BRITISH SHIPBUILDING CRISIS
Some Signs Of Improvement
[BY SIR ARCHIBALD HURD]
Because about one-half of the merchant shipping now under
construction in the world's ship- yards is being built in the United Kingdom, the impression prevails that the British shipbuilding in- dustry.is prospering. The facts of the situation do not, however, support any such conclusion.
Early last year there were signs of revival owing principally to the resumption of work on the Cunard- White Star liner "Queen Mary" and welcome orders for new pas- senger and cargo liners for the Empire trade routes which, follow-

this process of rationalisation began the capacity of the indus- try for the production of merchant ships was in round figures, about 3.000.000 gross tons per annum. A reduction has been effected which has brought the figure to 2,000,000 gross tons. In the opinion of one of the leaders in the movement. "under existing conditions, and in spite of the very valuable work which has been carried out, the outlook for the industry at large is not hopeful, seeing that, on the average. it cannot hope even to attain a condition of operation ac halt capacity."
A conception of the situation which now exists in the British shipyards is conveyed by the re- cord 01 the past few years. Taking 100 as representing the merchant tonnage launched in the year before the outbreak of the Great War, the position during the last aix years has been as follows:-1929, 79: 1930, 76; 1931, 28; 1932, 10; 1933, 7: 1934, 24 In these circumstances no shipbuild- buliding firm has made a profit, for owing to the shortage of orders competition has been on an un- economic basis,
