eminent work as direct cause for
the situation.
Chairman Padgett has not received
replies from all the big builders TO
whom he sent his inquiries He has
received. however, the answers of the
principal plants in the country and
they show that the probable naval
program of the present Congress-for
two battleships. one battle cruiser and
two scout ships-Cannot be completed
III less than three years unless an
emergency arises when private work
would be laid aside to take over Gov
ernment demands
The condition in the Government
yards equipped for building battle
ships is not much different. The
Brooklyn yard is provided with all
the work that can be done in the next
year and the Mare Island Yard, which
will be enlarged, will be ready in six
months to build its first battleship.
This will engage the attention of the
Pacific coast yard for the next two
years.
Situation at Cramps
The William Cramp & Sons Ship
and Engine Building Company, of
Philadelphia informed Mr.. Padgett
that 1t would be unable to begin con-
struction on account of lack of mate
rial and work ahead. until April,
1917. ut is impossible to increase
our facilities wrote Henry S. Grove,
president of the company
Two companies, the New York Ship
building Company and the Bethlehem
| steel Corporation, controlling four
| ship concerns, offered the best induce
ments to the government. The former
company said it had facilities to build
! II destroyers.
A reply was received from f. G.
Grace, president of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, which controls
these works engaged in shipbuilding:
the Union Iron Works, San Francisco:
the Fore River Shipbuilding Com
pany, Quincy, Mass; Harlan & Holl-
ingsworth, Wilmington. and the Mary
land Steel Company, Sparrows Point.
These concerns have 26 building ways.
What Bethlehem Can Do
The reply summarized shows:
Two battleships or two battle
cruisers can De delivered in 3S months.
Four scout cruisers in 80 months.
Eight destroyers in "a months.
Ten auxiliary vessels in "a months
Submarines, In any number, the
first in 16 months and one each month
thereafter if duplicate types are fol-
lowed.
I'm the event of emergency or war
our facilities can be doubled" Mr.
Grace adds. "In order to accomplish
the above the conditions demand con-
centration, and we could deliver one
battleship "a months after having
been furnished with complete de-
tails"
Mr.. Grace suggested that the com
panies controlled by the Bethlehem
could finish the armor, guns and gun
mounts, and thereby hasten com
pletion.
I'm conclusion, permit us to assure
YOU" said Mr.. Grace, That we recog-
nize, as citizens, our first obligation
is to serve the United States. We are
quite willing to cooperate in the most
effective manner to assist the demands
