Operations By M. K. WHITELEATHER (By Associated Press) BERLIN, Jan. 30.—Increased earnings, increased dividends and increased wages of ship building companies for 1935 tell the story} of Germany’s biggest naval build- ing year since the war. Aind if Dr. Hitler’s economic Schacht, dictator, Hjalmar can find the means, 1936 promises:.to be still a bigger year for only one-fourth of the sparkling new navy the nazis expect to con- struct has been tackled so far. The 1935 program called for a bit more than 107,000 tons while the completed navy is to be 420, 595 tons, The 1936 program preparation. under Among the big units is it will contain is an airplane car- rier which the nazis are eager to add to the rapidly growing swas- tika fleet. They want as soon as possible to add an air arm to the marine forces, No hints, however, have been given as to what sea plane equip- ment is intended. Far-Reaching Plan Seen Foreign navaT expefts say that the German naval construction program has been planned for a long time ahead—even beyond the 420,595 tons permitted by the Anglo-German treaty whieh al- lows the reich a navy equal to 35 per cent of Great Britain’s globe- encircling fleet. One of the most important ma- rine construction concerns, Blohm and Voss of Hamburg, declared a five per cent dividend on last year’s business, against four per cent in 1934. The same company tripled its expansion account for new docks and equipment and bol- stered other special accounts by similar amounts, It paid out twice as much in wages in 1935 as in 1934 and still wound up with $40,000 additional net profit. Total income was $9,- 616,400 and net income was $231,- 600. Silence Shrouds Navy Cost The company was able te make this jump in business although the naval building program officially did not go into effect until July —after half of the year had passed, The annual report says only) three commercial ships were con- structed by the yards. It simply, ignores mention of how many} fighting ships it built. Nor does it give any indication | as to how much Germany's new] navy is costing. This latter in- formation is withheld as a state secret. FOURTEEN ARRIVE» ON BOARD PLANE FOUR LEAVE YESTERDAY!
