Eng|and's Need for Ships
Now Paramount of War,
Says Lord Eustace Percy

shipping with us is dominant
question and the position OF the allies
in this regard is serious. Construction
in British yards cannot possibly meet
the present rate at which our ships are
heing sunk by German submarines.
Both England and the United States
will have to speed up to meet IT."
In these words Lord Eustace Percy
this morning gave to newspaper corre-
spondents details of the shfppin situa-
ton, which members of the British mis-
sion have impressed upon this govern
ment as one of the most important
problems now facing the allies.
The British tonnage in direct naval
and military service, under regulation
of the government for carrying NUM-
tons and troops, is about "a per cent
of the total shipping tonnage Of the
United Kingdom.
From % to "a per cent is operating
under an arrangement with big lines
by which from so to so per cent OF
their space is reserved for wheat and
munitions and other war needs. This
leaves only from 20 to % per cent Of
the total tonnage free from requisition,
and of this tonnage by far the greater
part represents passenger liners.
Must Supply Her Allies.
Before the war the carrying trade of
the world fell upon British tonnage,
and this is still true in European wat
ers. In the far east the United States
depends upon British carriers for jute
from India, wool from Australia, hides
from Africa and rubber and tin from
British territory.
By the end of March the number Of
vessels registered in the United King
dom IN carry this trade numbered less
than 200.
80 far as the British empire 10 con-
cerned we could be quite comfortable"
Lord Percy said. 'if we wished to use
these ships In our service alone: we
could carry all the wheat of the United
Kingdom The exportable surplus of
wheat in the British empire is now l0,-
900, 900 tons, whereas the consumption
calls for but 100000 tons. But we are
under moral obligation to supply the
allies"
In the third week Of April. Lord
Percy stated, forty ships had been
sunk by German submarines. The to-
tai losses Of tonnage have been with
held, even from parliament.
