New York. Sept. 2.--Assistant Sec
rotary of the Navy Franklin ID.
Roosevelt makes an analysis of the
J United States navy in the current
issue of the Economic World thar Is
calculated to open the eyes of the
world.
/ He points out that geographical
necessity forces upon the Navy De-
partment certain conditions which
France can afford to ignore. but he
believes that these disadvantages Ore
/ scented by the length and division OF
our coast line can be overcome to
some extent by a more efficient con-
centration of particular activities re-
lating to the maintenance of navy
Yards and shore stations
After comparing the size of the
four leading navies of the world be-
fore the outbreak of the present war.
Mr.. Roosevelt gives the approximate
official budgets for these naval estah-
lishments as follows:
Great Britain. $3.50. 100000 Ger
many. $4,000. 900: United States,
STAG, 100000. France. s9a.o0o.o0o.
Can Concentrate Readily.
Going on then=to show that Great
Britain and Germany. with short coast
I lines. are able to concentrate their
naval organizations in relatively few
arsenals and dock yards. and have in
addition private shipbuilding indus
i try. upon which they can rely as aux
-iliarics he presents France as lacking
both Of these advantages. and conse-
quently as being required TO maintain
complete separate bases on its Allan
tic shores ca ahie Of taking care of
the entire French fleet.
Mr.. Roosevelt calls attention to the
fact that it has been affirmed that the
United States has too many navy
yards, He says.
MANY of those who thought two
great bases on this coast sufficient
have realized that the development Of
submarine and air craft require many
bases 10 give them their greatest eff
fectiveuess. and also hitherto I'M
thought of needs IN the rapid con-
struction of ships and in the manu-
fscture Of vast quantities OF supplies
and munitions make IL nj least doubt
ful whether the government should
now allow any existing plant to fall
into decay"
Should Maintain All.
Since 1900. when the first navy
! yards We're esta hiished. the United
States has invested s,059 2so for
+ buildings, machinery and Improve
ments for the thirty-six stations of
all classes which il maintains and Mr..
Roosevelt thinks it viii be good poll
/ icy to maintain every one OF these
plants thai is in good condition and
capable Of active use in time of war
Considering the distribution OF ap-
preparations for the navy. Mr.. Roose-
veh finds that the United States
spends over 30 per cent for pay as
against % per cent In Great Britain.
: II per cent in Germany and l6 per
cent in France.
BY way of reform he advocates a
different system of appropriations,
proper correlation of work done at
the different navy yards and shore
stations and finally the necessity OF
a continuing program or policy on the
part of the government.
