The Master Shipbl,ildcr

once more the United States has resumed
~ its prinlacy as a builder of ocean car
riers. After tagging far in the rear for more
than sixty years, this country has concen-
trated its energies resources and engineering
talent upon industry which made it
famous among the nations of the world cen
tury ago. In less than eighteen months OF
intensive work il has achieved first rank as
producer Of ships; it has outdistanced Great
Britain, and in another year, or in two at
the outside will have the greatest merchant
marine on the waves that has ever sailed un-
der single flag
Up until June it was doubtful whether or
not American production had taken the lead
among maritime nations, but in July the ship
yards Of this country took leap forward i'll
the matter of tonnage commissioned, and
definitely assumed first place. In August
total of $50 tons Of shipping was pro-
duced here, as against 1S7,019 tons produced
in British yards. This brings the total for
the United States for the year ended August
81 up To 1.636,403, as against 1,545,S26 for
Great Britain.
That America has been able to accomplish
this splendid result is due, of course, solely
to war conditions. Face TO face with the grim
necessity OF providing transports and cargo
carriers from ports in this country TO those
OF Great Britain and France, the United
States put its shoulder to the wheel. 1t
created from the very GROUND up lllc iHOSt
wonderful system of shipbuilding plants the
world ever saw. 1t threw into the enterprise
the best America had in labor, i'll materials
and in brains, with the result that friends
and enemies alike have been astounded at the
achievements of the past year.
While all this was going on in America,
Great Britain making an uphill fight
against the subma rinc, and compelled to
reduce the normal amount of tonnage pro-
duced in its merchant shipyards. The pres
sure for additional naval vessels could not be
withstood, and with limited labor limited
materials and limited ship plant facilities it
was compelled to leave TO the United States
the larger part Of the ship construction bust
ness. That British builders have now taken
second place in this vital industry may cause
some Englishmen a measure of uneasineSs,
but the great body OF people in the British
empire will take at its full face value the
assurance of the American government that
the tonnage now being contributed by the
United States will be the asset of every allied
nation after the war as we'll as while the war
lasts. No effort will be made by the people
OF this country to profit in the worlds trade
after peace comes at the expense of the ma
tons who have stood faithfully with us in
this war.
