POSSIBLE REDUCTIONS
The lack of naval construction, admission of foreign-bullt tonnage to the courtwise trade after the war, and the existence of the laid-up fleet of the Shipping Board are the principal causes of the depressed condition of the shipbuilding indus- try in the United States, according to Mr. H. G. Smith, vice-president of the National Council of American Shipbuilders.
Pointing out that because of the varying requirements of the differ ent trades, the use of different forms of propulsion, and the differ ence in size of vessels, the principles of quantity production, which have resulted in reduction of costs in other industries are not applicable to the construction of ships, Mr. Smith stated that reductions in cost

The Naval Programme Carrying out of the pending five year programme of naval construc- tion, he said, would enable the shipyards to reduce their charges on merchant ships materially. This programme provides for the build- ing of 15 cruisers and one acrople carrier, half of which may be built in private yards.. In this connection, he pointed out that during the war Government had to rely mainly upon the private yards for the construc- tion of new vessels.
