As against this it is to be desired and even expect- ed that the Terms of Peace will provide for the restitution of some portion of our war losses by the application of such proportion of the available enemy tonnage as our losses bear to the whole lossas of the Associated Powers. In another part of the Report it is stated that: The enemy ton nage in enemy and neutral ports no the conclusion of hostilities was approximately 4,000,000 gross tons, & further quantity was at the outbreak of war either in brought to British or Allied ports." Part of this was detained and part has been condemned, but figures are not available dis- tinguishing between ships con- demned and those
merely detained. so that the total of enemy shipping which is capable of being disposed of may be estimated to amount to appro- ximately 5,000,000-gross-tons-in- all. British war losses alone have been 747.935 gross tons, and Allied Josses 2,653,749 gross tons approximately, so that even though there be 5,000,000 tons of available enemy shipping, it will only enable the enemy to make restitution in respect of about half of the losses which they have
