...ships has never been greater than now. Figures just made public demonstrate that the U boat has outrun the combined efforts of English and American ship-yards by three to one. New ships in vastly increased quantities must be had if this year is to see the tide turn. Yet the unpatriotic action of a large part of our workers at the present time threatens this all-important artery of our war machine. Whether walkouts have been inspired by enemy propaganda or are the result of petty unionist leaders' activity, they offer a serious indictment against labor...

Although there is internal improvement...

The large submarine sinking claimed at times by the British, and the constant precautions to convoy vessels show the imperial shipyards can still turn out a large fleet. We doubt, however, if German efficiency will be as effective as Henry Ford's experience, when rapid work is to be done...
