60 BRITISH CARGO SHIPS TO BE
BUILT IN AMERICA
Special to the "Telegraph"
LONDON, Dec. 3 (UP)-In the House of Commons to-day, the Minister of Shipping, Mr. Ronald Cross, announced that orders have already been placed in America for the construction of 60 cargo vessels, "in addition to the serviceable United States vessels which have been, and will continue to be purchased.”
"Everything possible is being done to get ships with the greatest facility,” added Mr. Cross.
Maritime Losses LONDON, Dec. 3 (UP) German U-boats, dive-bombers, and to a lesser extent, mines, continue to take a big toll of British and Allied shipping, according to the Admiralty.
The sinkings are the gravest menace that Britain is facing to-day, far transcending the serial blitzing of the Industrial towns and ports of England.
