But, knowing as I do how many of the men of the Mercantila Marine are foot saro ad empty-bellied to day, what I am wondering is this: the latest returns showed that a total of 284,000 officers and men wore sailing under the Red Ensign, and that of these 65,000 are foreigners and 75,000 are Lascara In other words only one-half of the working personnal of the British Mercantile Mazine is British at all." And this at a time when the ship. ping offices of the big ports are besieged- with good sesmen waiting to siga on. I ask why should this bal

The companies under which they had sailed during better times could do no more for them then let them eke out their waiting existence is this fashion... I mention this merely as symptomatic. Amongst the 65,000 foreigners sailing under the Red Engiga the proportion of mon holding tickets is so small as not to constitute a roopergible factor in this rosult. I agree that in the case of cer- tain vessels which ply regularly between British and Continental ports (such as mail and pamengor boats) the presence of a proportion of foreigners amongst the crew is inevitable. But durely not to the degree of forming considerably more than one-fourth of the total of all the white officers and men under the Red Ensign,
