was that though there was at the moment a contraction of employ- ment as a result of the war, this contraction had been met to a very marked extent by reduction'. of hours instead of by reduction of staff; 93 per cent; of the work. people engaged in production were still wholly or partially em- plored. Moreover, the returne showed that of the contraction of.. 7 per cent in the numbere employed at least two-thirda re- present men who bave left for military or naval service and who were, therefore, not unemployed. Thus the percentage of work- people wholly unemployed (including women) had only increased by a little more than two. Itcanrot be supposed that since these investigations were made conditions have greatly. ohanged. Certainly they have not obanged for the worse; all the indications, in fact, point to improvement, and as soon as the few enemy ships which are roving about the coean highways are captured or destroyed, increased shipping facilities should help the trade of Great Britain considerably. Never has the world had a better object lesson in the advantages of gea supremacy.

The German Naval Menace and How It Was Met For the two years. 1909.10 Germany actually launched a greater warship tonnage than Great Britain, so that here again there is found proof for the necessity of our augmented ac tivity since then. During the. past five yesra Britain haslanach- ed 755,620 tons, against 517,409 tone by Germany; but it should be noted that the latter figure

available as to these. Approxi- mately our total naval expendi ture is double that of Germany, the basis of comparison being the aame; the number of men torne is 00 per cent. greater. Last year the expenditure on new con straction was 57 per cent, greater.

ed of new constration of the ages of cost and tonnage launch-

two nations is dus partly to the greater size and superiority of the British units, and in part to the fluctuations owing to the atste of progress of the various vessels in the builders' yards, and the exolasion of German sub marines, this type of craft being much more costly per ton dis- placement. In view of the re- ative extent of our coast line, and of the interests involved overseas, the excess of expendi ture is none too large, when 1
