The hearts of our people went out to you and to your people As the embodiment of the determine tion the courage and heroisln of France, you have been accepted and
 received. Nearly all of you, I am told are battle-scarred veterans. You are members of an army which has never known defeat. and you are representa- tives Of people who would rather die than not be free.
 You are going back to your own country-still, thank God. your own and when you get there you will find that the small beginning of our army which you left there has grown into La mighty manifestation When YOU left France. the American army was there in small representation, but , now more than 100000 Americans have sailed from their shores to carry back to your army and your people the en- couragement and assistance which I.a- Fayette and Rochambeau brought to America in the early and strugglirr q days of American freedom.

They and you are about to accomplish wonders in the world of winning a victory which will forever put the stamp of mankind $ approval upon the true theory of civili- zaton.

BUILDING PROGRAMME

"Our programme calls for the buiId- ing of 1856 passenger, cargo, refrig- orator ships and tankers, ranging from 5000 to 12,000 tons each, with an ag- gregate deadweight tonnage of 13,000,- 900. Exclusive of this we have 245 communicated vessels taken over from foreign and domestic owners, which are being completed by the emergency fleet corporation. These will agSre- gate total deadweight tonnage of 1,715, 900.
 This makes a total of 21o1 vessels exclusive of tugs and barges which are being built and will be put on the seas by the emergency fleet corpora tion in the course of carrying out the present programme, with an aggregaie deadwoight tonnage of 14,715,0oo
 Five billion dollars will be re- quired to finish our programme for 1918. 1919 and 1920. but the expendi- ture of this enormous sum will give to the American people the greatest merchant fleet ever assembled in the history of the world. aggregating 25,- 00n.000 tons.
 NEARLY A MILLION AT WORK
 American workmen have made the expansion of recent months possible and they will make possible the sue cessful conclusion of the programme. From all present expectations it is likely that by 1920 we shall have close to million men working on Ameri- can merchant ships and their equip E,ent.
 We have a total of S19 shipways in the United States. Of these a total of 75l. all of which except 90 are completed, are being utilized by the emergency fleet corporation for the building of American merchant ships.
 "ln 1919 the average tonnage of steel, wood and concrete ships con tinuously building on each way should be about 5000 tons. If we are using 15i ways on cargo ships and can av- craze three ships year per way we should turn out in one year 1S,51S,0 900 tons.
 The total gross revenue of our fleet is very impressive. From the ships under the control of the ship ping board total gross revenue is derived of about $36O 900 000''
