poratlon.

The Emergency Fleet Corporation,
straining to meet the demand for
every ton OF shipping that can be put
into service 10 support our great army
overseas. has asked the Navy De-
partment to grant 1t priority In the
matter OF marine engines. The Navy
Department has natly denied the re-
quest.

shipbuilding programs OF the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation and the navy

between the army and the navy
President Wilson may be called upon
to rule on the questions at issue.
Navy 10 Forehsnded.
When the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration was called upon at the be-
ginning Of the war to build ships on
a scale never before contemplated, IL
found the important shipyards of the
country tied up with contracts for
naval vessels. The navy had been
forehanded in looking after its own
important interests. The Shipping
Board, therefore, had to build yards
in order that the Emergency Fleet
Corporation could build ships.
Now the shipbuildinE program il
under way ana thousands of tons OF
shipping are being launched weekly.
The engine building program has not

Gen. George w. Goethals, on behalf
OF the Emergency Fleet Corporation
and in recognition Of the demands OF
the army for more shipping for the
carrying of supplies for our troops
overseas. requested the Navy Depart
ment to permit certain plants now
building turbine engines for destroy
ers 10 convert their facilities TO the
making OF engines for army supply
ships.
Wants Submarine FfEhter-
The Navy Department believes that
its destroyer building program is Of
paramount Importance in meeting the
submarine menace and winning the
war. It was stated yesterday that the
request OF Gen. Goethsls, II granted.
would have delayed this program six
months. while advancing the emer-
gency fleet program only two months.
Destroyers to convoy troop and sup
ply ships are more important than
additional freighters, in the view OF
the Navy Department. and on this
ground the request was denied.
