Face to face with the grim realization that German sub- marines are eating into the world’s tonnage alarmingly fast, the government prepared to push thru congress its bill giving President Wilson a dic- tatorship over ships and ship- yards war land to her knees.

The government has learned with a shock that many yards are accept- ing slow-time contracts for vessels of alien ownership, sweeping aside patriotic requests for perhaps more lucrative business.
