"While there has been a marked improvement in shipbuilding in 1929, the present volume of unfinish- ed contracts, even if continued, will not be sufficient to maintain the shipyards in operation at their nor. {mal capacity. They will employ only about 31,000 workmen to carry on the present programme of ship/ building, while it is estimated that not less than 40,000 workmen would be required if the yards were to be operated at normal capacity. There are still more than 30 unassigned building ways available for ship construction.

"To'maintain the prosent volume of ship construction, will involve an expenditure of at least $76,000,000 each year for additional work. The probable award of new contracts for the transportation of mails, and the anticipated future orders for oil tankers reasonably assure the yards of a substantial volume of new con. struction during the next two or three years.
