GOVERNMENT, TO BUILD sfl SHIPS IF's
Secretary Daniels says Private Yards
May Be Cut Out

i Washington, Nov. 19-Confrontmg
| a situation acknowledged as most
serious" to the navy building program
Secretary of the Navy Daniels yes
| jterday declared that the government
NAV find itself compelled for self
protection TO eliminate all private
shipbuilding concerns from consldera-
ton in the future construction %ork
OF the navy.
Intimating the strongest dlsplea-
sure over the failure Of the private
concerns to keep their bids within the
limitations of the congressional au-
thorization, with respect to the two
dreadnoughts about to be built. the
Secretary let it be known that dras-
tic action is being considered by HIM
self and his associates in the Navy
Department. So far has the matter
progressed that it is regarded as as
sured that at least one of the two au-
thorized dreadnoughts will be con-
structed by the government in one of
its own yards.
The concerns bidding for the con-
tracts to build the dreadnoughts specl-
fled certain exemptions which wogid
amount to about 100000 in the case
of each ship. To award the contracts.
under such conditions, therefore.
would make it necessary for the Navy
Department to go back to Congress
with recommendation for an addi-
tional appropriation, and this is a
thing that Secretary Daniels yestcr-
day declared emphatically he would
not do Rather than adopt that course.
the Secretary said he would ordc:
the equipment of the government navy
yards to make them available for the
construction of these capital ships.
An expenditure Of 100000 on the
equipment at the League Island yard.
the Secretary said, would make it pos
sible for the acceptance Of that yards
estimate for one of the ships. He said
that by working overtime at the
League Island yard it would he pos
siblc by next May to lay the keel Of
one Of the new vessels.

the President that he will leave for
Washington in few days to take up
the fight in the House for the Admin

, Speaker has intimated, it is SAID, that

sonally lead the forces which will be

well to defer any departure in this re-

"Lord Rosebery recently made a
statement in which he deprecated the
agitation for increased armament in
the United States. He suggested that
