SEQUEL TO ATTACK ON A
BRITISH STEAMER.
This is a story of one of the most businesslike departments of the Greatest Power on Earth,
It tells you how, less than two years ago, the Foreign Office of Great Britain received an appeal from a firm of British shipowners to extract E800 compensation from the Russian Government for damage done to a steamer which was fired on by Russian gunboats in the Gulf of Finland.
It shows with what relentless haste the
Foreign Office in the course of a single year eranfined and approved the shipowners' claim after consultations with the Board of Trade and the Admiralty, and, indeed, took the formidable step of forwarding it to the Rassion Govern-
ment.
It places on record. for the amazement of other Government departments, and the in- struction of vulgar commercial firma, the vigor. one line of action taken by the Foreign Office during the second year of this astoniabing affeir Russian Government rooh-poohs the idea of of business, by which it has ascertained that the
paying a penny."
Finally it shows how, in spite of the ezbeus. tion of two years" effort, the Foreign Office is still-considering, with all the concentration of its businesslike mind the possibility of taking. another step.
This thrilling drama of business-as played by a Government department—is unfolded in a record of the correspondence between the For- eigh Office, the owners of the ship, and others. The following are the actors in (ho drama: Sir Edward Grey, Secretary of State for For
eign Affairs.
Mr. Louis Mallet. Assistant Under-Secretary
of State.
Messrs. Whitfield & Co., Newcastle-on Tyne, managers of the Tyne and Blyth Steamship Company, owning the Woodburn.
Mr. Stanley Todd, secretary of the North of England Protecting and Indemnity Aswali. tion, acting on behalf of Messrs. Whitfield.

August 17, 1908-Feroign Office writes that Bir Edward Grey has "no knowledge of the appointment of a Russian Court of In- quiry, and is not yet in a position" to advise the owners on the formulation of a
claim.

He saks Foreign Office to use their best effortato urge a prompt settlement. February 21, 1911.Another month has elaps- ed since we heard from the Foreign Office," write the owners, "and we are now no further forward than we were eighteen months ago. We cannot go on any longer in the matter. Something must be done."
February 25, 1911. We are disgusted," write the owners," that nothing further has been done. In response to repeated applications for

March 5, 1911.-Foreign Office states that the Russian Minister of Marine ordered an in- quiry into the matter, as the result of which was ascertained that the action taken by the Russian naval officer. concerned was in entire conformity with existing regulations." The Russian Government take the view that the owners of the Woodburn should take proceed. ings against the Finnish pilet who directed the captain to atear the course which brought the Woodbarn under fire. Foreign Offics adds: "The question of whether any, and if so what, further steps can be taken in the matter is under consideration."
March 6, 1911.-Mr. Todd replies: "It is in a way understandable that the Russian naval authorities may from the immunity they have enjoyed in recent years, arrive at the conclu- sion that they can, with a continuation of the immunity, damage or destroy innocent mor okant vessels belonging to other Powers ut heir will-and we sincerely trast that, small though this case may be from the point of view of the money involved, H.M.
