 Unless substantial aid is given Am ercan shipr ing, he said, "our ships will be swept from the seas and the immense fleet, constructed during and after the World War might just as well be scrapped without batteship program of 1916, and our competl- tors placed in undisputed possession of our foreign commerce."

BRITISH CRISIS IS
 NOT SMOOTHED OUT
Coalition Members Arc Working Hard to Prevent Brcak-Prcmicr Yet Undecided.

London, March (By The, Asso- ciated Press)-Austen Chamberlains declaration of the soldity of the cabi- net behind Mir. Lloyd George, has had little appreciable effect on the situa- ton which threatens to bring about the resignation of the prime minister, in the opinion of the majority of the political writers in the morning news papers.
 It is generally conceded that the crisis continues at an acute stage, and even the journals most anxious to preserve the Coalition government, frankly admit that the position IS about as serious as it possibly can be. No very important development IS looked for until after the weekend. Mir. Lloyd George has gone to Cheq- uers Court, his country estate, where he will have as his guests over sun day, Mr. Chamberlain, Lord Chancel- Tor Birkenhead, Sir Arthur Balfour and probably Sir Robert Horse, and possibly Andrew Bonar Law and the whole situation will naturally be ex- haustively discussed.
 Meanwhile, the friends Of the coalition are continuing their efforts to avert the crisis.
 movement is reported among the conservative coalitionists Tn the House of Corhmons, who disagree with the "Die Hards' to get together at the earliest opportunity and formulate an address to the premier assuring hlnl of their support and urging him to re- main at the helm.
