This situation prompted the suggestion that freight should b re-routed over the less congested lines. At St. Louis. conditions are consid- ered excellent, Congestion at Cleveland, Taledo Columbus and Indianapolis is causci almost entirely by the inability of thr Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsil- vania to move trains through Pittsburgh freight iam.

When this ideal is attained (if ever) we could bring to bear in either ocean a minimum ef- fective fleet of 36 scout and 103 de- stroyers. Of course, in addition to these there should be a more or less extensive fleet of auxiliaries, fuel ships, ammunition ships, food ships, repair ships, hospital ships, mine lay- ers, transports, tugs and tenders. There remains to be determined the number of submarines and aircraft needed to complete our defense. The cope of activity of naval aircraft is still largely problematical, but we arc safe in assuming that we need at least two effective machines for each scout and that probably three machines are necessary to insure that one may al- be effective. This would give us in all a very modest air fleet of 324 machines, or an cffective fleet at all times of 108 machines, When we come to d rines we take up a vast subject.
