one Of the plans being given con-

scrappins the battleships doomed
by the treaty should be adopted.
A fund. estimated as high as

out the scrapping plan experts say
will eventually prove the most eco
nomical way of disposing of these
ships.
This proposal provides for break
ships slated for destruction and
the new ones as we'll.
Following are suggested plans:
l. Sell them to the highest bid
ders and let purchasers cut them
up and salvage the scrap metal.
2. Let the government finance
the whole deal. navy yards do the
work and store the scrap metal un-
til the price OF scrap steel and brass
returns to normal
J. Take all of the ships afloat
out to sea after stripping all SAL
vaKable material off and send them
to the bottom.
4. Let private firms take the
ships and scrap them "on shares"
5. Utilize them to make break

elsewhere. by stripping them Of all
material, filling them with sand
