THE PRESS AND -COURTS- MARTIAL
IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE
ESTABLISHED.
A principle of considerable importance to the Press Throughout the country was established at Woolwich recently by two of the local journalists.
On Monday, Mr. C. J. Knight, who is secretary of the South-East London Branch of the National Union of Jour- nalists, attended, in his capacity as re porter of The Kentish Independent, a court-martial held at Woolwich. When Le entered, however, his right to be pre- Bent was questioned by one of the officers composing the Court, and on his clair that he had a legal right to be present, the law on the point was consulfed and the President (Major R. N. Lockhart, 12th New Heavy Battery, R.G.A.) ruled that the question was covered by one of the Rules of Procedure under which the accused has the right to object to the presence of a shorthand-writer for the purpose of taking a note of the proceed In accordanco with this rule the inge. accused were asked whether they objected to the presence of a shorthand-writer, and on their answer that they did object, Mr. Knight was called upon to leave the Court, He pretested that the rule upon

WHAT THE STATE DID FOR carrying trade, and not only of this cous!
SHIPPERS.
"PEACE CONDITIONS" AT SEA
WHY" WAR PRICES ???
[BX A SHIPPING EXPERT IN THE DAILY
Things were really in a bad way with the cargo steamer owner just before the war began, and for the first month after its outbreak were distinctly, worse. This soon mended and the shipowner, before he had scarcely realised what was happening, had begun to benefit from the war. Now that hus is getting a little, perhaps all and a bit mere, of his own back, is it quite fair, he asks, that the public should now cry out that he is fleecing them?
Let us see what the State has done for him.
It arranged that he should continue his work in war time at only moderate additional cost to himself. As it happen ed, the shipowner had shown no desire at all to maintain his services during war
time...

try's, is undoubtedly a highly important factor in forcing up rates. No one wants to withdraw vessels from non-British trade if the measure can possibly be avoided. It is an international trade which has been developed as the result of
enormous expenditure of British money, and it means profits, well earned, for Great Britain, But if rates continue to rise the advisability of some such measure might have to be considered seriously.
Questions such as this will only have to J, Bell be grappled with, if at all, in the future, When a dificulty has to be overcome the first thing to be done is the ucarest that doubs at all in their own minds of what lies, to hand, and shipowners have no that is. They say it would be useless to put more vessels into purely British trade until we can deal with those that we have. The congestion at the ports of his country. France, Italy, and elsewhere, is the most pressing problem of the moment; ships. which are usually in port for two or three weeks are now kept from six to eight weeks; and the effectiveness of the vessels available for mercantile services is greatly diminished in consequence Owners con sider that the unions raight allow rather more elasticity to their rules than usual; that the services of every man available, including perhaps Belgians, if there are any wanting work of the kind, should be employed at once. When the British and Continental ports are clear again and

to reporters ba; to official apletakers, but the Court would not admit this point, and he was obliged to leave.
Following the recommendations of a Special Committee, the Government undertook, for a moderato premium, to be paid by the shipowner, to insure 80 per cont of the war risk, leaving only 20 por which had already been formed and whose policies were to be extended to cover voyagea started after the war began. At the worst this premium amounted for some After brief evidence on that day one months to 8 per cent of the value of the of the accused was acquitted, and the vessels; lately, at the most, it has amount second was brought up again on Wednesed to 6 per cent. In practice, as these day, when Mr. Knight was accompanied figures represent the premiums per annam by Mr. II. O. Hartley, M.J.I., of The and steamers are never at ses for a whole Daily Telegraph. The two pressmen succeeded in getting their cards placed in twelve months, the charges were, and are, the hands of the President, who agreed to the time that this insurance would cost substantially less. It was estimated at discuss the points at issue, Mr. Knight having drawn attention in a note on his the community & considerable sum.
insurance schorne may thus be regarded as card to Rule of Procedure 71 in the the first offer of protection which the Manual of Military Law (Courts-Martial Section). This rule states ---The Court.
Government gave to the owners, can deliberato in privato and may either withdraw for the purpose, or cause the Court to be cleared, but at other times the Court must be opened to the public, military or otherwise, as far as the room or tent in which the Court is hald can receive them. It is not usual to place any restriction on the admission of reporters for the Press."!
In opening the discussion, Mr. Hartley explained that they had attended with the object of establishing the right of the Press to be present, at Courts-martial, That right, he said, had been first estab Tished over twenty years ago by the late Mr. CV, Hartley, barrister-at-law-his uncle--who was the first journalist to attend a Court-martial in Woolwich. He had established that right after exhaustive legal research.
The President said that since seeing the Rule of Procedure quoted he was quite satished that he had no power to exclude the Press, but under the section upon which he had acted on Monday he could not allow the taking of shorthand notes, as the accused had abjected to shorthand notes being taken.
Mr. Knight submitted: that the Court was not called upon to "ask whether accused objected to the presence of reporters.

reasonable time, it may perhaps be that freight rates will automatically get easier. In the meantime it would be as well to remember that if this relief fails to have effect upon freights some fresh expedient for an absurd situation will have to be found. Shipowners can no longer claim State, and it behoves them to get together that their success is in no way due to the now to discuss how the State can best be cervell,

We need not discuss the most obvious benefit the safety ensured to shipping by the Navy. That form of assistance sur passes everything elso, because without it there could have been no British mer- cantile marine to earn any freights. The second important benefit which the State has conferred upon shipping by means of the Navy has been the putting out of] action of the whole of the German mer cantile marine. This represents roughly some 4,700,000 tons of highly efficient vessels, ships whose carning capacity is second to none.
