The additions by naw con straction, purchases abroad and enemy tonnage captured and brought into servico, was 5,443,000 tons gross, leaving A. zet deficit up to the end of September of-3,503,000 gross tons. This does not include the October figures but these statistics are sufficient for all practical purposes.
