But there. is no doubt that although the output) has been good there has been aj very small margin of profit. As regards even output, the fairest way in which to arrive at a con- clusion is to average the output of the two years 1926 and 1927. Comparative Statistics.

In 1926 shipbuilding was held up by the general strike and coal stoppage with the result that many orders which would normal- ly have helped, to awell the 1926 total were held back until the next year, thus giving 1927 an unnaturally large total at the ex- LINE]pense of 1926. From the publish- ed lists of shipbuilders' returns. the output for last year 1,370,712 tons from yards in Great Britain and Ireland, for the previous year it was, accord. ing to Lloyd's Register, 639,568 tons.
