ECONOMY PLAN
WON 7 AFFECT
NAVYPROGRAM
Saving to Be Practiced, But Not
At Expense Of Vital
Essentials.
BY International New. Service.

Despite curtailed appropriations
there will be no economies where the
navy's vitals are concerned, it was
learned today.
The navy is economizing in every
possible way, It is indicated, but the
word has been received from authori.
tive quarters that cuts are to be deep.
est where they can best be attempt
ed. There will be no .ndangerins
the essential parts of the navy estab-
lishment such as would cripple 1t
more than necessary.
Naval estimates are in course of
preparation under the new budget
system, and economies are to be at
tempted in a tremendous variety OF
ways" IL is said. But with what are
regarded as the navy's AMI the coun-
try's insurance policies, namely new
ships and the newest developments in
ordinance and equipment, 1t Is In
tended to be sparing, as far as Ia con.
sistent with a rigid economy program.
1T is not on the vital necessities
that We must economize," une official
stated. "Of course, we shall cut, and
cut deeply wherever possible, but
those cuts must be rational and bust
nesslike. OF course, we may reach
even the big things eventually"
Naval estimates are expected to be
ready about September /, 1t Is I'M
derstood. Officials of the Navy De-
partment are constantly in touch
with Budget Director Dawes, and
his ideas are being closely adhered
to.
Navy authorities feel that certain
parts OF their late program, such as
airplane carriers for duty with the
fleets, are so necessary that they
must be constantly sought after until
the need is fulfilled. Other items
receiving consideration are construc-
ton and ordnance, but all are TO be
pared where possible.
