its present program completed at
the end of 1919, and the yards at
Alameda would not have been able
to turn out the transports within
that time.
1t was stated today that the board
is making no contracts at this time
that cannot be completed by the
end of 1919. This, however, does
not mean ending of ship construc-
ton then, for contracts will be
awarded during 1919 for construc-
zion to run through 1920. such flu
