In an article on the piracy of the Kwang Ize, the N-C Daily News refers to the measures enforced on local steara ers at Hongkong for the prevention piracy and says: "The result of these measures has been that: since 1914 no big vessel running out of Hongkong has been successfully pirated. And it would seem that if no legislation can procure the same defences for ships running out of Shanghai thote operating them could adopt the same means of protection for their own sakes. The officers.navigating these vessels should have every facility provided for putting up a successful re- sistance without them any serious at- tempt to thwart the pirates is not only likely to prove useless, but by tesson of the consequences almost bound to follow. ariminally foolish. The expense of safe- guads such as thoep mentioned does not seem an insuperable obstacle, and in fair- ness to the men who do such important work up and down the coast, this mini- mum of protection. should be provided, even when enactments have not yet been premulgated to make it obligatory.”
