Pansions for Merchant Seamen.
The Mercantile Marine Servios Association has for many years advocated the inauguration of
a system of State pensions for merchant seamen as it is felt- that this would be a big step in the direction of raising the popularity of the service and infusing new blood into it. Under present circumstances, what inducements are offered to tempt · parents to enter their sons for this perilous profession? A three years' apprenticeship to drudgery. for which a heavy pretium must be paid and no remuneration granted in return; the prime of life spent in a dangerous and bazardous existence, where in one day a man may fall from the highest to the lowest rung of the ladder, and an old agi depandent upon charity. The institution of pensions after a specified number of years of service would do much towards removing some of the worries of the present generation of seamen, and would ensure that the right class of man is attracted to maintain the stamina and fibre of the next. It is, therefore, gratifying to learn that the executive committee of the Navy League has had under consideration for some time the question of submitting to his Majesty's Government a definite proposal for the creation of a scheme of pensions for merchant seamen. At a meeting held on " the 7th inst, presided over by the Duke of Buccleuch, it was decided on the motion of Colonel Wilfrid Ashley. M.P., reconded by Mr. Basil Peto, M.P... that & con- ference be arranged with the representatives of the various organisations interested in this

priate steps being taken the Consideration of a practical scheme. With this end in view, the executive committee of the Navy League have invited the co-operation of the Mer antile Marine Service Association, and the last-named body has been asked to send a representative to the preliminary meeting, which takes place at the Navy League effices on Tuesday next, the 19th inst.

Paoling Resources la Ships.
The Allied Maritime Council, whose formation was decided upon towards the end of last year, is now in existence, and has held its first meetings in London this week, says the "Daily Chronicle" of March 14. Its object is to do for the Alliance as a whole what the institution of a Shipping Controller does for any single country. It obtains the necessary statistics, showing what are the imports- most vitally peeded by each of the Allied nations, and what shipping resources are available to carry them. It is thus enabled to arrange our various needs upon a scale according to their relative importance, and so direct the use of the available shipping that "everyone shall have bread be- fore, anyone has cake." As we are the principal shipping nation in the Alliance, there is a sense in, which every pooling sebeme of this kind is carried out at our. expense. We are, however, quite willing to make the sacrifice, where the need is clearly shown, and one of the advantages of the Council should be to enable us to make uninvidious decisions between the simultaneous claims of different Allies, where it is impossible to meet them all. A machinery of this kind if capably
practical effects to the addition of a certain amount of tonnage to the Allied resources. For actual additions we must depend chiefly on shipbuilding, and especially on that of the British yarda; but some increases are still being obtained from agreements with neutral countries. The recent agreement between America and Sweden has rendered available an increased amount of Swedish tournage; the arrangement To garding the use of the Dutch shipping at present" in Allied harbours makes a further addition, to our common resources, Useful, however, as these measures are, they are only makeshifts: 65 & permanent means of, replacing vessels sunk by: submarine there'
