A despatch from Washington says: The magnitude of the American Gov- ernment’s shipbuilding p‘rogrammel was revealed in a statement by the shipping board, showing that nearly? 1,200 merchant vessels of about 6,-i 000,000 tonnage will be completed within a little more than a year. Completion of ships commandeered in shipyards and of vessels actually or about to be contracted for will give the country a fleet of 1,600 ships with a total tonnage of more than 9,000,000. In addition to this, the board will complete in 1919 vessels already contracted for, and under ne- gotiation of about 4,000,000 tons. A billion dollars has just been asked of CongreSS to complete the programme. The United States now is leading the world in shipbuilding, and if the present rate of construction were kept up, would become the leading shipping nation of the world in 23. few years.
