NAVY'S TASK ON
CHINA COAST
IS PIRACY PATROL WORTH WHILE?
UNEMPLOYED MIGHT BE USED AS GUARDS
By J. R. LUKE
During the past seven years the British Navy has maintained a continuous patrol along the South China coast in the prevention and suppression of piracy at a cost of something like £3,000 a year.
Is this expenditure justified in the light of past experience?
It will probably be conceded, after taking all aspects of this special service into consideration, that the main- tenance of the patrols in the future, as at present organised, is not worth while. In this I think I am right in claiming the association of those on the China Station who are actively connected with the anti-piracy service.
