A similar condition prevails in Brit

about $4,000 tons. will be contracted
for by the munitions board shortly.
There is as well a good deal Of pri-

working now on contracts for six large

France to Speed
Buying andBuildin9
OF Merchant Ships
Government Accepts Resolution
to Place Work Under Control
of One Department

Paris. June 23.AThe resolution
adopted by the Chamber Of Deputies to
place the work of increasing the
French merchant marine under the
control of one department was ac-
eepted By the government and voted
BY a show Of hands. The resolution,
signed by forty-four members OF the
Merchant Marine Committee, invited
the government to centralize the build
ing, buying and chartering Of mer-
chant ships, task which has been
divided among several ministers.
Louis Nail, Under Secretary for the
Mercantile Marine, answering criti-
cisms, said the French merchant fleet
was 100000 tons at the beginning Of
the war and since that time had lost
100000 tons, 100000 by acts of war.
During the same period 6S0,0oO tons
had been built or bought and another
10000 was on the stocks, so the feet
was actually greater now than before
the war.
Says Germany Is Bluffing
Secretary Nail pointed out that Ger
many had lost 100000 tons, so per
cent Of its entire feet, and declared
that reports that Germany was build
ing hundreds of ships were mere bluff.
Deputy Bouisson declared the Secre-
tary was too optimistic, that the mer-
chant fleet was in dangerous situa-
ton and that il was due to the gov
ernment's inertia. He said that ships
must be built at once or France would
not be able to feed herself. The
Deputy declared the question took
precedence over all others, even that
Of electives, and that England pre-
ferred 10 lend France ships and build
for herself. He concluded by demand
ing that the government insist on the
Allies giving France the help they owe
her.
Premier Ribot said he recognized the
situation was not satisfactory, but he
pointed out the difficulties in buying
ships. Commissioner Tardieu had
bought some in America and had asked
French owners 10 buy others, but the
