Shipping Program Is Short
J "The U-boat menace Is not underestl i
mated bv the United States government.
There is not the slightest - fear , thai
Germany can 'win through her sen
scavengers, but there la appreciated the
need for very serious consideration o (
the most effective; way " to .meet the
situation created. . ; . - . ?r
r The: British shipping ministry yewi
terday" called "upon this 4 country ; for
six million tons annually. This figure
cannot be realized. before late in 19 IS
or-earl v in 1919, it is admitted.
.Tbe program for the next 18 months I
falls short of the British demands. And i
mare than a billion dollars is Involved i
In : the work now under way. $ After
this ner tod1 haa, passed.' however , It la
stated the United States should be able
to produce 8,000,000 tons annually.
; Trainias la TT.S. Considered
Means of conserving I shipping . and
utilising the. tonnage' available until
this great building program nets ablpa
la the vital question under interna
tlonal discussion here today.
For avery American soldier trans
ported, his weight In supplies must he
sent over avery 80 days. Ammunition",
food, everything needed must go from
this side, . for there is not . more than
sufficient to supply-the Tommy and
the Folltt there. Thus, It Is argued,
there Is strong reason for training and
equipping a great army, on this -aide
of th . Atlantis bv- . holding; to its
marching" orders until -vast amounts of I
supplies, now vital to the aiued ligni
tng cause are moved. ,
