CANADA WANTS IT'S NEW
NAVY BUILT BY BRITONS
All Inquiring American Builders In
formed That Foreign Bids viii
Not Be Considered


OTTAWA. Ont, July l2.-When
Renders are called for for the con-
struction OF new ships for the Can
adam navy such call will not be made
publicly. Certain firms. British and
Canadian, who may desire 10 put in
bids have been asked to so advise the
department, and they will be notified
when the plans and specifications are
available. Following the policy OF the
British admiralty, the designs OF the
proposed new warships are TO be kept
secret and are not open to the public.
IL Is learned that United States
builders have been making inquiries,
but that they have been advised that
the competition will be limited to Eng
lish and Canadian firms.
Ii Is the intention OF the govern
ment to have the vessels constructed
in Canada, provided that the addition
al cost OF building them in this coun-
try Is not more than % per cent OF
the cost OF constructing them in Great
Britain. In view OF the fact that Can
adam shipbuilders must pay back 10
the government large part OF the
contract price, in the shape of Gus
toms duties upon material that must
be imported. much OF which win come
from the United States, the proposed
preference Of 20 per cent will not give
them any advantage.
1t is stipulated that the vessels of
the Canadian navy must be construct
ed on the sea coast, not the lake
coast, OF the Dominion This is ow.
ing to the rush-Bagot agreement be-
tween the United States and England.
