During the construction of the vessel we have had a great many difficulties to contend with includ- ing the disastrous coal strike in Britain and civil wars and other troubles very near our own doors, but I hope our efforts to carry out this contract without undue delay will appeal to our friends, the Shanghai Pilot Boat Co. It is the first large vessel we have built for them and while they may not be in the market in the near future we trust the results will justify our hope that the next vessel will be built in the sacae berth as this one.

Mr. Lester then proposed the health of the new ship and her owners, and a reply was made on behalf of the Shanghai Pilot Baut Co. by Capt. George Philip, secre tary of the Company. He toasted the builders and this was replied to by Mr. W. 5.

Imperial Aspect. Discussing the Imperial aspect of the problem, Capt. Thursfield point- ed out that the British Empire was. in an entirely different position from that of any other nation with re- gard to naval forces. It is gene- rally true that no estimate of the naval needs of a nation can be made without first ascertaining who is to be the enemy, but that axiom is not true of the British Empire which, by reason of its widespread sen communications, requires a cer- tain minimum of naval power in any war that may arise.
The object of British effort, he cur ocean comunications, to keep argued, was threefold to maintain intact our mercantile marine and to maintain London, as the financial centre of the world. If these thres indispensible conditions of our Im- perial existence were inipinged upon the Empire would collapse.
