THE ADMIRALTY AND PRIVATE TRADERS
What has happened in connection with the proposal that the Admiralty shall undertake the direct sale of Admiralty charts to shipowners in competition with private firms is only another example of the insidious en-
During the war, in order to preserve the necessary secrecy, merchant vessels under Government control were furnished direct or loan, by, the Admiralty, with an unusually lavish outfit of charts free of charge. As it is now proposed that the Admir- alty should make a charge for the charts there would be no financial gain to shipowners, and the other alleged advantages of the direct supply scheme could, it is argued, be realised by the."offer of the nautical instrument makers if desired, to co-operate with the hydrographer: in chart work. It is not merely, however, a case of depriving nautical opticians of this part of their business--which they surrendered as a war measure-but an important principle is involved. Not only is there no justification for Government interference with this particular trade, but it is the fact that the abolition of the chart branch would be associated with a loss of general efficiency on the part of the irms engaged in this. industry in connection with the varied navigation |al requirements of shipowners. It would lead to the dismissal of the many efficient employes who are not only concerned with chart work, but with other branches of navigational needs, and whose services could not be retained if this impo cant part of their duties was handed over to a Government department. On these grounds alone the scheme should be resisted, and only apathy on the part of the impor tant intereats concerned will encour age the Government to persevere with a project which stands self- condemned.

croachments of the Government upon wade. It would seem that although State control of industry is in some directions being relaxed, yet in other trades the shackles of Government competition are being more firmly rivetted than ever. It will be recalled that the matter of continuing the supply of Admiralty charts to ship- owners on an ordinary commercial basis was raised in the House of Commons by Mr. Mackinder, and the reply given by Dr. Macnamara sug- gested that the new departure was favoured by shipowners, and was a natural development of the system of supply of charts on loan to the Mer- cantile Marine, which for various reasons prevailed during the war period. It is understood that some shipowners, expressed a desire that the method of direct supply by the Admiralty should be continued, but the assumption that it was favoured by shipowners as a body is not borne out by the information extracted by the very pertinent questions of Sir
