WASHINGTON, May 10. - An

out recent unofficial statements here
on the submarine situation II has
been no secret that officials have

Merchant ship construction by
the United States and the allies

policy Of building an enormous

decided effect on German morale.
Every submarine sent to the bottom

becomes increasingly harder to re-
place.
