Over 3 Million Tons
Of Cargo Ships Sunk
In War, US. Reports
Imperfect Estimate Shows
British Losses Greatly
Exceed Axis Powers

BY the Associated Press.
The known toll of the war at sea
was placed at 3,619,624 gross tons of
merchant shipping in a Maritime
Commission compilation today
which recorded sharply lower losses
than German or British figures.
The compilation, covering the
period from September 3, 1899, to
December Z, 1910, listed 964 mer-
chant vessels reported lost and
missing in the war. Because the
announcement of some losses are
withheld for military purposes, how
ever. the list offered an imperfect
basis for comparison with the rival
claims of belligerentS.
The commissions total included
436 British ships Of 1.765 ,851 gross
tons. with the tonnage of two of the
vessels unknown; TO German ships
of 386,63O gross tons, and l6 italian
SHIPS Oh Z.OlO gross tt)ilS.
Nazi Claims Much Higher.
The German high command, in a
review of the first IA months of the
war at sea, claimed that at least
1852. 200 tons of enemy shipping
or shipping usable by the enemy"
had been sent to the bottom. Vessels
sunk by mines or fighting ships were
not included.
Unofficial British estimates, COW
ering an additional two months,
placed combined neutral and British
losses at approximately 5,500,000
tons-a total rapidly approaching
the record of 7759,OO0 tons lost in
the 1914-18 World War period.
At the outbreak of the war in 1899,
Britain's merchant tonnage was more
than q 100000. AS the conflict pro-
gressed. she acquired an additional
100000 tons from allied nations,
and launched another 100000 tons
of new shipping during the first
year, according to available infor-
nation.
Next to the British, heaviest losses
were among ships of Norwegian
registry, with 129 of 344803 gross
tons reported sunk or missing.
Losses of Other Nations Listed.
Losses of other nations in number
of ships and gross tonnage were
listed as follows:
Argentine, one and 1925; Belgian,
81 and 1888; Danish, 40 and 1888:
Egyptian, one and 3,400; Estonian, IL
and 123l9; Finnish, 26 and 58,051;
French, 33 and 170.1O3; Greek, Al
and 182,028; Hungarian, one and
4.295; Japanese, one and 1880;
Latvian, one and 4434: Lithuanian.
three and 4,037; Netherlands, al and
1878: Panamanian, eight and 49,
342; Spanish, four and 10063;
Swedish, IA and 171969; Russian.
one and 968; Yugoslav. five and
25.553.
Many of the ships of neutral
registry can be counted as lost
from the British supply service. 1t
has been estimated, for instance,
that 80 per cent of Norways mer-
chant fleet was bought into British
service after the German invasion.

Commissioners Reject
Plea for Hanqar Fund

The Commissioners formally re-
jected today the proposal Of Brig.
Gen. Albert L. Cox Of the District
National Guard that the District
government provide $4,000 Of the
cost of erecting hangar at Belts
vile, Md, to be used by the 12lst
Observation Squadron. The Com
miSSioners previously had indicated
they could not approve the request.
In their letter to Gen. Cox, the
Commissioners said:
THE Commissioners have given
this matter very careful considera-
ton but cannot approve this request,
as there are no District of Columbia
funds available for this purpose.
Furthermore, the Commissioners are
of the opinion that they are without
! authority to initiate this project
without specific congressional ap-
proval."
The District Guard recently was
/ allocated one of eight observat ton
squadrons. There were 80 States
competing for the units. Gen. Cox
warned the Commissioners the Dis.
trict Guard might lose its squadron
unless arrangements are made soon
for complete financing of necessary
| facilities.
In addition to the $50 900 item for
construction, it was figured the an
nual maintenance would cost about
S85 900.

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-Thomas
w. Lamont said today that for us
deliberately to enter the war now
is neither necessary nor desirable y
He made the assertion in speech
before a luncheon meeting of the
Merchants Association of New York.
It was broadcast over the N. B. c.
blue network.
Although he urged Congress to
formulate whatever amendments
may be essential for quick passage
of the administration bill to aid
Britain, the vice chairman of the
board of j. P. Morgan g. Co., Inc,
said ito my mind there Is not much
use in arguing whether this or that
step will lead us into war"
The issue of peace or war" he
said, rests, not with us, but with
Hitler"
He said businessmen are dead set
against any efforts toward appease-
ment" and added:
"Appeasement would mean pros
trate England, a new lease on life
for Hitler; an America unprepared
and threatened with war on two
oceans, burdened by prodigious
armaments, our national economy
completely regimented"
Urging national unity in support
of the President" Mr.. Lamont said
ANY move by the President toward
further coordination to speed de-
fense production would be hailed by

The delegates last night heard a
prediction by Walter D. Fuller, presi-
dent of the National Association of
Manufacturers, that industry will
meet or beat" SO per cent of its de-
Tense delivery dates.
A survey of 500 holders of defense
contracts by the National Industrial
Council and completed last Satur-
day. Mr.. Fuller stated, shows that
on 90 per cent of these contracts
industry will meet or beat specified
delivery dates and that the total OF
advanced deliveries will far exceed
the few that are delayed"
Mass production will enable Amer
ican industry to do what took Ger
many six years and what England
has not completed in four-''makc
America supreme on land, sea and
in the air" he said.
And we will do it far better and
quicker than any foreign nation
ever dreamed we could" Mr. Fuller
predicted. 1T will be the story of
an awakened giant"
Pooling Resources.
Industry is pooling information,
special skills and equipment. Mr.
Fuller stated. He requested that
any citizen knowing of "bottlenecks
and log jams" inform the council in
| new YOrk Clty.
A sharp quickening of industry
has taken place since William
Knudsen, director of the Office of
Production Management, requested
more speed December l3, Mr.. Fuller
said.
Pointing out that 100 men in a
factory were required today for
every one in trench, Mr.. Fuller
requested that the normal flow OF
living and spending by 100000
Americans be maintained and even
increased
only tapping of unused con-
sumner power can save America from
unemployment when defense neces-
stiles recede," Mr.. Fuller warned the
group
Greater production for the peo-
pies private needs even amid de-
fense activity will tap the back
log of unsatisfled wants and de.
sires" and save the country from
another depression in the future
he declared.
Delegates were urged by Milo j
Warner, national commander Of the
American Legion, to concentrate
defense efforts through well-estab.
lished clubs and organizations.
Not only openly subversive group:
are operating in America today, hi
said, but 400 new vague" group.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 28.-Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman proposed to
New York's Legislature last night
elimination of an emergency l per

recommending $685. 1888 State
budget for 1912, a reduction of
$9,045,774 from the current fiscal
year figure, Gov. Lehman empha-
sized his suggestion for lifting the
emergency levy, enacted in 1885. is
based on the assumption "all other
taxes will be continued for another
year"
The reduction of appropriations,
lowest since the $685. 100000 budget
of 1867, was accomplished, the
Governor said, "in spite of" defense
requirements which he estimated at
