TAKES ALL STEEL SHIPS
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Notice Given to Owners of American
Yards That Government Com.
handlers Contracts.

Tho government will commander i'm
mediately all ship-building contracts for
steel ships under construction In Ameri-
made by Gen Goethals, general manager
of the emergency fleet corporation, to
steel shipbuilders called into conference.
There are about 100000 tons of
shipping now under construction which
will thus come under the United States
flag. More than 1000. 900 of this tonnage
Is for Great Britain, which voluntarily
releases the contracts to the United
States government. Scandinavian ma
tions. which have asked consideration
for their shipping program, also will
suffer largely.
There is no present intention to COM
mandeer the yards, the shipping men
were informed by Gen. Cocktails. II they
speed up and meet the government re-
quirements. This program contemplates
and then the construction Of steel ships
according to standard.
Expected to Speed Up Work.
Tho yards are expected to hurry the
work by instituting a system Of double
and even triple shifts, SO that the prog
ress will be continuous night and day
Gen. Goethals has notified the shipbuild-
ers that they are expected to turn out
within the next eighteen months fully
100000 tons OF steel shipping and as
much more as possible Steel companies
have agreed to furnish material to build
100000 month.
The question is as to the capacity Of
the yards working at full speed. To de-
termine this factor, Gen. Goethals called
upon shipbuilders for accurate surveys Of
their plants as to what is on the ways
and the capacity for production during
the next eighteen months.
No statement was made regarding
wooden ship yards. 1t is understood to
be intended that the government will COM
mandeer such wooden vessels as it may
require.
Explains Governments Attitude.
The attitude of the government. as
set forth by Gen. Goethals. means
that the needs Of the United States in
shipping facilities will come first and
that of it's allies second. II it Is pos
sible. ships and food will be appor-
toned to neutrals. after the greater
considerations are satisfied
1t was made clear that the shipping
board will not operate ships itself.
merely chartering them for single or
continuous voyages. This will relieve
the board OF the details Of operating
large fleets, but under it's control of
shipping it still can direct the use of
any vessel 1t owns or those owned by
private concerns.
The government. 1t was said today.
is determined that in Communicating
ships it will not pay fictitious values.
but will force sellers to take actual
valuations for their property.
