The latter has its drawbacks u ships must. be held imtil u number are assembled under an escort of fighting vessels and the convoy can proceed no faster than the slowest ship in the group. The convoy system was adopted “unwillingly? he said, as it meant a reduction of as to 35 per oent in the carrying power of the merchant fleet. "Instead of allowing the ships in sail when they like, in which case they would be finding their way past a submarine in a steady stream. we hold them up for a few dflyl. perhaps as much as a week, and then send them all together," said the spokesman. "The result is the submarine has a. discouraging wait and then. suddenly, a whole week's shipping passes him in the course of 15 or 20 minutes. And, to add to his difficulties. the submarine, with his slow speed when submerged. may not even then manage to get into a position close enough for a shot. Even if he does. he gets only one shot a week instead of two or three daily.’ Moreover an enemy vessel at- tacking e. convoy must place itself within striking distance of the es- corting war ships.

"Some there are who hold that we shall not be aisle to maintain the convoy system against air at- tack but results up to the present have been encouraging.
