' Washington, Sept. 12. —Complete plans for scrapping the American bat tie ships and battlecruisers doomed by the armament conference have been facefuliy worked out by the technical experts of the Navy Department. 1 The order from the Secretary of the ' Navy for “full steam ahead” on the scrapping program probably will be held up until the last of the five powers in the agreement have definitely ’ ratified the navaf treaty. England, Japan and the United States had ratified and it is understood in official circles that France will ratify the pact in the early autumn. It is an open secret that Italy ' only waits on France's action before falling into line. So far the only steps toward carry- ' ing out the scrapping program has been the disposal by competitive sale ’ of six of the. older battleships that were included in the treaty list. These 1 ships were practically obsolete and would have gone the junk-pile route in due course, even had there been no limitation conference. Similar action is being taken by 1 England and Japan, the ships that are being destroyed by them- being the , older ones on the list, that like our 1 own. had outlived their usefulness. Passage of a scrapping bill by Con- . gress gives the chief executive the power to order the work of scrapping the doomed warships as soon as the , formal exchange of ratifications takes , place. Except for an item of $5,000.000 for payment to certain suit-con-tractors for work completed, for the care of the ships to be scrapped, for 1 inventories and other necessary expenditures, no funds have yet been provided by Congress. Will Cos’ $70,000,000 Cancellation of contracts and incidental expenses in connection with ! cutting off of the building program will require an appropriation of about $70,000,000, according to departmental estimates. The actual disposal of I I ; the vessels, however, naval officials hope will bring some returns. This is J true, particularly of the old vessels, s for there is considerable brass and I lead in them in addition to the steel. ' i In making plans to scrap the ships. ’ there are two distinct problems to be faced. One of these, the simpler one, I is the disposal of the dozen old ships. ' j Regarding the disposal of these, tile I I scrapping board recommend that they ■ i be offered for sale to wrecking firms i for junk after all equipment of value to the Navy had been take off. Provided purchasers can be found. It is under stood that this means of disposal will ' be adopted. In case there are no bid'iders for them, the Navy will have to ’ ; undertake the work of cutting them up ■ cr must take them to sea and sink 1 1 them. While there have been tentative suggestion from Germany, Sweden and I Holland that bids might be forthcomj ing from abroad, the recent failure of ' the British to get more than a nominal • sum for a number of their old battle ships has a tendency to discount any ' optimism in this direction. While the old ships could be used — as the British are doing—as targets for the fleet, giving airships submarines and battleships all valuable training, there is a feeling in naval circles that the economic waste in sending to the bottom all this metal should be avoided if possible. Ships Now Building The second and more difficult problem confronting the board was the disposal of the ships now building. Here the recommendation of the board was that these vessels be sold on the stocks to the highest bidders to be broken up and the scrap disposed of. The practical difficulty of having wrecking gangs come into private yards or navy yards even probably will lead to the adoption of a different plan. It is understood that ifi the eases of the four ships building in private yards, the final disposal of the hulls will be taken up in the negotiations over the settlement with the contractors for the cancellation of the contracts. It is the opinion of many officers that it will be possible to make satisfactory arrangements with the

shipyards building them to undertake the work of breaking them up. In the ease of the four battleships and two battlecruisers building in navy yards, the board recommended that the hulls be sold as they stand to commercial firms. Two of the battlecruisers are at the Philadelphia yard, work on them only havinng been fairly started before the stoy order was issued. Two battleships at the New York yard—the South Dakota and Indiana—are well on way to completion as is the Montana at Mare Island and the North Carolina at the Norfolk yard.
