the gard will progress to new
heights of accomplishment.
With the federal govern
ment rapidly expanding ship
construction facilities on every
coast, and particularly the Pa
cific Coast. it is reasonable
to assume that within the APP
preparations made by Con-
gress, funds will be made
available to construct war
ships at the local yard. There
is ample room for expansion,
there are skilled men avail
able, the organization is a
time-tested one, and only the
word of federal authorities is
needed to provide for a real
program of warsSip building.
The Cincinnati. Omaha, and
Milwaukee-crack cruisers all
were built here some 20
years ago. The record made
then was outstanding. There
is no reason to doubt the Todd
interests could do equally well,
if not better, in building de-
stroyers or any other type Of
warship needed. On the
whole, shipbuilding on the
Coast, and particularly on
