SCRAPPING OF SHIPS t WOULD SAVE MILLIONS I Senator Kelley Says Taxpayers Would Save $150,000,000 to I $200,000,000 a YearT t 3 Representaitve Kelley of Michigan c ' Chairman of the sub-committee on e 1 naval affairs of the Committee on t Appropriations, said Saturday: . | 1 "The proposal is to scrap all old c * ships up to the Delaware. That 1 means we would have seventeen or ' .19 dreadnoughts, most of which ^ are not over six or eight years old. ' We have recently added three ships t which are the most powerful in the world. The plan would leave Japan with a proportionate strength that would not exceed 40 per cent of ^ ' ours. When we were through with ^ canceling the 1916 program we * " should save $150,000,000 a year, * and perhaps $200,000,000. Even if ^ we saved $150,000,000 annually the * investment would be enormous. "This year we spent $410,000,000 on the navy, of which $90,000,000 was for construction. That 1 leaves $320,000,000, and I believe we could cut this sum in half for annual maintenance after the expense of scrapping the 1916 program was through. That cancellation would cost about $300,000,000 in addition to the $332,000,000 the Secretary I mentioned today. The $300,000,000 I would go for cancelled claims. I "We have one type of ship far in excess of what we would be permitted to keep?the destroyer. We have 300 new destroyers, and we would . be allowed to retain seventy-five or 100. All are new. I believe we could find a market for the temaining &00, perhaps in the South American countries. "Under" the new plan it seems to me we would have about 30,000 to 35,000 men in our navy, whereas we have today about 106,000." Mr. Kelley said he believed many of the 10,000 officers now in the navy would resign if they had this opportunity to do so. He stated that the surplus of officers under the , greatly reduced personnel could be used, in many instances, where civiIlians now are employed.
