Tor example, though wo havo been ablo to obtain In Europe almost any price, we have adhered, In our oharges to tho United States Government, to tho basis of prices established before tho war began. Wo agreed—If the Government would abandon Its plans for .a Federal plant— to mako armor for our Navy- at any prtco the Government Utelf might con sider /air.

One of the special needs of the now navy Is slxtcon-lnch guns—guns sixty feet long and capablo of hurtling a. 2000 pound shell with such power and accuracy aB to hit a 60 fool tquare tar get fifteen miles away. ' We have undertaken voluntarily to construct, at a coat of $4,600,000, a plant fitted to build slxteen-lncb guns. Under no conceivable circumstances can orders which we may receive for this plant pay even a fair return on the Investment. Considerable comment has been made upon the fact that a British manufac turer recently bid less than American manufacturers for sixteen and four teen-inch shells, for tho navy. I am unable, to state the basis upon which the English bid was made. It should bo remembered, however, that this bid was for a specific shell, sam ples of which aro being sent over for test-a test hot yet made.

Two years ago wo took an order tot 2400 fourteen-inch armor-plerclng shells at a contract pglce of $768,000, to be delivered within a certain time or we had to pay a large penalty. Tho only specifications for making these shells aro that they Bhall be of a certain size and must pierce armor-plate at a certain velocity on Im pact. It is impossible to foretell the exact conditions of the tests. , We bad made large quantities of shells In the post which had been accopted. But in placing this particular order the Department altered the angle at which The_ result, however, has been In fact, we The result is that up to now on that ontract of $768,000, we have put Into ctual operating expense $447,881., and $495,744., a total of $843,626. receipts whatever. with no Buch was tho experience la the light of which we were called upon recent- < -ly to bld'fOr-alxteen-liich Shglls. We bid on these shells at approxi mately the same rate per pound as that of a fourteen-inch shell contract of one year ago upon which tke Gov ernment awarded contracts. We have not the slightest Idea what profit there will be In the mahlng of these BheUs. We die not know that there wiU be any. Thera Is no certain, ty that It would be possible for ns to deliver a shell to meet the test. For officers in tbs Navy to assume that any bid made under such condi tions Is "exorbitant” is utterly unfair. We bid on the new battle-cruisers sums which Navy department experts, after examination of our hooks, found would yield a profit of less than tsn per cent. We agreed to assume risks for Increased costs of materials and la bor, that made it possible that these contracts might yield no profit what ever. The costs run beyond the amount ap propriated by Congress on the basis of the cost estimates made a year ago. " ■ 5 could net And because shipbuilders alter the Inexorable cost facts and re duce bids to early estimates of the Navy Department, the prices are called "exorbitant."
