President Coolidgels dictum that any ship that flies the British flag is British is an accepted principle according to officials of depart- ment of National Defence. Canad- ian merchant ships fly the Canad- lsn Jack, the red ensign with the Canadian arm's on the fly. Any Can- adian ship not flying that flag would soon find itself in trouble they assert. The Canadian navy flies the bl-ue ensign with the Can- adian arms st the stem of the ship and the white ensign at the stern and the Union Jack on the national fbsg of Canada. A special ensign has been approved for the Royal sir craft Union Jack with a light blue‘ fly with the air force red, white and blue target on the fly.

A Committee was at that time up- pointed for this purpose, and in due course nominations were pre- sented to the Executive Committee und approved. but for some reason another General Meeting was never called to confirm, so that matters have been drifting along about as usual. I feel, however, that the time has arrived when I should bc relieved, and make wny for some- one more capable and aggressive. and who has sufficient time at his disposal tn do justice to this im- portant office. '

Every effort was made to main- tain the School of Navigation, and i um glad to say it was carried on. as usual. in an efficient manner under the instruction of Captain M. C. Allenby, R.N. The School has rendered good service to those lads desiring a Nautical education. It is felt. however, that this School would be of much greater value, and in more demand, if it was kept open, at least, nine months of the year, instead of only three or four months in the winter, as many of the Sailors in the Merchant Marine desire to lay off to take their course just ns soon us they serve the required Sea-time.
