SHIPPING SERVICE

THE NEED OF IMPROVED ORGANISATION AM ER SCAN PROPOSALS. CENTRALISED CONTROL. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.3 p.m.) WASHINGTON, May 13. With the continued heavy submarine sinkings off the Atlantic coast, President Roosevelt is reported to be working hard on plans to obtain maximum service from the merchant tonnage available, as well as to increase the construction programme still further. It is understood in shipping circles that the President may consider the centralisation of all war transport, from factories to termini and thence to war fronts, under a single man. This or some similar action is stated to be an essential preliminary to the appointment of the proposed AngloAmerican Shipping Allocation Committee. The present allocation system has been severely criticised. There is not a single Allied agency either receiving all information regarding strategy, supplies prodbction and shipping or authorised to dispose of available bottoms under a central plan. Admiral Land, broadcasting, said the shipbuilding programme would be brought up to fifteen million tons in 1943, and would continue at that rate or increase until the end of the war.
