Must Watch Two Oceans.


Faced today with one of the
gravest international situations in
its history, the Navy has dual task
Of forming strong guard in the
Pacific while remaining on the alert
for troubles in the Atlantic.
Bound by treaty limitations since
the Washington Disarmament Con-
ference of 1922, only in recent years
has the Government authorized a
much needed expansion. Though
adding ships to the line weekly, at
Mast five years will elapse before
he Navy will have a complement
yarranted by world conditions, ac-
,ording to funds just made available
by Congress.
More than at any time since the
World War, the Navy is needed in
two oceans although it has only
enough equipment to maintain its
position in one. AS a partial solu-
ton. while awaiting new units from
the shipways, the Navy has just
established an Atlantic Patrol Force
Of l25 combat vessels. Included, 1t
Is expected, will be battleship line,

$2S,679,070 Contract
Lei for Navy Planes

A 2S,s79, ,070 contract for air
planes was awarded by the Navy
yesterday to the United Aircraft
Corp, Vought-Sikorsky aircraft di-
vision, Stratford, Conn. Types. de-
livery schedules and other details
were withheld.
A $138,062 contract for motor
trucks was awarded the General Mo-
tors Corp, Chevrolet division, De-
troit
Meanwhile the War Department
awarded contracts totaling $28, ,434,-
609, mainly to help supply needs Of
the Army's expanding Air and Sig
nal Corps.
The r. C. A. Manufacturing Co.,
Washington, was given an order for
$2,388,354 worth of radio receivers
for the Signal Corps, which the com.
pany said would be produced at its
Camden IN. j. plant A Baltimore
firm, the Bendix Radio Corp, re-
ceived two orders, one of $l,834, ,436
1Or radio compaSSeS ana anOther OF
$378,63l for frequency meter sets.
With gunpowder still one of the
Army's greatest needs, a Sc, 800 900
contract was given to the Atlas
Powder Co. of Wilmington. Del, for
the operation of its INT plant
at Weldon Springs, Mo. The site for
this plant, located near st. Charles,
Mo-, was announced on october %.
Negotiations for the construction of
the new plant have not yet been

was for the Air Corps, single one
amounting to $12,671 ,03O being given

dix Aviation Corp, South Bend,

large numbers as they are else
where. In some of the labor or
CARNATIONS they hold important
posts.
The A. F.. L. leaders here COM
mented generally that Mr.. Lewis
announcement that he would retire
as head of the C. I. o. if Mr.. RooSe-
welt were elected was a most well
come message to labor generally.
They have been at swords points
with Mr.. Lewis for years.
The final estimate of the effect
of Mr.. Lewis support of Mr.. Willkie,
so far as New Jersey and the rest
of the country are concerned. cannot
be made, however, Immediately. Mr..
Lewis has thrown into the cam
paign a bomb which may prove a
dud or explode with loud repercus-
sions and great effect.
White-cOllar Vote Doubtful.
New Jersey Democrats today, when
they take down their back hair and
talk off the record, admit that, de-
spite polls of various kinds showing
Mr.. Roosevelt with big lead in
this State, they do not know exactly
what is going to happen. They ex-
press the belief that Mr.. Roosevelt
will carry the State. But they shake
their heads over the white-collar
vote. admitting they do not know
which way it will 60 this year. They
are worried over the big bloc of
Italian votes. AS one of them put
it: Thank heaven the stab-in-the-
back" speech was made by the PreSl-
dent long enough ago for some OF
the heat to have gone out OF the
Italians. If it had been made this
week, the effect in this State would
have been terrible.
The Democrats are counting prl-
marily on the labor vote, the Negro
vote, the vote of Jews, the vote OF
some of the foreign blocs. including
the Poles, the Scotch and the Brit
ish, hoping they will offset any losses
due to the detection of German
Americans. Italians and the Irish.
But most of all, the Democrats
are counting on, Mayor Frank Hague
of Jersey City. They are looking
to Mayor Hague to put the election
on ice for them-as he has done on
other occasions, with a machine that
votes 'em" as Hague directs. They
talk of a 150,000-vote margin out
of Hudson County-Mayor Hague's
bailiwick. In 1886 Mayor Hague
came through with a lead of 100000
votes, and Mr.. Roosevelt's margin
of victory throughout the State was
364, 900. That is tremendous mar
gin and the Democrats think back
on it with considerable satisfaction.
Desperate for Hague.
For Mayor Hague this campaign
is desperate, too. If Mr.. Roosevelt
wins, he expects to be immune, and
| if Mr.. Roosevelt loses, he can expect
anything. The legislative and United
States Senate Investigations of vote
stealing in Hudson County have re-
vealed situation which was guessed
by many. However, there is no in
| tention that the Hague machine will
work with any less assurance of any
less power at the coming election.
Mayor Hague himself claims Hudson
County for Mr.. Roosevelt by $4,000.
Next to Hudson County the Demo-
Gratis are relying on piling up big
vote in Camden, where the shipyards

loses or wins. I believe the men,
bers of the C. I. o. will repudiate
a leadership which ignores their
opinions and desires. A negligible
amount of his followers may trot
with him into the Willkie camp.
There may be also a small number
of pacifists, but they were against
Roosevelt, anyway"
Betrayal of Labor Charged.
Irving Abramson, first vice presi-
dent of the State C. I. O., said:
Lewis has betrayed organized labor
for the monied interests of Wall
Street. l repudiate him as my
leader" Phillip H. Van Gelder of
Camden, national Secretary-t treas
urer of the Industrial Union of Ma
rine and Shipbuilding Workers of
America, c. 1. O., said: Our union
is for Mr.. Roosevelt"

at least two cruiser divisions, sub
marine flotillas, and numerous de-
Stroyers and coastal patrol vessels.
Most of Fleet at Hawaii.
The main body of the fleet has
been retained in the vicinity of the
Hawaiian Islands since last April,
when ordered from the East Coast
for spring maneuvers.
OF seven battleShipS authorized in
the last six years, only two, the
Washington and North Carolina
have been launched. An additional
year of flttlng-out will be needed
before the vessels are commissioned
into the line.
Under terms of the Washington
conference seven battleShips and
four battle cruisers under conStruc-
ton were abandoned. In addition to
their tonnage of 465 800. this country
scrapped or sunk 100000 tons of
commissioned ships. These included
30 first and second line battleships
and battle cruisers. The conference
cost the Navy 767,880 tons.
Net Gain Third of Loss.
The 1880 London Naval Confer
ence cost the Navy an additional
309,l24 tons, of which $4,000 repre-
sented battleships. In addition, the
Wyoming was demilitarized and the
Utah was converted to a radio-con-
trolled mobile target. The era of
military de-emphasis in all took
1,077,O04 tons from the feet.
Against this in the last six years
the Navy has projected the building
of approximately 1000 900 new tons
for the feet in all categories. To
date, approximately 100000 new tons
have been commissioned. However,
in the meantime more than 10000
tons we're stricken from the Navy
list. Thus the net gain is about one
third of the tonnage scrapped. In
the new building program this
would amount to one-sixth of the
projected tonnage.
10000 Enlisted Men.
The Navy has added the aircraft
carrier Wasp. 26 new submarines
and 50 destroyers, as well as num-
Der of tenders and auxiliary vessels.
These comparative figures do not
include the so over-age destroyers
given the British or decommisSioned
vessels returned to service.
The Navy now has more than
10000 enlisted men and expects to
recruit 100000 more. This year
marks the first time in more than
20 years that Reservists have been
called to active duty. The first con-
