present owners will manage
their yards under government
directions. SIX hundred and

The aggregate tonnage is over

The shipyards and owners
of vessels will receive compen-
sation for their construction
work so far. The government
will take over contracts and eX-
pedite completion to make
room for more emergency YES
sells to overcome the submarine
losses.
Speed will be accomplished
by the addition of overtime la
Dor, additional shifts and the
elimination of unnecessary
luxuries. The governments
ready access to steel and other
shipping materials make the
problem simple compared
with the drawbacks the private
builders faced. The govern

served by the shipping board

realize their mistake. There must be
