BRITON SAYS U. S. FAILS BRITAIN IN SHIP BUILDING

London, Feb. 26.—-George Nicoll Barnes, Labor member of parliament and a member of the war cabinet, made an urgent appeal in the house of commons this evening to the ship workers to put their backs into their work. The present situation, the speaker said, was unsatisfactory. The January output had been less than half of that expected, and the February building was no better, while the United States was failing Great Britain.
