GRITS LACK OF PRESCIENCE
}'esterday our Contemporary, The Patriot, cssayed the
role of naval critic and said:
“lf the war luis proven anything in Naval matters it
has shown that the great need of the Empire ill the begin'
ning was a niuch larger number of fast cruisers for com-
merce protection as well as u number of capable fighting
ships stationed in various parts ot' the world. In other
the one-iiavy-iii-one-place idea.”
Now if the war has proved anything it is the outstaiid~
ing fact of the effectiveness of the submarine, but that ln
iiowlse justifies the assertion that Dreatlnouglits are, or
eve r will be, superseded by fast cruisers or small cruisers.
Mr. li‘. T. Jane, one of the greatest naval authorities, in an
article in a British weekly dated Julie 5, fully discusses
the subject, and his conclusions are as follows:
"The upshot of all these things is thai, though a single
Dreailiiought may easily become a. victim to submarine at-
tack, it is extremely inlprobable that it fleet of Dread-
noughts will sustain (iii a general way) more than the
loss of an odd ship or two. Given a big enough fleet, there
\vill inevitably be ample forces left over. On the other
hand, given a fleet action, it is as certain as anything can
he that, by the time it is over, there will be no Dread-
iiougiils left on one side, no matter what may happen to
the other. '
"That is why we and Germany have built Dreadnouglits
against each other; that is why the Dreadnought main-
tains its Importance. Nothing is less likely than that after
this war any nation will continue to htilld Dreadnoughts
as we at present understand them. But Dreadnoughts, In
the sense of crowding the maximum offensive power into
a single vessel, will always continue to be built, and al-
ways continue to be the ‘last word.' _ _
"ln the old wars they were the first word as well as the
last word. Those days are gone, and they are never likely
to return. But so long as wars last-and there is not the
reniotest prospect that they will cease before the world
also ceases to exist-the Dreadnought idea will always
prevail. Now alid again-perhaps in this war-the Dread-
nought just as we now understand it will go under, just as
the old idea ot’ the line of battleship wont under in the
Crimea and the American Civil War.
“But the integral principle will exist for ever, be it
relegated to under the water or to the upper regions of the
air. It cannot be got away l`rom. The biggest smasher
must come out on top. Whatever smaller smashers be
built to destroy the larger, so surely as day follows night ii
slightly larger suiaslter of the small sniuslier is certain to
be introduced, and to go on being introduced till the hig-
Kest sniasher once more comes out on top of everything.
“As I have indicated, l believe that the Dreadnought,
as we understand it to-day, will go under by the time
this war is over. But there is not the ghost of a ehance
that the Dreadnought idea will ever or can ever go under
any more than the seasons or the daily course of the sun.
Anti so we have been wise to build Dreadnoughts, on the
prliiciple that 'suiiicient unto the day is the evil thereof.' "
Now allowing Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his followers to
have had the prescience to foreseethe terrible effective-
ness of submarines, which they had not, they would have
been entirely wrong in the conclusions which The Patriot
now seeks to draw. But the fact remains that the Liberals
in the House of Commons and in the Senate refused to
support the emergency vote for Dreadnoughts because
they wilfully refused to believe the evidence submitted
to them that Germany was menacing the peace of the
world, and preparing to attack and conquer the British
Empire. Nothing that may now be said in defence of that
action will wipe out the stain on their patriotism or ex-
cuse their lack of vision.
A DRASTIC ENACTMENT
The first fruits of the Coalition Government in Great
Britain is the introduction in the House of Commons to-
morrow of a Munltions Bill of a most comprehensive, dras-
tic and effective description, all the more remarkable be-
cause it has been submitted to and approved by the Trade
Unions. _
Briefly stated, the Trade Unions are to make their men
work anywhere the authorities desire, and the Govern-
ment is to limit the profits of the operators.
The main features of the new bill are those which deal
with the local munitions committees, as outlined in Mr.
Lloyd Georl‘e's Manchester and Newciistle speeches. These
committees are to be formed in every manufacturing town,
one half operators and one half trade unionists, with a
chairman who is to be chosen by Mr. Lloyd Geoirge himself.
This committee will constitute a labor court.=em|iowered to
fine any Workman who refuses to work; andfempowgrgd to
difwitvlills lily Operator or elhhlbyee whodiresks thelagree-
men . . .
Strikes and lockouts are to become fllegal the moment
the bill becomes a law, and all disputes that may hereafter
arise are to be arbltrated without cessation of work. All
trades unions rules likely to hamper production in any way
"B i0 be &bl'0£M€d, and all ammunition factories or fac-
tories utilized for the manufacture of munitions of any
kind are to be under the absolute control of the state.
The employers will be allowed to take profits for their
output on an average of the profits of the previous three
years, plus one-fifth of that average and an allowance for
depreciation of machinery. Any surplus pg-om ym be
attached by the Government. .
The operatives. skilled workmen or otherwise, are to
work in any factory that may he designated. the state pay.
ing their travelling expenses. _
The bill recognizes the status 'of the trade anions to sa
hitherto unknown. They are to be with
mol-e ilesafii resembling those or

The Tinfes, commenting on these provisions, says: “The
scheme is one of the most remarkable tn the history of

make it s success, \¥l10WlllE the only possible alternative is '

ilefeiidants were indicted on five counts., three under the
Trading with the Enemy (Amendment) Act, which allege
that they agreed to supply iron ore to the Germans. The ' .
other two are charges of aetunlly supplying ore to Krupps ‘
and another enemy firm. The case arose over a cargo of _
iron ore, which, under it contract made many years "
ago between the Nova Scotia Iron Company, whose Glas- 
gow agents were Messrs. Jacks, and a German buyer, had
left Nova Scotia in July, 1914, consigne_d_to_Rotterdam; so
that when the war broke out the goods were in actual
transit. Streiiuoua efforts were made by Messrs. Jacks to
divert the steamer, and berthage was actually secured at
Greenock. Unfortuiintely, the master of the steamer, a
Norwegian, disregarded the signals made at Dungeness,
ami proceeded to Rotterdam. Efforts to stop the vessel
at the Hook were also unsuccessful and the defendants
t_lid_not take all the means in their power to intercept the
otherwise of trading with the enemy.
