Speakers huvc reported "im- . provt-ment" ‘in the battle of the Atlantic but an authorita- tive spokesman for the minis- try of war transport said Bri- tain presently is “living on capital" in the matter of sliip- ping.

This source hoped. however, that as a result of utilizing more allied tonnage, United States contribu- tlons and llCW Sliippilll; “we will get to a point where we have _in our service as much as we may be losing in sinititigs."

Unification of the old govern_ nient departments of transport and shipping in the new depart- ment under shrewd, energetic Lord Leathers was credited with resulting in notable lmprovctncnts.

Delay in "turnaround" of ships in British ports "practically doesn't exist.” Ship repairing here has been so speeded up that "there is not a single ship in the country

ivaitiiig for repairs although many tnay be in the process of undergoing repairs."
