London, Feb. 5.
RITISH shipyards are planning to build merchant ships at the rate of one each day by the end of 1940, it was learned here last night, Further plans will provide for the increase of shipbuilding activities to 600 ships each year if the European war continues and German attacks on British shipping are intensified. Shipyards have been instructed to build as many ships as possible of the types in which they specialize.—United Press,
