JUNKED SHIPS WILL NET
ONE CENT ON DOLLAR

The United States Government will
be lucky if it realizes more than a
cent on the dollar on the cost of the
100000 tons of war vessels doomed
to be scrapped in accordance with
the terms of the naval treaty.
Twenty-six vessels, totalling APP
proximately 100000 tons. are to be
broken up completely within eighteen
months from the time the last Of the
signatory Powers to the treaty have
deposited notifications in Washington.
The tonnage represents a cost to the
Government of approximately $780,
100000, and on the basis of current
prices for junk it would have only
a net value of $2,250,00.
