was in favour of the adoption of a uniform international system, parti- cularly from the point of view of pilotage, and also having regard to the fact that seamen frequently serve on ships of different coun tries. It was also the general' opin-| ion that a uniform system would make for greater safety of life at sea. The discussions further show- ed that where the change had been made, no serious difficulties had been encountered; and this tact has since been confirmed by the experience of Denmark during the recent change over on the ships of that country,:

In all the circumstances, as it was clear that, there was no chance whatever of securing general agrée-] ment on the basis of the Indirect systém, as there was no reason to suppose that a change which had been successfully carried out by foreign countries could not be made equally satisfactorily by British seamen, and as to have maintained opposition to the change would have endangered unanimity on 34 other proposals to which Britain attached importance, the delegates x of Great Britain and those coun

tries which were still using the Indirect system agreed to co- operate with the others to establish

uniform International system."
