...problem finds its roots in the failure of the government to hand the colleges a specific definition of their part in the war effort. Until the time when an anachronistic Congress has either been reelected or repudiated, there is no prospect of such a blueprint. Like almost every other part of the universities' war effort, the details of the compulsory athletic program must be worked out by the individual institution. The decision that is made at Harvard should not be based on such a Student Council resolution motivated by difficulties of administration, though backed by members of the Dean...
Considering this fact, citizens who read about the 4,500,000 man-days in her making and the 1,100 miles of blueprint paper in her plans might remember torpedo planes, wonder whether it would not have been more practical to finish Passamaquoddy after all. They had all heard that the plane had made the dreadnought an anachronism, that the carrier was king, that the U.S. had already abandoned or postponed five projected 58,000-ton super-super-battleships.

Russia not only lacked factories, but the pencils and drafting boards to design them. There was only one blueprint machine in Moscow. Six months were taken up in compiling a Russian-English technical dictionary so that the U.S. engineers could make the Russians understand what they were talking about. Raw recruits from Russia's farms and city streets had to be converted into expert draftsmen and construction workers...
Last week the bill (passed 316-to-0 by the House and certain to sweep through the Senate), promising the U.S. the world's dominant navy by 1946, called for not one new battleship. In fact, the five 60,000-tonners, still in the blueprint stage, are going to stay thereat least for a long time. Their steel is to go for carriers, 500,000 tons of them. Also provided for are 500,000 tons of cruisers, 900.000 tons of smaller ships. Total cost of the five-ocean addition...
