this situation good business sense is
good legal sense.
I, therefore, advise that the ap-
propriate staff officers may, and
should, certify under section 14(a)
that ships and material involved in
sale or exchange are not essential
to the defense of the United States
if in their judgment the consum-
nation of the transaction does not
impair or weaken the total defense
of the United States, and certainly
SO where the consummation of the
arrangement will strengthen the
total defensive position of the
Nation.
Strengthening of Defense.
With specific reference to the pro-
posed agreement with the govern
ment of Great Britain for the
acquisition of naval and air bases,
1t is my opinion that the Chief of
Naval Operations may, and should,
certify under Section l4(a) that the
destroyers involved are not essential
to the defense of the United States
if in his judgment the exchange of
such destroyers for such naval and
air bases will strengthen rather than
impair the total defense of the
United States.
I have previously indicated that
in my opinion there is statutory
authority for the acquisition of the
naval and air bases in exchange for
the vessels and material. The ques-
ton was not more fully treated at
that point because dependent upon
the statutes 'aboye discussed and
which required consideration in this
section of the opinion. 1t is to be
borne in mind that these statutes
clearly recognize and deal with the
authority to make dispositions by
sale, transfer, exchange or other
wise; that they do not impose any
limitations concerning individuals,
corporations or governments to
which such dispositions may be
made, and that they do not specify
or limit in any manner the con-
sideration which may enter into an
exchange. There is no reason what
ever for holding that sales may not
be made to or exchanges made with
foreign government or that in
such case treaty is contemplated.
This is emphasized when we consider
that the transactions in some cases

any vessel, built, armed, or equipped
as a vessel, of war, or converted
from private vessel into a vessel
of war, with any intent or under
any agreement or contract, written
or oral, that such vessel shall be
delivered to a belligerent nation, or
to an agent, officer, or citizen of
such nation, or with reasonable
cause to believe that the said vessel
shall or will be employed in the
service of any such belligerent ma
ton after its departure from the
jurisdiction of the United States"
This section must be read in the
light of section of the same act
and the rules of international law
which the Congress states that it
was its intention to implement. Oh.
Rep. No. 80, 65th Congress, 1st
session, p. 81 So read, it is clear
that it is inapplicable to vessels, like
the over-age destroyers, which were
not built, armed, equipped as, or
converted into, vessels of war with
Continued on Page Aid
Evening star., 1940-09-03

for transfer, exchange, sale or dis
position of property merely because
1t Is still used or usable or of possible
value for future use. The statute
does not contemplate mere transac-
tions in scrap, yet exchange or sale
except as scrap would hardly be
possible If confined to material whose
usefulness is entirely gone. 1t need
only be certified as not essential,
and essential" usually the equiv
alent OF vital or indispensable, falls
far short of used" or "usable''
Moreover, as has been indicated,
the congressional authorization is not
merely Of sale, which might imply
only a cash transaction. 1t also au-
thorizes equipment to be trans
ferred,' Exchanged" or otherwise
disposed Of; and in connection with
material of this kind for which there
is no open market value is never
absolute but only relative-and
chiefly related to what may be had
in exchange or replacement.
In view of the character of the
transactions contemplated, as well
as the legislative history, the con-
clusion is inescapable that the Con-
gress has not sought by section
14ta) to impose an arbitrary linn
itation upon the Judgment of the
highest staff officers as to whether
a transfer, exchange or other dis
position of specific items would
impair cur essential defenses. Spe-
cific items must be weighed in re-
lation to our total defense position
before and after an exchange or
disposition. Any other construc-
ton would be virtual prohibition
of any sale, exchange or disposition
of material or supplies so long as
they were capable of use, however
ineffective. and such prohibition
obviously was not, and was not in
tended to be, written into the law.
1t is my opinion that in proceed
ing under section 14(a appro-
pirate staff officers may and should
consider remaining useful life, stra-
tegic importance, obsolescence and
all other factors affecting defense
value. not only with respect to
what the Government of the United
States gives up in any exchange or
transfer, but also with respect TO
what the Government receives. In
