"During the flight cold was the greatest hardship encountered. and even that was not really serious," Com mander Coil reported. "Had the crew not been outfitted with flying suits lined with fur the cold would have proved severe. As it was. the great est trial was the fact that smoking is not permitted in a dirigible."

"In giving you this picture of our finances, I have confined myself to facta and figures. I have made no mention of the unusual conditions under which our work was planned and carried out. However, it is Interesting to note that the cost of our steel ana machinery was three times its normal cost and that the wages we paid to labor were based upon double the normal rate. Also, it is Interesting to consider In connection with the fore going figures the fact that we ex panded the shipbuilding industry ten fold in ten months with high priced materials, and under the handicap of transportation delays which made the work very costly. Blunders Are Admitted. "Tn the prosecution of our work we have made many blunders, and finally, when we were compelled by the sign ing of the armistice, suddenly to stop and reverse the ponderous machinery we had been driving at full speed, we found ourselves confronted with new problems through the mazes of which we are happy to report that we can now see our way clearly. "The inter-relation of the shipbuild ing and ship-operating industries is virtually close, and the unprecedented conditions which the war has imposed upon both of them cannot be safely ad Justed to normal without carefully con sidered action by the government, at whose call they abandoned the normal limitations of commercial organization and adjusted themselves to the ab normal conditions of war. Moreover, tho importance of those two great in dustries to the prosperity of the Ameri can people is so great that the neces sity for establishing them on n- healthy commercial basis is widely recognized as a prime matter of national policy."
