7ITH IMMEDIATE POSSESSION

Bargrave Toane. The point raised in the case was when a seaman's voyage came to an end underhis contract to azil a foreign- going easel. -

Sir Robert Finlay, for the Board of Trade argued in support of the respondent's case,

He said that the agreement here was not for a year, but for a voyage not to exceed a year, and the effect of this was so soon as the steamer came to the terminus ad quem the voyage could not be further prolonged.

Lord Justice Moulton called attention to the fact that tho vessel was to trade to ports in rotation, and that could not ex- clude the home ports. If the latter could bo included, then the terminus ad quem was not merely a home port, but a port required by the master. Hejdid not see why the vessel could not go from one port to another.

Sir R. Finlay said that view would eug. gest an agreement as long as the master choose to keep the men. He submitted that where a cargo was wholly discharged at a home port that put an end to the voy- age, and the time limit was only allowed in the case of home trading vessels. If the agreement meant that the men could be taken on to Cardiff, then it was bad, but he contended that such wa notita meaning, and that the voyage ended at Southampton, when the cargo was discharged.

Lord. Justice Moulton asked if counsel contended that ipso ƒ cto the voyage 'top- minated with the discharge of the cargo if it were within the time limits 7-

Sir R. Finlay said that that was his con- teption where the cargo came from foreign parts, but the voyage was not torminated unless the whole cargo was discharged, because the adventure was not completed." In this case the option of the master was exercised when he selected the port of dis. charge in the United Kingdom, and he could not then say to the seamen that he would take them on to Cardiff.

Lord Justice Vaughan Williams: Must he tell them the port to which he is going? Sir R. Finlay: No; he can keep his own counsel.

Lord Justice Vaughan Williams: Out- sido a musical opera Le is not bound to ask leave of the sailors as to where he shall go. (Laughter.)

of the agreement. He could find no words. within the four corners of the agreement which would lead him to say that the voyage determined at Southampton by reason of the discharge of the cargo, On the contrary, it seemed to him that the words of the agreement gave the master a right of election as to which of the ports within the limits of the prescribed district should, in fact, be the final port of destination of the ehip. Even if the words of the agreement were much less clear than they seemed to him to be he should hesitate long, having: regard alike to the interests of seamen and shipowners, before he held that the true construction of the agreement necessitated. the engagement of a new crew in the case of a British foreign-going ship ar- riving at Hamburg before she could pro- ceed with cargo from Hamburg to any port, whether within or without the home trad ing limits. He could not agree that under this agreement the end of the voyage meant the place where the cargo brought home was wholly discharged.

THE TRIUMPH OF HUMBUG,

A new chapter has just been added to history of successsful popular delusions. That history is as old as the world itself, and in its political section are to be found some of the most convincing 'examples of the omnipotence of humbug as a controlling force in the world's affairs. Whether we care to admit it or not, the chastening fact remains that upon the ancient rock of popular credulity the flowing tide of our boasted progress and enlightenment has made no impression whatever. As the events of the past fortnight (up to January 30) have proved, the gullibility pilloried by the party rhymester who satirically demanded-

Who was it that made bread and Luddites

rise ?

Who filled the butchers' shops with big blue

flies?

The Tories!-

is every whit as rampant in the early twentieth as in the early nineteenth century. Now, as then, it is demonstrably true that "the people wish to be deceived and are deceived"; and now, as then, there are plenty of politicians of the cult of Ananias who do not scruple to make their account with this weakness, and to exploit it to the utmost advantage of themselves and their party. The bogus little loaves and fictitious Chinese slaves" of the election campaign just ended should have been impostures too transparent to influence the mind of the humblest voter in these days of compulsory education and free libraries, otherwise than to excite his contempt for those who could seek to be guile him with such stupidly obvious frauds. As a matter of fact, this brace of wretched swindles admittedly effected huge turn-overs of working-class votes in almost every part of the country, and gained for the party now in power the greatest majority within living memory.

In the

face of such a result, who can' deny that popular credulity is as great and as easy to practise upon to-day as in the dark nges when provided schools were not, and a proletarian franchise was unknown !

Yet, after all, it must in fairness be ad-. mitted that it is not in democratic quarters alone that this strange susceptibility to the power of humbug continues to survive in

all its ancient force. One has only to turn

from the political to the social arena to see

on all sides the spectacle of quackery of

No exposure or disillusion seems capable of suppressing their lucrative | business; and if by chance one form of bogus mysticism falls into temporary dis- credit, it followers merely wander off, unabashed in search of fresh frauds and humbugs new. With this strange readiness to be deceived existing at one end of the social scale, it is hardly to be wondered at that the unscrupulous medicine-men who deal in political quack nostrums find it an easy enough matter to palm off their spurious wares at the other. That a national decision in which the gravest issues are involved can be decisively influenced by the sheer force of reckless imposture and persistent mendacity is not, it is truo, very flattering to our self-respect. But this is precisely what has happened in the present instance; and it may well be doubted whether the depths of popular credulity have ever been more audaciously plumbed, or the power of humbug more triumphantly
