Rear Admiral Amiel McGowan warns in his annual report to Secretary Daniels that navy stores have not kept pace with a 830 percent rise in ship power and tonnage. He cites $459,686,551 in warships, $206,635,104 in star equipment, and $184,298,726 in stores as a showing of economy that cannot continue.
