SHIPPING TONNAGE ....

Washington, Oct. 27 (UP)-The. Maritime Commission to-day cited figures to show that the United States has more merchant ship tonnage than all the rest of the world combined.

The United States Government and private companies owned more than 55,000,000 tons on June 30. Of this total about 4,630,000 are being operated under foreign flogs.

Foreign countries and concerns owned about 45,540,000 tons on June 30.

Use of the United States maritime strength is in sharp contrast with its. pro-war status which then only amounted to 11,600,000 tons compared to the world total of 80,000,000 tons. Britain was the dominant pre-war maritimo pation with 24,000,000 tons.
