"As Britain's great effort of the
first year Of the war was to create a
huge army. as her great effort for the
second and third year was TO create
an in~exaustible supply of munitions,
so the great effort of the fourth year
must be not only in Great Britain but
also in America to create a merchant
navy to replace submarine losses and
supply the constantly increasing de
