This latter provision may imply the possibility of naval protection; but, even without it, sailing in company would seem to ensure a greater sense of security than now exists, and would doubtless make many of the other regulations less irksome than they appear.

"The danger-zone extends to a radius of 120 miles, and it is too much to expect that the Government shall provide a naval cacort for every ship rusuing from this part to ports as far North" as Anioy and porta as far South as •Haiphong. The Government's duty does not, of course, end with the promulgation of these regulations; the imperative duty rests upon the Colonial Government and the Imperial Government alike to persuade
