PRODUCTION OF SHIPS
BIG AMERICAN PROGRAMME (Received Sept. 25, 11 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 The chairman of the War-time Commission, Rear-Admiral Land, + old the press that he favours limiting the size of Axis post-war merchant fleets. “I am expressing my own views, but if I had my way they would be left with very little,” he said. He added that by the end of 1944 the American shipyards will have delivered approximately 50,000,000 dead-weight tons of merchant shipping since 1938. The construction programme has now reached the levelling-off stage. The September production rate will be sufficient to meet the 1943-44 goals.
