Building United States Fleet.

There will be wooden ships and there
will be steel ships in the construction
program of the emergency fleet cor
poration that was created by the fed
eral shipping board. In evidence is the
announcement just made by Maj. Gen.
Goethals. manager of the corporation,
that new contracts have been let for
twenty-fout wooden ships and for six
steel barges.
Gen. Goethals is to have a free hand
in building of the great American mer-
chant fleet, whether of steel or wooden
construction, it is said authoritatively.
The shipping board will confine it's ac-
tivities to the operation of the fleet
and other functions vested in it by
Congress. The shipping board, how
ever. owns all the stock of the corpora
tion. except that which is nominally
vested in the incorporators.
Secretary McAdoo has announced that
100000 had just been placed to the
credit of the shipping board. He said

been held up for a second for want of
money and would not be.

steel ships to approximately $500 tons.
There were many things to be taken
into consideration. The amount of sea-
soned timber that would be required for
100000 tons of wooden ships could not
possibly be obtained in eighteen months,
and the use of timber with the sap in 1t
will give life to a ship. according to the
statement of very eminent wooden ship
builder. of approximately two or three
years. The necessity of obtaining ships
quickly is the one important thing at this
time, and after these investigations this
particular program was arranged.
No Great Friction.
"Mr. Speaker. ! do not wish to be un-
derstood as speaking by authority for
all the persons concerned. l do, however,
wish to make this statement, that ap-
parently controversy. which is unfortu-
nate, has been broached in the newspapers
between Mr.. Denman of the shipping
board and Gen. Goethals. / think much
of the misunderstanding that has been
believed to exist as the result of these
statements can be readily cleared up if
any one will appreciate that the state
ment which Gen. Goethals is quoted as
having made, and which l am informed is
inaccurate in some respects, was made be-
fore a gathering of men engaged in the
steel industry
In discussing this question before men
engaged in the steel industry the matter
could be readily presented from a view
point that would not be taken if a state
ment were being prepared for publication
for the entire country. But so far as l
am informed, after information received
by me today, the shipping board and Gen.
Goethals are not at loggerheads. There is
no great friction existing between the
board and the general. There were some
differences of opinion originally because of
the manner in which the program had to
be taken up and agreed upon. so far as
am aware, and it is based upon in
formation that comes from a reliable
source

Prompt Decision Necessary.

when before the committee early in
the week the question of the tonnage
to be constructed of wood or steel was
raised by the committee. Gen. Goethals
stated that he had reached the point
when it was necessary to determine the
extent of the wooden tonnage that was
to be built at the present time; that i'll
order to make his commitments and To
enter into his arrangements with tile
various parties who would be furnish
ng materials to take part in this pro-
gram it was necessary to know at this
time how many wooden ships would be
built. so that it would be possible to
determine how much money would be
required for wooden ships and how
much would be available for steel
ships.
THAT had not been determined, but
he made the statement that, in his opin-
ion. it would be necessary at this time
to limit the number of wooden ships to
which we would be committed to about
$50 or 200. and the program as agreed
upon, or tentatively agreed upon, was
to arrange at once for the construction
of between $50 or 200 wooden ships of
5000 tons and the entering upon a yery
extensive program in turning out the
steel ships. The tonnage of the wood
en- ships was increased to approximate
ly $500 tons, and the tonnage of the

that it would make him the general
manager of the corporation, and also
make him the executive committee
without any other members. so that
there would be centered in him full re-
sponsibility and power to do what was
proposed.
He Immediately took up the ques-
ton of how these ships could be ac-
quired. He reached the conclusion that
it was not possible to build 100000
months, and, as the result of an expert
ence he had had in the construction of
the Panama canal, he concluded that
steel ships could be turned out much
more rapidly than was then SPntem-
plated or believed possible He'recall-
ed that the gates for the locks of the
Panama canal were pontoons. They
had been fabricated in the United
States, shipped to the canal and erected
there; and it occurred to him that if a
standardized ship, were designed that
they could be fabricated in the steel
mills in the various parts of the coun-
try, the parts shipped to tidewater and
there assembled, in the same way that
the gates of the lock were put together
at the Panama canal.
He Immediately took that question
up with a number of the great steel
manufacturers of the country, and re-
ceiv-d assurances that not only could
adequate steel be furnished. but that
one plant alone in the United States at
the end of six months could turn out
one ship, and thereafter, 1 think. one a
day. He also ascertained that instead
of 3,0O0-ton ship, by utilizing steel he
could turn out ships of about $500
tons, with practically very little in
crease in cost. And so the program
was modified to the extent that it was
determined to begin at once the fabri-
cation of steel ships as well as to build
wooden ships.

OFFICIALS NOT At ODDS
OVER PLANS FOR SHIPS
Mr.. Fitzgerald, in House, Explains
Preliminary Difference of Opinion
Has Been Exaggerated.

In the House late yesterday after
noon, during the discussion over send
ing the military deficiency bill to con-
ference, Chairman Fitzgerald of the
appropriations committee made a state
ment concerning the controversy over
the building of steel and wooden ships,
timony given in committee hearings,
upon which the ban of secrecy is main
tanned for military reasons
Mr.. Fitzgerald stated that the reports
of the shipping board and Gen. Goeth-
ais being at loggerheads were false,
and that while there are some differ
enceS of opinion, there is no great fr1c-
tion. Mr.. Fitzgerald said:
The shipping board was confronted
with a necessity that arose OF making
some practical suggestions to acquire
within the next eighteen months about
100000 tons of shipping. sugges-
ton was made to the board that that
amount of shipping could be obtained
within that period of advertlng to
wooden ships and having constructed
wooden ships of about 5000 tons. After
somewhat hasty consideration, 1T was
first thought that that was feasible
The shipping board organized this
Goethals and told him of the necessity
for the work, the emergency of the
situation. and requested him to accept
the presidency of this corporation and
to. undertake the work. After some
negotiation he acquiesced in the re-
quest to take control of the work, but
requested to be made the general man
ager of the corporation and the chair
man of it's executive committee.
