British Ships Of a Million

London, Dec. Regarding British
aid in the transport Of American
troops, the shipping controller today
made the following statement TO the
Associated Press
The real effort to accelerate the
movement of American troops began
at the end of March, when we real
lied that it was necessary to do what
we could with British bottoms to sup
plement the American effort. We
sent u mission to the United States
with the object of seeing the fitting
out facilities there SO far as they
were not required for American troop
ships they were utilized to the maxi
mum in fitting out British troopships.
Ships were gathered from every
source, with the result that in six
months between April and September,
$4,000 troops or 60 per cent of the
total number carried within that pc
riod were transported in British bot
toms. In all of the 2.0G0, ,000-o odd
American troops transported to
France. well over a million were car
ried in British ships. The whole of
this million were escorted to the Unit
ed Kingdom danger zone bv ships of
the royal navy. British skipping at
that time was in perilous situation
but in order to further the movement
of American troops we were prepared
to make every sacrifice
Ikilied southern Trade.
'The following steps We're taken:
From South Africa we removed every
passenger steamer and for the time
being practically killed trade with that
country. From India and Australia
we removed all the fast steamers ply
ing to and between those two coun-
tries and we made very dangerous
sacrifices of meat supples-endan-
gered even those of the British army
by transferring these ships to the
north Atlantic, thus wasting refrig
crater space, o meat was not available
for export from North American
ports.
"Our loss of essential imports ow
ing to the fitting out of ships for the
carriage of American troops amounted
to well over 1000 600 tons, That sac
rifice of imports was made at a time
when our total imports had been re-
duced to $4,000 900 tons a wear, Of
which 14.000,0 900 were munitions and
/ Z. 600 900 essential foods, rs compared
with the peace figure of 54,OOo,OOOI
tons
"One hundred and seventy five
British vessels of more than 100000
tons dead weight were put specially in
the service of carrying American
troops and we even fitted up fight
ing ships for that purpose. While the
sacrifice toGreat Britain was heavy,
the practical isolation for the time be-
ing of the overseas domnions in
volved very serious hardships to those
omnions--hardship which were
borne without complaint, recognizing
as the dominions did, the vital neces-
sity of the measures taken
