The total sinkings from the outbreak of ivar to the end of I941 were about 8.3 million tons. On the other hand it is probable that enemy los- ses of shipping for the same period have totalled not less than 5 to 6 million tons. The total world loss of sea-going merchant shipping due to the war may therefore be put at 13 to t4 million tons out of a pre-war total of 63 millions tons. This is offset by the partial replacement of tonnage by building in the British Empire, in neutral coitu- tries, and no doubt to some extent in enemy coun- tries, and to the huge building program of the United States, which has provided about a mil- Pa)’ h" ti" Citlidla" FCSBTVG flfmy- "W 5°‘ lion dead-weight tons in 194i and will provide lhg 5' " "#394 Mil FQVhFhY-ed- will Cohhhlw °h the about 18 millon tons of new shipping over the “lhllhl MW- P" 1'1"“ Shihlll’ helm” lh°5° of the next two years.
