore furnishing the government. Fore

itself might wish to make armor at
some time, or that competition might
extend to other large concerns, Sec
rotary Long insisted that the release
be broad enough to cover armor max
ing by the United States or by any
concern working for the government
These points finally were conceded.
