HOW THE
BRITISH NAVY
Helped to Carry American
Troops. Diverted Ships
From All
PARTS OF THE WORLD
PARTS OF THE WORLD

London, Dec. 9.-Regarding Brit
ish aid in the transport of American
troops the Shipping Controller Sat
urday made the following statemen
to The Associated Press:
"The real effort to accelerate thu
movement of American troops be
gan at the end of March, when WI
realized that it was necessary to dt
what we could with British bottoms
to supplement the American effotr
We sent mission to the United
States with the object of seeing the
fitting-out facilities there. So far
as they were not required for Amer.
ican troopsrips they were utilized
to the maximum in fitting out Brit.
ish troopships.
Ships were gathered from every
source, with the result that in the
six months between April and Sep
tember $4,000 American troops, or
so per cent of the total number car
ried within that period. were trans
ported in British\ bottoms. In all,
of the 1000 200, ,O0O-odd American
troops transported to France, well
over million were carried in Brit
ish shilN. The whole of this million
were escorted to the United King
dom danger zone by ships of the
Royal Navy British shipping at
that time was in 4 perilous situation,
but in order to further the move
ment of American troops we were
prepared to make every sacrifice.
THE following steps were taken:
From South Africa we removed ev-
cry passenger steamer, and for the
time being practically killed trade
with that country. From India and
Australia we removed all that the
fast steamers plying to and between
those two countries, and we made
very dangerous sacrifices of meat
supplies-endangering even those Of
the British Army-by transferring
these ships to the North Atlantic,
thus wasting refrigerator space, as
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 amount
ed to we'll over 1000, 100000 tons.
That sacrifice of imports was made
at time when our total imports
had been reduced to 100000
tons year. Of which 100000
were munitions and 100000 es-
sential foods, as compared with the
peace figure of 54,O0O,0O0 tons.
Cone hundred and seventy-fve
British vessels of more than 1900
900 tons deadweight were put espe
cially in the service of carrying Am
erican troops, and we even fitted up
ships for that purpose.
while the sacrifice to Great Brit
ain was heavy, the practical isola-
tion for the time being of the over
seas dominions involved very seri-
Gus hardships--which were borne
without cot,plaint-recognizing as
the dominions did the vital necessity
of the measures taken"
