Rough Idea of Cost.

Navy planes, "it is so vast that it
makes one sick in contemplation. -
He agreed that an earlier estimate
Of about $4,000 per plane per year

The most difficult problem is the
determination of how to maintain
essential air power without bank
rupting the country" Gen. Marshall
said AT the present time. We are
building for a definite situation. It
will be quite different matter when
we are not focused on a particular

that four or five more ships might
be added by disseminating the pres
