ia about the management of private
Shipyards and the conduct of navy
bureaus.
Some of this information was gath
cred by Secretary Meyer at the de
partment and on his trips of inspec-
lion. There is also a mass of Cnater-
ial obtained from other sources.
Certain questions affecting the
yards may be submitted to army an
thoriiies, because ii is recognized
that the army might be called upon
to defend the yards in time of war.
With the findings of the Swift board,
Secretary Meyer expects to formu-
late permanent plans not only for the
government of the yards. but also for
co-ordinating the work of the navy
bureau.
