ARMOR PLATE TOOCOST[Y
Secretary Daniels Thinks Uncle
Sam Should Own or
Control Plant.

The United States will probably manu-
facture its own almor plate for battle
ships in the near future unless Secretary
Daniels OF the Navy Department changes
his mind as to the desirability of having
the country build and control it's own
plant for the purpose. He has expressed
the opinion that such action doubtless
will be necessary. No real competition
can be secured by the government, he
asserted. when it asks for bids for armor
plate. He would not disturb the con-
tracts let just before the close of the
Taft administration by Secretary Meyer,
he said. because 1t would be useless, and
no better bids would be secured than
those already made.
II am convinced" said Secretary
Daniels, that the United States pays
too much for its armor plate, and the
only way to get 1t cheaper would seem
to be for the country to have it's own
plant, SO that the outsiders may be forced
to come down to a reasonable price. The
competing concerns now get their figures
very close together within a fraction Of
cent. 1t does not matter to them
which one gets the contract. for they di-
vide the profits. There is no competi-
tion.''
