We have not the slightest idea what
profit there will he in the making of
these shells. We do not know that
there will be any. There is no certain
~ that II would be possible for us TO
deliver a shell 10 meet the test.
For officers in the Navy TO assume
that any bid made under such condi-
tons Is "exorbltant" Is utterly unfair.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1917-02-08

We bid on the new battle-cruisers
sums which Navy department experts,
after examination OF our books. found
would yield a profit OF less than ten
per cent. We agreed TO assume risks
for Increased costs OF materials and Ia
Dor, that made it possible that these
contracts might yield no profit what
ever.
Ihe costs run beyond the amount ap-
propriated by Congress ON the basis OF
the cost estimates made year ago.
And because shipbuilders could not
alter the inexorable cost facts and re-
dnce bids 10 early estimates OF the
Navy Department. the prices are called
''exorbltant"
1t would be a real advantage 10 be
selieyed OF this naval construction. The
profit from it cannot possibly amount
TO much. and the responsibility is enor-
nous.
We have determined 10 make this
offer to the American Government.
IF you will build two OF the battle
cruisers IN Government navy Yards.
We will build the other two at the as.
eertained cost Of building the ships I'm
the Government yards, without add
tional expense or commissions of any
kind. We VIII also contract TO have
our ships ready for service ahead Of
the Government ships"

One OF the special needs OF the new
navy Is slhteen.inch guns--guns sixty
feet long and capable OF hurtling a
200O pound shell with such power and
accuracy as TO hit q 30 foot square tar
get fifteen miles away.
We have undertaken voluntarily 10
construct. at a cost OF Sl,JOOOOO, a
plant fitted 10 build slxtccnlnch guns.
Under no conceivable circumstance
car orders which we may receive for
this plant pay even a fair return on
the Investment.
Considerable comwcnt has been made
upon the fact that Il British manufac.
turcr recently bid less than American
manufacturers Tor siytccu aud four.

2iW fourtcen.inch armorplcrclng shells
~ contract price OF S7GS,00O. TO be
delivered within certain time or we
had 70 pay n large penalty.
The Ouly specifications for making
these shells are that they shall be
OF a certain size and must pierce
armor.plnte nc certain velocity on i'm.
pact II Is impossible TO forctell the
exact conditions OF the tests.
We had made large quantities Of shells
In the paSt which had been accepted.
But In placing this particular order the
Department altered the angle at which
the tested shells must pierce armor.
Plate. The result, however. has been
absolute inability on our part 20 pro.
duce In any quantity. shells which VIII
meet these novel tests Ia fact. we
know of no process OF proiectile.mak.
ing through which II Is possible 10 pro-

conform TO the requirements.
The result Is that up 10 now on that
contract OF S7Gs,OO0. we have put into

have been penaized for non-delIyery
