TO BE STOPPED IF
PEACE IS DECLARED
WASHINGTON, Nov, l.Shlphuilders
In American yards who muy fear their
efforts to provide an emergency fleet
are limited by the neressltiea of war
were assured that there would be
plenty of work for them for years to
come, In statements addroHrd to
them today by Chairman Hurley of
the Shipping Board and Director-General
Schwab of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation.
Every efficient yard will continue
lo have all the wrk It can do whether
thb war ends soon or not, Mr. Hurley
laid, while Mr. Schwab warned ship
workers that If Germany were not sin
cere In her peace overture It could
want nothing better than a slackening,
ot erforts by American shipbuilders.
"Th present program calls for
15,000,000 tons of merchant shipa,'
salu Mr. Schwab In his statement. 'To
day we have built only about l.DOO,
000 ton and we will not have complet
ed our program until six times as
math work hus been done."
Mr. Hurley pointed out that the
ending of the war ron'd not bring an
end to the world's needs for ahlps
"nor prevent us from carrying out our
program to a successful conclusion."
"I can say with frunkneHH," said
Mr. Hurley, "thut our bhlpyarda will
be kept going to their capacity and
they must not let up. The Inefficient
plants which have been permitted to
operate because of the war emergency
and tho Immediate need of ships will,
as a matter of business expediency,
drop out when the emergency Is re.
moved. Efficient yards will be en
couraged and supported, because we
can depend upon them to carry out
their promises and produce ships
economically. The work inefficient
yards canot do will fall to othor plant.
We will look to the West coast to
continue the pace It has maintained
and the yards of the East and South
and In the Great Inkes region to In
crease their output."
