derson. president of the board of 'edu-
cation, who also is chairman of the
national advisory committee on war
output, addressing a conference OF the
Clyde shipwright workers tonight, ut
tered a grave warning concerning the
necessity of doing better than they
had yet done if the British mercantile
fleet is to be maintained at the proper
strength to support the extraordinary
demands made upon it
During the early days of the war,
he said, 'n order to assist the navy,
labor was transferred from merchant
shipping until it, was practically
brought to a standstill. But | want to
impress upon you that We can no
longer afford to neglect the construc-
tion of merchant ships. We have to
remember that the enemy is poastlhS
of the success of his submarine policE,
and there are other factors contribute
ing to the pressing demand for an m
crease of shipping tonnage.
