lea, Says George j.
Baldwin
PRELIMINARY STAGES
OF BUILDING OVER
Actual Race for Speedy Con-
struction Under
Way

Chicago, April l2.-American ship
building, the most vital factor in Amer
lean war activities, was discussed by
one in the thick of the practical work
yesterday at the meeting of the shipping
section of the Chamber of Commerce OF
the United States, which is holding its
sixth annual meeting here.
The speaker was George j. Baldwin
chairman of the board Of the American
international Shipbuilding corporation
which operates the Hog Island and two
other yards, president of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company and chairman of the
board of the New York Shipbuilding Co.
Mr. Baldwin expressed the view, now
shared in many quarters, that the con-
struction of 100000 lightweight tons of
shipping can be expected of American
yards in 1918. He estimated approx
mately the same tonnage from other
countries.
He asserted that the preliminary stage
of the building of fabricated ships is
over and the actual race for speedy con-
structon under way. He thought the
maximum efforts of the U.boats had
been reached In 1919, he said. Ameri-
can shipbuilding would be in full swing,
fulfilling all demands upon it.
Speed, according to Crawford Vaughn,
former premier of South America, in his
address on Labor in Shipyards," should
be Americas battle cry. "There must,
