sunk in the past, nor do We know how many
are being sent TO the bottom today.
For military reasons, which We are
obliged TO accept even though we sometimes
question their soundness, the public has
been kept completely in the dark both as to
our losses and as to the retaliatory ven-
geance We have exacied.
We do know. from q long series Of Off
cial statements on both sides of the Allan
tic. that shipping is our worst headache.
When we were attacked. we had inadequate
facilities for supplying our allies bringing
raw material into this country. transporting
expeditionary forces to the fighting fronts
and servicing them while there.
Sinkings have exceeded launchings, so
that as of today We are worse off than we
were last December.
Experts say that one may speculate in
diligently that We have averaged loss of
at least two ships day. By the end of this
month we expect to be turning out two ships
. day, ready TO go TO sea with cargoes. On
that basis We would be just about holding
cur own.
But two ships day is only an interme-
date point. Our goal is to produce $50 ves-
sells this year and twice as many-an aver
age of four a day--in l9a3.
II Admiral Stark is correct, even to the
extent that We can count upon holding the
U-boats to their present effectiveness, then
by Decoration Day we shall have climbed
over the shipping hump and start coasting
down on the sunny side.
Nobody knows what the total will be.
At the beginning of l941 we had l $50 ships
with combined gross tonnage of 7078,000.
Last year we built less than we lost. This
year and next We are adding 1900 craft
with a gross tonnage of roughly 100000.
So by the end of next year we shall have
something fewer than $500 vessels with a
gross tonnage of less than $4,000, 900. At
the beginning of 1871 the British possessed
1894 ships of 1896, 900 tons. Japan, third
maritime power, had only 1913 vessels gross
ing 4,754,000 tons.
Knock off what you will for sinkings.
Your guess is better than any figure that
has come through the censorship. II still
will be safe to say that-if Admiral Stark
is right and we have brought the subma-
rines under control-from the middle of
this year thenceforward We shall have be-
gun TO break the bottleneck which is handi-
Gaping war production and preventing us
from taking the offensive against Hitler
and Japan.
