war came and the shipbuilding in
dustry is many months ahead of its
effort in the first World War.
The ship-a-day stage in launch
ings was reached in December.
During the first quarter of 1912
the commissions schedule calls for
the laying of 148 keels, launching of
125 ships and the delivery of II
completed vessels.
The second quarter of the year
should bring the program to the
tWo-silips-a-day stage, and con-
stantly increas sing tempo, it is eX-
pected, will, if labor produces, re-
suit in the delivery into service of
an average of two ships day
throughout 1912 and 1943 a total
of about 13,5O0,OOO deadweight tons "
Speaking of the vastly augmented
production facilities, Admiral Land
said that private shipyards capable
of building ocean-going merchant
ships of 400 feet or more had been
expanded from the 1887 total of 10
with 46 ways to a present total of
40 with 275 ways. This 500 per
cent increase did not include Great
Lakes yards, he said.

Yesterdays seizure was in addl-

Land Issues Statement.
The action coincided with the is
suance by Maritime Commission
Chairman Emory S. Land of sum-
mary on the shipbuilding program.
His statement had two significant
points:
Americas entry into war found
it ''in the most advantageous mari
time preparedness in its history" "
but
Right now we have insufficient
ships for our national defense
needs"
Admiral Land did not expand on
this second point, but it was as
sumed his reference was to the far
flung theaters of war. The prime
problem in the first World War was
to get men and supplies to Europe,
a simple crossing of the Atlantic
with the hazards confined almost
entirely to submarines and mines
Today the fronts are scattered
through both hemispheres, with av1-
alton added to the dangers con-
fronting the troop transports and
cargo carriers.
U. S. Position Called Good.
While conceding that the current
merchant marine fleet was INSULT
cient, Admiral Land said.
THE United States has laid a
groundwork for its defense and wal
programs which has placed it fal
ahead of the position it occupied
at any previous crisis.
