		On Dec. 1, American shipyards were building or had under contract for private shipowners and for the account of the Maritime Commission 230 seagoing vessels aggregating 518,507 gross tons, compared with 144 vessels totaling 263,000 gross tons on Dec. 1, 1937.
		The Commission's construction program for 1939 is heavy — it is estimated that ships on order and those to be ordered during 1939 will involve an expenditure of approximately $140,000,000 for shipyard labor and about $175,000,000 for the purchase of material — and a number of shipyards have been reconditioned to provide additional shipways.
