SHIP PRODUCTION
FAST BUILDING RATE LOSSES OUTSTRIPPED (By Telegraph—Press Assoc’ation- -Copyright) Washington, Sept. 28. Sir Arthur Salter, head of the British Shipping Mission to the ; United States, revealed that during ! September, for the first time, the United Nations together were turni ing out ships faster than the year’s i rate of sinking. ; Henceforth, unless the enemy’s attacks were more successful, the i United Nations would have more ! ships to transport troops and supplies, i but America’s increasing armed 'strength was outstripping the rate of ship production. VESSELS BUILT FAR FROM SEA PRE-FABRICATION FEATURE Rugby, Sept. 28. In the ship-building world increasing attention is being paid to prefabrication, writes a labour correspondent. In order to expedite the output of new tonnage this method of ship production is being more and more resorted to. Material is supplied by firms outside the shipbuilding industry. Ships are built to standard designs and almost entirely constructed in land factories hundreds of miles from the sea.— 8.0.W.
