BRITISH SHIPPING. MAKING GOOD. THE LOSSES,

In the House of Commons, on Novem- her 14th:-

Mr. Runciman called attention to the urgent necessity for increasing the output of merchant ships. According to the biguses given by the Admiralty, our mer“ cantile marine had gone down during the period of war by & net sum of about 3,500,000 groes tons, That was to say, that British shipowners had lost by marine and war risks during the four years some 9,000,000 tons, and that rather under 5,500,000 tons had been replaced by purchase, by capture from the enemy, and ly the shipbuilding yards. The net deficit of 3,000,000 tons presented as grave a problem; as was ever faced by a Govern ment department. Taking an average of four voyages a year, it represented some- thing like 20,000,000 to dead-weight Jusses in the course of a single year. One reason why the deficit was so large was undoubtedly due to

edly due to the fact that our ship- building expectations for the year had not been fulfilled. He suggested that the failure to give Lord Pirrio the amount of labour which he had been promised was responsible for the big drop in the

output.

As a matter of fact there were some keels ready

It ought to be the business of those who controlled affairs to encourage the investment of capital in shipbuilding. He believed that the only things which could tend to the spread of what was known as Bolshevism in this country were a shortage of food and a lack of work. At one time something like 1,200 mercantile vessela wore in the service of the Navy. If anything like 500 or B00 of these vessels could at once be released

for the purpose of carrying coal to foreign countries there would be a large the quantity of tonnage available for carriage of food to this country.

The pre-war wage! of the men of the mercantile marine were not of the best, and that made us all the nore grateful for the services they had rendered during the war. We had now restore the enormous losses we had ans- tained through placing the British mer cantile marine not only at the service of the Allies but at the service of the world Supplica of steel we now ample, and supplies of labour aght to improve rapidly.

This figure exactly coincided with Lord Pirrie's estimate of

of the possibilities of

6 shipbuilding in a year with the present supply of labour. The submarine had been beaten first by the dauntless courag of the Navy, then by the destruction of submarines, building new ships, repairing damaged ships, and using all

ships in such a fashion as to avoid attack. But all this would not have been possible but for the building of necessary -gab marine craft in the naval shipyards. That had necessarily restricted merchant He ventured to say that the

results accomplished by the Admiralty would not have been achieved if labour had been devoted in degree to the merchant side of shipbuild ing instead of being devoted to the means of protection and the means of attack. When the war broke out we had about 260,000 persons engaged in shipbuilding Work

The number now was 381,000.
