COOLIDGE WANTS
MORE SUBMARINES
President Win Recommend
Authorization for Addi-
tiOnal Cruisers.

Rapid City. S. D.-President Cool
idge will recommend authorizations
for additional cruisers and submarines
at the December session Of congress,
it was announced at the summer
White House
1t was made clear that the exeeu
tive has no plan for a specific number
of new surface and andersen ships
He VIII lay down a general policy and
permit congress to work out the solu,
ton,
Mr.. Coolidge, however, will no IA
vcr immediate appropriations for new
ship construction at the next. session.
He does not believe in the policy
whereby congress would authorize
construction OF the vessels and then
appropriate the money, He wants
the authorizations passed at the next
session and appropriations made later
through the budget bureau in the reg
ular way.
The reason for this policy, it was
explained, is that the president does
not believe any emergency exists for
immediate ship construction, despite
the outcome OF the Geneva disarma-
ment conference and the apparent
plan of Great Britain to increase fur
ther her light cruiser strength.
At the same time Mr.. Coolidge
made known that he intends to recon-
mend disposition of the American
merchant marine to private interests
Immediately, He does not believe
there is a ship on the seas operated
by the federal government which is
not operated at a loss of revenue. The
government merchant marine was con.
structed at a cost OF $500, 10000
and $4,000, OoO.o has been lost, he
maintains.
