GERMAN TENDERS
WARSHIPS FOR BRAZIL MACHINERY FOR NAVAL BUILDING OFFERS REJECTED (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 7.45 p.m.) London, April 10. Mr Hector Bywater, the naval correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, emphasizes the fact that three German firms tendered for the construction of Brazilian cruisers, destroyers and submarines, but the tenders were disallowed on the ground that building would be contrary to the Versailles Treaty. It is proof that Germany is now in a position to build all types of warships. The German Patent Office in recent years has granted hundreds of patents dealing with naval construction. Details of all the applications concerning war material are secret. The Krupp factories at Essen possess machinery capable of producing naval guns of the largest calibre.
