COSTLY BATTLEsHIPs

Some experts contend that the battle
ship is still the backbone of nations
naval strength. while others assert that it
is an obsolete weapon, at the mercy of sub
marines, destroyers and aircraft.
However this may be, it must be adj
mitted that the modern battleship is a
costly piece of naval equipment, and its
cost has risen amazingly in recent years
This may be illustrated by comparison of
the cost of the Arkansas, commissioned in
1912, with the Colorado, our most ex-
pensive battle wagon, first put into serv-
ice in 1928, each the most powerful of her
day.
The Arkansas carried II 12-inch guns
and 16 5-ineh, and cost s9,945,716. The
Colorado carries 16-inch and II 5-ineh
guns and cost scr, $685. 74. In spite of her
immensely greater cost, the Colorado has
speed slightly less than that of the old Ar
kansas.
Today first class battleship or bat
tie cruiser would cost nearly five times as
much as the Arkansas, which was the pride
of the Navy only % years ago. And some
contend that such vessel could be de-
stroyed by bombing planes or small naval
craft using torpedoes in short order.
Whether this be true or not, it should give
the government something to think about
before investing too heavily in new battle
ships.

The working class Congress for Unemployment
and Social Insurance will confront this capitalist
class program with its own demands, the demands
of the American masses:
II For immediate unemployment insurance
benefits to be paid to every jcbless worker without
discrimination at prevailing union rates, to be not
less than $40 week. with So for every dependent.
All this to be paid by the Federal Government and
the employers. Not cent to come from the
workers.
81 For social insurance, health benefits, sick
insurance, and accident and maternity insurance
to be paid for by the government and the en-
ployers.
In these two Congresses the classes face one
another The success of the working class conven-
ton depends on the width of its representation, on
its united front character. Every working class
organization of iobless, every trade union, every
A. F. of L. local. every Socialist Party local must
take immediate steps to have its delegate. Let us
answer the Congress of American Industry For
cash relief For unemployment and social insur-
ance! Build the Congress Of the workers.
