MERCHANT SHIPS
Navy League Message The position and future of tlie British merchant service is tlie subject of remarks in the Navy League New Year message, published in its official organ, “The Navy.” "We cannot suppose that Hie alarms of Europe do not affect us, nor cun we pretend flint there is peace in commerce when foreign subsidies and discrimination are driving our merchantmen and fishing fleet off the seas, and are leaving our ships to rot in every creek and harbour of tlie world and our seamen to despair on tlie dole.” states the message. "When we have insisted and obtained for our merchant seamen and officers and onr fishermen their full share of employment in British trade carried in British ships, we will have shown goodwill to and obtained it from a section of our people who wholly deserve it.”
