Pointing out that the Japanese must reach their war-gained territory by overseas means, the Secretary explained that the loss of cargo ships Is striking at one of their vital activities, The Becretary said that Japan, through construction snd seizures, had built up a tonnage of about 7500000 and that 2.500.000 tons of this shipping had been sent to the bottom.
