The wars our generation has witnessed have brought what wars have always brought disturbances, unrest and a feeling of general insecurity that's the way of all wars. Industry and mutual trade-useful pursuits of peace-are the endeavours in the opposite direction. This concern has argued whenever it could, that free access. free intercourse and trade between peoples, contributes to peace and friendliness and security and takes the tension off where diplomats seem to fail. For, when all is said and done, people want the opportunity to work for a living. Trade and industry, free and untrammelled, not only con- tributes to that opportunity, but is a way of life. Vessels of our Line are plainly marked and can be recognized easily when they sail in and out of the principal ports of the world, and we like to feel that they are practical
