To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
OUTLINE OF PROPOSED MEASURE. The personnel of officers and men is based on the tonnage of effect- ive ships. Increases or decreases of ships, due to authorization by Congress, or to sale or other disposal, will increase or decrease the personnel in a fixed proportion. In time, though, the increases in new tonnage will be offset by old ships struck from the list. Adequate provisions are made to guard against sudden fluctuations in the personnel. The ratio provided is 100 men and 5 line officers ...and midshipmen for every 2, 000 tons of ships, including ships authorized and building, the principle being followed that it takes as long to train the midship- men and enlist and train the men as it does to build the ships. With 1, 200, 000 tons of ships, as now authorized, the ultimate personnel would reach 3, 000 line officers and midshipmen and 60, 000 enlisted men; but under the measure as drawn, the full authorized strength of officers and men can not be reached for a number of years to come ; nor, in any case, except with the approval of the Congress year by year.
