This report was made by Admiral
Bowles in l9te. One comment on the re-
port made by Mr.. LiIley, which also ap-
pears IN the proceedings of March L. is
as follows
Computing the Profit.
Computing the excessive profit to the
Electric Boat Company from the proposed
legislation, as above quoted on Admiral
Bowles' figures, we have;
Eight submarines Of the Octopus type
at cost of SS,s00,o00 which means
unit cost OF Si37.500 for S40-ton boat, or
N,2s6 per ton Deducting from this pro-
posed price the price per ton, S7l5. recon-
mended by Admiral Bowles, who, as /
have stated. is the builder of these boats,
and it is seen that the government would
be paying an excessive profit of s54l per
ton. In other words. the excessive profit
of these eight boats Of s40 tons each
would be $l.fn52o"

as part Of his work IN aid of Mr. Lilley.
All the Lake Boat people and Mr. LiIley
have firmly declared that their co-opera-

after the investigation was started. The
Lake Boat officers have in turn testified
that they were opposed 10 the investiga-
ton and knew nothing OF it until Mr.
Liiley had introduced his resolution in
Congress on February 20.
Consulted No One.
Mr. Lilley has testified that he con-
suited no one concerning the resolution,
and spoke of it to no one until he had
introduced it in the House. He and his
secretary, Mr. Webster, agree in their
evidence that Mr.. Lilley dictated the sub
stance Of the resolution about a week sor
ten days before the date of its introduc-
tion, and then Mr. Lilley went home to
Connecticut. On his return he presented
