than $500, ,000, 900 for thirteen modern
capital ships which are to be thrown
on the scrap heap. Add to this the
$60,000,000 needed to ''moderni3e''

be retained under the treaty, and
the total cost Of the American
treaty" fleet Of eighteen capital
ships total about 100000 tons. The
ships total about 100000 tons. The
cost Of building now warships Is
estimated roughly at $1,000 q ton.
On the other hand, naval experts
point out that the thirteen ships
doomed to destruction could have
been brought to completion by 1926
for 100000, 900, or approximately
two-thirds the cost Of complying
with the terms Of the treaty and
"modernizing" the old vessels. Com.
pleted, these thirteen capital ships
alone would total over $4,000 tons
and, In the opinion Of naval authori.
ties, would have given the United
States the most powerful navy

: In addition, II is pointed out, the
life OF . capital ship II placed AT
twenty years. The thirteen doomed
ships, II completed by 1926, would
have been good until 1916, thus
eliminating navaN construction OF
capital vessels until that date.
Under the terms Of the naval
treaty, however. the United States
retains and seeks to "modernize'
older battleships which must be re.
placed beginning in 1884.
Faced with this situation, Admins.
tration leaders In both the executive
and legislative branches OF the Gov.
ernment are unwilling at this time to
give consideration to the claims OF
naval experts that 1000, 900 is
needed to place American battleshipG
on a par with those Of other naval
powers.
