SHIPPING LOSSES
RELEASE OF FIGURES
URGED
LONDON, June 8. The "Daily Mail" and the "Daily Express," in leaders, urge the Government to relase figures regarding the Atlantic shipping losses. The "Daily Mail" says: "Disturbing reports from America say that we are losing more ships than we are replacing. One report says that the United Nations lost 250 ships in less than five months, and also that 24 ships were sunk in the Atlantic last week —one of the highest totals so far. These unofficial reports are likely to be more alarming than the official facts, which, bad as they might be, would be a spur to renewed effort.". The "Daily Express" says that publication of the shipping losses would have a salutary effect throughout public- life. There should be a great public agitation to encourage and prod all concerned with shipbuilding.
