NATIONAL — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 AL REPRESENTATIVES American Building, Beattle, Wash. BUILDING SHIPS The performance of the American ship-building fndustry in 1942 is one of the solid achievements which are rightly considered the foundations of ul- timate United Nations victory. The President asked for 8,000,000 tons of new merchant shipping as a prime item in his blueprint for victory. It seemed fantastic when he announced that goal. But the goal has been reached. Put in other terms, the record is not so impres- | sive, of course. While our shipyards were building 750 ships, the enemy was sinking 575 in our own waters. The net addition to the merchant fleets of the United Nations, through our production, was therefore only 175 vessels. But this is not a fair picture, as a matter of fact. We must examine the trends to see how the battle of shipping is going. In respect to shipping fosses in American waters, the trend has been down- ward. U-boat warfare began in February, rose to threatening’ levels in March, April, and May, and then began to taper off slowly. By late summer the Yossés in our own waters were reduced to virtually negligible dimensions. Production of ships in American yards on the other hand has risen steadily. Total launchings for 1942 come to seven times those of 1941, in terms of tonhage. And the highest monthly output of the yards came, significantly, in December. The curve is upward, and points to still greater production for 1943. There is one disturbing factor, not precisely re- latéd to the output of our shipyards. That is the continued building of submarines in Germany, and 8l promptiy, notty | oceans. And it will be. Giraud in Africa | (New York Times) While for obvious reasons General Giraud seems the best available choice for the representative of French authority in Africa, the situation there re- mains delicate. We are committed to a major cam- paign based on French territory. The crucial battles |in that campaign are still to be fought, and the |need of supplying an ever-increasing stream of men ‘nnd supplies to keep it going is just beginning to {be felt in the intensified restrictions on the home front. No one has to be told that the same mil- tary necessity that dictated the use of Admiral Dar- lan to ease the opening phase of this great venture |requires not merely the maintenance of order in the | colonies occupied by the Allied armies but the full | support of the French and native populations. |, This is General Giraud's supreme task. A greai dml has been said about his capacity to command 'the confidence of all Frenchmen willing to fight ‘ror the llbefation of their country. But beyond that it is of immediate importance that he com- mands the confidence of the people on the ground. If long and intimate acquaintance with Africa is |a prime the qualification, few Frenchmen are better fitted for the difficult office he has assumed. Most of General Giraud's life as a soldier has been spent in the African service. His first post after leaving the military academy of St. Cyr was in Bizerte. For ten years before 1914 he served in !Tunis. He led a Moroccan regiment in Europe in ]the last war, and in the early Twenties he was called | back by Marshal Lyautey to take command of the then lonely desert outpost of Marrakesh. As colonel| of the regiment which defeated and captured Abd- el-Krim, the part he took in th Riff campaign is |well known; but less remembered is that Giraud was in Africa most of the time until the European !war was resumed with the German march into the Rhineland in 1936. 1l | With Lyautey he is, indeed, one of the makers |of the French empire. Whether this experience will |serve him well now remains to be seen. Certainly lit is to the advantage of the Allies that he knows every inch of the territory on which decisive bat- tles are about to be fought. He knows the deser!| and the desert peoples. This was one reason why he was the first choice of our Government, and pre- sumably of the British, for the position he now oc- cupies. In addition, he has the unanimous backing of the French officials on the ground and the ap- proval of General de Gaulle and his followers. Hard tests are still to come, yet at least it can be said that General Giraud starts on one of the most im-| portant politico-military missions entrusted to any soldier in this war under auspices much more favor-! able than could have been foreseen a month ago | The Chinese language has only about 15,000‘ words, but it is very difficult because none of them ! is English.
