Will Offset Losses

The stream of new ships coupled
with Britain's own production and
l ere ased defensive measures
against German raiders are ex-
lpected within a comparatively
short time to more than offset
present British losses in the battle
of the Atlantic, now averaging
about 100000 tons a year.
The maritime schedule calls for
completion of 1,250,000 tons this
year, 100000 tons in 1912, and
), 100000 tons in 1913.
Employing every available big
ship builder in the country along
both coasts and around the Great
Lakes, beside opening Is new ship
yards. the commission has divided
the giant construction effort into
three categories.
Long Range Program
They are:
IA long-range, 10-year pro-
Il gram to construct 500 Of
which 283 will be completed by
the end of 1913.
C-The No. l emergency pro-
- gram TO build 200 standard
cargo carriers.
C-The No. 2 emergency pro-
- gram to build 222 merchant
ships for the lease-lend program.
In addition another 146 ships
are being built directly for the
British or private individuals.
These. minus the Sc ships delivered
up to the last of May, leave the
total at 765.
Exclusive of the latter LAG, the
total cost for shipbuilding alone ID
estimated at 81 ,625 900 900. .
To handle the program the COM
mission has seen 10 the construc.
ton of 1S6 new shipways not in
icluding those around the Great
Lakes concerned solely with naval
work. Expansion costs were esti-
mated at SS6,00O,O00.
