shipbuilding plans and what may be
expected in the near future.
Ships are the burning question be-
tween the United States and her
allies. The British. French and Ital-
ian governments are all extremely
anxious for tonnage, and France is
particularly insistent on her needs.
The French high commission would
like to have American tonnage di-
verted to sending food to France
rather than more American soldiers
until France has at least enough food
to make her safe through the winter.
And there is also the highly import
ant question of munitions for the
armies in the field. There are on the
docks of Atlantic ports 1900, 900 tons
Of French munitions awaiting ships
to carry them to France. The French
high commission is so anxious about
these munitions that It has gone over
the heads Of the shipping board to
the war department to ask for yes
sells.
