be felt by the state and national

FOUR USELESS NAVY YARDS
Secretary Meyer Viii % Well te
Abolish Institutions That Are
Ne LANCER cf Value.

George von l. Meyer. the secretary
Of the navy. has been bold enough te
criticize something American while
abroad In an interview which be
gave In Lnndon after an inspection OF
British dock yards he said: The
United States has twice the number
Of dock yards that there are in this
country. yet the navy o. the United
Kingdom is twice as large as that OF
The United States
While this is not the nrst time Sec
retary Meyer has made the declara
ton it is the first time II has re-
ceived nrst-paze publicity He has
more than once alluded to the futilfty
OF keeping up navy yards at New Or
leans. Pensacola. Charleston. Norfolk
and Philadelphia Out OF eleven navy
yards and stations on our eastern
coast al least four are unnecessary.
According TO the figures In the sec
retary's last report the United States
could afford to blow four of fits new
dreadnoughts into oblivion IL with the
same four blasts Il could forever rid
Itself Of four OF It's useless Atlantic
coast navy yards. Buried from access
at the head OF sand-flled channels
and waterways which were adequate
half a century ago when eighteen feet
was big drausht. these yards lie in
a condition Of desuesude that might
be innocuous II they were not eating
up millions of good dollars each year.
An expenditure OF fourteen millions
would double the facilities of the New
York yard At present this. the most
important navy yard we possess, has
no dock large enough TO float an up
to-date war vessel. SO that the big
ships of the feet have to bob between
New York and Boston before their re
pairs can be completed
II Ia high time that the waste OF
money In government construction Of
Of useless navy yards should cease.
Secretary Meyer Is trying to abolish
obsolete yards and TO confine the
work of the others to the purpose for
which they are primarily intended
the fitting out and repair of ships
The useless yards can nearly all be
sold for a good price. II will take
courage TO support the navy depart
ment in this policy. Each one OF the
useless yards is located in a differ
ent state and the politicians who rep
resent these states in Washington are
not accustomed to sacrifice petty pro
yincial interests to the welfare of the
nation.
But this reform ought to be real
lied before We shout for any further
extension OF government functions. or
any transfer OF private business to
the control of Uncle Sam
