BRITISH SEAMEN FOR BRITISH

SHIPS.

REPORT OF THE MERCANTILE makine COMMITTEE."

We understand that the Committee appointed by the Board of Trade in January, 1907, to inquire into certain questions affecting the mercantile marine have agreed upon the fol lowing recommendations : (1) The employment of properly certificated cook on every foreign. going vessel of 1,000 tons gross register and over; (2) the extension of the present systein of inspection of ship's provisions by power being given to the Board of Trade to inspect, in any xist in which they think fit, the provisions of any vessel whose probable voyage exceeds twenty-one days' duration; (3) power to be given to superin.endents to forbid the engage. ment of any foreign seaman who does not

possess a knowledge of the English language sufficient for the understanding of orders; (4) power to be given to the Board of Trade to withi kl the continuous discharge' certificate of any scuman who wilfully fails to join a vessel after signing article » ; (5) efforts to be made in increase the numbers of the Royal Naval Re serve, especially of stokers on foreign-going vessels, and by improved inducements and more active rec ubia; ; (6) a reference, by way of appeal, to a superintendent to be allowed to semmen in cases in which the master gives a bad character in discharge or "declines to repon"; (7) facilities to be given to foreign scumen who have served for four years in British ships to become, by an easy process without expense. · British subjects by naturalisation (8) theestablishment ofa system of voluntary examination and certification of masters and officers in the elements of medient knowledge; (9) the univer sal adoption in British ships of a specified scale of provisions; (ra) the provision of as com- sonable living quiriers' as can practically be given to seamen on board ship; and (11) every encouragement to be given to training ships and to the training of boys in merchant vessels with the object of increasing, the number of 'British seamen in the mercantile marine. The Committee express the view that the first four of these proposals will require legislation, but effect could be given in the succeeding recom. mendations without any change in the law.

In the course of their report, the Committee state that, in their opinion, Lascars and other Asiatics who are British subjects stand on a different footing hour foreigners, and that, apart from their claim as British subjects, they have also some claim for employmer', because British vessels have displaced the native trading vessels. Although Lascars and other Asiatics are engaged almost exclusively in steam vessels, they now exceed the total number of foreign seamen in all classes of British ships, and their increase during recent years has been very much more rapid than the decrease of Britiah or inc. case of foreign seamen employed. Lascars, it is added, are lo minat saves hasaditany sailors, and have special qualifications for work as firemen in hot climater. They are temperate, and those who appeared before the Committee made n most favourable impression. The evidence showed that they were most amenable and contented crews, and that, in consequence, their employment as firemen had grown largely, not only in the tropics, but also in vesssel trading between ports within the tropics and the United King lor. The Committee do not feel competent to express any decided opinion in regard to the employment of Lascars in men. of war, but they have no doubt of their desire to be so employed or of their competency at least in the capacity of stokers and firemen. On the whole, therefore, the Committee con- clude that the objections which may be enter tained to the employment of foreign seamen do not apply to the employment of Lascars and. other Asiatics who are British subjects. The report is signed by Sir Francis Jeune (chair- man), Mr. W. F. G. Anderson, Captain H. Acton-Blake, Mr. Burt, M.P; Captain A. J. G. Chalmers, Colonel Denny, M.P., Mr. W. J. Howell, Vice-Admiral R. M; Lloyd, Mr. W. Milbara, jun., and Mr. Havelock Wilson.-The Times.

What the conditione are against which the Britisher kicks we learn from the evidence of Mr. J. H. Longford, H.M. Consul at Nagasaki. He says: "A more unattractive home than the forecastle of an ordinary sailing ship could not easily be imagine. What it must be in the tropics, when necessarily almost hermeti- cally closed on.account of heavy weather, with damp clothes hanging in it, with orders of food and stale tobacco and foul atmosphere, is not pleasant to think of."
