The North Gier- man Lloyd has a total of 823,000 | of fivistut arrived at New York on tons gross, inclusive of the vessels May 11th. now on order, while the Hamburg- American has a total of 1,023,000 tons in sight, including the con- struction planned to be carried out with projected increase of 30,000,000 marks in its capital. This brings both companies very close to their pre-war tonnage figures. The build- ing programs of the Hinburg American, according to the latest announcement; includes two 17,000- ton muter passenger liners of the type of the thriland and with a speed of 10 knots: six 10.000-ton motor carn ships and six 4,00)-LOU surge vessels
