BY using the deadweight ton. however.
the shipping Board emphasized the ex-
cess OF production Of American tonnage
over sea losses. while the Admiralty $
employment OF the gross ton lessened the
apparent gap between the tonnage built
and the greater amount sunk.
Through its departure from the usual
practice by making the deadweight ton
It's standard the Shipping Board made
he comparison OF American tonnage
with that OF Great Britain difficult and
created the impression that the lead of
the United States in ship production was
much greater than II actually was. To-
day, as matter OF fact, Great Britain
has millions more gross tons of seagoing
vessels than this country.
Before the civil war the United States
led the world in the construction and op-
Grafton Of merchant shipping. But when
that conflict ended England. our closest
competitor for years, held the CONNER.
cial supremacy OF the seas.
In the gap OF half century between
that conflict and the one just ending
Great Britain gained a seemingly un-
breakable hold upon maritime mastery
and the United states shrank from a
first class to n third rate ocean Power.
The contrast was most marked Just
before the beginning OF the latest war

double her pre-var tonnage; America to

China has entered the lists. Holland and

phasized the point that the amount OF
space available for cargoes in the North
Atlantic had been doubled and that In
stead Of cargo competing Tor space space
was already competing for cargo. Con-
sul-General Skinner by cable from Lon
don to Washington reported similar con-
ditions.
warning against overexpansion OF
the shipbuilding programmes OF the
United States and other nations was
sounded In a recent speech at Baltimore
by Sir II. Darlington Smith, Assistant
Commissioner for Great Britain In this
country, In eighteen months, he said.
British yards would make good the de-
struction Of British shipping during the
war. and during that time the output OF
American and other yards would con-
tnue to add to existing tonnage at q
ia pid rate.
And unless sane and long views are
taken and suitable measured concerted"
he added, at Ia probable that in three
or four years time the worlds shipping
will be largely in excess of the world s
needs. with disastrous results for ship
owners and shipbuilders."
These are only few OF many opin-
ions in similar vein. In their wake
comes the announcement by Chairman
Hurley OF the United States Shipping
Board. made on the eve Of his departure
from Europe, that the work OF creating
great merchant feet which would
make this country independent OF the
shipping OF other nations would be car
ried out.
The peril Of overproduction is an i'm
minent one. but II is only one of many
difficulties with which the American
shipping situation is surrounded to-day
