Washington, Feb. 20 Oversees
ship tonnage available to America
and the Allies passed its low point
about February /, several weeks
earlier than shipping experts had
predicted. yas 3, Z I; :,
Officials believe the upward curve
will continue until the war is ended
unless difficulties not now foreseen
are encountered. @ IS 'ti2-.sSt
4 In support Of this belief attention
was called today to the satisfactory
results obtained in the campaign
against the enemy submarines, / 70
the fact that. government ships nov
are coming from American yards,
and to the progress of negotiations
for neutral vessels to be used in the
non-hazardous trades to release 9th
er shipping for overseas commerce.
". Experts' Prediction.
When experts first plotted 1.-The
curve of the tonnage supply, taking
into consideration the greatest ;sue-.
cess Of submarines and all posslBas
contingencies in. the domestic situa-g
ton they found that the numbeB Of
vessels axailablea for transporfnE !;

(. For the last three weeks now aAe
charts of the shipping board h4%e
shown aesteady a upward, trend. Of
ficials think that from now on nov
factors will aid rather than retard
the efforts to put more ships into
service. Chief of these will be no
strictions Of imports, made efee-
tive February 16, the results Of
which will not be noticeable ,fsr
weeks yet. AS more ships are need
ed they will be withdrawn from the
neutral trade and commerce with
those countries curtailed to that e.

Officials declined to say what WIS
the dominating factor in checking
the decline in available tonnage. Ds-
spite labor troubles confidence is ez-
pressed that the goal of four ruillion
tons of shipping will be reached m
this country this year. Sailing YES
sells, of which there are 2,500,0ee
tons under the American flag, are
being put into the coastwise and
