About Ocean Tonnage.

Total ocean going vessels now af1oat is about S0,000 with gross tonnage of about 45.o03 900 tons. Losses of shipping during the war have totalled about 8,7S3 0sO tons and the supply of ships is about 20 per cent short of normal. The enormous war needs for intuition ships and troop ships added to those bottled up in neutral harbors leave a relatively small number of ships for carrying food. Shipbuiiding in France has been at a standstiil since the beginning of the war. Eng lands output is less than normal Japan is hempered by lack of mater ials.
