HONGKONG, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1911. BRITISH SAILORS FOR BRITISH SHIPS.
In no British Possession more to than it Hongkong can be impressed the paramount importance of the question of how to si care British sailors for British ships. In years gone by we have seen our dearly-won trade zanes Encroached upso by the foreigner without a finger of reasonable rettraint being held up by the Imperial Government to conserve the jast rights of her far-travelled sons engaged ia trade or the exploitation of bithert untouched tracts of mineral deposits....it is a notorious fact, but the British pioneer, who might expect at any rate the passive support of the supreme autho çitler in England, too often finds his legitimate demanda repudiated by those is power at Home. At this time of day it would serve litle purpose to recount all the numerous instances which could be cited in this respect. The past decade itself has torn fruitful of examples of this antipathetic attiiod's so often adopted by Great Britain with regard to claims by her nationals for ibe falfilmsat of obligations by other Powers or interests. And in no sphere Is this moral pusillanimity on her part made more apparent than in the lack of that protec- tlen of our mercantile marine which is the very birthright of the magnificent service and should ba accorded without demur by the British paople. Britain's power has arisen on the foundations laid securely by bor sailor merch.
