iiiidinf warships and smaller nav- al cral .

Mr. Carswell recently brought hi: long experience to the service 0f. the supply department where he ljlollda the post 0f director 01 ship-

u ding.

He is a men not easily impru- sed. There was a. time when he boeeed shipyards that turned out e. ahi every eight days so when l‘; eflilnhusezlover regress made in

an an a pyar itis something out of the ordinary.

Pocket Destroyer:

Take. for example, the whale catchers or patrol boats of which 64 are to bu it, 10 for the British Government and the balance for the Dominion Government. They will begin to be launched late in July and a number should be op- crating late in August.

These pocket edi ions of destroy- era will be 190 feet long. They will lie steam vessels of steel construc-

n.

All the ships being built in can- adlan yards are accordin to Bri- tish Admiraity specificat ons and similar ships have been tested by naval authorities to ensure that thev life Suited for the service for which they are designed.

When the second Great War started Canadian shipyards had Just came through man, lean years and their staffs genera ly were de- pleted. Thus the manner in which they have resumed full stride is es ecially pleasing to the veteran shpbuilding director.

Old Timers Return Mr

“It has been gratifying."

Carsweli said, "the way_older_rne_n'_

"Many YOIIHger men who never had a chance before m gnaw who; they could do have proved them- selves to be exceedingly capable."

Further on the question of man- power, one of the arguments rup- porting steam instead of Diesel engines for the patrol vessels is the availability of marine engineers ihmllkhout the country, Mr. Cara- weii said.

There are hundreds of engineers in Canada with marine certificates some retired, other; doing differ- ent kinds of work who could go into these ships and run the en- gines perfectly.

In the industry these veterans brought back to shipping are re- ferred to as "dug-outs". Because of them younger men who would have to be trained to Operate Diesel engines may be used for some other phase of the war effort.

The patro ships will carry crews of about 40 and will be staunch enough to weather any kind of a Rule. They will be real fighting Ships. The type of armament is not disclosed.

Minesweeper: The next largest. ships being built are the minesweepera of

which i3 already have been start- ed and eight, more are on order. They also are steel ships with Steam engines and twin pro 11ers. They are of shallow draughgngince i-‘iey must not be deep enough in the sen to hit mines.

1. The minimum total cut to the United States and Canada would he $l.l20,588.000, or "about three times the cost of the Panama canal."

2. American labor, transportation and industry would lose $109,647,000 a year due to diversion of business to foreign carriers and other factors.

3. Foreign tramp ships would have almost exclusive use of the seaway, since “American-owned vessels of sufficiently shallow draft to ply the proposed waterway comprise only five per cent of the world's mer- chant ship tonnage."

4. Maintenance of cordial relations with Canadn might be endangered, SlllCB "serious eluestiona could arise as to responsibiity for defence of that waterway in times of war."
