Secretary Adds That Auxiliaries
Properly Manned and Equipped
With American Seamen Are
Essential to Navy.
RALEIGH. N. C. Oct. 20. Secretary
Daniels in a speech at the North Caro
lina State Fair today said that the Ad
ministration proposed to equip its ship
yards and arsenals so they could com
pete with private plants under the Na
tional defense programme. No mo
nopoly was intended, he said, but this
measure would be adopted as a check
against excessive profits for private
manufacturers.
"The Government has invested many
millions of dollars in Navy-Yards,"
said the Secretary, "and unless this in
vestment is utilized for new construc
tion, much of it is wasted. If the Gov
ernment is prepared to construct
naval craft, private shipbuilding com
paniex in making contracts must com
pete with Government yards. This
tends to secure competitive prices and
prevent combinations among private
corporations to charge higher prices
than conditions Justify."
Price of Ponder Reduced.
Mr. Daniels said that the Govern
ment paid 80 cents a pound to a Gov
ernment manufacturer a few years ago
to make powder, but the Navy was
now making it at a cost of about 25
cents a pound. Torpedoes and mines,
lie said, were also being manufactured
by the Government at a great saving
of money.
"It has been ascertained by a spe
cial commission that the Navy," he
continued, "with a modern plant, can
manufacture armor plate for $230 to
$280. as against the non-competitive
prices of $425 to $486 a ton charged in
the last contract. Experience in Eu
rope teaches that the Navy should no
longer rely on private manufacturers
for projectiles. If Congress approves,
we will erect a large factory which will
turn out a large product of 14-inch
armor-piercinpr shells, as well as smaller
projectiles. Thin will insure better
shells and better competition."
The Secretary particularly directed
attention to the lack of ships in . the
American merchant marine to carry
American products to those who need
it and are willing to pay for it.
Auxiliaries Require American Crews.
"What the Navy needs, and in case
of trouble would need sorely," he added,
"are auxiliaries properly built and
equipped with trained Americans. A
merchant marine with foreign crews
is not an American need, either for
commerce or for defense."
Kxplaining why a five-year building
programme for the Navy was decided
upon, Mr. Daniels said: '
"Wise men in and out'Sof the Navy
believe that the programme, involving
an expenditure of $500,000,000. will giv
us a Navy well proportioned and far
better than so large a programme if it
should be authorized in piecemeal, year
by year."
Hope that an international' under
standing eventually might be reached
v the naval powers was expressed by
the Secretary.
"I trust," he said, "that this country
will take the initiative, and that steps
will be taken by a conference of all the
rowers to fliscuss reduction of the
heavy cost of the armies and navies of
ina world.

tion. One of the companies heard from
wrote that it would gladly grant leave
with pay to any of its men deslrinc: to
