SAVE Save HUGE SUM
$40O,OO0,OOO Savings, From
Maintenance and Stop
ping Construction
Current Cost of Navy, However, "ill
Not be Reduced by Five Power
nrnnf,r


Washington, Feb. 13.-By limiting
the size of the American Navy, as
agreed upon in the five power naval
treaty, by stopping construction on
thirteen capital ships and By scrap
ping as many more older vessels an
annual saving of approximately
5000, 100000 in fleet maintenance will
be made and approximately $2OO,vo
100000 more than was allowed for the
struction.
This is as close as naval author
ties have been able to figure the
economics in the naval establishment
which are to grow out of the naval
holiday program. There will be little
if any reduction in the current cost
of the navy. AS matter of fact,
the budget for next year as submit
ted to Congress calls for about ST,
100000 more than was allowed for the
present fiscal year.
When asked what the taxpayer IS
to get out of what is now commonly
known as the "treaty navy" officials
Of the Navy Department talk in
terms of what would have been IN
stead of what is If naval competi-
ton had gone on, they show, and if
the 1916 program had been consum-
ated, it would have cost at least
S200,000,000 more to have completed
ships in which $300,000,000 already
has been invested and it would have
cost 100000 annually to main
tain such fleet, once it had been
built and delivered.
The naval budget for next wear
calls for an outlay of S425,952, 900, a
budget prepared, moreover, on basis
of limited fleet. but big as is the
sum called for. it is small in rela-
ton to the total fiscal budget of the
government, naval officials declare,
when compared with the sums Great
Britain and Japan have set aside
for their naval establishments as re-
lated to the total British and Japa-
Nose budgets
