THE NAVY

Naval officers point out that there
have been appearing in the press.
with increasing frequency. erroneous
statements respecting the cost of bat
tleships as compared with aircraft.
also the destructiveness of aerial
bombs. because such bombs contain
a larger percentage of explosive than
armor- piercing shells Of the same
size. The statements most frequent
ly made with respect to costs are
that 1000 airplanes can be constructed
for the cost of one present-day bat
tleship; that each plane can carry a
bomb Of sufficient power to sink a
battleship, and that the airplane re-
ouires a personnel of only Two or
three men. whereas the battleship re-
quires 500 or more. :
In the first place, present-day cost
of battleships is less than $45. 600, 900.
naval officers state; but granting the
cost to be that sum and that such q
battleship could be used for the first
line for a period of fifteen years and
the second line for ten years, at an
annual upksep of $1.000.000 the cost
81 q battleship for twenty-five years
would be $40. .oeo.ooo. or $500. 600 yearly.
Evening star., 1921-06-19

Granted that 1000 planes can be
built for $45,O00. 900. which. on ac-
count of the diversified types re-
quired by a complete naval air force
seems hardly possible, inasmuch as
the larger type of planes cost con-
siderably more than $4,000 each. in
Guiding their equipment. it should be
borne in mind that the life of a plane
in service is approximately two years;
thus. the entire cost of the planes
must be again spent each succeeding
two years. or twelve and one-half
times during the life of a battleship: !:
and inasmuch as not less than SO per
cent. on the average, of the first cost
of a plane is required to keep ii in
commission for two years. the total
cost of loco planes for twenty-fi FIVE
years would be sS43.750,00O. or $780,
s74S,000 per year. a sum sufficient to
keep in commission twelve battle-
ships of the present-day type. 1t is
therefore the claim of officers who
are authority on naval avia ton that
the comparison of cost between one
battleship and 1000 airplanes is err
roneous and misleading.
Furthermore, in the matter of per-
sonnel. naval officers do not agree
with the printed statements A bat
tleship such as contemplated would
have to have crew of 1900 officers
and men. instead of 500. as hereto-
fore stated by critics of the Navy:
8,
for every man in the air there is
required approximately twenty on
the ground. On this basis twelve
battleships would require $4,000 Of
ficers ana men. and 1000 airplanes.
on the basis of one man in the plane
and twenty on the ground would
require $1,000 personnel 1t is sthe
belief of Navy officials that the per-
sonnel of the two would about cancel
each other in cost. inasmuch as high
ly skilled mechanics are required on
battleships and aircraft alike. In
the case of landing fields and hangers
for. 1000 aircraft. the expense is
Cancelled by docks and navy yards
required for the repair Of battleships
That. they claim. brings the case
down to a comparison of material
cost.
Regarding the statement of each
aircraft carrying a bomb sufficiently
large to destroy a battleship. it is
not the opinion of naval officers that
this can be done at the present day.

veloped to such an extent that they

This, naval officers say. is erro-
neous; that the destructiveness OF TN.
T unconfned has a certain potential
actuality which is not increased by
the mere dropping of the T. n. T.
from a height Their belief is that
it is necessary for the projectile to
pierce the armor of the ship and ex-
claim cannot be done by thin-walled
aerial bombs subject only to the i'm
pulse of gravity. There must be ac-
celeration beyond the force of grav-
ity TO cause the she'll to pierce armor
and the shell must be of the armor-
weight of the shell will reduce the
amount of T. n. T. which 1t may con-
tain, nullifying the destructiveness of
the bomb.
Naval officials advocate the publica-
tion only of the actual facts. Erro-
neous comparisons which bring out
only one side of the argument do not
help the cause of aeronautics, and do
more harm than good.

Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis may
be impeached even though he has not
violated directly a statute Of the United
states, Representative Welty (Ohio),
author of the impeachment proceedings
against the Federal Judge, said in =
statement to-day.
Mr. weIty revealed that he had re-
ceived several letters stating that the
LIQUOR interests and some disloyal forces
are back of his fight on Judge Lands.
This he denied. saying he voted for the
Volstead law. the ousting from the
House of Victor Berger, Milwaukee So
cialist. who was sentenced to twenty
years Imprisonment by Judge Lands,
and that several times he had endeav-
ored to enlist during the war
No date has been set for the opening
OF the impeachment inquiry by the Ju-
dietary Committee, Chairman Volstead
(Minn.) said to-day. So far as known
Mr.. Welty will be the only witness un-
less Judge Lands or some OF his triends
wish to appear. In his statement To-
day Mr.. Welty said:
II notice that Judge Lands Is quoted
as saying that after I get through ne

personal matters have nothing 10 90
when vital principles affecting the soui
OF America are at stake. The question
that Congress must face sooner or ialer
Is. can a Federal Judge occupy dual
position? When my investigation con-
yinced me that he could not | nitro

the Rules Committee refused to give me

'Tt was only then that felt impeiied

seems TO be an impression that Judge
Landis cannot be removed unless he IS
guilty of a statutory offense. This is
not the case. The only question to be
decided by the House is whether Judge
Lands has offend I'd against the dignity
OF the people of the United states by
u-ansgressing his office and soiling his
judicial ermine.
II do not believe a judge has ever
nbeen impeached because of statutory
crimes. Judge Archibald was impeachcd
