first quarter OF 1916 there were or
hand. partially constructed, ONLY S2,s5S
tons in English yards. a. compared
with 100000 tons il the :hird quarter
The most striking Of al comparisons
is 10 be drawn from the snipbuildirg
figures fo- the United States ARD Eng
land. In 1916. probably for the FIST
time in history, Uncle Sam had built
nearly as much merchant tonnage as
John Bull. America completed IN the
last year $4,000 tons, only $4,000 tons
below the British mark.
The United States had constructed
in 1916 more than twice the tonnage
produced in 1915. which was 100000. Az
the present moment there are in this
country four hundred merchant yes
sells OF various types under coRstrue-
ton. These vessels represent an aggre-
gate gross tonnage Of 10000.
Even more remarkable ia the increase
in Japan's merchant tonnage output.
The Oriental nation had built dunng
1915 two and half times more new
merchant tonnage than in 1915. In the
latter year Japan produced $4,000 tons,
as compared with 246,00o for last year.
