Roosevelt Opposes Consolida ton.
Meanwhile, President Roosevelt in

ever before.
The Nays Chief of Aeronautics,
Rear Admiral Arthur B. Cook, told
the House Naval Committee aircraft

battleships the Navy now has
He pointed out that the Is capital
ships cost approximately $1,000, ,O00,-

considering that such planes last only
eight years in contrast to the 26-year
life OF a battleship.
