Some ambiti ous soul in Germany has already gone so far as to forecast "a huge city, another New York, in the centre of the reclaimed land, to be
called New Hamburg."
International Issues.
It is on such points as these that the greatest international issues would arise, were the scheme ever to become practicable.
The technical difficulties have been surmounted. The North Sea is shallow.. The deepest squnding is at the Dogger Bank, where 300 fathoms have been recorded, but mostly the floor of the ocean lies only twenty fathoms below the sur- face. The average is as little as forty to forty-five feet,
The proposed dam would be 453 miles long, 89-00 feet above the new water level, and 350 feet high at the base. The total area of land reclaimed would be something like 120,000 square miles.
The experience of thirteen years has shown conclusively that the financial and educational princi pies on which the Committee has acted are thoroughly sound. In proof of this it may be stated that many other War Memorial Funds as well as other Funds of a more general kind have adopted those principles for their own use. The wisdom and foresight of those who advised the Committee in framing their schemes, have been fully prov.
ed.
The Committee and the Office Staff have had much interest and gratification in following the cane ers of their young people and the diversity of the carcers provides tull justification for the policy of uiding that form of education and training which seemned most suitable

The Prosent Position and the Future.
..
new cases have been accepted in the. last 3 years, in order that assist- ance might continue to be available for those who had begun but had not completed their training. To withdraw help from these would be disastrous. In all over 12,000 cases
have been investigated, and of the 3,228 individuals who have received educational assistance, 610 are still being helped, and though this num- ber will rapidly decrease, some will. not have completed their education- al course for five or six years from December 31, 1929.
Activities to Cesse in 1935.
The activities of the Navy League Overseas Relief Fund have begun to diminish, but they will not finally come to an end until the year 1935 or 1938, when it is anticipated that the funds will be exhausted and all its present bene- fieiarles will have completed their educational course.
