II is estimated that the United
States government has paid to pri-
vate contractors for the contraction
of the new navy the sum of $780,.
600, 900, but this was merely for
hulls and machinery, and does not
include the FIVE monitors and ships
built in government yards. To the
Crumps alone the government has
paid, in round numbers, s3s, ooo,'
600 and 1915, 900, 900 to the Newport
News Company. These firms, it is
said, make a clean profit of 81, o0o,'
