Press> Actual cost to the United
States OF the scrapping of the present
naval building programme, naval Off
cials estimated to-day, would be between
$500, 100000 and $500, 1000, 900. exclusive
OF any salvage plan that might reduce
this total. In his statement to the Con-
ference on Limitation Of Armament, pre-
senting the American proposal. Secretary
Hughes said the work already done had
cost s2.0,00O,000, but these figures do
not include costs incident to abandon
ment fthe ships under construction.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said to-
day that the American programme would
save the Government about 1900, 100000
In naval expenditures. The figure is the
difference between the total cost OF conf
pletion of the ships. about 5000, 900, 600,
and what scrapping them all would cost.
Included in the scrapping costs are al
lowances for reimbursement of contrac-
tors for work they have been compelled
to do in their yards in preparation FOR
the huge craft TO be built
There is no intention on the part OF
the Government to stop work on the new
ships until an agreement actualy is
reached by the conference and ratified
by the governments involved. That was
made plain to-day. Construction on 'he

Interpretation raised the issue of Amer

On the alibi the defence contends that
ten reputable witnesses testified that
Sacco was IN Boston, twenty-five miles
from Braintree, at noon of the day of
the murder. and eleven witnesses testi-
fled that Venzetti was in Plymouth, his
home. at the same hour.
Further, the defense charges irregu-
Iarities in the jury room, which alone
should Justify new trial. Walter Rip
ley, foreman of the jury, who dropped
dead few days after the trial, had In
his pocket cartridges from a pistol kept
at home Both gun and cartridges were
identical with those found on Van2etti
when arrested. Ripley did not know he
had the cartridges with him until he
went to the jury room and then he COM
pared them with the States exhibits.
Affidavits set forth that Ripley's car
tridges were marked peculiarly on the
caps.
Vanzetti was convicted of participat-

months before the Braintree murder and
was sentenced to fifteen years in the

great deal to be said for the proposals

served the most careful considera ton

concerned. they are large ard costly and
they serve no other purpose at all. If

the end OF ten years or some other
period Of time it was decided to build

keep the plants in reserve. In that case
il would be only reasonable that a. sub
sidy should be paid the armament frns
for that purpose. 1t would be a cheap
form OF insurance, and until we are
assured we can look forward to sone-

within a few weeks, perhaps days, be
ordered scrapped are OF such nature
that they could not be saved IN any

The bulk of the $4,000 900 a year for
each ship Is for materials ordered and
which would have to be paid for in any
case. Only In ono or two cases Is there
a large labor force at work on actual
building OF the ships.
One phase OF the programme naval
officers have been struck with is its
probable effect on the three great ship
building plants doing most OF the new
ship construction for the Government.
Those plants, It was said to-day, were
engaged almost entirely on Government
work and on those ships which would be
scrapped under the plan. All three. 1t

s,,ppIying ample funds to give these
italian labor organizers strong legal
protection.
The result of the European outrages
and the wide discussion in this country
has been to accentuate further the pit-
terness in New England growing out OF
this remarkable case. Viewed from the
vantage point Of Plymouth Rock, this
case Is not merely whether two Italians
committed murder and highway rob-
berry, but rather is trial of anarchy
against Americanism. The facts OF the
trial are almost obscured in the tense
patriotic issue.
New England Is Divided.
All New England Is divided into three
classes: Those who believe Sacco and
Vanzetti innocent and the victims OF
persecution because OF their radical be-
liefs those who honestly believe the
Italians committed the crime and should
pay the penalty. and some who scorn
all anarchism and believe all propa-
gandists for anarchy and communion In
whatever form should be burned at the
stake regardless Of facts. as the witches
of Puritan days were burned.
This last mentioned sentiment is by
no means negligible. 1t is a positive rae
tor in the situation.
Certain it is that all developments in
the case point one way Communism is
losing it's hold i'm this country. The
Reds are getting weaker. No one knows
it better than they.
Their agents here informed TEE NEW
York HERALD correspondent to-day that
their forces "are shot to pieces" and
that unless something happens they can
not hope for much in the near future
in this country. They are in despair
over the collapse of their unseen gov
ernment in America. That Is why they
have seized upon the Sacco-Vanzetti
case as the national rallying cry.
They hope to call together their dis
integrating forces. BY crying through
out the country that two innocent men
are being sent to death for their beliefs,
the Red leaders still hope to stir such
great anger among all labor that this
Government may vet be, overturned and
the intarnationaie triumph in Washing
ton. But American workers. like the
solid New Englander appear to be little
moved by the cry. They are asking who
did kill the paymaster.
Prospects for New, Trial.
The prevailing sentiment now appears
to be that there may be no new trial
granted in the lower court and that the
real test will be In the Supreme Court.
The words of Judge Thayer in charging
the jury still ring in the ears of the
! radicals. He said:
Seek courage in your delibera tons
such as was typified by the American
