The organization, which was moth
ing at the beginning, has been expand
ed to vast proportions and beaten into
efficiency. The labor problem has been
tardily faced and its solution has been
worked out. Strikes are now settled
quickly. and soon will disappear alto
gether. Coordination has been estab-
lished between all the sources Of sup
ply Of materials, parts and equipment

are being trained faster than they are
required. Forethought is disposing Of
the question Of supplying seamen be-
fore it presses. Harmonious under
standings have been reached with the
builders. New yards are being licked
into shape. The three great fabricat-
ing plants are being rushed TO compile
ton. A stupendous amount of prepare
tory work is being done, which, though
it does not give us ships now, is going
to give them in a steady stream OF
unprecedented volume within a short

What the Board Has
Done for the Allies

Aside from construction the board
is accomplishing wonders. 1t has taken
over the control and direction Of all
American oceangoing ships Of $500
tons or more and is utilizing them as
unit to serve the interests Of America
and Of the Allies. 1t has pressed into
service many neutral vessels and is
Getting more. 1t has modified for
American use 100, 900 tons Of French
sailing vessels that could not operate
in the war zone. Il has brought a con-
siderable tonnage from the Great Lakes
70 ocean service. 1t has been able 70
divert-or will soon--280,00O tons to
the transport assistance of France, and
il has fastened TO the aid Of Italy with
100000 tons. II has even helped Brit
ain with oil tanker.
Forgetting the troubled past, it may
now be said that the Shipping Board
and the Emergency Fleet Corporation
are doing well. Their task is huge,
completely dwarfng anything Of the
kind ever undertaken before. They un-
derstand that everything else con-
tributary 20 winning the war turns on
their efforts. They are on the job.
Their work is to convert the potential
military energy Of America into XII
netic. TO translate power into action.
They will doubtless make many mis-
takes and waste much money. but
money can be we'll wasted if time be
conserved.
Time is Of the essence Of this war.
Wasted money may be only wealth
misplaced. but wasted time is total
and irreparable loss. The Shipping
Board has an abundance Of everything
save time. u will stand or fall as It
economies time. speed, speed and
more speed" must be its slogan. 1t
may yet be written that ship in time
won the great war of all wars. In the
plans and in the achievements Of the
Shipping Board repose the hegemony
Of the world and the shaping Of its
destiny.

Building Will Soon
Equal U-Boat Loss

The monthly output Of ships already
attained is about equal TO one-third Of
the average monthly rate of destruc-
ton by the submarines for the last
eight months and is fully half the pres
ent rate Of destruction II will not be
long before the Fleet Corporation will
be able to issue weekly bulletins Of
construction that will Offset the weekly
announcements of sinkings, unless the
submarines make great gains over their
present rate. We are already building
ships four times as fast as they were
built in 1916 and eight times as rapidly
as in 1915, and all Of this before many
new yards or any Of the fabricating
plants have started to produce. We
shall undoubtedly build during 1918 at
least 100000 tons gross, or about
6.OOO. 900 tons dead weight.
The end of tie current year will see
1000 900 tons Of new shipping com
pleted. besides the putting into com
mission of III interned German and
Austrian ships Of more than 100000
tonnage. The latter is a great feat in
itself, considering that the machinery
of every vessel had been wrecked and
that the Germans boosted that 1t would
take years to complete the repairs.
