tool of the German autocracy. He added that America WQiild gladly amend the Inter allied Labour Conference for the purpose <of speeding up the war. THE SHIPPING SHORTAGE. Mr G. N. Barnes (Minister without port-, folio) appealed to workers in the ship yards to put their backs into their work. Last month (January) less than half the estimated number of ships were turned out, and.this month (February) the position had pot improved. The matter was very seri ous, because as regards shipbuilding America was failing us, and we must construct a much larger number ii we were fco get through the 'trouble of the next lew months. In the House-of Commons Mr'Bonar Law stated that the output of ships.for January and February was very disappointing, ting be.vng largely due to labour troubles. The Government was informing the shipyard workers of the seriousness of the position, with the object of convincing them that thoir v.ork was as vital as fighting. When the;? realised that, there would be no compl.tuts that shipbuilding was decreasing because men were not working their hardest. America is entering upon a colossal ship* building programme. Within a few weeks a great number of destroyers, merchant men, and submarines will be in course of construction at the Philadelphia and B< ;l;on shipyards. Since November the Government has converted a large barren island in the Delaware River into the biggest shipyard of the world. It has also created a town of 20,000 inhabitants on the island. This yard will {.esemble parts manufactured &4 a thousand factories. It is anitcipatcd that the ialand will turn out 50 ships, each of £OOO tons, during 1918, and after September will finish a merchantman every two days. The United States Government is preparing to tako legal possession, of the Jrlamburg Amerika and North German J.loyd Stpamshlp Lines' property, which is .worth millions of dollars. It will be sold at publio auction by the Government-. An exhaustive semi-official investigation loveals that the present acute shortage of shipping amounts of 7,435,000 tons. •The Brazilian Government has ordered the establishment of important national workshops at Puertobclo, whore timber-carrying ships will bo rapidly constructed, intended for coastal trade. Cargoes will be transhipped at' Santos and Rio de Janeiro for Europe.' Para will be able to export millions of tons of wood annually to Allied countries. The Morning Post's Stockholm correspondent states that the tonnage agreement between Sweden and the Allies has been Settled whereby 72,000 tons of Swedish shipping will be at the Allies' disposal, and Sweden will be permitted to import 64,000 tons of necessaries. In the House of Commons Mr F. A. Kelleway said the Board of Trade had abolished the flat rates for war risks, and was now charging premiums graded according to the actual risks of a particular voyage. This would probably materially rcduco the rates on short voyages between Eastern and distant ports, but it was not likely that it would affect the rate between England and Australasia.
