That the security of the British Empire depends upon her seamen is a fact that cannot be too much stressed. Without going deeply into the matter, it is clear that in time of war personal safety rests largely upon the vigilance of the Navy, while the devoted work of the Navy and the Merchant Service can alone save the British Isles from star- vation. Economic prosperity in time of peace is indissolubly linked with the Merchant Service.
