Meanwhile, other nations have built types of vessels peculiarly sulted for attack on trade.

Threo months Ago Lord Jellicoe said: "How is it pos- sible to secure our trade routes under such conditions? I do not hesitate to say that it is quite out of the question." The plain facts of our naval position to-day, so far as ships are concerned, are as follows:

Both these entail highly specialised construction, which can only be undertaken by a fow firms. There is, in fact, only one firm in this country which can undertake the build- ing of a battleship in all its phases. At present, the rate of production for armour-plate and gun-mountings will allow of only two battleships being laid down each year. The rate might be increased to allow three ships being built simul- taneously, but further expan= sion is not at present consider- ed possible.

During the Great War the steaming of some of our oil-fired warships had to be curtailed owing to shortage of fuel, and merchant ships other than tankers were required to import fuel oil in their double bottoms to mitigate the shortage.
