Every one will recall how great
and nationwide was the enthusiasm
which was caused by the almost
magic like growth of our shipya rds
and the constant increase in the
number of completed ships. Mr..
Schwab takes pride and so does the
country in the fact that in less than
two years time we have built many
steel ships and put them into com

In other nations. especially in
Great Britain, something like aston

sudden development in the United

shipyards now exceeds that of any
other nation Should there be cor
