Japan to Arm Liners Slavs Retreat Peace No Names
Japan notified the State Department of arming merchant ships defensively and sought guidance on passage through the Panama Canal. The move follows heavy losses in the Mediterranean and concerns over German submarines. US canal policy permits defensive armament without changing a ship’s merchant status. Japan remains a large canal user with cargo tonnage through August, September, October, and November.

Alarm For Big Freighter Georgic Strands in Atlantic
Marine insurance circles fear for the White Star steamship Georgic after it failed to report arriving Liverpool on December 19.

The ship typically carries 12 000 to 14 000 tons per voyage and insurance rates rose amid uncertainty.
