Ceetipied Copy of a Report of the Committee of the Privy Council, approved by His Royal Highness the Governor General on the 14th November, 1914. The Committee of the Privy Council have had before them a report from the Secretary of State, dated 12th November, 1914, representing that since the outbreak of the European War a large number of Proclamations, Orders in Council and Despatches has been published in the Canada Gazette, many of which have the force of Statutes and are required to be referred to constantly by those interested in dealing with such subjects as contraband, trading with the enemy, and allied subjects, and that many applications have been made to the Department of the Secretary of State for copies of all these docu- ments. The Minister submits that it is advisable that a compilation, to date, should be prepared and published of all Proclamations, Orders in Council and Despatches published in the Canada Gazette and such documents as appear in the London Gazette as may be of interest to Canadians, together with other public documents referred to in the Gazettes aforesaid and that extra copies of all such documents as may be hereafter pubUshed in the Gazette be printed separately and issued concurrently with the issue of the Gazettes in which they may appear. The Minister, therefore, recommends that he be authorized to undertake the said compilation and to publish the same and that the cost thereof be paid by the Department of the Secretary of State out of a credit from the War Appropriation, as may subsequently be found to be necessary. The Committee concur in the foregoing and submit the same for approval. RODOLPHE BOUDREAU, Clerk of the Privy Council. The Honourable The Secretary of State. 15950— Ai The Order in Council authorizing the publication of this com- pilation referred only to such documents as appeared in the Gazettes.

As the Permanent Force are not in receipt of any higher rates of Pay and Allowance than the Officers of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces or those on Home Guard Duty — and in fact are receiving less allowances inasmuch as they are not entitled to draw Field Allowance except when they are actually in camp — ^the Minister recommends that for the period of the war. Officers of the Permanent Force be put upon the same footing as regards Outfit Allowance as all other Officers, this to take effect from the 1st January, 1916. The Committee concur in the foregoing recommendation and submit the same for approval. RODOLPHE BOUDREAU, Clerk of the Privy Council. No. 915.

The Deputy op His Royal Highness the Govebnoe Genebal IN Council. Whereas the Right Honourable the Prime Minister submits that by reason of the war his duties as Prime Minister and as Secretary of State for External Affairs have increased the demands upon his time and energies to such an extent that War Documents . 2013 the efficient and prompt attendance to such duties makes necessary the assistance of a Parliamentary Under-Secretary: Therefore the Deputy of the Governor General in Council is pleased to authorize and doth hereby authorize the appoint- ment of a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for External Affairs during the continuance of the war. The Deputy of the Governor General in Council, under and in virtue of the provisions of the War Measures Act 1914,* is further pleased to make the following orders and regulations and the same are hereby made and enacted accordingly. Regulations Respecting the Parliamentary Under-Secre- tary OF State for External Affairs. 1. During the continuance of the present war the Governor in Council may from time to time appoint a Senator or a member of the House of Commons to be Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for External Affairs. 2.

AT THE GOVERNMENT HOUSE AT OTTAWA. Saturday, the 15th day of July, 1916. present: The Deputy of His RoYAii Highness the Governor General in Council. Whereas owing to the war the duties of the Minister of Militia and Defence have enormously increased, and frequently occasion his absence from the seat of G<)vemment as well when Parliament is in session as during the recess; And Whereas in the absence of the ^Minister of Militia and Defence it is often necessary to appoint a Member of the Cabinet to act as Minister of Militia and Defence, and, as the same Member of the Cabinet cannot always be so appointed, there is a great danger of a lack of uniformity and continuity in the oversight and administration of the Department of Militia and Defence. Therefore the Deputy of His Royal Highness the Gover- nor General in Council is pleased — during the continuance of the present war — to authorize the appointment of a Parliamentary Secretary who shall assist the Minister of Militia and Defence, and within certain limits shall act for him during his absence, and the said appointment is hereby authorized accordingly.

The Parliamentary Secretary shall ex-officio be a member of the Militia Council and in the absence of the Minister he shall act as chairman thereof. 4. In the absence of the Minister from Ottawa, the Par- liamentary Secretary shall preside over and administer the Department of Militia and Defence, but he shall not make any change in the policy of the Department without the authority of the Governor in Council. 5. In the absence of the Minister of Militia and Defence, and subject to the approval of the Prime Minister, the Parlia- mentary Secretary shall have authority to report to and make recommendations to the Governor in Council through the Prime Minister. 6.

Note (2). — ^Where a firm named in the List has more than one branch in the same country, all branches in that country are held to be included in the List even in cases where no address, or of several addresses one only is specifically mentioned. Note (3). — The List for each country is sent by telegraph to His Majesty's Representative in that country, who wiU notify British Consular Officers, to whom persons abroad should apply for information as to names on the List; but firms in the United Kingdom with branches abroad are advised to furnish such branches with copies of the Statutory List. The Lists for all countries in Central and South America are also tele- graphed to His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington. The Foreign Trade Department is prepared on application to inquire of His Majesty's Representatives abroad for the names of substitutes for any firm on the Statutory List. When the applicant wishes this done by telegraph he must undertake to pay the cost of the telegraphic correspondence. A consider- able amount of information is, however, already available at the Foreign Trade Department, and it is hoped that it may be possible in many cases to suggest the names of satisfactory substitutes in response to inquiries, without the necessity, of referring the matter abroad. It would greatly facilitate the work of this Department if applicants in making inquiries 'Page4S0. ^ Page 908. 2034 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. would specify the particular trade, or trades, for which substi- tutes are required.

He volunteered for and carried out, with another officer, a very dan- gerous reconnaissance in face of heavy fire, and secured information of the utmost value regarding the enemy. Captain Robert Murdie, 5th Canadian Infantry Battalion, for conspicuous gallantry and ability. During a long continued and very heavy bombardment of his trench 2068 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada by the enemy he set a fine example of cool courage, and by his skilful dispositions materially reduced the casualties. His Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to confer the Military Cross on the undermentioned officers and warrant ofiicers in recognition of their gallantry and devotion to duty in the field : — Captain John Arthur Cullum, Canadian A.M.C. (attached 28th Canadian Infantry Battalion), for conspicuous gallantry. During a very heavy bombardment by the enemy he saw a sergeant bm-ied in his dug-out by a direct hit. He at once went out and at great personal risk succeeded in rescuing the sergeant and taking him to the dressing-station. On many previous occasions he has displayed great coolness under fire. Captain Herbert Ernest Curmning, No. 4 Field Ambulance, Canadian Army Medical Corps, for conspicuous gallan- try and devotion to duty when carrying out his duties during the heavy bombardment of a battery of artillery by the enemy.

War Documents. 2069 Lieutenant Peter Louis Stuart Browne, 22nd Canadian Infantry Battalion, for conspicuous gallantry. He was holding a portion of the front line trench with a machine gun and six men, when the enemy, after a heavy bombardment, attacked.

Finally he checked any further advance by the enemy till he was reUeved. Lieutenant John Arnold Jackson, 29th Canadian Infantry Battalion, for conspicuous gallantry. He hung on a battered enemy trench throughout an intense bombard- ment. He then volunteered and led a very dangerous patrol under heavy fire, and on his return, held his post all next day though quite exhausted. Lieutenant Ernest Henry Latter, 6th Canadian Infantry Battalion, for consistent gallantry and good work, notably when he handled his men with great coolness and judgment during a heavy bombardment, and carried three wounded men across a wide breach in the parapet under fire from snipers. Lieutenant Robert Wynyard Powell, 4th Field Company, Canadian Engineers, for conspicuous gallantry. When in charge of a working party he carried on his work during several days and nights with the greatest coolness under heavy artillery and machine-gun fire and frequent bombing attack. He assisted the wounded and set a fine example to his men. He was himself twice wounded during this period. Lieutenant George Alexander Speer, 21st Canadian Infan- try Battalion, for conspicuous gallantry. He led a bombing party with great dash and drove the enemy out of a trench from which another imit had been driven, capturing important point and securing the trench. Lieutenant Francis Bassall Winter, 26th Canadian Infantry Battalion, for conspicuous gallantry when leading a successful raid into the enemy's trenches. He was the first man in and the last out of the enemy's trench, and brought back his wounded under heavy fire.

Whilst naviga- ting between Hay Hole Point and the Pier Heads, no vessel should attempt to overhaul and pass ahead of another vessel proceeding in the same direction. When crossing the line of the Boom, all vessels are to pre- serve a mid-channel course as far as is consistent with safe navigation. Vessels of 25 feet draught and above are to stop their engines when crossing the line of the Boom at or about the time of low water. Incoming and outgoing vessels must not cross the line of the Boom at the same time.

Order in Council remitting the duty on Alcohol used in the Manu- facture of Munitions. P.C. 1877. Certified Copy of a Report of the Committee of the Privy Council, approved by His Royal Highness the Governor General on the 5th August, 1916. The Committee of the Privy Council have had before them a report, dated 28th July, 1916, from the Right Honourable the Prime Minister, for the Minister of Inland Revenue, submitting that under section 252 of The Inland Revenue Act, the Depart- ment of Inland Revenue is directed to levy and collect a duty of War Documents . 2089 thirty cents a gallon on all alcotol imported in bond into Canada, The Minister states that under section 254 of the said Act, the Department is authorized to refund said duty upon satis- factory proof of the exportation of the said alcohol, or of products manufactured therewith; That it appears that certain Munition Factories engaged in the manufacture of explosives to be exported for war purposes, find themselves forced to procure their alcohol outside of Canada, and on which under section 252 they are compelled to pay a duty of thirty cents per gallon thereby disbursing large sums of money, which will be refunded to them only after a certain interval of time; That this obligation on their part is liable to cause financial embarrassment to them without any advantage whatever accruing to the Government of Canada. The Minister therefore recommends that during the period of the war, the above-mentioned dispositions of the Inland Revenue Act be suspended in regard to manufacturers engaged in the fabrication of explosives for exportation, and that the duty of thirty cents per gallon be not collected upon the impor- tation of the alcohol, but charged to said manufacturers, and credited to them upon satisfactory proof of the exportation of the explosives. The Committee concur in the foregoing recommendation and submit the same for approval. RODOLPHE BOUDREAU, Clerk of the Privy Council. 2090 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. No. 947.

Saturday, the 5th day of August, 1916. present: His Royal Highness the Governor General in Council. Whereas it has been found that the regulations made and established by Order in Council of 6th January, 1916, P.C. 3057,* with the view to punishing and preventing the offence of absence without leave from the Active Militia and the Over- seas Expeditionary Force, need amendment, therefore, the Governor General in Council is pleased to order that the said Order in Council shall be and the same is hereby cancelled. The Governor General in Council, with the same purpose in view, and under and in virtue of the power conferred by section 6 of The War Measures Act, is further pleased to order and it is hereby ordered as follows: — 1. Every man of the Active Militia of Canada, and every soldier of the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Forces who absents himseK from the corps or imit to which he belongs without the leave of the commanding ofl&cer of such corps or unit, is guilty of an offence and liable upon summary conviction under the provisions of part XV of the Criminal Code to impri- sonment, with or without hard labour, for a term not exceeding two years. 2. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Criminal Code, or any other Act or law, any justice of the peace, police or stipendiary magistrate shall have jurisdiction to hear, try and determine any charge of an offence of absence without leave although the offence may have been committed or be charged to have been committed outside the territorial division in which such justice, police or stipendiary magistrate ordinarily has or exercises his jurisdiction. * Page 1071. War Documents. 2091 3. The production of a service roll or attestation paper purporting to be signed by the accused and purporting to be an engagement by him to serve in the corps or unit from which he is charged with being absent without leave shall be sufl&cient proof that the accused was duly enlisted in the said corps or unit, and a written statement purporting to be signed by the officer commanding or administering a military district in Canada and stating that the accused is absent from the corps or unit to which he belongs, shall be prima facie proof that the accused is absent without leave from such corps or unit, and shall be suflBcient to cast upon the accused the onus of proving that his absence from the corps or imit was duly authorized. 4. Nothing in these regulations shall in anywise limit or affect the right of the military authorities to proceed in respect of any such offence according to the provisions of military law, but a person accused shall not be subject to be tried both by a military tribunal and by a civil court for the same ofifence. 5. The military pay and allowance of any person who has been convicted of absence without leave from his corps or from the unit to which he belongs may be stopped to make good any loss, damage or destruction by him done or permitted to any arms, anmnmition, equipment, clothing, instruments or re- gimental necessaries, the value of which the Minister of Militia and Defence has directed him to pay.

Note (2). — ^Where a firm named in the List has more than one branch in the same countrp^, all branches in that country are held to be included in the List even in cases where no address, or of several addresses one only is specifically mentioned. Note (3). — The List for each country is sent by telegraph to His Majesty's Representative in that country, who will notify British Consular Ofl&cers,"to whom persons abroad should apply for information as to names on the List; but firms in the United Kingdom with branches abroad are advised to furnish such branches with copies of the Statutory List. The Lists for all coimtries in Central and South America are also telegraph- ed to His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington. The Foreign Trade Department is prepared on application to inquire of His Majesty's Representatives abroad for the names of substitutes for any firm on the Statutory List. When the applicant wishes this done by telegraph he must undertake to pay the cost of the telegraphic correspondence. A con- siderable amoimt of information is, however, already available at the Foreign Trade Department, and it is hoped that it may be possible in many cases to suggest the names of satisfactory substitutes in response to inquiries, without the necessity of referring the matter abroad. It would greatly facilitate the work of this Department if apphcants m making inquiries would specify the particular trade, or trades, for which substitutes are required. War Documents. 2107 No. 952.

Wesley Allison from the list of Honorary Colonels. P.C. 1930. Certified Copy of a Report of the Committee of the Privy Council, approved by His Royal Highness the Governor General on the 12th August, 1916. The Committee of the Privy Coimcil have had before them a memorandum, dated 8th August, 1916, from the Honourable R. Rogers, for the Prime Minister, submitting a report from the War Documents. 2161 Parliamentary Secretary of the Department of Militia and Defence, in which he concurs, stating that the report of the Honourable Sir William Meredith and the Honourable Mr. Justice Duff, under the commission issued on the 3rd day of April last,* contains the following finding with regard to Col. J. Wesley Allison: — " In view of all the circumstances and the subsequent conduct of Allison when, as he said, he first learned that provi- sion had been made for a commission to Yoakmn, it is diflScult to accept his statement that, throughout the transactions in connection with the contract with the American Ammunition Company, he had no thought of a commission or of the possibility of Yoakum receiving a commission in which he would be entitled to share, and that he supposed, until he learned other- wise after the contract had been entered into, that Bassick, Cadwell and Yoakum would unite in providing the necessary capital, and themselves undertake the production of the fuses, either as co-adventurers or through a company which they would organize and of which they would be the share- holders. " After having given the matter our gravest consideration, we are compelled to the conclusion that Allison's explanation cannot be accepted, and to find that, while professing to be acting as the friend of General Hughes and to be doing what he did solely out of friendship for him, and without any expectation or intention of receiving any remuneration for his services, Allison was instrmnental in bringing about a contract in. which, through his agreement with Yoakum of February, 1915, he was pecuniarily interested, with the knowledge that he would be entitled to share equally with Yoakum in any benefit that Yoakum might receive, either by way of commission or other- wise. We have only to add that if we had come to a different conclusion and had accepted Allison's statement, we would have been bound to say that his conduct in taking the benefit of the agreement as to the commission and accepting a right to share in it equally with Yoakum, without informing General Hughes and the Shell Committee and obtaining their consent, could not be either justified or excused." The ParUamentary Secretary of the Department of Militia and Defence, having regard to this finding and to aU the circum- stances detailed in the Commission's Report, and the evidence upon which it is founded, considers it undesirable that Col. J. Wesley Allison should be retained on the Ust of Hono]fary Colone ls of the Canadian Militia. •Page 1456. 15950—14* 2162 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada.

Supplement to ike London Gazette, 11th August, 1916 — IMh August, 1916. [29704] Regulation of Foreign Exchanges. Loan of securities to the Treasury. (Scheme B.) The Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury hereby give notice that as from the 14th August, 1916, they will be prepared to accept certain securities upon deposit on the foUowing terms and conditions:— (1) The securities to which this scheme applies will be: — (a) Those specified in the annexed list. (6) Such as may from time to time be added to that list by public notice. (c) Such American Dollar Securities as are from time to time being accepted for deposit imder the scheme of 24th March, 1916 (Scheme A). (2) Holders of American Dollar Securities who have already deposited them under Scheme A. (Deposit on loan for two years) may transfer their deposit to Scheme B. by giving notice not later than 14th September, 1916, of their desi];e to do so (such notice to be given on a form to be obtained at the National Debt Office, 19, Old Jewry, E.C.). This form, when approved, wiU be returned for lodgment with the Certificate of Deposit (or provisional receipt) so that the transfer to Scheme B. may be completed. (3) The securities will be transferred to the Treasury for a period to expire at the end of five years from the 31st March, 1917, subject to the right of the Treasury to return them to the holders at any titne on or after the 31st March, 1919, on giving three calendar month's notice in writing of their iutention to do War Documents. 2163 SO. If any of the securities are paid off during the period of deposit, the amount received in respect of the repayment will be paid over to the depositor in sterling on surrender of the deposit certificate (in case of non-sterling securities at the exchange of the day on which the repayment is received). (4) While the securities are on deposit with the Treasury the lender will receive from the Treasury all interest and divi- dends paid in respect of them and also, by way of consideration for the loan a payment at the rate of one half of one per cent, per annum, calculated, on the face value of the securities. (5) At the end of the period of deposit the securities or other securities of the same description and to the same nominal amount wiU, subject to the provisions of paragraph (6), be returned to the lender by the Treasury. (6) The Treasury will have the right at any time during the currency of the loan to dispose of the securities should they find it necessary to do so, but in the event of their being so dis- posed of, the lender will continue to receive from the Treasury the same payments as he would have received if the securities had been retained, and at the end of the period of the loan, the Treasury will either return to him securities of the same descrip- tion and to the same nominal amount as those originally deposit- ed, or, at their option, they wiU pay to him the deposit value of the securities with an addition of 5 per cent, on that value, plus accrued interest from the last preceding interest date. In the case of securities in respect of which the holder is entitled to repayment at a fixed date or by drawings within a fixed period the Treasury when making payment wiU, if the deposit value plus 5 per cent, is less than the redemption value, make a further addition of an amoxmt equal to the enhancement in value due to the approach of the date of redemption while the securities have been upon deposit. For the purposes of this paragraph "deposit value" means in the case of sterling securi- ties the net mean quotation (i.e., the quoted price less accrued iaterest or dividend in cases in which such accrued interest or dividend is included in the quoted price) on the London Stock Exchange of the day preceding the publication of the notice including the securities of the Treasury list for deposit under Scheme B. and in the case of dollar securities the sterling equivalent at the exchange of the day of the net quotation of the New York Stock Exchange of that day. In case of unquoted 2164 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. securities or quoted securities in respect of which the current quotation may not be regarded as representing the true market value, the prices will be fixed by the Treasury. Thus, for all securities included under headings (a) and (c), clause (1), and all securities transferred from Scheme A. the day for fixing the deposit value wiU be August 11th, 1916, and for additional securities under heading (b) the day preceding the notice of their inclusion in the scheme. (7) Holdings of £1,000 ($5,000) and upwards will be accepted for deposit by the Treasury through the American Dollar Securities Committee, 19 Old Jewry, E.G. Arrange- ments for the aggregation of smaller holdings for purposes of deposit will be made by bankers and other agents as under Scheme A. (8) Holders of bearer bonds (or share certificates transfer- able by delivery) wiU be required to lodge the bonds and coupons with the Treasury, and holders of registered stock or bonds will be required to execute a transfer of such stock or bonds. Bonds upon which British stamp duty has not previously been paid may be deposited unstamped. When the bonds have been lodged with the Treasury, or when the transfer of the stock or bonds has been registered in the Company's books, the bonds or stock will be entered in the holder's name in a special register kept by the Treasury for the purpose, and a certificate of entry in this register will be issued to the holder. The title of bonds or stock entered in the Treasury Register may be transferred upon that register by deed in the ordinary way. In the case of registered stock or bonds, the Treasury will bear aU charges in respect of the original transfer into their name in the Company's books, and of the re-transfer in the Company's books into the name of the-person in whose name the stock or bonds stand in the Treasury Register when finally released; transfer deeds for intermediate transfers in the Treasury Register will be subject to stamp duty in ordinary course, and to registration fee of 2s. 6d. All transfer deeds in respect of bearer bonds or share- certificates transferable by delivery will be free of stamp duty and registration fee. At the end of the period of the loan the bonds or certificates deposited (or bonds or certificates identical as far as possible in all respects with those deposited) will, subject to paragraph (6), be delivered to the depositor upon surrender of the deposit certificate. The Treasury will, if War Documents . 2165 desired, exercise as far as possible the voting and other rights attached to the securities in the way that the owners of the deposited securities may indicate. (9) Arrangements have been made by the Stock Exchange Committee for dealings on the Stock Exchange in the deposit certificates of securities deposited under the scheme. , (10) The interest and dividends on aU deposited securities together with the additional payment at the rate of one-haK of one per cent per annum, will be paid to the holder for the time being on the Treasury Register, by warrant, as soon as they* have been received by the Treasury. Non-sterling dividends wiU be paid in sterling at the exchange of the day on which the Treasury books are closed for the pm-pose of preparing the warrants.

Former Notice. — No. 669 of 1916;* hereby cancelled. Mariners are hereby warned that under the Defence of the Reahn (Consolidation) Regulations, 1914, the following B«gu- lations have been made by the Lords Commissioner* of the Admiralty and are now in force: — * Page 1896. War Documents . 2189 Section 1. (1) Until further notice, the following Regulations are to be observed by all merchant vessels approaching or moving in the Firth of Forth, i.e., westward of a line joining Barns Ness and North Carr Rock. (2) All orders and instructions given by the King's Harbour Master, or by any patrol vessel, are to be implicitly obeyed, otherwise vessels will be liable to be fired upon. Section II. Instructions to Shipowners, Agents, Masters, etc. : — (3) Shipowners, Agents, Masters of Ships and other persons concerned are advised that, in their own interests and the interest of those whom they represent, they should assist in every possible way to conform to these Regulations. (4) Shipowners and Agents must give not less than 24 hours' notice in writing to "The Trinity House, Leith," of the following particulars regarding vessels arriving, so that they may be readily identified: — 1. Name of vessel. 2. Nationality. 3. Net tonnage. 4. Where from . 5. Where bound. 6. Nature of cargo. 7. Number of passengers. 8. Any particulars of appearance which might assist identification at sea. Note. — If a vessel does not arrive within a reasonable time after this Notice has been given, it will be presumed that she has either been diverted to another port, or sailing cancelled, and her name will be removed from the list of expected arrivals. (5) Ships outward bound must tiflae their departure so as to be clear of the Firth of Forth before commencement of Official Night. (6) Fishing boats' numbers are to be kept distinctly painted. (7) No merchant vessel is permitted to be under way in Firth of Forth to the west-ward of Inchkeith during the hours of "Official Night". 2190 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. (8) No merchant vessel is permitted to enter or leave the Docks at Leith or Granton during the hours of "Official Night." Special arrangements, which are notified from time to time, are made for merchant vessels entering and leaving docks at ports East of Inchkeith. (9) (a) Whilst lying at anchor off Leith or Granton, vessels are to arrange for a night watch to be kept, with special orders to particularly observe the night signals shown by the Examin- ation Vessel anchored in Leith Roads, in order that the "Riding lights" for a ship at anchor may be exhibited directly that vessel shows "Night Distinguishing Signal" (three Red lights vertical). See Section III. Riding lights are to be kept trimmed, lit and at hand whefe they are easily and quickly accessible when required. ^ i^ (b) The side ladder and a boat should be kept ready for use. AU boats are to be kept hoisted close up to the davits during the hours of Official Night. (c) The wireless room is to be locked, and no wireless messages are to be taken or despatched whilst the ship is in the Firth of Forth. (d) No lights are to be visible from outboard other than navigation lights. Scuttles and skylights are to be effectively screened, or cabin lights kept extinguished. (e) Anchors lights are not to be exhibited when off Leith or Granton, unless the "Night Distinguishing Signal" (three Red lights hoisted vertically) is shown by the Examination Vessel. The Examination Vessel anchored in Leith Roads wiU only show this signal on occasions when it is considered necessary by the Deputy Examining Officer. Vessels at anchor off Leith or Granton should keep a smart look-out, and when the "Night Distinguishing Signal" is shown by the Examination Vessel are immediately to exhibit the customary "riding lights" of a ship at anchor. Failure by mercantile vessels off Leith and Granton to exhibit riding lights when "Night Distinguishing Signal" is shown by the Examination Vessel will put upon the master of the vessel which has failed to exhibit such riding lights the respon- sibility for any damage that may occur through neglect to carry out this order. War Documents. 2191 (/) Merchant vessels berthed in Leith and Granton docks and harbours are prohibited from having any lights visible from outward during the hours of "Official Night", unless such vessel is actually engaged in working cargo. All such lights are to be screened from overhead and from seaward when possible. (g) Navigation hghts are to be kept well trimmed and burning brightly when inside the Firth of Forth if under way. (10) When inward bound, The National Colours and number (or distinguishing signal) are to be hoisted on passing May island, and kept flying until the vessel docks. (11) Care is to be taken that aU flags displayed are showing clearly. If the weather is calm any flag signal which the vessel is ordered by an Examination Steamer to hoist should be shaken out so as to render it readily distinguishable. (12) As little smoke as possible is to be allowed to escape from the funnels, and care is to be taken that neither lights nor flags are obscured by it. (13) During thick or foggy weather, all mercantile traffic is to cease. Mercantile traffic is also to cease on all occasions when the Firth of Forth has been declared "Closed" by the King's Harbour Master. (14) The Firth of Forth is always "Closed" during "Officijal Night." Section III. Distinguishing Signals of Examination Steamers. (15) Armed Examination steamers will be found at the Examination Station (see Section VII) and also at the Examina- tion Anchorage, and wiU be distinguished by the following means.

When the Firth of Forth is "Closed" three Red balls vertical will be hoisted in addition. By Night. — Three red lights vertically 6 feet apart, conspicuously displayed at the end of a yard so as to show an unbroken light round the horizon. Masters of merchant vessels must approach these vessels with care, and see that when stopped they are in a favourable position for the Boarding Officer coming alongside, and that a boat-rope and side-ladder are in position. 15950—16 2192 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Section IV — Navigation in the Firth of Forth.

(19) No vessel is permitted to enter the Firth of Forth between the Isle, of May and the South shore of the Firth of Forth. (20). Merchant vessels approaching the Firth of Forth during the hours of darkness are to maintain a steady course and speed, and are to so arrange their speed that they shall not reach the Isle of May before "Official Day" and will thus avoid having to reduce speed or stop in the vicinity of the Isle of May where they may render themselves liable to be fired upon by shore batteries or patrol boats. (21) All merchant vessels are forbidden to enter the Firth of Forth during the hours of "Official Night" or during thick or foggy weather except such vessels provided for in Clause 24 of this section. (22) All merchant vessels entering the Firth of Forth are to proceed to the Examining Station to be passed by the Examining Officer and given the "Special Signal" before proceeding to any port in the Firth of Forth. On arrival at the Examining Station they are to "heave to" and await instructions from the Examination steamer. If then ordered to the Examination Anchorage, they are to proceed there, anchor, and await further instructions. In the mean- time they are to hold no communication with any other merchant vessel or with the shore without permission. (23) If they arrive during the hours of "Official Night" or in thick or foggy weather, they must anchor outside the limits War Documents . 2193 of the Firth of Forth (see definition of limits in Section 1) except as provided for in clause (24).

(27) When the Firth of Forth is "Open" to the traffic of merchant shipping the following signal will be displayed at the various ports east of Oxcars. One Red ball, indicating that merchant vessels anchored in the roads off any port are at liberty to proceed. No merchant vessel is to proceed until one Red Ball is hoisted as f oUows : — Leith. — From the Examination Steamer anchored in the Examination Anchorage. ^ Inchkeith. — From the Flagstaff at the Signal Station. Burntisland. — From the Middle Lighthouse. Kirkcaldy. — From the Flagstaff at the Harbour Master's Office. Methil.— From a Flagstaff at the Dock Gate. Wemyss. — ^At the entrance to Wemyss Harbour. Dysart. — ^From the East Pier at the entrance to Dysart Harbour. Granton. — From Flagstaff at Central Pier. 15950—161 2194 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. The Licensed Trinity Pilot in charge of a merchant vessel will be held personally responsible that such vessel' does not leave her anchorage until the above mentioned signal is hoisted. The Red Ball wiU be hoisted at the commencement of "Official Day" if the Firth of Forth is not "Closed" for any reason, and will be hauled down at the commencement of "Official Night." Note. — It will be hauled down on all occasions when the Firth of Forth is "Closed" to merchant shipping traffic by order of the King's Harbour Master, Rosyth, and wiU be rehoisted by order of the King's Harbour Master, Rosyth, when the Firth of Forth is "Opened" again to mercantile traffic. Section VI — Signals Indicating Firth of Forth "Closed." (28) Whenever the Firth of Forth is "Closed" during the day the following signals will be displayed. Three Red balls vertical will be hoisted by each Examination Steamer and also at Inchkeith and at the principal ports in the Firth of Forth. The single Red ball which is hoisted at the principal ports in the Firth of Forth east of Oxcars, to indicate that the Firth of Forth is "Open," will at the same time be hauled down. Note. — By night the Firth of Forth is closed to all mercan- tile shipping except as provided for in clause (24) . Section VII — Position of the Examination Station. (29) The Examination Station is in latitude 56° 04' N., Longitude 3° 04' W. (30) Vessels are not under any circumstances to attempt to pass in from the Examining Station without obtaining permis- sion from the Examination Steamer, or to leave the Examination Anchorage, or to communicate with the shore or any other vessel, without first obtaining permission from the Examination Vessel. (See Appendix "A" Warnings to Masters.) Section VIII — Pilots and Pilotage. (31) It will be compulsory for all vessels to have a licensed pilot on board when navigating the Firth of Forth. War Documents. 2195 Incoming vessels will pick up the pilot from the Pilot vessel which will be found in the vicinity of the Examining Station during the hours of "Official Day." Outward-bound vessels from ports west of Inchkeith are to proceed to the Examining Station and discharge their pilot there. Outward-bound vessels from ports east of Inchkeith will discharge their pilots when the main route channel is reached, whence the Masters wiU receive detailed instructions from the pilot how they are to proceed. Section IX — Caution as to Anchoring. (32) No merchant vessel will be permitted to anchor within the limits of the Firth of Forth, except as hereinafter stated, unless — (a) To avoid, or after an accident. (6) Her further progress is prevented by unforeseen circum- stances, (c) During thick or foggy weather. When anchoring, care must be taken to be well clear of the fairway; (33) If a vessel has to anchor for any of the reasons shown (a, b, or c, above) she is to hoist "Not under Control" signals, and keep them displayed so long as she remains at anchor. (34) Merchant vessels, after passing the Examination Steamer, may proceed during the hours of "Official Day" to anchor off the port of destination, if other than Leith or Granton, in charge of a pilot on the understanding that they are to dock on the next succeeding tide unless prevented by weather or other conditions beyond their control. The pilot in charge of the vessel is responsible that no contravention of the Traffic Regulations of the Firth of Forth occiu- during this period. Such a vessel is to show by night the ordinary riding lights of a ship at anchor unless ordered to the contrary. If whilst a merchant vessel is lying at anchor off any port east of Oxcars in the Firth of Forth, the weather conditions become so unfavourable as to jeopardise the safety of the vessel in the position in which she is then lying, the pilot may use his discretion and get under way to proceed under the lee of Inch- 2196 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. keith in the case of easterly gales and to Kirkcaldy in the case of westerly gales. In doing this, he is responsible that the vessel carries navigation lights, proceeds at slow speed, and keeps out of the fairway. Section X — Patrol of Internal Waterways and Approaches to the Firth of Forth. (35) The Firth of Forth, as well as the approaches thereto, will be patrolled by Naval Patrol Boats or other Government vessels. Masters of merchant vessels and persons in charge of small craft are hereby warned to observe any orders which may be given by the naval patrols. Merchant vessels and small craft wiU be subject to inspec- tion and search, and will be liable to be fired upon in the event of disobedience to the orders given them by the patrols.

Former Notice. — No. 1017* of 1915; hereby cancelled. Mariners are hereby warned that, under the Defence of the Realm (Consolidation) Regulations, 1914,^ the following regulations with regard to Pilotage of the River Humber have been made by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and are now in force: — 1. All pilotage certificates granted to master and mates for the whole or any part of the Humber Pilotage District are suspended and further all vessels (irrespective of draught, size, or nationality, but with the exception of those provided for in ♦Page 854. ^App. 284. War Documents. 2199 paragraph 2) bound to or from any place on the Humber must be conducted by licensed pilots over the whole or any part of the waters between Hull and the Outer Pilotage station of the Humber Pilotage District, which until further notice, will be situated in the neighbourhood of the BuU-light-vessel. 2. In the case of lighter inter-dock traffic and of small British vessels engaged in local trade above Immingham, pilotage by licensed pilots is not compulsory. 3. During the hours of official night, and during fog with visibility of less than half-a-mile, no traffic is permitted to move on the Humber below Paull point, also when these conditions prevail no vessel should enter or remain within a radius of five miles from Humber (late Spurn) hght vessel. 4. A vessel should not approach the Humber unless there is sufficient time available to enable such vessel to obtain a pilot and to arrive at her destination, or at a position in which she is permitted to anchor, before the commencement of official night. 5. No vessel should anchor whilst awaiting a pilot. 6. Vessels when leaving the Humber must proceed direct to sea. Should it be necessary to wait for the weather to moderate or clear they must remain inside the river at an authorized anchorage. The pilot lobbies will be notified when the existence of fog outside the river is known. 7. A pilot should not board a vessel unless there is sufficient time available to enable such vessel to arrive at her destination, or at a position in which she is permitted to anchor, before the commencement of official night. The latest time at which the pilot cutter stationed at the Bull light-vessels should board inward-boui;id vessels is one hour before the commencement of official night. Vessels bound outward should not pass Hawkins Point later than 45 minutes before the commencement of official night. 8. All vessels proceeding into or out of the Humber must be navigated by way of Hawke and Sunk roads passing to the northward of the Bull light-vessel, except those outward-bound from Grimsby, which may cross the Middle shoal leaving the Middle Ught-vessel on the starboard hand; but they must pass at once into the channel north of the Middle after rounding the light-vessel. 2200 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Note. — The five-fathom channel through the Sunk and Hawke roads is very narrow at the western entrance and also at a point north of the Middle light-vessel; deep-draught vessels steaming against the tide when approaching the buoys marking these portions of the channel should endeavour to avoid passing others between them by easing engines to allow ships with the tide under them to get through first. Smaller vessels outward bound should pass close to the Southward of the buoys marking the south side, and those inward-bound, close to the northward of the buoys marking the north side of the narrow portions of the channel, proAdded always that their draught of water and the state of the tide will admit. 9. Sailing vessels of 50 tons register and upwards when entering or leaving the Humber must be towed through Hawke road. Should tugs not be available, inward-bound vessels may anchor north-westward of the No. 2 Lower Middle light-float at a distance of not more than IJ^ mile from it, but they must not bring the before-mentioned light-float to bear to the southward, of 128° (S. 36° E. Mag.) 10. The passage into and out of the eastern end of the channel south of the Burcom is closed with the exception of passage 50 feet wide long the face of the western entrance pier at Grimsby Royal Dock. Vessels are prohibited from approach- ing the defences in this part of the river nearer than one-quarter of a mile except to pass alongside the face of the western entrance pier as described, or to enter the docks at Grimsby. 11. Prohibited Anchorage Areas. I. Anchorage is prohibited for all vessels between two imaginary lines: (a) Joining Stone Creek coast guard flag-staff and the eastern extremity of the eastern jetty at Imming- ham. (6) Joining the riverward beacon of the two centre measured mile beacons on Sunk island and the northernmost of two clumps shown southward of Stallingborough on Admiralty Chart No. 109. The latter line passes through the position of No. 6 Upper Burcom buoy. II. No merchant vessel shall anchor (except when granted special permission) between the before-mentioned prohibited anchorage area No. 1 and the line of transit of War Documents . 2201 the eastern measured mile beacons on Sunk island produced to the Lincolnshire shore or (except as provided for in para- graph 9) to the northward of the hne of the Killingholme leading Hghts or within 13^ cables of any of the Admiralty mooring buoys. III. Anchorage is prohibited to merchant vessels over the whole of Grimsby roads to the eastward of the line joining New Glee railway station and Patrington Ghurch. IV. No vessel may anchor in the area eastward of Grimsby Docks shown as prohibited on Admiraly Chart No. 109 "Entrance to the River Humber." 12. All vessels entering or leaving Grimsby Docks must pass to the southward of the No. 4 Lower Burcom gas-float except those bound up and down the river inside the Burcom shoal which are exempted from this condition, but no vessel may cross the Burcom shoal between the No. 5 Middle Burcom and No. 4 Lower Burcom buoys. 13. No vessel may approach within a quarter of a mile of the boom defence or within three cables of any of H.M. ships at anchor in the Humber provided the depth of water and circum- stances of navigation will admit of keeping this distance. 14. All vessels employed in laying moorings, raising wrecks, etc., must be passed at slow speed, propelling engines being eased at least 300 yards before reaching such vessels and so continued for 150 yards after passing them. While the said mooring or wreck raising craft are at work they will each fly a red flag. 15. No tug is permitted to tow more than three craft at one time through a gateway of the boom defence. Owners of tugs may apply to the Humber Conservancy Board for pilot Ucences for the masters of their vessels which wiU enable them to pilot their own vessels and river craft comprising their tow (in certain parts of the river). The number of craft towed will be restricted according to the power of the tug. 16. Humber Rule No. 18 is to be strictly enforced. No sound signals other than navigation signals authorised by the Regulations for preventing Collisions at Sea, and by Humber Rules Nos. 14 to 16 (inclusive) at all times of the day or night, and No. 17 during the day only, are on any account to be used by vessels in any part of the Humber, the Old Harbour at Hull, or within any of the docks at Hull, Inmaingham or Grimsby. 2202 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. 17. Owners of small vessels plying in the vicinity of the Humber are instructed not to paint their craft light grey, and are hereby directed to have any vessels so coloured repainted. They are warned that small vessels painted grey run a great risk of being fired upon in mistake for submarines. Vessels painted black, run the least risk. Regulations affecting ■ small craft in the Vicinity of Clee- thorpes. 18. Pleasure boats may ply for hire at Cleethorpes only between the eastern and western sewer outfall beacons, and must keep within a distance of one mile from the shore. No vessel is allowed to shrimp, fish with lines, trawl, deposit or take up whelks or anchor southward of the prohibited area shown on Admiralty Chart No. 109 between Grimsby docks entrance and a line drawn across the river three miles below it. Notwithstanding anything in these Orders, rowing boats may pass along the shore at Cleethorpes, but they must keep within 400 yards of the high water mark of spring tides. EXCURSIONS BY WATER. 19. Excursions by water are limited to the River Humber above Hull, and the rivers Ouse and Trent. Excursion steamers wiU not be allowed to ply without a permit from the Admiralty Port Officer, Dock Officer, Immingham and in no case are they to pass to the eastward of an imaginary line joining Victoria Dock entrance, Hull, and the East beacon on Skitter Ness.

Order in Council respecting Separation Allowance of Officers voluntarily accepting reduced rank. P.O. 1881. Certified Copy of a Report of the Committee of the Privy Council, approved by His Royal Highness the Governor General on the 19th August, 1916. The Committee of the Privy Council have had before them a memorandum, dated 31st July, 1916, from the Right Honour- able the Prime Minister, submitting a report from the Parlia- mentary Secretary of the Department of Militia and Defence, which he approves, stating that many of the Battalions which are being sent overseas are broken up shortly after their arrival in England, and th6 privates drafted into units at the Front. The Parliamentary Secretary further states that the great majority of oflBcers, warrant officers and non-commissioned officers are thus left without employment. A number of these have signified their willingness to serve as privates or at least in a rank lower than that which they held on arrival in England. They have asked, however, whether there would be a reduction in Separation Allowance and whether their pension would be affected by their so doing. The Parliamentary Secretary recommends that in such cases no reduction in separation allowance be made and that in the event of their death, pension be granted for the rank which they held on their arrival in England unless during their service at the front they have been promoted to a higher rank. It is, of course, to be understood that the above recommendation does not apply in cases where the rank has been reduced as a punishment. The Committee concur in the above recommendation and submit the same for approval. RODOLPHE BOUDREAU, Clerk of the Privy Council. 2222 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. No. 982.

The Committee of the Privy Council have had before them a memorandum, dated 15th August, 1916, from the Right Honourable the Prime Minister, setting forth the importance of carefully considering conditions with regard to the alleged shortage of labovu- in various Canadian undertakings and 15950—19 2240 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. industries which are of importance in the prosecution of the War and in maintaining the financial and industrial stability of the Dominion. The Prime Minister observes that representations have been made to the Members of the Government from various sources setting forth the great and increasing difficulty in procuring necessary labour. Among the representations sub- mitted to the government are those from the Imperial Munitions Board who allege that the production of munitions is being seriously interfered with oy the departure to the Prairie Provinces of large numbers of men who will be absent for six weeks or more and the loss of whose services for that period wiU, in the opinion of the Imperial Munitions Board, create serious difficulty in maintaining the supply of munitions at the output anticipated. The Prime Minister recommends that the subject be taken into consideration by the Minister of Labour and the Minister of PubUc Works who shall form a sub-committee of the Cabiaet for that ptu-pose, and with whom the Director General of Recruiting and the Directors of Recruiting shall co-operate in the endeavour to use the effective resources of Canada to the greatest advantage in the prosecution of the War. The Committee concur in the foregoing recommendation and submit the same for approval. RODOLPHE BOUDREAU, Clerk of the Privy Council. No. 984. Canada Gazette, 23rd September, 1916.

ENGLAND, EAST COAST. River Humber — Pilotage and Traffic Regulations. Former Notice.— No. 904 of 1916;* hereby cancelled. Mariners are hereby warned that, under the Defence of the Reahn (Consolidation) Regulations, 1914,' the foEowing Regulations have been made by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and are now in force: — 1. All pilotage certificates granted to masters and mates for the whole or any part of the Humber Pilotage District are suspended, and further all vessels (irrespective of draught, size, or nationality, but with the exception of those provided for in paragraph 2) bound to or from any place on the Humber ^^ustbe conducted by hcensed pilots over the whole or any part •Page 2198. ^App. 191. 2280 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. of the waters between Hull and the Outer Pilotage station of the Humber Pilotage District, which, until further notice, will be situated in the neighborhood of the Bull light-vessel. 2. In the case of lighter inter-dock traffic and of small British vessels engaged in local trade above Immingham, pilotage by licensed pilots is not compulsory. 3. During the hours of official night, and during fog, w-ith visibility of less than half-a-mile, no traffic is permitted to move on the Humber below PauU point; also when these conditions prevail no vessel should enter or remain within a radius of five miles from Humber (late Spurn) light-vessel. 4. A vessel should not approach the Humber unless there is sufficient time available to enable such vessel to obtain a pilot and to arrive at her destination, or at a position in which she is permitted to anchor, before the commencement of official night. 5. No vessel should anchor whilst awaiting a pilot. 6. Vessels when leaving the Humber must proceed direct to sea. Should it be necessary to wait for the weather to moderate or clear they must remain inside the river at an author- ised anchoTage. The pilot lobbies will be notified when the existence of fog outside the river is known. 7. A pilot should not board a vessel unless there is sufficient time available to enable such vessel to arrive at her destination, or at a position in which she is permitted to anchor, before the comjnencement of official night. The latest time at which the pilot cutter stationed at the Bull Ught-vessel should board inward-bound vessels is one hour before the commencement of official night. Vessels bound outward should not pass Hawkins Point later than 45 minutes before the commencement of official night. 8. All vessels proceeding into or out of the Humber must be navigated by way of Hawke and Sunk roads passing to the northward of the Bull light-vessel, except those outward bound from Grimsby, which may cross the Middle shoal leaving the Middle light-vessel on the starboard hand, but they must pass at once into the channel north of the Middle after rounding the light-vessel. Note. — ^The five-fathom channel through the Sunk and Hawke roads is very narrow at the western entrance and also War Documents. 2281 at a point north of the Middle light-vessel; deep-draught vessels steaming against the tide when approaching the buoys marking these portions of the channel should endeavour to avoid passing others between them by easing engines to allow ships with the tide under them to get through first. Smaller vessels outward- bound should pass close to the southward of the buoys marking the south side, and those inward-bound close to the northward of the buoys marking the north side, of the narrow portions of the channel, provided always that their draught of water and the state of the tide wiU admit. 9. Sailing vessels of 50 tons register and upwards when enter- ing or leaving the Humber must be towed through Hawke road. Should tugs not be available, inward-bound vessels may anchor north-westward of the No. 2 Lower Middle light- float at a distance of not more than \}/2 miles from it, but they must not bring the before-mentioned lightfloat to bear to the southward of 128° {S. 36° E. Mag.). . 10. Vessels may now only pass into and out of the East end of the channel Southward of the Burcom by a passage of 170 feet wide each side of which is marked by a dolphin sur- mounted by a black triangle supported on a white pole. The dolphins are situated abreast of the West Pier Grimsby Dock Entrance practically in mid-channel. Vessels making use of this passage are cautioned to keep well in the middle of the opening and are subject to the following regulations: — 1. Vessels navigating against the tide must in all cases give way to those navigating with the tide. 2. No vessel must approach the defences in this part of the river nearer than a quarter of a mile except to pass through the before-mentioned passage or to enter Grimsby Docks. 3. No vessel may tow more vessels at one time than she can safely navigate through the passage and under no circum- stances is the tow to comprise more than three craft. 4. Distant signals will be shown from the flagstaff on the West Pier at the Grimsby Dock Entrance as follows:— (a) Two black balls will denote that the passage is open. Q>) Three black balls will denote that the passage is closed. 2282 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. (c) No signal being hoisted denotes that traffic is suspended. When signal (6) three black balls is hoisted, no vessel may approach the passage, and when traffic is suspended no vessels, other tham H.M. ships on special duty, may use the passage. H. Prohibited Anchqrage Areas. i I. Anchorage is prohibited for all vessels between two imaginary lines : — (a) Joining Stone Creek coast guard flagstaff and the eastern extremity of the eastern jetty at Immingham. (6) Joining the riverward beacon of the two centre measured mile beacons on Sunk island and the norther- most of two clumps shown southward of StaUingborough on Admiralty Chart No. 109. The latter line passes through the position of No. 6 Upper Burcom buoy. II. No merchant vessel shall anchor (except when granted special permission) between the before-mentioned prohibited anchorage area No. I. and the line of transit of the eastern measured mile beacons on Sunk island produced to the Lincoln- shire shore or (except as provided for in paragraph 9) to the northward of the line of the Killingholme leading lights or within IJ^ cables of any of the Admiralty mooring buoys. III. Anchorage is prohibited to merchant vessels over the whole of Grimsby roads to the eastward of the line joining New Clee railway station and Patrington Church. IV. No vessel may anchor in the area eastward of Grimsby Docks shown as prohibited on Admiralty Chart No. 109 "Entrance to the River Humber." 12. All vessels entering or leaving Grimsby Docks must pass to the southward of the No. 4 Lower Burcom gas-float except those bound up and down the river inside the Burcom shoal which are exempted from this condition, but no vessel may cross the Burcom shoal between the No. 5 Middle Burcom and No. 4 Lower Burcom buoys. 13. No vessel may approach within a quarter of a mile of the boom defence or within three cables of any of H.M. ships at anchor in the Humber provided the depth of water and circumstances of navigation will admit of keeping this distance. War Documents. 2283 14. All vessels employed in laying moorings, raising wrecks, etc., must be passed at slow speed, propelling engines being eased at least 300 yards before reaching such vessels, and so continued for 150 yards after passing them. While the said mooring or wreck raising craft are at work they will each fly a red flag. 15. No tug is permitted to tow more than three craft at one time through a gateway of the boom defence. Owners of tugs may apply to the Humber Conservancy Board for pilot licences for the masters of their vessels, which wiU enable them to pilot their own vessejs and river craft comprising their tow (in certain parts of the river). The niunber of craft towed will be restricted according to the power of the tug. 16. Himiber Rule No. 18 is to be strictly enforced. No sound signals other than navigation signals authorised by the Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, and by Humber Rules Nos. 14 to 16 (inclusive) at aU times of the day or night, and No. 17 during the day only, are on any account to be used by vessels in any part of the Humber, the Old Harbour at HuU, or within any of the docks at Hull, Immingham or Grimsby. 17. Owners of small vessels plying in the vicinity of the Humber are instructed not to paint their craft light grey, and are hereby directed to have any vessels so coloured repainted. They are warned that small vessels painted grey run a great risk of being fired upon in mistake for submarines. Vessels painted black run the least risk. Regulations Affecting Small Craft in the Vicinity OF Clebthobpbs. 18. Pleasure boats may ply for hire at Cleethorpes only between the eastern and western sewer outfaU beacons, and must keep within a distance of one mile from the shore. No vessel is allowed to shrimp, fish with Unes, trawl, deposit or take up whelks, or anchor southward of the prohibited area shown on Admiralty Chart No. 109 between Grimsby docks entrance and a line drawn across the river three miles below it. Notwith- standing anything in these Orders, rowing boats may pass along the shore at Cleethorpes, but they must keep within 400 yards of the high water mark of spring tides. 2284 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Excursions by Water. 19. Excursions by water are limited to the River Humber above Hull, and the Rivers Ouse and Trent. Excursion steamers will not be allowed to ply without a permit from the Admiralty Port Officer, Dock Offices, Immingham, and in no case are they to pass to the eastward of an imaginary line joining Victoria Dock entrance, Hull, and the east beacon on Skitterness.

Certified Copy of a Report of the Committee of the Privy Council, approved by His Royal Highness the Governor General on the 28th August, 1916. The Committee of the Privy Council have had before them a memorandum, dated 19th August, 1916, from the Right Honourable the Prime Minister, submitting a report from the Parliamentary Secretary of the Department of Militia and Defence, in which he concurs, stating that the rate of Separation Allowance for a motherless child is $20 a month, the same as for a mother and child. This is considered unnecessarily high in view of the fact that the pension authorized for an orphan is only $12 a month. Moreover, in case of pension, the child's allowance is suddenly reduced from $20 to $12 a month. The Parliamentary Secretary recommends that in the case of a motherless child, the rate of Separation Allowance be fixed at $12 a month, but if there is more than one child, the rate allowed be the same as if the mother were living.

Note (2). — ^Where a firm named in the List has more than one branch in the same country, aU branches in that country are held to be included in the List even in cases where no address, or of several addresses one only is specifically mentioned. Note (3). — The List for each country is sent by telegraph to His Majesty's Representative in that country, who will War Documents . 2349 notify British Consular Officers, to whom persons abroad should apply for information as to names on the List; but firms in the United Kingdom with branches abroad are advised to furnish such branches with copies of the Statutory List. The Lists for all countries in Central and South America are also telegraphed to His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington. The Foreign Trade Department is prepared on application to inquire of His Majesty's Representatives abroad for the names of substitutes for any firm on the Statutory List. When the apphcant wishes this done by telegraph he must undertake to pay the cost of the telegraphic correspondence. A consider- able amount of information is, however, already available at the Foreign Trade Department, and it is hoped that it may be possible in many cases to suggest the names of satisfactory substitutes in response to inquiries, without the necessity of referring the matter abroad. It would greatly facilitate the work of this Department if applicants in making inquiries would specify the particular trade, or trades, for which substi- tutes are required. No. 1025.

DEPARTMENT OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS. Passport requirements for persons other than British subjects undertaking missionary or educational work in India. The India Office communicates the following: — Owing to circumstances arising out of the war, persons other than British subjects who are desirous of proceeding to India to undertake missionary or educational work are now required 15950— 29f 2402 DepartmerU of the Secretary of State, Canada. to obtain permission from the Indian authorities to enable them to enter on such work. To avoid any possible misunderstanding, it may be explained tliat the intention of the new arrangements is in no way to discourage the important and self-sacrificing work that is being done in India by many American missions, and by missions of neutral countries of Europe. The Indian authorities will con- tinue to welcome missionaries of societies which have deserved well of India in the past and bear an honourable record of good faith towards the British Indian Government. But experience has shown that some safeguards are necessary to ensure that individuals desiring to work as missionaries in India are not in active sympathy with the enemies of the British Empire, or lacking in good-will towards the Government of the country in which they propose to teach. Applications for the necessary permission should be made on forms which may be obtained from His Majesty's Representa- tive in the country in which the applicant resides, or from the Secretary, Public Department, India Office, Whitehall, London, S.W.

Per Acts 29 Vict. c. 25; 52 Vict. c. 6; and 6 & 7. Geo. V. c. 24. Bearing Interest from the date of purchase at £6 per cent, per annum, payable HaK- Yearly, on the 16th February and the 16th August. Repayable at Par on the 16th February, 1920. Price of Issue fixed by H.M. Treasiu-y at £100 per Cent. The Governor and Company of the Bank of England are authorized by the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treas- ury to receive on the 2nd October, 1916, and thereafter until further notice, applications for Exchequer Bonds as above. The Principal and Interest of the Bonds are chargeable on the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom. The Bonds will be issued in denominations of £100, £200, £500, £1,000 and £5,000, and will bear interest at £6 per cent. per annum, payable haK-yearly by Coupon, the first Coupon on each Bond representing interest from the date upon which payment for the Bond is made until the next succeeding day on which a half-yearly payment of interest is due. In the event of future loans (other than issues made abroad or issues of Exchequer Bonds, Treasury Bills, or similar short- dated securities) being raised by His Majesty's Government for the purpose of carrying on the War, Bonds of this issue, if accompanied by all undue Coupons, wiU be accepted as the equivalent of cash to the amount of their face value for the purpose of subscription to any such loan. Interest accrued to the date of the surrender of a Bond wiU be paid in cash. Bonds of this issue, and the Interest payable from time to time in respect thereof, will be exempt from aU British taxation, present or future, if it is shown in the manner directed by the 2438 Depattment of the Secretary of State, Canada. Treasury that they are in the beneficial ownership of a person who is neither domiciled nor ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Further, the interest payable from time to time in respect of Bonds of this issue will be exempt from British Income Tax, present or future, if it is shown in the manner directed by the Treasury that the Bonds are in the beneficial ownership of a person who is not ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, without regard to the question of domicile. Where a Bond belongs to a holder entitled to exemption under these provisions the relative Coupons wiU be paid without deduction for Income Tax or other taxes, if accompanied by a declaration of ownership in such form as may be required by the Treasury. The Commissioners of Inland Revenue wiU accept Bonds of this issue at their nominal value, and any unpaid interest accrued thereon, in satisfaction of amounts due on account of death duty, pursuant to Section 61 of the Act 6 & 7 Geo. V., c. 24, and Regulations made or to be made thereunder. Applications for Bonds, which must in every case be accom- panied by payment of the fuU amount payable in respect of the Bonds applied for, may be lodged by hand at the Bank of England, Threadneedle Street, E.C., on any business day between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (Saturdays between 10 a.m. and 12 noon) ; or they may be forwarded to the Bank through the post. Where payment is made otherwise than in cash or Banker's draft on the Bank of England, the amount of the first interest payment in respect of the relative Bonds will be calculated as from the date on which the proceeds of the pay- ment are actually received by the Bank. In aU cases in which the Bank are asked to forward Bonds by post, the Bonds wiU be despatched by Registered Post at the risk of the applicant, who must himseH effect any insurance that may be desired. Bonds of this issue may be lodged for registration in the B9oks of the Bank of England, or of the Bank of Ireland, on payment of a fee of one shilling per Bond. Applicants who intend to register their holdings forthwith should notify the fact on the Form of Application, in which case they wiU not be required to take delivery of the actual Bonds, and the fee of one shilling will not be charged.

Holdings of Registered Bonds, which will be transferable in any sums which are multiples of £5, may be re-converted at any time in whole or in part (in multiples of £100) into Bonds to Bearer with Coupons attached, such re-conversions being effected by means of a tranfer executed under the provis- ions ordinarily applying to the tranfer of Government Stocks. Dividends on registered Bonds of this issue will be paid without deduction of Income Tax, but the income derived from such dividends will be assessable to Income Tax in the hands of the recipients at the rates of tax appropriate to their respect- ive incomes.

Referring to your despatch of 6th August No. 750.* My Ministers submit that there can be no reasonable objection from standpoint of Canadian Government to proposals referred to as far as they affect prizes condemned during present war but they would suggest that any legislation which His Majesty's Govermnent may be advised to be necessary for carrying out of these proposals should be of temporary natiu-e relating to present period of hostiUties. They apprehend that when war is over constitution of prize courts, Naval forces of overseas Dominions, distribution of prize moneys and determination of local claims may be proper subject for enquiry and consideration in con- nection with general relations of Dominions to Empire and that it would be unadvisable at present to impose any legislative view which might affect situation for future. Regarding request in paragraph 17 of your despatch Ministers represent that no ships or cargoes have been condemned in Canada since outbreak of war and that only ship and cargo ordered to be detained during period up to present time is Bellas and her cargo, which were ordered to be detained on 15th December last until further order of Couft. In this case only claim made with regard to ship was that of Dr. Orlando De Mello Do Rego of Lisbon, Portugal, whose claim was dismissed with costs, and no appearance was entered by anyone with respect to cargo.

Their Lordships, without disputing the proposition that fresh legislation may be necessary after the War point out that if it should prove to be desirable there is nothing in the form of the present BUI to prevent the whole matter being re-considered. 3. In the meantime in their opinion there is good reason for passing legislation which settles matters on a basis deemed to be more or less satisfactory at the present time, and which, in default of any- thuig better being devised will be available for use if required in any emergency that may arise in the future. 4. The Admiralty would prefer therefore that the enactment of the proposed Bill should not be in terms of a temporary character though this will not of course prevent the whole matter being recon- sidered and the passing of an amending Act, after the war, should such a course prove desirable.

A form of return was prepared and issued some years ago for this purpose but several new Prize Courts have since been established which have not been provided with copies of the form and the opportunity has been taken to revise the Return with a view to obtaining as clear a statement as possible of the results of the pro- ceedings in the several Courts. 3. The return is, in accordance with the Act, to be rendered by the Registrars of the Courts half yearly and the Admiralty ask that the first half-yearly return sent in after the receipt of the new form may include all the cases which have been dealt with in each Prize Court up to date. It is desired that separate returns may be rendered for each Prize Coxirt and that Nil returns may be furnished in cases where no proceedings have been taken during the period imder review. 4. I shall be glad therefore if you will invite your Ministers to be good enough to distribute the accompanying forms to the Officers concerned with a request that the Returns may be prepared and forwarded to me in duplicate for transmission to the Adnairalty.

War Documents. 545 In the reports of judgments of the German Prize Court which have reached His Majesty's Government it is observed that in many- cases claims put forward by British subjects have been rejected by the Court on the ground that the claimants had failed to submit a power of attorney, as prescribed by section 27, paragraph 2, of the German Prize Court Regulations. A translation of the section above referred to is accordingly appended for the information of persons who may have occasion to put forward claims before that Court: — Section 27 of German Prize Court Regulations. " In the statement of claim shall be indicated the facts and proofs by which the claim is supported; if possible, documents shall be attached to the statement in the original. " The said statement of claim shall be signed by an advocate provided with a written power of attorney and admitted to practice at a German Court, who has obtained the qualification to sit as a Judge. . " If the claimant is not residing at the place of the ofl&cial seat of the Prize Court, he shall indicate a person there domiciled upon whom service may be effected on his behalf." Foreign Office, March 1, 1916. No. 59. Despatch respecting proposals for distribution of prize. Canada. No. 387. ' Downing Street, 15th April, 1916. Sir, — ^With reference to Your Royal Highness's telegram of the 2nd of December last,* relative to the proposal that all equitable claims made by British, allied, or neutral third parties against ships or cargoes detained or condemned by Prize Courts in the self-governing Dominions should be dealt with by the Prize Claims Committee in London, I have the honour to submit a statement of the principles on which the Committee are acting and propose to act in dealing with appUcations submitted to them. 2. Such applications fall, speaking generally, imder five heads : — (i) Claims for wages. (ii) Claims in respect of harbour and port dues, (iii) Claims in respect of bunker coal, provisions, and other necessaries supplied, (iv) Claims to brokerage, (v) Other claims upon cargoes and hulls. It will be convenient to deal with these five classes of claims seriatim. •App. 540. 546 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Wages. 3. Where wages have been advanced by neutral, allied or British third parties for the purposes of the voyage immediately preceding the seizure or detention of an enemy vessel and have not been allowed by the Prize Court the Committee would usually, after careful exam- ination both as to amount, and as to the bona fide character of the claim, pass the claims. Direct claims by seamen for wages have not so far come before the Committee, but woiild be recognized after investigation. For any further wages if the crew remained on board after the seizure or detention the applicants would be referred to the Marshal (Prize Com-t). Harbour and Port Dues. 4. Dues for which liability was incurred prior to the seizure or detention would be passed on production of proper vouchers or evidence. Those falling due after seizure or detention would be provided for by the Marshal. These observations apply also to charges for towage. Bunker Coal, Provisions, and other Necessaries. 5. The experience of the Committee is that claims of this class require very careful examination and the best possible evidence that the claims are well founded, that the charges are reasonable, and also when the claims are of old standing, some satisfactory explanation why they have not been recovered from the enemy owner. A certain proportion of these claims will be disallowed, and where passed the amount proposed to be allowed will sometimes be much less than the amount claimed. Brokerage. 6. The Committee have had many such claims before them, and have decided that brokerage no part of which is payable to an enemy may be allowed on the net amoimt of freight actually received by the Marshal. Claims upon Cargoes and Hulls. 7. The applications under these heads have so far been: — (a) on shares in vessels; (6) on mortgages; (c) in respect of advances on cargoes, (o) On shares in Vessels. — The Committee have formed the opinion that the claims of shareholders are inadmissible. Share- holders are in fact part owners of the property and their claims cannot properly be described as those of third parties. They are par- ticipants in a venture which has led to the loss of their property and War Documents. 547 have not, it is thought, any equitable claim because of the occurrence of this loss, which, as owners of a foreign ship, was one of the risks of their investment. Further it would be difficult, if not impossible to estimate the value of shares in particular vessels, even if the principle of com- pensation could be admitted. (b) Mortgages. — The question whether the claims of ship mort- gagees are to be recognized has been considered by the Com- mittee and they have determined that in cases in which the ship has been condemned and the mortgagee has thus been deprived of his security they would consider the mortgagee's claim, but that in cases in which the ship has only been detained and the mortgagee has not been deprived of his security but only prevented from realizing it they would not recommend payments to mortgagees in respect of the principal sum advanced though they might in cases of hardship make advances of interest. (c) Advances on Cargoes. — These claims are usually by pledgees of cargoes who hold the bills of lading. These are disallowed in the Prize Court on the ground that the legal property in the cargoes has passed to the enemy consignees, though the pledgee had the docu- ments of title and thus had the control of the property at the time of seizure. Apphcations in these cases are now being received and con- sidered. 8. The above are the principles, on which, as at present advised, the Committee think claims should be dealt with ultimately. At present, however, no final decision has been reached by the Govern- ment as to the funds out of which any awards recommended by the Conmiittee are to be met. 9. The Committee are of opinion as at present advised, that claims in respect of a particular ship or particular cargo should not be allowed in excess of the net value realized by condemned ships or cargoes or in excess of 75 per cent of the value of the ship or cargo in the case of detained ships or cargoes. Thus, if in any particular case the claims exceeded this amount, each successful applicant would only receive a proportion of the amount of his claims. 10. No final adjudication will therefore be made by the Com- mittee until the expiration of the period allowed for putting in claims and until after all claims have been considered. It will be seen from the advertisements referred to in the last paragraph of this despatch that it is proposed to fix the final date for receiving claims at the 17th of August next so far as concerns claims in respect of the ships named in the first notice and the cargoes covered by the first part of the second paragraph of the second notice. 11. The Committee have further had it in mind that, whatever claims are recognized, this should be done in such a way that the liability of enemy persons to the claimants should be preserved and enforced for the benefit of the Crown, whenever, and so far as, possible. To this end the case of claims against condemned ships and cargoes and the case of claims against detained ships and cargoes call for somewhat different treatment. In both cases the object is to preserve the personal liabihty of the enemy person to the claimant. In the 548 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. case of detained ships the further object is to preserve the right in rem of the claimant. The value of the rights so preserved, except such as are in rem may ultimately prove to be small, but the Conunittee consider it to be of importance that nothing they recommend should have the effect during war of discharging the UabiHty of the enemy debtor to the British, alUed or neutral creditor. With these objects in view, the Committee propose to adopt the following procedure. (a) With regard to condemned ships and cargoes, the Committee propose to require grantees to enter into an agreement in one of the forms enclosed and marked (A) and (Ai). (6) With regard to detained ships and cargoes (in which cases the property detained or its equivalent will at the conclusion of the war still bfe in this hands of the State and on release within the jurisdiction of British Courts) it is proposed to treat any siixns paid as in the nature of loans, and to require the parties to which khy advance is made to enter into an agreement in one of the forms enclosed and marked (B) and(Bi). 12. It is not possible to foresee what may be done at the end of the war with regard to detained ships, but the Committee do not think it would be right, in making grants or advances, to fail to reserve so far as possible any rights that may be exercisable against enemy debtors at that time. 13. I have now informed the Committee that your Government consents to the proposal referred to in paragraph 1 above and I enclose copies of two advertisements which it is proposed to issue in the "London Gazette" of the 18th inst. with regard to claims against ships or cargoes condemned or ordered to be detained by Prize Courts in the seK-goveming Dominions. Your Ministers will no doubt think it desirable that similar advertisements should be issued locally and I therefore informed you in my telegram of 13th April, of the form of the drafts. 14. I have addressed an identical despatch to the other self- governing Dominions. I have the honour to be. Sir, Your Royal Highness's most obedient humble servant, A. BONAR LAW.

Ces regies, en eflet, sans conf^rer toujours aux neutres de plus larges garanties, ne don- nent pas aux bellig^rants les moy- ens les plus efficaces pour exercer les droits qui leur sont reconnus. A mesure que les ^venements se d^roulaient, les bellig^rants du groupe germanique redoublaient d'habileti pour desserrer I'^treinte qui les enserre et rouvrir la voie des ravitaillements; leurs artifices compromettaient le commerce in- Offensif des neutres et le rendaient suspect d'intentions hostiles. D'autre part, les progrds de tout genre accomplis dans I'art militaire et naval, la creation d'engins nou- veaux, la centralisation par les beUig^rants germaniques de la totality de leujrs ressources aux fins militaires cr^aient des conditions tr^s diff^rentes de celles des guerres maritimes du pass6. L'application des rigles de la Declaration de Londres ne devait pas r^sister k I'^preuve de faits 6voluant sans cesse dans un sens impr^vu. Les Gouvernements allies ont dA reconnaltre cette situation et apporter de temps k autre aux regies de la Declaration les tem- peraments que comportait cette Evolution. Ces modifications successives ont pu amener k de fausses inter- pretations les intentions des Allies; aussi leur a-t-il paru n^cessaire de s'en tenir uniquement a l'applica- tion des rSgles anciennement re- connues du droit international. Les Allies d^clarent solennelle- ment et sans reticence qu'ils con- tinueront k observer ces principes the principles of law, but even the forms under which they were to be appUed, had not produced a wholly satisfactory result. As a matter of fact, these rules, while not in all respects improving the safeguards afforded to neutrals, do not provide belligerents with the most effective means of exer- cising their admitted rights. As events progressed, the Ger- manic Powers put forth all their ingenuity to relax the pressure tightening about them and to reopen a channel for supplies; their devices compromised inno- cent neutral commerce and in- volved it in suspicions of enemy agency. Moreover, the manifold developments of naval and mili- tary science, the invention of new engines of war, the concentration by the Germanic Powers of the whole body of their resources on military ends, produced condi- tions altogether different from those prevailing in previous naval wars. The rules laid down in the Declaration of London could not stand the strain imposed by the test of rapidly changing condi- tions and tendencies which could not have been foreseen. The AUied Governments were forced to recognise the situation thus crteated, and to adapt the rules of the Declaration from time to time to meet these changing conditions. These successive modifications may perhaps have exposed the purpose of the Allies to miscon- struction; they have therefore come to the conclusion that they must confine themselves simply to applying the historic and admitted rules of the law of nations. The Allies solemnly and unre- servedly declare that the action of their warships, no less than 560 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. aussi bien dans raction^de leurs croisiSres que dans les jugements de leurs Cours de Prises; que, fiddles a la parole donn^e, ils se conformeront notanunent aux dis- positions des conventions Inter- nationales sur le droit de la guerre; que, respectueux des lois de I'huraanit^, ils repoussent loia d'eux l'id6e de menacer I'existence des non-combattants; qu'ils ne porteront k la propri6t6 des neutres aucune atteinte injustifi^e; et que, si un donunage 6tait caus6 par leur action navale k des n6gociants de bonne foi, ils seront toujours disposes k examiner leiu-s reclama- tions et k accorder les reparations legitimes. the judgments of their Prize Courts, will continue to conform to these principles; that they will faithfuUy fulfil their engage- ments and in particular will observe the terms of all inter- national conventions regarding the laws of war; that, mindful of the dictates of humanity, they repudiate utterly all thought of threatening the lives of non- combatants; that they will not without cause interfere with neu- tral property; and that if they should, by the action of their fleets, cause damage to the interests of any merchant acting in good faith, they will always be ready to consider his claims and to grant him such redress as may be due. Enclosure 2 in No. 1. Order in Council. Whereas by an Order in Council dated the 20th day of August, 1914, His Majesty was pleased to declare that during the present hostilities the provisions of the Declaration of London, should, subject to certain additions and modifications therein specified, be adopted and put in force by His Majesty's Govenunent; And whereas the said Declaration was adopted as aforementioned in common with His Majesty's Allies; And whereas it has been necessary for His Majesty and for his AUies from time to time to issue further enactments modifying the application of the articles of the said Declaration; And whereas Orders in Council for this purpose have been issued by His Majesty on the 29th day of October, 1914, the 20th day of October, 1915, and the 30th day of March, 1916; And whereas the issue of these successive Orders in Council may have given rise to some doubt as to the intention of His Majesty, as also to that of his Allies, to act in strict accordance with the law of nations, and it is therefore expedient to withdraw the said Orders so far as they are now in force: Now, therefore. His Majesty by and with the advice of his Privy Council is pleased to order, and it is hereby ordered, that the Declara- tion of London Order in CouncU No. 2, 1914, and all Orders subsequent thereto amending the said Order are hereby withdrawn; And His Majesty is pleased further to declare by and with the advice of his Privy Council and it is hereby declared that it is and War Documents. 561 always has been his intention as it is and has been that of his Allies, to exercise their belligerent rights at sea in strict accordance with the law of nations; And whereas on account of the changed conditions of conunerce and the diversity of practice doubts might arise in certain matters as to the rules which His Majesty and his Alhes regard as being in conformity with the law of nations, and it is expedient to deal with such matter specifically: — It is hereby ordered that the following provisions shall be observed: — (a) The hostile destination required for the condemnation of contraband articles shall be presumed "to exist, imtil the contrary is shown, if the goods are consigned to or for an enemy authority, or an agent of the enemy State, or to or for a person in territory belonging to or occupied by the enemy, or to or for a person who, during the present hostil- ities, has forwarded contraband goods to an enemy authority, or an agent of the enemy State, or to or for a person in territory belonging to or occlipied by the enemy, or if the goods are consigned "to order," or if the ship's papers do not show who is the real consignee of the goods. (6) The principle of continuous voyage or ultimate destination shall be appUcable both in cases of contraband and of blockade. (c) A neutral vessel carrying contraband with papers indicating a neutral destination, which, notwithstanding the destination shown on the papers, proceeds to an enemy port, shall be hable to capture and condemnation if she is encountered before the end of her next voyage. (d) A vessel carrying contraband shall be hable to captiu-e and condemnation if the contraband, reckoned either by value, weight, volume^ or freight forms more than half the cargo. And it is hereby further ordered as follows : — (i) Nothing herein shall be deemed to affect the Order in Council of the 11th March, 1915, for restricting further the commerce of the enemy or any of His Majesty's Proclamations declaring articles to be contraband of war during the present hostiUties. (ii) Nothing herein shall affect the vaUdity of anything done under the Orders in Council hereby withdrawn, (iii) Any cause or pg-ocfeeding commenced in any Prize Court before the making of this Order may, if the Court thinks just, be heard and decided under the provisions of the Orders hereby withdrawn so far as they were in force at the date when such cause or proceeding was commenced, or would have been applicable in such cause or proceeding if this Order had not been made. This Order may be cited as "The Maritune Rights Order in Coun- cil, 1916." And the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury, the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and each of His Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, the President of the Probate, Divorce, 562 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. and Admiralty Division of the High Court of Justice, all other Judges of His Majesty's Prize Courts, and all Governors, Officers, and Authorities whom, it may concern, are to give the necessary directions herein as to them may respectively appertain.

Sir, Pursuant to instructions from my Government, I have the honour to transmit to you the enclosed communication, which I have received by telegraph from the Secretary of State. I am instructed at the same time to repeat to His Majesty's Government the earnest assurance that this statement of the views of the Government of the United States is made in the most friendly sprit, and in accordance with the uniform candour by which the relations of the two Governments have in the past been characterised, and to which in large measure are due the peace and amity existing without interruption for a century between the two nations. I have, &c. WALTER HINES PAGE. Enclosure in No. 1. Communication received by the United States Embassy in London. The Government of the United States has given careful considera- tion to the subjects treated in the British notes of the 13th and 15th March,* and to the British Order in Coimcil of the latter date.t These communications contained matters of grave importance to neutral nations. They appear to menace their rights of trade and intercourse, ijiot only with belligerents, but also with one another. They call for frank comment in order that misunderstanding may be avoided. The Govermnent of the United States deems it its duty, therefore, speaking in the sincerest spirit of friendship, to make its own vie w and position with regard to them unmistakable and clear. •See "Miscellaneous, No. 6 (1915)," Nos. 12 and'13. frhe Order in Council actually bears date of March U, 1915.— p. 280. 577 578 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. The Order in Council of the 15th March would constitute, were its provisions to be actually carried into effect as they stand, a practical assertion of unlimited belligerent rights over neutral com- merce within the whole European area and an almost \mqualified denial of the sovereign rights of the nations now at peace. This Government takes it for granted that there can be no question what those rights are. A nation's sovereignty over its own ships and citizens under its own flag on the high seas in time of peace is, of course, unlimited. And that sovereignty suffers no diminution in time of war, except in so far as the practice and consent of civilised nations has limited it by the recognition of certain now clearly determined rights which it is conceded may be exercised by nations which are at war. A belligerent nation has been conceded the right of visit and search, and the right of capture and condemnation if upon examina- tion a neutral vessel is found to be engaged in unneutral service, or to be carrying contraband of war intended for the enemy's Govern- ment or armed forces. It has been conceded the right to estabUsh and roaintain a blockade of an enemy's ports and coasts, and to capttire and condemn any vessel taken in trying to break the blockade. It is even conceded the right to detain and take to its own ports for judicial examination all vessels which it suspects for substantial reasons to be engaged in unneutral or contraband service, and to condemn them if the suspicion is sustained. But such rights, long clearly defijfted both in doctrine and practice, have hitherto been held to be the only permissible exceptions to the principle of equality of sovereignty on the high seas as between belligerents and nations not engaged in war. It is confidently assumed that His Majesty's Government will not deny at once that it is a rule sanctioned by general practice that, even though a blockade should exist, and the doctrine of contraband as to unblockaded territory be rigidly enforced, tonocent shipments may be freely transported to and from the United States through neutral countries to beUigerents' territory without being subject to the penalties of contraband traffic or breach of blockade much less to detention, requisition, or confiscation. Moreover, the rules of the Declaration of Paris of 1856, among them that free ships make free goods, will hardly at this day be disputed by the signatories of that solemn agreement. His Majesty's Government, like the Government of the United States, have often and explicitly held that these rights represent the best usage of warfare in the deaUngs of belligerents with neutrals at sea. In this connection I desire to direct attention to the opinion of the Chief Justice of the United States in the case of the "Peterhoff," which arose out of the Civil War, and to the fact that that opinion was unanimously s;ustained in the award of the Arbritration Commis- sion of 1871, to wnich the case was presented at the request of Great Britain. From that time to the Declaration of London of 1909, adopted with modifications by the Order in Council of the 23rd October last, these rights have not been seriously questioned by the British Govermnent. No less claim on the part of Great Britain of any justification for interfering with these clear rights of the War Documents. 579 United States and its citizens as neutrals could be admitted. To admit it would be to assume an attitude of unneutrality towards the present eneinies of Great Britain which would be obviously- inconsistent with the solemn obligations of this Government in the present circumstances; and for Great Britain to make such a claim would be for her to abandon and set at nought the principles for which she has consistently and earnestly contended in other times aad circumstances. The note of His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, which accompanies the Order in Council, and which bears the same date, notifies the Government of the United States of the establishment of a blockade which is, if defined by the terms of the Order in Council, to include all the coasts and ports of Germany, and every port of possible access to enemy territory. But the novel and quite unprecedented features of that blockade, if we are to assume it to be properly so defined, is that it embraces many neutral ports and coasts, bars access to them ,and subjects all neutral ships seeking to approach them to the same suspicion that would attach to them were they bound for the port of the enemies of Great Britain, and to unusual risks and penalties. ' It is manifest that such limitations, risks, and liabilities placed upon the ships of a neutral Power on the high seas, beyond the right of visit and search and the right to prevent the shipment of contra- band already referred to, are a distinct invasion of the sovereign rights of the nations whose ships, trade, or commerce is interfered with. The Government of the United States is, of course, not obUvious to the great changes which have occurred in the conditions and means of naval warfare since the rules hitherto governing legal blockade were formulated. It might be ready to admit that the form of "close" blockade with its cordon of ships in the immediate offing of the blockaded ports is no longer practicable in the face of an enemy possessing the means and opportunity to make an effective defence by the use of submarines, mines, and aircraft; but it can hardly be maintained that, whatever form of effective blockade may be made use of, it is impossible to conform at least to the spirit and principles of the essence of the rules of war. If the necessities of the case should seem to render it imperative that the cordon of blockading vessels be extended across the approaches to any neighbouring neutral port or country, it would seem clear that it would still be easily practicable to comply with the well-recognised and reasonable prohibi- tion of international law against the blockading of neutral ports by according free admission and exit to all lawful traflBic with neutral ports thi'ough the blockading cordon. This traffic would, of course, include all outward-bound traffic from the neutral country and all inward-bound traffic to the neutral country except contraband in transit to the enemy. Such procedure need not conflict in any respect with the rights of the belligerent maintaining the blockade, smce the right would remain with the blockading vessels to visit and search all ships either on entering or leaving the neutral territory which they were in fact, but not of right, investing. 580 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. The Government of the United States notes that in the Order in Council His Majesty's Government give as their reason for entering upon a course of action which they are aware is without precedent in modern warfare, the necessity they conceive themselves to h^ve been placed under to retaliate upon their enemies for measures of a similar nature which the latter have announced it their intention to adopt, and which they have to some extent adopted; but the Government of the United States, recalling the principles upon which His Majesty's Government have hitherto been scrupulous to act, interprets this as merely a reason for certain extraordinary activities on the part of His Majesty's naval forces and not as an excuse for or prelude to any unlawful action. If the course pursued by the present enemies of Great Britain should prove to be in fact trained by illegality and disregard of the principles of war sanctioned by enUghtened nations^ it cannot be supposed, and this Government does not for a moment suppose, that His Majesty's Government would wish the same taint to attach to their own actions, or would cite such illegal acts as ia any sense or degree a justification for similar practices on their part in so far as if they can affect neutral rights. It is thus that the Government of the United States interprets the language of the note of His Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs which acbompanies the copy of the Order in Council which was handed to the Ambassador of the United States near the Government in London and by him transmitted to Washington. This Government notes with gratification that "wide discretion is afforded to the Prize Court in dealing with the trade of neutrals in such manner as may in the circumstances be deemed just, and that full provision is made to facilitate claims made by persons interested in any goods placed in the custody of the Mardial of the Prize Court under the Order"; that "the effect of the Order in Council is to confer certain powers upon the executive officers of His Majesty's Government"; and that "the extent to which these powers will be actually exercised, and the degree of severity with which the measures of blockade authorised will be put into operation, are matters which will depend on the administrative orders issued by the Government and the decisions of the authorities especially charged with the duty of dealing with individual ships and cargoes according to the merits of each case." This Government further notes with equal satisfaction the declaration of the British Government that "the instructions to be issued by His Majesty's Government to the fleet and to the customs officials and executive committees concerned will impress upon them the duty of acting with the utmost despatch consistent with the object in view, and of showing in every case such consideration for neutrals as may be compatible with that object, which is, succiactly stated, to establish a blockade to prevent vessels from carrying goods for or coming from Germany." In view 6f these assurances formally given to this Government, it is confidently expected that the extensive powers conferred by the Order in Coimcil on the executive officers of the Crown will be restricted by ' ' orders issued by the Govermnent ' ' directing the exercise of their discretionary powers in such a manner as to modify in, War Documents. 581 practical application those provisions of the Order in Council which, if strictly enforced would violate neutral rights and interrupt legiti- mate trade. Relying on the faithful performances of these voluntary assurances by His Majesty's Government, the United States takes it for granted that the approach of American merchantmen to neutral ports situated upon the long line of coast affected by the Order in Council will not be interfered with when it is known that they do not carry goods which are contraband of war or goods destined to or preceding from ports within the belligerent territory affected. The Government of the United States assumes with the greatest confidence that His Majesty's Government will thus adjust their practice to the recognized rules of international law, because it is manifest that the British Government have adopted an extraordinary method of "stopping cargoes dtestined for or coming from the enemies' territory," which, owing to the existence of unusual conditions in modern warfare at sea, it will be difficult to restrict to the limits which have been heretofore required by the law of nations. Though the area of operations is confined to "European waters, including the Mediterranean," so great an area of the high seas is covered, and the cordon of ships is so distant from the territory affected, that neutral vessels must necessarily pass through the blockading force in order to reach important neutral ports which Great Britain, as a belligerent, has not the legal right to blockade, and which therefore it is presumed she has no intention of claiming to blockade. The Scandinavian and Danish ports, for example, are opened to American trade, they are also free, so far as the actual enforcement of the Order in Council is concerned, to carry oh trade with German Baltic ports, although it is an essential element of blockade that it bear with equal severity upon all neutrals. This Government, therefore, infers that the commanders of His Majesty's ships of war engaged in maintaining the so-called blockade will be instructed to avoid an enforcement of the proposed measures of non-intercourse, in such a way as to impose restrictions upon neutral trade more burdensome than those which have been regarded as inevitable when the ports of a belligerent are actually blockaded by the ships of its enemy. The possibilities of serious interruption of American trade under the Order in Council are so many, the methods proposed are unusual, and seem liable to constitute so great an impediment and embarrass- ment to neutral commerce, that the Government of the United States, if the Order in Council is strictly enforced, apprehends many iaterferences with its legitimate trade, which will impose upon His Majesty's Government heavy responsibilities for acts of the British authorities clearly subversive of the rights of neutral nations on the high seas. It is therefore expected that His Majesty's Government, having considered these possibilities, will take steps necessary to avoid them, and in the event that they unhappily occur, will be prepared to make full reparation for every act which, under the rules of international law, constitutes a violation of neutral rights. 582 Department of the Secretary of State; Canada. As stated in its conununication of the 22nd October, 1914,* "this Government will insist that the rights and duties of the United States and its citizens in the present war be defined by the existing rules of international law, and the treaties of the United States, irrespective of the provisions of the Declaration of London, and that this Government reserves to itself the right to enter a protest or demand in each case in which those rights and duties so defined are violated, or their free exercise interfered with by the authorities of the British Government."

His Majesty's Government have on various occasions, and notably in the communication which was addressed to the United States Ambassador on the 15th March last,t given assurances to the United States Govermnent that they would make it their first aim to minimise the inconvenience which must inevitably be caused *Thls was a verbal communication, based on the following instructions from the State De- partment, since published officially in America: — "The Acting Secretary of Slate to Ambassador W. H. Page. (Telegram.) "Department oj State, Washington, October «», 1914. 4 p.m. "Inasmuch as the British Government considerthat the conditions of the present European conflict make it impossible for them to accept without modification the Declaration of London, you are requested to inform His Majesty's Government that in the circumstances the Government of the United States feels obliged to withdraw its suggestion that the Declaration of London be adopted as a temporary code of naval warfare to be observed by belligerents and neutrals during the present war; that therefore this Government will insist that the rights and duties of the United States and its citizens in the present war be defined by the existing rules of international law and the treaties of the United States, irrespective of the provisions of the Declaration of London;^ and that this Government reserves to itself the right to enter a protest or demand in each case in which those rights and duties so defined are violated, or their free exercise interfered with by the authorities of His Britannic Majesty's Government. — Lansing." tSee "Miscellaneous, No. 6, (lfll5)," No. 13. War Documents. 583 to neutral commerce from the existence of a state of war at sea, and in particular from the measures taken by the Allied Goverimients for the restriction of the enemies' oversea trade. In view of the representation and complaints made to this Department by the Ambassador from time to time as to the peculiar hardships alleged to have been wrongly inflicted on American trade and shipping by the operation of those measures, His Majesty's Government deske to offer the following observations respecting the manner in which they have consistently endeavoured to give practical effect to those assuraiices. 2. It will be recalled that, at the moment when His Majesty's Government announced their measures against enemy commerce, they declared their intention to refraia altogether from the exercise of the right to confiscate ships or cargoes which belligerents had always previously claimed in respect of breaches of blockade; that under article 5 (i) of the enactment of the 11th March, it was expressly provided that any person claiming to be interested in goods placed in the Prize Court in pursuance of the provision of that enactment, might forthwith issue a writ against the proper officer of the Crown, the object being to confer upon claimants the right to institute proceedings without waiting for the writ of the Procurator-General, and thus to remove all possible cause of legitimate grievance on account of delay; and that, finally, a specific assurance was given to the United States Government that the instructions to be issued by His Majesty's Government to the fleet and to the Customs officials and executive ofiicials concerned, would impress upon them the duty of acting with the utmost despatch consistent with the object in view, and of showing in every case such consideration for neutrals as might be compatible with that object, namely, to prevent vessels carrymg goods for, or coming from the enemy's territory. 3. The above measures were all designed to alleviate the burdens imposed upon neutral sea-borne commerce in general; various special concessions, over and above those enumerated, have moreover been made in favour of United States citizens. 4. Thus His Majesty's Government have acted, as regards shipments of American cotton, in accordance with the provisions of an arrangement arrived at in direct collaboration with representa- tives of the American cotton interests. In accepting this scheme, the principal representative of those interests described it as conceding all that American interests could properly ask. The provisions of the arrangement were, as the United States Ambassador is aware, as follows: — (1.) All cotton for which contracts of sale and freight engage- ments have already been made before the 2nd March is to be allowed free (or bought at contract price if stopped), provided the ship sails not later than the 31st March. (2.) Similar treatment is to be accorded to all cotton insured before the 2nd March, provided it is put on board not later than the 16th March. (3.) All shipments of cotton claiming the above protection are to be declared before sailing, and documents produced to, and certificates obtained from, consular officers or other authority fixed by the Government. 584 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. 5. Considerable shipments of cotton have aheady been dealt with under this arrangement, and in certain cases the dates specified have been extended in favour of American shippers. The Board of trade have already paid a sum exceeding 450,000Z to various American claimants, and aU claims are being and will continue to be paid as rapidly as they are presented, and the proofs of title can be ch ecked. If in some cases progress has been delayed, this has been due to the fact — ^which has seriously embarrassed His Majesty's Government — that a number of obnsignments, for which the American shippers had specifically invoked the protection of the arrangement, are now claimed by Swedish and Dutch firms, whose title of ownership, notwithstanding the action of the American shippers, appears in some cases to be valid, and in others has led to the issue of writs in the Prize Court. 6. It has been explicitly acknowledged by the special representa- tives of the American claimants who have been in constant and direct communication with the Board of Trade that all the claims so far submitted under the cotton arrangement have been settled with the utmost promptitude so soon as the production of the necessary docu- ments by the claimants allowed of this being done. There is, at the present moment, no claim before His Majesty's Government that has not been paid, and the sums so paid over are already considerably in excess of the amounts realiized by the sale of the goods. 7. As regards the more general allegation of delay in dealing with cases of detained cargoes, the following facts and figures may be quoted: — The total number of vessels which, having cleared from United States ports since the initiation of the retaliatory measures against German trade, are still detained in United Kingdom ports, is twenty- seven; of this number, eight are discharging cotton which His Majesty's Government have agreed to purchase under the above arrangement. Of the remaining nineteen vessels, seven are free to depart so soon as the items of their cargo placed in the Prize Court have been discharged. The other twelve, of which three only are American ships, are detained pending enquiries as to suspicious consignments, and particulars as to the dates and approximate causes of detention are furnished in the accompanying list; it will be observed that eight have been detained for a period of less than a week, and three for a period of less than a fortnight, while the detention of one is due to the difficulties in regard to transit across Sweden and Russia. 8. His Majesty's Government remain convinced that, on an impartial review of the facts, it will be admitted that no arbitrary interference with American interests has, in regard to cotton cargoes, occurred; while if due regard be paid to the enormous volume of American and neutral shipping which is continually engaged in the transatlantic trade the figures and dates quoted in the preceding paragraph will emphasize the restricted natiu-e of any interference which has taken place and the close attention with which the officials concerned have adhered to their instructions to act in all cases with expedition and with every possible consideration for neutrals. 9. Since His Majesty's Government had been compelled to adopt their present measures against German Commerce, they War Documents. 585 have given special consideration to the question of avoiding as far as possible unnecessary damage to the interests of neutra,ls in regard to the export of goods of German origin, and here again liberal concessions have been made to United States citizens. Under the rules enacted on the 11th March provision is made for the investigation of all neutral claims respecting such goods in the Prize Court, and it is obvious that these claims can receive due and equitable consideration most properly before a judicial tri- bunal. Nevertheless, in deference to the express desire of the United States Government, arrangements were made towards the end of March whereby United States citizens who might desire to import goods of German origin via a neutral port were enabled to produce proof of payment to His Majesty's Embassy at Washington. If such proof were deemed satisfactory. His Majesty's Government gave an imdertaking that the goods concerned should not be inter- fered with in trans't, and the American importer was freed from the necessity of submitting his claim to the Prize Court in London for adjudication. A few days later His Majesty's Government further agreed to recognize the neutral ownership of goods of enemy origin even if not paid for before the 1st March, provided they were the subject of a f .o.b. contract of earUer date, and had arrived at a neutral port before the 15th March. 10. Special treatment has also been accorded to cargoes of par- ticular products destined for the United States and stated to be in- dispensable for the industries of the country; and, in notes addressed to the United States Ambassador in April and May, undertakings were given not to interfere diiring transit with certain cargoes of dye-stuffs, potash, and German beet seed. 11. When it became apparent that large quantities of enemy goods were still passing out through neutral countries. His Majesty's Government felt it necessary to fix a definite date after which such shipments must cease to enjoy the special immunity, theretofore granted, from liability to being placed in the Prize Court. It had been observed that a large increase had taken place in the number of vessels sailing from neutral countries to America, and one of the principal lines of steamships advertised a daily in place of a weekly service. In such circumstances it appeared scarcely possible that goods of enemy origin, bought and paid for prior to the 1st March should not have already been shipped to their destination. 1st Jime was accordingly fixed as the date after which the privilege allowed in the case of such shipments should cease; but once more a special favour was granted by extending the date in exceptional cases to the 15th June. 12. Importers in the United States having now had three months in which to clear off their purchases in enemy territory. His Majesty's Government trust that, in presence of the circumstances enumerated, the United States Government will acknowledge the great considera- tion which has been shown to American interests. 13. Nevertheless, a fresh appeal has now been made to His Majesty's Government that shipments of American-owned goods of enemy origin, if paid for before the beginning of March, should be 4450—4 586 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. allowed to be shipped without molestation after the 15th June. The appeal is based principally upon the contentions (a) that insufficient time has already elapsed; (&) that no mention of a time limit is made in the enactment of the 11th March; and (c) that the proofs of owner- ship required by His Majesty's Goverimient are of an exacting nature and involve much time for preparation. 14. The first contention (a) has already been dealt with. As regards (6) and (c), it is true that the enactment of the 11th March contains no mention of a time limit. But it seems to be overlooked that the time limit had been fixed only for the special immunity granted as an exception from that enactment. It was as a friendly concession to American interests that His Majesty's Government agreed to an investigation of claims outside the Prize Court. As for the exacting nature of the proofs required by His Majesty's Govern- ment, experience has shown that such proofs were necessary. 15. In deference, however, to the renewed representation of the United States Ambassador, His Majesty's Government have given further directions that in all such cases as may have been specially submitted through the British Embassy at Washington or to His Majesty's Govermnent direct on or before the 15th June and passed, the goods shall be allowed to proceed without interference, if shipped from a neutral port on the conditions already laid down, notwithstand- ing the fact that shipment may not have been made before the 15th June. 16. His Majesty's Government will also be prepared hereafter to give ,^ecial consideration to cases presented to them and involving particular hardships, if the goods concerned are required for neutral Governments or municipalities, or in respect of works of pubUc utility, and where payment can be shown to have been made before the 1st March, 1915. 17. With the above exceptions. His Majesty's Government regret they cannot continue to deal through the diplomatic channel with individual cases, but they would again point out that special provision is made for the consideration of such cases in the Prize Court. 18. Complaints have not infrequently been made that undue delay occurs in dealing with American cargoes in the Prize Coiul;. An interesting comment on this subject was made by the President of the Prize- Court in the case of the cargo ex steamship "Ogeechee" on the 14tE~ instant. His Lordship, according to the transcript from the official shorthand writer's notes, made the following observa- tions: — "It is a very extraordinary thing that, when the Crown are ready to go on, the claimants come here and say. 'We cannot proceed for six weeks.' Some day, towards the end of last term, I had a row of eminent counsel in front pressing me to fix a case at once. I fixed it very nearly at once — ^that is to say, the second day of the following term. They all came and said: 'We want an adjournment for six weeks.' " War Documents. 587 19. The Solicitor-General hereupon remarked: — "If I might say so on that one of the reasons I applied to-day on behalf of the Crown that the matter should be dealt with as soon as possible is for that very reason. There has been such a strong desire on the part of America and American citizens that there should be no delay, but one finds, in fact, the delay comes from there." 20. The President then stated: — "I know that. I do not know what the explanation is, but I am anxious that there should be no delay." 21. It is true that a number of cases, principally relating to eargoes which, though ostensibly consigned to a person in a neutral country, are in reality believed' to be destined for the enemy, have been pending in the Prize Court for some time. The United States Government are aware that most of these cargoes consist of meat and lard, and that much of the delay in bringing these cargoes to adjudication was due to the fact that negotiations were being carried on for many weeks with a representative of the principal American meat packers for. an amicable settlement out of court. When at length, owing to the failure of the negotiations. His Majesty's Govern- ment decided that they would continue the Prize Court proceedings, and had at the request of the claimants fixed the earliest possible date for the hearing, counsel for the latter asked for an adjournment in their interests, despite the facts that the Crown was, by his own admission, ready to proceed. 22. His Majesty's Government are earnestly desirous of removing all causes of avoidable delay in deaUng with American cargoes and vessels which may be detained, and any specific enquiries or representations which may be made by the United States Government in regard to particular cases will always receive the most careful consideration, and all information which can be afforded without prejudice to Prize Court proceedings will be readily communicated; but they can scarcely admit that, on the basis of actual facts, any substantial grievance on the part of American citizens is justified or can be sustained, and they therefore confidently appeal to the opiaion of the United States Government as enlightened by this memorandum.

Sir, — I have the honour to acquaint you that I have received instructions from my Govermnent to make known to you their attitude for the purpose of avoiding any misunderstandings in regard to Prize Court proceedings in cases in which American interests may be involved. The Government of the United States, in view of differences which are understood to exist between the two countries as to the principles of law applicable in cases before the Prize Coxirt, desire to make clear to His Majesty's Government that, in so far as the interests of American citizens are involved, the Governments of the United States feel constrained to insist upon the rights of their citizens under the War Documents. 591 hitherto established principles and rules governing neutral trade in time of war, without modification or limitation of Orders in Council, or other municipal legislation by the Government of Great Britain. I am instructed to add that the Government of the United States cannot recognize the validity of proceedings taken in His Majesty's Prize Court under restraints imposed by the municipal law of Great Britain in derogation of the rights of American citizens. I have, etc. WALTER HINES PAGE. No. 6. Mr. Page to Sir Edward Grey. — (Received July 19.) American Embassy, London, July 17, 1915. Sir, — I have the honour to acquaint you that I am in receipt of instructions from my Government to request your consideration of the following matter, which it regards as being of the utmost import- ance: — It has been brought to the attention of the Secretary of State that the steamship "Neches," of American register, sailing from Rotterdam to a port of the United States, carrying general cargo, was detained in the Downs and brought to London, where its captain was obliged by His Majesty's authorities to discharge the cargo, the property of American citizens. The ground advanced to sustain this action, it appears, is that the goods in question originated, in part at least, in Belgium, and fell therefore within the provisions of paragraph 4 of the Order in Council of the 11th March, which stipulates that every merchant- vessel sailing from a port other than a German port carrying goods of enemy origin may be required to discharge such goods in a British or Allied port. The Government of the United States very earnestly reiterates its position with respect to this Order in Council, as set forth in the note which I had the honour to address to you on the 2nd April, 1915,* and regards the international invalidity of the order as plainly illustrated in thfe present instance of the seizure of American-owned goods passing from the neutral port of Rotterdam to a neutral port of the United States, merely because the goods came originally from territory in the possession of Great Britain's enemy. In view of the position of my Government as set forth above, I am instructed to acquaint you that the legality of the seizure of these goods on board the "Neches" by His Majesty's authorities cannot be admitted by the Government of the United States, and that it con- siders that the course pursued is in violation of the right of the citizens of one neutral country to trade with those of another, as well as with those of belligerents, except in contraband or in contravention of a legal blockade of an enemy seaport. My Government feels that it •See No. 1. 592 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. must insist upon the rights of American owners to bring their goods out of Holland in due course in neutral ships, even though such goods may have come originally from the territories of a country at war with Great Britain. I am furthermore directed to communicate my Government's insistent request that goods taken from the steamship "Neches," which are the property of American citizens, shall be expeditiously released to be forwarded to their destination. I venture to ask that you will be so good as to let me be informed at the earliest convenient moment as to the course of His Majesty's Government in this connection. I have, etc. WALTER HINES PAGE. No. 7. Sir C. Spring-Rice to Sir Edward Grey. — (Received July 23.) Washington, July 22, 1916. (Telegraphic.) Mr. Lansing draws serious attention to increase in export from United Kingdom to Northern European ports since the war which have formed the subject of unfavorable reports from the United States consul-general in London. Germans here are said to make use of these facts to create ill-feeling by circuiatitig allegations that England is preventing American oversea trade with neutral countries in Europe with a view to capture this trade for herself, and that we are ourselves exporting the very goods which we have seized from Americans. No. 8. Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Page. Foreign Office, July 23, 1915. Your Excellency, On the 2nd April your Excellency handed to me a copy of a com- munication* containing the criticisms of the United States Govern- ment on the measures we have been constrained to take on account of the menace to peaceful commerce resulting from the German sub- marine poUcy. This communication has received the most careful consideration of His Majesty's Government. 2. I fully appreciate the friendly spirit and the candoiu- which are shown in the communication, and, replying in the same spirit, I trust that I may be able to convince your Excellency, and also the Administration at Washington, that the measures we have announced are not only reasonable and necessary in. themselves, but constitute no more than an adaption of the old principle of blockade to the peculiar circumstances with which we are coiifronted. *See No. 1. War Documents. 593 3. I need scarcely dwell on the obligation incumbent upon the Allies to take every step in their power to overcome their common enemy, in view of the shocking violation of the recognised rules and principles of civiUsed warfare of which he has been guilty during the present struggle. Your Excellency's attention has already been drawn to some of these proceedings in the memorandmn which I handed to you on the 19th February. Since that time Lord Bryce's Report, based on evidence carefully sifted by legal experts, describing the atrocities committed in Belgium; the poisoning of wells in German South-West Africa; the use of poisonous gases against the troops in Flanders; and, &ially, the sinking of the "Lusitania," without any opportimity to passengers and non-combatants to save their lives, have shown how indispensable it is that we should leave imused no justifiable method in defending ourselves. 4. Your Excellency will remember that in my notes of the 13th and 15th March* I explained that the Allied Governments intended to meet the German attempts to stop all supplies of every kind from leaving or entering British or French ports by themselves intercepting goods going to or from Germany. I read the communication from your ExceUency's Government not as questioning the necessity for our taking all the steps open to us to cripple the enemy's trade, but as directed solely to the question of the legitimacy of the particular measures adopted. 5. In the various notes which I have received from your Excell- ency, the right of a belligerent to estabhsh a blockade of the enemy ports is admitted — a, right which has obviously no value save in so far as it gives power to a belUgerent to cut off the sea-borne exports and imports of his enemy. The contention which, 1 understand, the United States Government now puts forward is that, if a beUigerent is so circiunstanced that his commerce can pass through adjacent neutral ports as easily as through ports in his own territory, his oppon- ent has no right to interfere, and must restrict his measures of blockade in such a manner as to leave such avenues of commerce still open to his adversary. This is a contention which His Majesty's Government feel unable to accept, and which seems to them unsus- tainable either in point of law or upon principles of international equity. They are unable to admit that a belligerent violates any fundamental principle of international law by applying a blockade in such a way as to cut off the enemy's commerce with foreign countries through neutral ports if the circumstances render such an application of the principles of blockade the only means of making it effective. The Government of the United States, indeed, intimates its readiness to take into account "the great changes which have occupied in the "conditions and means of naval warfare since the rules hitherto "governing legal blockade were formulated," and recognises that "the "form of close blockade, with its cordon of ships in the immediate "offing of the blockaded ports, is no longer practicable in the face of "an enemy possessing the means and opportunity to make an effective "defence by the use of submarines, mines, and aircraft." 6. The only question, then, which can arise in regard to the mea- sures resorted to for the purpose of carrying out a blockade upon *See "Miscellaneous, No. 6 (1915)," Noa. 12 and 13. 594 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. these extended lines is whether, to use your Excellency's words, they "conform to the spirit and principles of the essence of the rules of "war," and we shall be content to apply this test to the action which we have taken in so far as it has necessitated interference with neutral commerce. 7. It may be noted in this coimection that at the time of the Civil War, the United States found themselves under the necessity of declaring a blockade of some 3,000 miles of coast-line, a military operation for which the number of vessels available was at first very small. It was vital to the c^use of the United States in the great struggle that they should be able to cut off the trade of the Southern States, The Confederate armies were dependent on suppUes from overseas, and those suppUes could not be obtained without exporting the cotton wherewith to pay for them; to cut off this trade, the United States could only rely upon a blockade. The difficulties confronting the Federal Government were in part due to the fact that neighboring neutral territory afforded convepicint centres from which contraband could be introduced into the territory of their enemies, and from which blockade running could be facilitated. Your Excellency will no doubt remember how, in order to meet this new difficulty, the old principles relating to contraband and blockade were developed and the doctrine of continuous voyage was applied and enforced, under which goods destined for the enemy territory were intercepted before they reached the neutral ports from which they were to be re-exported. 8. The difficulties which imposed upon the United States the necessity of reshaping some of the old rules are somewhat akin to those with which the Allies are now faced in dealing with the trade of their enemy. Adjacent to Germany are various neutral countries which afford her convenient opportimities for carrying on her. trade with foreign countries. Ifer own territories are covered by a net- work of railways and waterways, which enable her commerce to pass as conveniently through ports in such neutral countries as through her own. A blockade limited, to enemy ports would leave open routes by which every kind of German commerce could pass almost as easily as through the ports in her own territory. Rotterdam is indeed the nearest outlet for some of the industrial districts of Germany. 9. As a counterpoise to the freedom with which one belligerent may send his commerce across a neutral country without compro- mising its neutrality, the other belligerent may fairly claim to intercept such commerce before it has reached, or after it has left, the neutral State, provided, of course, that he can estabUsh that the commerce with which he interferes is the commerce of his enemy and not commerce which is bona fide destined for, or proceeding from, the neutral State. It seems accordingly that, if it be recognised that a blockade iS in certain cases the appropriate method of intercepting the trade of an enemy country, and if the blockade can only become effective by extending it to enemy commerce passing through neutral ports, such an extention is defensible and in accordance with principles which have met with general acceptance. 10. To the contention that such action is not directly supported by written authority it may be replied that it is the business of writers on international law to formulate existing rules rather than War Documents. 595 to offer suggestions for their adaptation to altered circumstances, and your Excellency will remember the unmeasured terms in which a group of prominent international lawyers of all nations condemned the doctrine which had been laid down by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of the "Springbok" — a doctrine upheld by the Claims Commission at Washington in 1873. But the United States and the British Governments took a broader view, and looked below the surface at the underlying principles; and the Gcfvemment of this country, whose nationals were the sufferers by the extention and development of the old methods of blockade made by the United States during the Civil War, abstained from all protest against the decisions by which the ships and their cargoes were condemned. 11. What is really important in the general interest is that adapt- ations of the old rules should not made be unless they are consistent with the general principles upon which an admited belligerent right is based. It is also essential that all unnecessary injury to neutrals should be avoided. With these conditions it may be safely affirmed that the steps we are taking to intercept commodities on their way to and from Germany fully comply. We are interfering with no goods with which we should not be entitled to interfere by blockade if the geographical position and the conditions of Germany at present were such that her commerce passed through her own ports. We are taking the utmost possible care not to interfere with commerce genuinely destined for or proceeding from neutral countries. Further- more, we have tempered the severity with which our measures might press upon neutrals by not applying the rule which was invariable in the old form of blockade, that ships and goods on their way to or from the blockaded area are hable to condemnation. 12. The communication made by the United States Embassy on the 2nd April describes as a novel and quite unprecedented feature of the blockade that it embraces many neutral ports and coasts and has the effect of barring access to them. It does not appear that our measures can be properly so described. If we are successful in the efforts we are making to distinguish between the commerce of neutral and enemy countries, there will be no substantial interference with the trade of neutral ports except in so far as they constitute ports of access to and exit from the enemy territory. There are at this moment many neutral ports which it would bie mere affectation to regard as offering facilities only for the commerce of the neutral country in which they are situated; and the only commerce with which we propose to interfere is that of the enemy, who seeks to make use of such ports for the purposes of transit to or from his own country. 13. One of the earUer passages in your Excellency's memorandum was to the- effect that the sovereignty of neutral nations in time of war suffers no diminution except in so far as the practice and consent of civilised nations has limited it "by the recognition of certain now clearly determined rights," which it is considered may be exercised by nations at war, and these it defines as the right of capture and condemnation for unneutral service, for the carriage of contraband, and for breach of blockade. I may, however, be permitted to point out that the practice of nations on each of the 596 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. three subjects mentioned has not at any time been miiform or clearly determined, nor has the practice of any maritime nation always been consistent. 14. There are various particulars in which the exact method of carrying a blockade into effect has from time to time varied. The need of a public notification, the requisite standard of effectiveness, the locahty of the blockading squadrons, the right of the individual ship to a preliminary warning that the blockade is in force, and the penalty to be inflicted on a captured blockade runner are all subjects on which different views have prevailed in different countries, and in which the practice of particular countries has been altered from time to time. The one principle which is fvmdamental and has obtained universal recognition is that, by means of blockade, a belligerent is entitled to cut off by effective means the sea-borne commerce of his enemy. 15. It is the same with contraband. The underlying principle is well established, but as to the details there has been a wide variety of view. As for \mneutral service, the very term is of such recent introduction that many writers of repute on international law do not even mention it. It is imposible, in the view of His Majesty's Government, in these circumstances to maintain that the right of a beUigerent to intercept the commerce of his enemy is limited in the way suggested in your Excellency's communication. 16. There are certain subsidiary matters dealt with in your Excellency's communication to which I think it well to refer. Amongst these may be mentioned yom- citation of the Declaration of Paris, due, no doubt, to the words which occur in the memorandum sent by me to your Excellency on the 1st March,* wherein it was stated that the Allied Governments woiild hold themselves free to detain and take into port ships carrying gc/ods of presumed enemy destination, ownership, or origin, and to our announcement that vessels might be required to discharge goods of enemy ownership as well as those of enemy origin or destination. 17. It is not necessary to discuss the extent to which the second rule of the Declaration of Paris is affected by these measures, or whether it could be held to apply at all as between Great Britain and the United States. In actual practice, however, we are not detainmg goods on the sole ground that they are the property of an enemy. The purpose of the measures we are taking is to iatercept commerce on its way from and to the enemy coimtry. There are many cases in which proof that the goods were enemy property would afford strong evidence that they were of enemy origin or enemy destination, and it is only in such cases that we are detaining them. Where proof of enemy ownership would afford no evidence of such origin or destination, we are not in practice detaimng the goods. 18. His Majesty's Government have been gratified to observe that the measures which they are enforcing have had no detrimental effect on the commerce of the United States. Figures of recent months show that the increased opportunities afforded by the war *See "Miscellaneous, No. 6 (1915)," No. 10. War Documents. 597 for American commerce have more than compensated for the loss of the German and Austrian markets. 19. I trust that in the light of the above explanations it will be realised that the measures to which we have resorted have been not only justified by the exigencies of the case, but can be defended as in accordance with general principles which have commended themselves to the Governments of both countries. I am glad to be able to assure your Excellency that we shall continue to apply these measures with every desire to occasion the least possible amount of inconvenience to persons engaged in legitimate commerce. I have, etc. E. GREY. No. 9. Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Page. Foreign Office, July 30, 1915. YouK Excellency, — The note which your Excellency addressed to me on the 17th instant,* respecting the detention of the cargo of the steamship "Neches" has, I need hardly say, received the careful attention of His Majesty's Goveriunent. The note which I had the honour to send to yoiir Excellency on the 23rd instantf has already explained the view of His Majesty's Government on the legal aspect of the question, though it was prepared before your Excellency's communication of the 17th had been received; and pending consideration by the Government of the United States of the views and argiunents set forth in the British note of the 23rd, it is unnecessary for me to say more on the question of right or of law. There is, however, one general observation that seems relevant to the note from your Excellency respecting the cargo of the " Neches." It is the practice of the German Government in the waters through which the "Neches" was passing to sink neutral as well as British merchant-vessels, irrespective of the destination of the vessel, of the destination or origin of the cargo, and without proper regard or provision for the safety of passengers or crews, many of whom have lost their Uves in consequence. There can be no question that this action is contrary to the recognized and settled rules of international law, as well as to the principles of humanity. His Majesty's Goverimient, on the other hand, have adhered to the rules of visit and search, and have observed the obligation to bring into port and submit to a Prize Court any ships or cargoes with regard to which they think they have a good case for detention or for con- demnation as contraband. His Majesty's Government are not aware, except from the published correspondjence between the. United States and Germany, to what extent reparation has been claimed from Germany by neutrals *See No. 6. tSee No. 8. 698 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. for loss of ships, lives, and cargoes, nor how far these acts have been the subject even of protest by the neutral Governments concerned. While these acts of the German Government continue, it seems neither reasonable nor just that His Majesty's Goverimient should be pressed to abandon the rights claimed in the British note of the 23rd and to allow goods from Germany to pass freely through waters effectively patrolled by British ships of war. If, however, it be alleged that in particular cases and special circumstances hardship may be inflicted on citizens of neutral coun- tries. His Majesty's Government are ready in such cases to examine the facts in a spirit of consideration for the interest of neutrals, and in this spirit they are prepared to deal with the cargo of the "Neches," to which your Excellency has called attention, if it is held that the particular circumstances of this case fall within this category. I have, etc., E. GREY. No. 10. Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Page. Foreign Office, July 31, 1915. YoTJR E^CELLENCY,-rI have the honour to acknowledge th« receipt of the note dated the 16th instant,* in which you were good enough to conununicate to me, for the information of His Majesty's Government, the opinion held by the Government of the United States that, in view of differences which they understand to exist between the two countries as to the principles of law appUcable in cases before the Prize Court, they could not recognize the validity of proceedings taken in His Majesty's Prize Court in derogation of th« rights of citizens of the United States. 2. I do not understand to what divergence of views as to the principles of law appUcable in cases before the Prize Court the Government of the United States refer, for I am not aware of any differences existing between the two covmtries as to the principles of law appUcable in cases before such Courts. 3. British Prize Courts, according to the ancient form of com- mission under which they sit, are to determine cases which come before them "according to the course of Admiralty, and the law of nations, and the statutes, rules, and regulations for the time being in force in that behalf." As to the principles appUed by the American Prize Courts, I note that, in the case of the "Amy Warwick" (2 Sprague, 123), it was held that "Prize Courts are subject to the instructions of their own Sovereign. In the absence of such instruc- tions, their jurisdiction and rules of decision are to be ascertained by reference to the known powers of such tribunals, and the principles by which they are governed under the public law and the practice of nations." It would appear, therefore, that the principles appUed by the Prize Courts of the two countries are identical. ♦See No. 5. War Documents. 599 4. As illustrating further the attitude adopted by the judges of British Prize Courts towards these two sources of law, the municipal legislation of its Sovereign on the one hand and the principles of international law on the other, I should like to refer your Excellency to a classical passage in the judgment of Lord Stowell in the case of the "Fox," in which that famous judge observed: — "In the course of the discussion a question has been started, What would be the duty of the Court under Orders in Council that were repugnant to the law of nations? "It has been contended on one side that the Court would at all events be bound to enforce the Orders in Council; on the other, that the Court would be bound to apply the rule of the law of nations adopted to the particular case in disregard of the Orders in Council This Court is bound to administer the law of nations to the subjects of other coxmtries in the different relations in which they may be placed towards this country and its Government. That is what others have a right to demand for their subjects, and to complain if they receive it not. This is its unwritten law, evidenced in the course of its decisions, and collected from the common usage of civilized States. At the same time, it is strictly true that, by the Constitution of this country, the King in Council possesses legislative rights over this Court, and has power to issue orders and instructions which it is bound to obey and enforce; and these constitute the written law of this Court. These two propositions, that the Court is bound to administer the law of nations, and that it is bound to enforce the King's Orders in Council, are not at all inconsistent with each other, because these orders and instructions are pre- sumed to conform themselves, under the given circumstances, to the principles of its unwritten law. They are either directory applications of these principles to the cases indicated in them; cases which, with all the facts and circumstances belonging to them, and which constitute their legal character, could be but imperfectly known to the Coiu-t itself ; or they are positive regulations, consistent with these principles, applying to matters which require more exact and definite rules than those general principles are capable of furnishing. The constitution of this Court, relatively to the legislative power of the King in Council, is analogous to that of the Courts of common law, relatively to the Parhament of this kingdom. These Courts have their unwritten law, the approved principles of natural reason and justice; they have likewise the written or statute law, in Acts of Parhament, which are directory apphcations of the same prin- ciples to particular subjects, or positive regulations consistent with them, upon matters which would remain too much at large if they were left to the imperfect information which the Courts could extract from mere general speculations. What could be the duty of the individuals who preside in these Courts, if required to enforce an Act of Parliament, which contradicted those prin- ciples, is a question which I presume they would not entertain a ■priori; because they will not entertain a priori the supposition that any such will arise. In Uke manner, this Court will not let 600 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. itself loose into speculations, as to what would be its duty under such an emergency; because it cannot, without extreme inde- cency, presume that any such emergency will happen. And it is the less disposed to entertain them, because its own observation and experience attest the general conformity of such orders and instructions to its principles of unwritten law." 5. The above passage has recently been quoted and adopted by the President of the Prize Court in the case of the "Zamora," in which Sir S. Evans said: — "I make bold to express the hope and beUef, that the nations of the world need not be apprehensive that Orders in Council will emanate from the Government of this country in such violation of the acknowledged law of nations that it is conceivable that our Prize Tribunals, holding the law of nations in reverence, would feel called upon to disregard and refuse obedience to the provisions of such Orders." 6. In the note which I handed to your Excellency on the 23rd July I endeavoured to convince the Government of the United States, and I trust with success, that the measm-es which we have felt ourselves compelled to adopt, in consequence of the niunerous acts committed by our enemies in violation of the laws of war and the dictates of humanity, are consistent with the principles of international law. The legality of these measures has not yet formed the subject of a decision of the Prize Court; but I wish to take this opportimity of reminding your Excellency, that it is open to any United States citizen whose claim is before the Prize Court to contend that any Order in Coimcil which may affect his claim is inconsistent with the principles of international law and is, therefore, not binding upon the Court- If the Prize Court declines to accept his contentions, and if, after such a decision has been upheld on appeal by the Judicial Com- mittee of His Majesty's Privy Coimcil, the Government of the United States of America consider that there is serious ground for holding that the decision is incorrect and infringes the rights of their citizens, it is open to them to claim that it should be subjected to review by an iatemational tribunal. 7. This principle, that the decisions of the national Prize Courts may properly be subjected to international review, was conceded by Great Britain in article 7 of the Jay Treaty of 1793, and by the United States of America lilnder the Treaty of Washington, 1871. Your Excellency will no doubt remember that certain cases (collectively known as the "Matamoros cases") were submitted to the Commission established under articles 12-17 of the Treaty of Washington. In each of these cases proceedings in prize had been instituted in the Prize Courts of the United States, and in each case the judgment of the Supreme Court, the Court of last resort in cases of prize, had been obtained. The United States filed a demurrer in these cases, alleging that, as they had been heard by the Prize Coiurts of the United States of original and appellate jurisdiction, the decision of the Appellate Court was final, and no claim based upon it could be made before the Commission. The demurrer was imanimously overruled and the War Documents. 601 cases heard, and the agent of the United States, in his report upon the proceedings of the Commission, stated that he personally 'maintained no doubt of the jurisdiction of the Commission as an international tribunal, to review the decisions of the Prize Courts of the United States, where the parties alleging themselves aggrieved had prosecuted their claims by appeal to the Court of last resort. As this jurisdiction however, had been sometimes questioned, he deemed it desirable that a formal adjudication by the Cdmmission should be had upon this question." 8. The same principle was accepted both by the United States Government and His Majesty's Government, in 1907, in cormection with the proposed establishment of an International Prize Court, although certain constitutional difl&culties have -led the United States Government to propose that the right of recourse to the International Prize Court in connection with a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States should take the form of a direct claim for compensation. 9. It is clear, therefore, that both the United States Government and His Majesty's Government have adopted the principle that the decisions of a national Prize Court may be open to review. If it is held in the Prize Court and in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Privy Council, on appeal, that the orders and instructions issued by His Majesty's Government in matters relating to Prize are in harmony with the principles of international law, and should the Govenunent of the United States unfortunately feel compelled to maintain a contrary view, His Majesty's Government will be prepared to concert with the United States Government in order to decide upon the best way of applying the above principle to the situation which would then have arisen. I trust, however, that the defence of our action which I have already communicated to your Excellency, and the willingness of His Majesty's Government (which has been shown in so many instances) to make reasonable concessions to American interests, will prevent the necessity for such action arising. 10. In any case, I trust that the explanations given above will remove the misapprehension, vmder which I cannot but feel the Government of the United States are labouring, as to the principles applied by British Prize Courts in dealing with the cases which come before them. I have, &c. E. Grey. No. 11. Note verbale communicated by His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington to the State Department. Comments have reached his Majesty's Government from various quarters that a naisapprehension seems to have arisen with regard to the British note of the 30th July* concerning the steamer "Neches" which, it was asserted, had been interpreted as stating that the cargo •See No. 9. 4450—5 602 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. of the vessel had been seized as a reprisal measure against Germany's submarine policy. Sir Edward Grey has requested me to explain that the mis- understanding arises no doubt from the brevity ol the note. The note does not admit any illegality. The seizure was not meant in the nature ol a reprisal, but was based solely on the British conten- tion of the absolute legality of the Orders in Council as explained in the note of the 23rd July* to which the " Neches " note refers. It is also explained that in stating that the British Government does not yet know what steps neutrals have taken against German submarine poUcy , no reference was intended to the action of the United States Government, but to other neutrals who have lost more ships than the United States, but of whose action nothing is known by the British Government. It should be further explained that in making reference to the German submarine policy the British Government only desired to point out that from its standpoint it was hardly just or reasonable that it should be asked by neutrals to abandon any of its legal rights while Germany conmiits illegalities both on Great Britian and on neutrals, though it is admitted and regretted that interference with German trade, however legal, may be inconvenient to neutrals. Washington, August 6, 1915. No. 12. Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Page. Foreign Office, August 13, 1915. Your Excellency, — I have the honour to refer to the memoran- dima which you were good enough to communicate on the 3rd June last,t in which you informed me of the desire of the United States Consul-General in London to be furnished with figures showing the amount of raw cocoa and preparations of cocoa exported from Great Britain to Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Italy during the four months ending the 30th April, 1915, as compared with the same period in 1914 and 1913. Your Excellency will remember that I had the honour to communicate to you tabular statements of these figures on the 16th ultimo. J His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington reported on the 22nd July 1 1 that the Acting Counsellor at the State Department had referred in conversation to the unfavourable impression created at Washington by reports as to the increase in British exports to Northern European neu- tral ports since the outbreak of war received from Mr. Consul-General Skinner, these reports having given figures showing increases in the British exports of some commodities to those countries. I am there- fore coromunicatiag to Sir C. Spring-Rice statistics showing what the exports of the United Kingdom were in comparison with those of the *See No. 8. fSee No. 2. JSee No. 4. II See No. 7. War Documents. 603 United States during the first five months of this year in order that this impression may be removed as soon as possible; but as I hear that statements, no doubt inspu-ed by German agents, are being circulated in America to the effect that His Majesty's Government axe trying to stop the legitimate trade of the United States with neutral countries in order to capture the trade for the British Empu-e, and are therefore allowing goods to be exported from the United Kingdom which they have not allowed to be imported into the same countries from the United States, I think it well to inform your Excellency, immediately of the true state of the case, and with this view to invite attention to the following data and figures: — The increased re-exports of cotton from the United Kindgom to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands during the months of January to May, 1915, as compared with the same period in 1914, amounted to 503,995 centals of 100 lb. The United States exported to the four countries mentioned during this period in 1915 as much as 3,353,638 centals, as compared with 204,177 centals during January to May 1914, an increase of 3,149,461 centals, or six times the increase in the export of cotton from the United Kindgom. The above figures for the United Kingdom are taken from the official Customs returns; those for the United States have been carefully compUed by the War Trade Department from the manifests of those vessels which actually arrived with cargo from the United States in Scandinavian and Dutch ports during the five months February to June 1915, as compared with five-twelfths of the total recorded exports from the United States to those countries in the year ended the 30th June, 1914. It has been necessary to adopt this method, as the "Monthly Summary of Foreign Commerce," issued by the United States Government, gives very few details with regard to American trade with those countries. It is evident that some shipments must have taken place from the United States to Scan- diiiavia and the Netherlands which could not come within the scope of even the most circumstantial compilation of statistics drawn up from the manifests of examined ships alone, and I would therefore lay particular stress on the fact that the figures thus obtained by the War Trade Department are necessarily under-statements of the total amounts actually shipped. But even from the figures thus obtained it is possible to show conclusively how much greater the increases in the American exports to Scandinavian coimtries and the Netherlands ha,ve been than those of Great Britain during the first five months of this year, not only in the case of cotton, but in that of ahnost every other important commodity. Re-exports of rubber from the United Kingdom to Scandinavia and the Netherlands declined from 17,727 centals of 100 lb, in January-May 1914 to 16,693 centals in January-May 1915; on the other hand, exports of rubber from the United States to the same aestmations increased from 1,579 centals to 5^,040 centals. Larger re-exports of rubber to the United States from this country have indeed taken place, but all other re-exports or rubber have declined durmg this period, as the following figures show: — 4450—51 604 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. United Kingdom: Re-exports of Rubber. January-May 1914. January-May 1915. Increase in IQU over 1914. To all destinations. Of which — To the United States. Centals of 100 lb. 533,864 248,435 Centals of 100 lb. 667, 509 418,619 Centals of 100 lb. 113,645 or 20-5% 170,184 or 68-6% It will therefore be seen that this country has actually been supplying more rubber to the United States at the expense of other neutrals, while American exporters have taken advantage of this to ship increased quantities of rubber to Scandinavia and the Nether- lands. In the case of lubricating oils, the increase of United Kingdom exports to Scandinavia and Holland was 703,370 gallons. The increase of the United States exports during the same five months was 3,857,593 gallons, being five times as great; as the British increase. The increase in the re-exports of unmanufactured tobacco from the United Kingdom to the same countries and over the same period was 2,937,244 lb.; the corresponding United States increase was 6,081,848 lb. The British increase is mainly due to the diversion of tobacco grown in the British dominions from continental to United Kingdom ports. The re-exports of manufactured tobacco from the United Kingdom have actually dechned, while exports of this com- modity from the United States to Scandinavia and the Netherlands have hitherto been relatively insignificant. It is, therefore, altogether improbable that the United States can have lost trade in tobacco in consequence of the measures taken by His Majesty's Government. United Kingdom re-exports of cocoa have risen from 2,976,143 lb. in January-May 1914 to 14,504,013 lb. in January-May 1915, an increase in round numbers of 11^ miUions. Exports from the United States for the same months have risen from 12,300 lb. in 1914 to 16,016,000 lb. in 1915, an increase of 16 millions. These figures speak for themselves. In the first five months of 1914 the United Kingdom re-exports of coffee to the same countries amounted to 80,407 cwt., and the exports from the United States to 7,376 cwt. In the corresponding five months of 1915 the United Kingdom re-exports were 263,488 cwt., while the imports from the United States were 285,760 cwt., showing t^iat the United States exports, which were formerly much less, are now greater than those of the United Kingdom. In the case of rice, the increased re-export from the United King- dom, which amounted to 193,458 cwt. for the period imder review, was entirely due to the diverlsion to the United Kingdom ports of the large trade in Indian rice formerly carried on through Hamburg and other continental ports. The export from the United States have increased from 262 cwt. in January-May 1914 to 27,800 cwt. in January-May 1915, an increase of 27,538 cwt. War Documents. 605 The United Kingdom increase in the export of wheat-flour to Scandinavia and the Netherlands during January-May 1915, com- pared with 1914, was 47,045 cwt.; the United States increase was 2,555,593 cwt. for the same period. For the same period the United Kingdom increase in the exports of barley to Scandinavia and the Netherlands was 249,512 cwt.; the United States increase, 2,016,892 cwt. I could point to many other instances of similar proportionate increases in the exports of the United States to Scandinavia and the Netherlands as compared with exports to the same coimtries from the United Kingdom during the last five months. In respect to the great majority of articles for which figures of United States trade can be given, the increases in this trade are greater, and in some cases very considerably greater, than the increases in the United Kingdom trade. In many increases in United Kingdom re-exports are due to the fact that the products of British Indian and colonial products which formerly went direct to continental ports, such as Hamburg, Rotter- dam, or Copenhagen, are now sent to the United Kingdom, and thence distributed to old customers in Scandinavia and the Nether- lands. Among such may be mentioned pepper, cinnamon, and other spices (largely the produce of the British East Indies), Indian tea, palm kernels (mainly from British West Africa), and copra (mainly from the Straits Settlements and AustraUa). The direct trade of the British Overseas Dominions with the port of Hamburg alone is very great in normal times. In many other instances our re-export trade for the first five months of this year shows a large decline. The following statement gives a few examples of such decreases in re-exports from the United Kingdom to all destinations : — 1915. (5 Months.)

The total volume of the trade of the United States with these countries has increased 300 per cent, as your Excellency will see from the accompanjdng table, taken from the United States ofl&cial "Monthly Summary of Foreign Commerce," which shows the comparative value of the total exports of the United States to Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands during the first five months of 1914 and 1915.

Mr. Page, United States Ambassador in London, to Sir Edward Grey. — (Received November 6.) American Embassy, London, November 5, 1915. Sir, — ^Under instructions from the Secretary of State in Washing- ton, I have the honour to make to you the following communication: — 1. The Goverimient of the United States has given careful consideration to the notes you were good enough to address to me on the 7th January, 10th February, 17th June, 23rd July, 31st July, 13th August, and to a note verbale from His Majesty's Embassy in Washington of the 6th August, relating to restrictions upon American commerce by certain measures adopted by His Britannic Majesty's Government during the present war. My Government has delayed answering the earlier of these notes in the hope that the announced purpose of His Majesty's Government "to exercise their beUigerent rights with every possible consideration for the interest of neutrals," and their intention of "removing all causes of avoidable delay in dealing with American cargoes" and of causing "the least possible amount of inconvenience to persons engaged in legitimate trade," as well as their "assurances to the United States Government that they would make it their first aim to minimise the inconveniences" resulting from the "measures taken by the Allied Governments," would, in practice, not unjustifiably infringe upon the neutral rights of American citizens engaged in trade and commerce. It is, therefore, a matter of regret that this hope has not been realised, but that, on the contrary, interferences with American ships and cargoes destined in good faith to neutral ports and lawfully entitled to proceed have become increasingly vexatious, causing American shipowners and American merchants to complain to their Govern- ment of the failure to take steps to prevent an exercise of belligerent power in contravention of their just rights. As the measures com- plained of proceed directly from orders issued by the British Govern- ment, are executed by British authorities and arouse a reasonable apprehension that, if not resisted, they may be carried to an extent even more injurious to American interests, the Government of the United States is obHged to direct the attention of His Majesty's Government to the following considerations: — 2. Without commenting upon the statistics presented by His Majesty's Government to show that the export trade of the United States has increased in volume since the war began, further than to 608 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. point out that the comparative values fail to take into account the increased price of conunodities resulting from a state of war, or to make any allowance for the diminution in the volume of trade which the neutral countries in Europe previously had with the nations at war, a diminution which compelled them to buy in other markets, I am instructed to pass directly to the matters which constitute the specific complaints of my Government. 3. First: The detentions of American vessels and cargoes which have taken place since the opening of hostihties have, it is presumed, been pursuant to the enforcement of the Orders in Council, which were issued on the 20th August and the 29th October, 1914, and the 11th March, 1915, and relate to contraband traffic and to the intercep- tion of trade to and from Germany and Austria-Hungary. In practice these detentions have not been uniformly based on proofs obtained at the time of seizure, but many vessels have been detained while search was made for evidence of the contraband character of cargoes, or of an intention to evade the non-intercourse measures of Great Britain. The question, consequently, has been one of evidence to support a belief, or in many cases a bare suspicion, of enemy destination, or occasionally of enemy origin, of the goods invol- ved. Whether this evidence should be obtained by search at sea before the vessel or cargo is taken into port, and what the character of the evidence should be which is necessary to justify the detention, are the points to which I venture to direct your attention. 4. In regard to search at sea, an examination of the instructions issued to naval commanders of the United States, Great Britain, Russia, Japan, Spain, Germany, and France from 1888 to the beginning of the present war shows that search in port was not contemplated by the Government of any of these countries. On the contrary, the context of the respective instructions shows that search at sea was the procedure expected to be followed by the commanders. All of these instructions impress upon the naval officers the necessity of acting with the utmost moderation, and in some cases commanders are specifically instructed, in exercising the right of visit and search, to avoid imdue deviation of the vessel from her course. 5. An examination of the opinions of the most eminent text- writers on the laws of nations shows that they give practically no consideration to the question of search in port, outside of examina- tion in the course of regular Prize Court proceedings. 6. The assertion by His Majesty's Government that the position of the United States in relation to search at sea is inconsistent with its practice during the American Civil War is based upon a misconcep- tion. Irregularities there may have been at the beginning of that war, but a careful search of the records of this Government as to the practice of its conomanders shows conclusively that there were no instancefe when vessels were brought into port for search prior to instituting Prize Court proceedings, or that captures were made upon other grounds than, in the words of the note which my Govern- ment had the honour to address to His Britannic Majesty's Ambas- sador in Washington on the 7th November, 1914, "evidence found on the ship under investigation and not upon circumstances ascertained from external sources." A copy of the instruction issued to American War Documents. 609 naval officers on the 18th August, 1862, for their guidance during the Civil War, is appended. 7. The British contention that "modem conditions" justify bringing vessels into port for search is based upon the size and sea- worthiness of modern carriers of commerce and the difficulty of uncovering the real transaction in the intricate trade operations of the present day. It is belived that commercial transactions of the present time, hampered as they are by censorship of telegraph and postal communication on the part of belligerents, are essentially no more complex and disguised than in the wars of recent years, during which the practice of obtaining evidence in port to determine whether a vessel should be held for prize proceedings was not adopted. The effect of the size and seaworthiness of merchant vessels upon their search at sea has been submitted to a board of naval experts, which reports that — "At no period in history has it been considered necessarj'' to remove every package of a ship's cargo to estabhsh the character and nature of her trade or the service on which she is bound, nor is such removal necessary. . . . "The facilities for boarding and inspection of modern ships are, in fact, greater than in former times, and no difference, so far as the necessities of the case are concerned, can be seen between the search of a ship of 1,000 tons and one of 20,000 tons, except possibly a difference in time, for the purpose of estabUshing fully the character of her cargo and the nature of her service and destination This method would be a direct aid to the belhgerents concerned, in that it would release a belligerent vessel overhauling the neutral from its duty of search and set it free for fm-ther belligerent operations." 8. Turning to the character and sufficiency of the evidence of the contraband natiu"e of shipments to warrant the detention of a suspected vessel or cargo for prize proceedings, it will be recalled that when a vessel is brought in for adjudication Courts of Prize have hitherto been boimd by well-established and long-settled practice to consider at the first hearing only the ship's papers and docvunents and the goods found on board, together with the written replies of the officers and seamen to standing interrogatories taken under oath, alone and separately, as soon as possible, and without com- munication with or instruction by counsel, in order to avoid possibility of corruption and fraud. 9. Additional evidence was not allowed to be introduced except upon an order of the Court for "further proof," and then only after the cause had been fully heard upon the facts already in evidence, or when this evidence furnished a ground for prosecuting the inquiry further. This was the practice of the United States Courts during the war of 1812, the American Civil War, and the Spanish-American War, as is evidenced by the reported decisions of those Courts, and has been the practice of the British Prize Courts for over a century. This practice has been changed by the British Prize Court Rules adopted for the present war by the Order in Council of the 5th August. Under these new rules there is no longer a "first hearing" on the 610 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. evidence derived from the ship, and the Prize Court is no longer precluded from receiving extrinsic evidence for which a suggestion has not been laid in the preparatory evidence. The result is, as pointed out above, that innocent vessels or cargoes are now seized and detained on mere suspicion, while efforts are made to obtain evidence from extraneous sources to justify the detention and the commencement of prize proceedings. The effect of this new procedure is to subject traders to risk of loss, delay, and expense so great and so burdensome as practically to destroy much of the export trade of the United States to neutral countries of Europe. 10. In order to place the responsibiUty for the delays of vessels and cargoes upon American claimants, the Order in Council of the 29th October, 1914, as pointed out in the British note of the 10th February, seeks to place the burden of proof as to the non-contraband character of the goods upon the claimant in cases where the goods are consigned "to order" or the consignee is not named, or the consignee is within enemy territory. Without admitting that the onus pro- bandi can rightfully be made to rest upon the claimant in these cases, it is sufficient for the purpose of this note to point out that the three classes of cases indicated in the Order in Council of the 29th October apply to only a few of the many seizures or detentions which have actually been made by British authorities. 11. The British contention that in the American Civil War the captor was allowed to establish enemy destination by "all the evidence at his disposal," citing the "Bermuda" case (3 Wallace 515), is not borne out by the facts of that case. The case of the "Bermuda" was one of "further proof," a proceeding not to deter- mine whether the vessel should be detained and placed in a Prize Court, but whether the vessel, having been placed in Prize Court, should be restored or condemned. The same ruling was made in the case of the "Sir William Peel" (5 Wallace 517). These cases, therefore, cannot be properly cited as supporting the course of a British captor in taking a vessel into port there to obtain extrinsic evidence to justify him in detaining the vessel for prize proceedings. 12. The further contention, that the greatly increased imports of neutral countries, adjoining Great Britain's enemies raise a presump- tion that certain commodities, such as cotton, rubber, and others more or less useful for miUtary purposes, though destined for those coimtries, are intended for re-exportation to the belHgerents who caimot import them directly, and that this fact justifies the detention for the purpose of examination of all vessels bound for the ports of those neutral countries, notwithstanding the fact that most of the articles of trade have been placed on the embargo lists of those countries, cannot be accepted as laying down a just or legal rule of evidence. ^Such a presumption is too remote from the facts, and offers too great opportunity for abuse by the belligerent, who could, if the rule were adopted, entirely ignore neutral rights on the high seas and prey with impunity upon neutral conunerce. To such a rule of legal presimaption my Government cannot accede, as it is opposed to those fundamental principles of justice which are the foundation of the jurisprudence of the United States and Great Britain. War Documents. 611 13. Before passing from the discussion of this contention as to the presumption raised by increased importations to neutral countries, my Government desires to direct attention to the fact that His Majesty's Government admit that the British exports to those countries have also materially increased since the present war began. Thus Great Britain concededly shares in creating a condition which is relied upon as a sufficient ground to justify the interception of American goods destined to neutral European ports. If British exports to those ports should be still further increased, it is obvious that, under the rule of evidence contended for by the British Govern- ment, the presmnption of enemy destination could be appUed to a greater number of American cargoes, and American trade would suffer to the extent that British trade benefited by the increase. Great Britain cannot expect the United States to submit to such manifest injustice or to permit the rights of its citizens to be so seriously impaired. 14. When goods are clearly intented to become incorporated in the mass of merchandise for sale in a neutral country it is an unwarranted and inquisitorial proceeding to detain shipments for examination as to whether those goods are ultimately destined for the enemy's country or use. Whatever may be the conjectural conclusions to be drawn from trade statistics, which, when stated by value, are of uncertain evidence as to quantity, the United States maintains the right to sell goods into the general stock of a neutral country, and denounces as illegal and unjustifiable any attempt of a beUigerent to interfere with that right on the ground that it suspects that the previous supply of such goods in the neutral coun- try, which the imports renew or replace, has been sold to an enemy. That is a matter with which the neutral vendor has no concern, and which can in no way affect his rights of trade. Moreover, even if goods listed as conditional contraband are destined to an' enemy country through a neutral country, that fact is not in itself sufficient to justify their seizure. 15. In view of these considerations, the United States, reiterating its position in this matter, has no other course but to contest seizures of vessels at sea upon conjectural suspicion and the practice of bring- ing them into port for the purpose, by search or otherwise, of obtain- ing evidence, for the purpose of justifying prize proceedings, of the carriage of contraband or of breaches of the Order in Council of the nth March. Relying upon the regard of His Majesty's Govern- ment for the principles of justice so frequently and uniformly mani- fested prior to the present war, the Government of the United States anticipates that the British Government will instruct their officers to refrain from these vexatious and illegal practices. 16. Second: The Government of the United States further desires to direct particular attention to the so-called "blockade" measures imposed by the Order in Council of the 11th March. The British note of the 23rd July, 1915, appears to confirm the intention indicated in the note of the 15th March, 1915, to estabUsh a blockade so extensive as to prohibit trade with Germany or Austria-Hungary, even through the ports of neutral countries adjacent to them. Great Britain, however, admits that it should not, and gives assurances 612 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. that it will not, interfere with trade with the countries contiguous to the territories of the enemies of Great Britain. Nevertheless, after over six months' application of the "blockade" order, the experience of American citizens has convinced the Government of th^ United States that Great Britain has been imsuccessful in her efforts to distinguish between enemy and neutral trade. Arrange- ments have been made to create in these neutral coimtries special consignees or consignment corporations, with power to refuse ship- ments, and to determine when the state of the country's resources requires the importation of new commodities. American commercial interests are hampered by the intricacies of these arrangements, and many American citizens justly complain that their bona fide trade with neutral coimtries is greatly reduced as a consequence, while others assert that their neutral trade, which amounted annually to a large sum, has been entirely interrupted. 17. It makes this practice even more harassing to neutral traders that the British authorities require a consignor to prove that his shipments are not bound to an enemy of Great Britain, even when the articles are on the embargo list of the neutral country to which they are destined, and that notwithstanding the assertion in the last British note that interference with such trade by a beUigerent can only take place "provided of course that he (the belligerent) can establish" that the commerce is with the enemy. 18. While the United States Government was at first inclined to view with leniency the British measm-es which were termed in the correspondence, but not ia the Order in Council of the 11th March, a "blockade," because of the assurances of the British Government that inconvenience to neutral trade would be minimised by the discretion left to the Courts in the application of the Order in Council and by the instructions which it was said would be issued to the administrative and other authorities having to do with the execution of the so-called "blockade" measures, the Government of the United States is now forced to the realization that its expectations, which were fully set forth in its note of the 30th March, were based on a misconception of the intentions of the British Government. Desiring to avoid controversy, and in the expectation that the adminstration of the Order in Coimcil would conform to the established rules of international law, the Government of the United States has until now reserved the question of the actual vaUdity of the Order in Council of the 11th March, in so far as it is considered by the Government of Great Britain to establish a blockade within the meaning of that term as understood in the law and the practice of nations; but in the circumstances now developed it feels that it can no longer permit the vahdity of the alleged blockade to remain unchallenged. 19. The Declaration of Paris in 1856, which has been univer- sally recognized as correctly stating the rule of international law as to blockade, expressly declares that "blockades, in order to be binding, must be effective, that is to say, maintaiaed by force sufficient really to prevent access to the coast of the enemy." The effectiveness of a blockade is manifestly a question of fact. It is common knowledge that the German coasts are open to trade with the Scandinavian countries and that German naval vessels cruise both in the North War Documents. 613 Sea and the Baltic and seize and bring into German ports neutral vessels bound for Scandinavian and Danish ports. Furthermore, from the recent placing of cotton on the British Ust of contraband of war it appears that His Majesty's Government have themselves been forced to the conclusion that the blockade is ineffective to prevent shipments of cotton fronj reaching their enemies, or else that they are doubtful as to the legality of the form of blockade which they have sought to maintain. 20. Moreover, it is an essential principle which has been univer- sally accepted that a blockade must apply impartially to the ships of all nations. This was set forth in the Declaration of London, is found in the Prize Courts of Germany, France, and Japan, and has long been admitted as a basic principle of the law of blockade. This principle, however, is not applied in the present British "blockade," for, as above indicated, German ports are notoriously open to traffic with the ports of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. So strictly has this principle been enforced in the past that, in the Crimean War the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council on appeal laid down that, if belligerents themselves trade with blockaded ports they cannot be regarded as effectively blockaded. (The "Franciska," Moore P.O. 56.) This decision has special significance at the present time, since it is a matter of common knowledge that Great Britain exports and re-exports large quantities of merchandise to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Holland, whose ports, so far as American commerce is concerned, she regards as blockaded. In fact, the British note of the 13th August itself indicates that the British exports of many articles, such as cotton, lubricating oil, tobacco, cocoa, coffee, rice, wheat flour, barley, spice, tea, copra, etc., to these countries have greatly exceeded the British exports of the same articles for the corresponding period of 1914. The note also shows that there has been an important British trade with these countries in many other articles, such as machinery, beef, butter, cotton waste, etc. 21. Finally, there is no better settled principle of the law of nations than that which forbids the blockade of neutral ports in time of war. The Declaration of London, though not regarded as binding upon the signatories, because not ratified by them, has been expressly adopted by the British Goverimient without modification as to blockade in the British Order in Council of the 29th October, 1914. Article 18 of the Declaration declares specifically that: "The blockading forces must not bar access to neutral ports or coasts." This is, in the opinion of this Government, a correct statement of the universally accepted law as it exists to-day, and as it existed prior to the Declaration of London. The meaning of this statement is elucidated by M. Renault in the report of the Drafting Committee upon the convention, in which he states: — "This rule has been thought necessary the better to protect the commercial interests of neutral countries; it completes article 1, according to which a blockade must not extend beyond the ports and coasts of the enemy, which impUes that, as it is an operation of war, it must not be directed against a neutral port, in spite of the importance to a belligerent of the part played by that port in supplying his adversary." 614 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. As the Conference assembled at London upon the invitation of the British Government, it is important to recall your own instruc- tion to the British delegates, "setting out the views of His Majesty's Government founded on the decisions of the British Courts," in which you say: — "A blockade must be confined to the ports and coast of the enemy but it may be instituted of one port or of several ports or of the whole of the sea^-board of the enemy. It may be instituted to prevent the ingress only or egress only, or both." You added: — "Where the ship does not intend to proceed to the blockaded port, the fact that goods on boai d are to be sent on by sea or by inland transport is no groimd for condemnation." In support of this annoimcement you referred to several decisions of British Prize Courts, among which an early one of 1801 held that goods shipped from London to Emden, thence inland or by canal to Amsterdam, then blockaded by sea, were not subject to condena- nation for breach of blockade. ("Jonge Pieter," 4 C.R. 79.) This has been the rule for a century, so that it is scarcely necessary to riecall that the "Matamoras" cases, well known to the British Govern- ment, support the same rule, that neutral ports may not be blockaded, though "trade with unrestricted inland commerce between such a port and the enemy's territory impairs undoubtedly, and very seriously impairs, the value of a blockade of the enemy's coast." 22. Without mentioning the other customary elements of a regu- larly imposed blockade, such as notification of the particular coast- line invested, the imposition of the penalty of confiscation, etc., which are lacking in the present British "blockade "policy, it need only be pointed out that, measured by the three universally conceded tests above set forth, the present British measures cannot be regarded as constituting a blockade in law, in practice, or in effect. 23. It is incumbent upon the United States Government, there- fore, to give His Britannic Majesty's Government notice that the blockade, which they claim to have instituted under the Order in Council of the 11th March, cannot be recognised as a legal blockade by the United States. 24. Since the Government of Great Britain has laid much emphasis on the ruUng of the Supreme Court of the United States in the "Springbok" case, that goods of contraband character seized while going to the neutral port of Nassau, though actually boimd for the blockaded ports of the South, were subject to condemnation, it is not inappropriate to direct attention to the British view of this case in England prior to the present war, as expressed by you in your in- structions to the British delegates to the London Conference in 1908 : "It is exceedingly doubtful whether the decision of the Supreme Court was in reaUty meant to cover a case of blockade- running in which no question of contraband arose. Certainly, if such was the intention, the decision would pro tanto be in conflict with the practice of the British Courts. His Majesty's Government sees no reason for departing from that practice, and you should endeavour to obtain > general recognition of its corrtectness." Wm Documents. 615 It may be pointed out also that the circumstances surrounding the " Springbok " case were essentially different from those of the present day to which the rule laid down in that case is sought to be applied. When the " Springbok " case arose the ports of the Con- federate States were effectively blockaded by the naval forces of the United States, though no neutral ports were closed and a continuous voyage through a neutral port required an all-sea voyage terminating in an attempt to pass the blockading squadron. 25. Third: It appears to be the position of Great Britin that, if, as the United States alleges, American citizens or American interests are directly and adversely affected by the British pohcies of contra- band and non-intercourse, resulting in interference with ships and cargoes, they should seek redress in the Prize Coiu-ts which the British Government have estabUshed, and that, pending the exhaustion of such legal remedies with the result of a denial of justice, the British Government " cannot continue to deal through the diplomatic channels with the individual cases." 26. It is declared that this was the course followed by the United States during the American Civil War and the Spanish War, and that both countries have supported the practice by allowing their Prize Court decisions, when shown to be unjust or inadequate, to be reviewed by an international tribunal, as was done under the Treaties of 1794 and 1871. The ground upon which this contention is put forth, and the results which would follow, if the course of "procedure suggested were accepted, give the impression that His Majesty's Government do not rely upon its soundness or strength. Nevertheless, since it has been advanced I cannot refrain from presenting certain consi- derations which will show that the proposed course embodies the form rather than the substance of redress. The cases which the British Government would have claimants present to their Prize Courts are essentially different from cases arising wholly within the jurisdiction of a foreign coimtry. They result from acts com- mitted by the British naval authorities upon the high seas, where the jurisdiction over neutral vessels is acquired solely by interna- tional law. Vessels of foreign nationality, flying a neutral flag and finding their protection in the country of that flag are seized without facts warranting a reasonable suspicion that they are destined to blockaded ports of the enemy or that their cargoes are contraband, although the possession of such facts is, by inter- national law essential to render a seizure legal. The officers appear to find their justification in the Orders in Council and regulations of His Majesty's Government, in spite of the fact that in many of the present cases the Orders in Council and the regulations for their enforcement are themselves complainedo f by claimants as contrary to international law. Yet the very Courts which it is said are to dispense justice to dissatisfied claimants are bound by the Orders in Council. this is unmistakably indicated to be the case in the note you were so good as to address to me on the 31st July, which states that: — "British Prize Courts," 'according to the ancient form of commission imder which they sit, are to determine cases according to the course of admiralty and the law of nations and the statutes, rules, and regulations for the time being in force in that behalf." ■616 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada, The principle, the note adds, has recently been announced and adhered to by the British Prize Court in the case of the " Zamora." It is manifest, therefore, that if Prize Courts are bound by the laws and regulations under which seizures and detentions are made, and which claimants allege are in contravention of the law of nations, those Courts are powerless to pass upon the real ground of complaint or to give redress for wrengs of this natxire. Nevertheless, it is seriously suggested that claimants are free to request the Prize Court to rule upon a claim of conflict between an Order in Council and a rule of international law. How can a tribunal fettered in its juris- diction and procedure by municipal enactments declare itself eman- cipated from their restrictions, and at Uberty to apply the rules of international law with freedom? The very laws and regulations which bind the Court are now matters of dispute between the Govern- ment of the United States and that of His Britannic Majesty. If Great Britain followed, as she declares that she did, the course of first referring claimants to local remedies in cases arising out of American wars, it is presumed that she did so because of her know- ledge or understaindng that the United States had not sought to limit the jurisdiction of its Courts of Prize by instructions and regu- lations violative of the law and practice of nations, or open to such objection. 27.

No. 2. Memorandum presented to the United States Government by His Majesty's Ambassador in Washington, April 24, 1916. The communication addressed by the United States Ambassador in London to Sir E. Grey on the 5th November, 1915, has received the careful attention of His Majesty's Government in consultetion with their Allies the French Government, and His Majesty's Govern- ment have now the honour to make the following reply : — 2. The first section (paragraphs 3-15) of the United States note relates to cargoes detained by the British authorities in order to prevent them from reaching an enemy destination, and the com- plaint of the United States Government is summarised in paragraph 33 to the effect that the methods sought to be employed by Great Britain to obtain and use evidence of enemy destination of cargoes bound for neutral ports and to impose a contraband character upon such cargoes are without justification. 3. The wording of this summary suggests that the basis of the complaint of the United States Government is not so much that the shipments intercepted by the naval forces were really intended for use in the neutral countries to which they were despatched, as that the despatch of goods to the enemy countries has been frustrated by methods which have not been employed by belligerent nations in the past. It would seem to be a fair reply to such a contention that new devices for despatching goods to the enemy must be met by new methods of applying the fxmdamental and acknowledged principle of the right to intercept such trade. 4. The question whether the exercise of the right of search can be restricted to search at sea was dealt with in Sir E. Grey's note of the 7th January, 1915, and His Majesty's Government would again araw attention to the facts that information has constantly reached 632 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada, them of attempts to conceal contraband intended for the enemy in innocent packages, and that these attempts can only be frustrated by examination of the ship and cargo in port. Similarly, in Sir E. Grey's note of the 10th February, 1915, it was pointed out that the size of modern steamships and their capacity to navigate the waters where the Allied patrols have to operate whatever the conditions of the weather frequently render it a matter of extreme danger if not of impossibility even to board the vessels unless they are taken into calm water for the purpose. It is unnecessary to repeat what was said in that note. There is nothing that His Majesty's Government could withdraw or that the experience of the officers of the Allied fleets has tended to show was inaccurate. 5. When visit and search at sea are possible and when a search can be made there which is sufficient to secure belligerent rights it may be admitted that it woltld be an unreasonable hardship on merchant vessels to compel them to come into port and it may well be believed that maritime nations have hesitated to modify the instructions to their naval officers that it is at sea that these opera- tions should be carried out and that undue deviation of the vessel from her course must be avoided. That however, does not affect the fact that it would be impossible under the conditions of modem warfare to confine the rights of visit and search to an examination of the ship at the place where she is encountered without surrendering a fundamental belligerent right. 6. The effect of the size and seaworthiness of merchant vessels upon their search at sea is essentially a technical question, and accordingly His Majesty's Government have thought it well to submit the report of the board of naval experts, quoted by the United States Ambassador in paiagraph 7 of this note, to Admiral Sir John Jellicoe for his observations. The unique experience which this officer has gained as the result of more than eighteen months in command of the Grand Fleet renders his opinion of peculiar value. His report is as follows : — "Ic is undoubtedly the case that the size of modem vessels "is one of the factors which renders search at sea far more "difficult than in the days of smaller vessels. So far as I know, "it has never been contended that it is necessary to remove "every package of a ships' cargo to establish the character and "nature of her trade, etc.; but it must be obvious that the "larger the vessel and the greater the amount of cargo, the "more difficult does examination at sea become, because more "packages must be removed. "This difficulty is much enhanced by the practice of conceal- "ing contraband in bales of hay and passengers' luggage, casks, "etc., and this proced\u"e, which has undoubtedly been carried "out, necessitates the actual removal of a good deal of cargo "for examination in suspected cases. This removal cannot be "carried out at sea, except in the very finest weather. "Further, in a large ship, the greater bulk of the cargo "renders it easier to conceal contraband, especially such valuable "metals as nickel, quantities of which can easily be stowed in "places other than the holds of a large ship. War Documents. 633 "I entirely dispute the contention, therefore, advanced in the "American note, that there is no difference between the search "of a ship of 1,000 tons and one of 20,000 tons. I am sure that "the fallacy of the statement must be apparent to anyojie who "has ever carried out such a search at sea. "There are other facts, however, which render it necessaiy "to bring vessels into port for search. The most important is "the manner in which those in command of German submarines, "in entire disregard of international law and of their own prize "regulations, attack and sink merchant vessels -on the high seas, "neutral as well as British, without visiting the ship and "therefor^ without any examination of the cargo. This pro- "cedure renders it imsafe for a neutral vessel which is being "examined by officers from a British ship to remain stopped on "the high seas, and it is therefore in the interests of the neutrals "themselves that the examination should be conducted in "port. "The German practice of misusing United States passports "in order to prociire a safe conduct for military persons and "agents of enemy nationaUty makes it necessary to examiile "closely aU suspect persons, and to do this effectively necessi- "tates bringing the ship into harbour." 7. Sir John JellicOe goes on to say: — "The difference between the British and the German "procediu-e is that we have acted in the way which causes the "least discomfort to neutrals. Instead of sinking neutral ships "engaged in trade with the enemy, as the Germans have done "in so many cases in direct contravention of article 113 of "their own Naval Prize Regulations, 1909, in which it is laid "down that the commander is only justified in destroying a "neutral ship which has been captured if — (a). "She is Uable to condemnation; and (6.) " The bringing in might expose the warship to danger or imperil the success of the operations in which she is engaged at the time "we examine them, giving as little inconvenience as modern "naval conditions will allow, sending them into port only "where this becomes necessary. ^'It must be remembered, however, that it is not the "AlUes alone who send a percentage of neutral vessels into "port for examination, for it is common knowledge that German "naval vessels, as stated in paragraph 19 of the American "note, 'seize and, bring into German ports neutral vessels bound "for Scandinavian and Danish ports.' "As cases in point, the interception by the Germans bf "the American oil-tankers 'Llama' and 'Platuria' in August "last may be mentioned. Both were bound to America from "Sweden, and were taken into Swinemunde for examination." 4450—7 634 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. 8. The French Mmistry of Marine shares the views expressed by Sir J. Jellicoe on the question of search at sea, and has added the following statement: — "La pratique navale, telle qu'elle existait autrefois et "consistant k visiter les navires en mer, m^thode que nous a "l^gute I'ancienne marine, ne s'adapte plus aux conditions de "la navigation actuelle. Les Amiricains ont pressenti son " insuffisance et ont pr^vu la n^cessit^ de lui en substituer une . "plus efficace. Dans les instructions donn^es par le D^parte- " ment de la Marine am^ricaine, du 20 juin, 1898, aiix croiseurs "des Etats-Unis, on trouve d6]k la prescription suivante: " 'Si ces derniers [les papiers de bord] indiquent de la contre- " 'bande de guerre, le navire devra" etre saisi; sinon, il sera "'laisse hbre, d, mains qu'en raison de jmissants motifs "'de suspicion, une visite plus minutievse pdraisse devoir " '^tre exigee.'* "Toute m^thode doit se modifier en tenant compte des "transformations subies par le materiel que les honunes ont " k leur disposition, k la condition de rester une m^thode humaine "et civihs^e. "L'Amiraut^ frangaise estime qu'aujourd'hui un navire, "pour 6tre visits, doit etre d6rout6 sur un port toutes les fois " que r^tat de la mer, la nature, le poids, le volume, I'arrimage "de la cargaison suspecte, en m^me temps que I'obscurite et " I'absence de precision des papiers de bord, rendent la visite " en mer pratiquement imposible ou dangereuse pour le navire " visits. "Au contraire, lorsque les circonstances inverses existent, " la visite doit ^tre faite en mer. "Le d^routement est 6galement n^cessaire et justifie. " lorsque, le navire neutre entrant dans la zone ou le voisinags "des hostiUt^s, (1) il importe, dans I'int^ret m§me du navire "neutre, d'lviter k ce dernier une s6rie d'arr^ts et de visitee " successives et de faire ^tabUr, une fois pour toutes, son carac- " t^re inoffensif et de lui permettre ainsi de continuer librement "sa route sans €tre molests ; et (2) le bellig^rant, dans sod^ droit "de legitime defense, est fond6 k exercer une surveillance " particuli^re sur les navires inconnus qui circulent dans ces "parages." 9. The question of the locality of the seaTch is, however, one of secondary iniportance. In the view of His Majesty's Government the right of a belligerent to intercept contraband on its way to his enemy is fundamental and incontestable, and ought not to be restric- ted to intercepting contraband which happens to be accompanied on board the ship by proof sufficient to condemn it. What is essential is to determine whether or not the goods were on their way to the enemy. If they were, a beUigerent is entitled to detain them, and having regard to the nature of the struggle in which the AlUes are *Navy Department, General, No. 492, "Instruction to Blockading Vessels and Cruisers," paragraph 13. War Documents, 635 engaged they are colnpelled to take the most effectual steps to exercise that right. , . ^ ' i- xi. 10. The United States note then passes to the subject ot the procedure in the Prize Courts, and maintains that Courts of Prize have hitherto been bound, by well-established and long-settled practice, to consider at the first hearing only the ship's papers and documents and the answers to the standing interrogatories, and to exclude all other evidence unless and until an order has been made for "further proof." Attention is drawn to the fact that the above practice, which had been followed by the British Prize Courts for over a century, and also by the Prize Coxu-ts of the United States, was changed by the Prize Court rules issued by His Majesty's Government at the outbreak of the present war. Upon this matter His Majesty's Government have to point out that they recognised some years ago that modern conditions had rendered the old rules obsolete, and new rules had been prepared under the guidance and supervision of the late Lord Gorell, whose experience as President of the Admiralty Division of the High Court of Justice rendered him well qualified to deal with the subject. Twenty months' experience of the working of the new rules in the Prize Court has served to show the utility of the changes. , 11. It may further be pointed out that the practice and procedure adopted in Prize Courts are not settled or regulated by international law, but they are determined by each nation for itself. The procedtu*e described in the United States notes was gradually evolved in the British Courts, and, though it was adopted by the Uiiited States, it has never been followed in the Prize Courts of France or of any other continental nation, nor does the fact that the United States followed the British practice prevent Great Britain or any other of the Allied nations from introducing such changes in the procedure as modern circumstances may call for. , International law only requires that the practice in Prize Courts of the belligerent nation should afford a fair hearing to all claims put forward by neutrals, and should enable the Com-t to arrive at a just conclusion upon the evidence. Subject to that condition, each nation may /regulate the practice to be followed in its Prize Courts. As an instance, the recent Italian decree of 30th May, 1915, may be quoted, in article 6 of which.it is enacted that the Prize Coiu-t "will draw up rules of procedure for its future guidance." The division of Prize Court proceedings into two distinct phases, the first hearing and the hearing on further proof, under the early British and the American practice, was merely a rule of procedure. Similarly the exclusion of extraneous evidence until the making of an order for fm-ther proof was only a rule of procediu^. His, M^ajesty's Govermnent were, therefore, not only at liberty but felt bound to alter these ruleg so soon as they were advised that the rules were obsolete and might work injustice. 12. The old practice and procedure had become archaic in form and belonged to days long before the modem improvements in legal procedure were developed/ days when, for instance, the parties interested were prevented from giving any evidence as witnesses 4450—71 636 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. in actions which affected their rights. The alterations in the Prize Court practice and rules were conceived and made in the spirit of those improvements. The objects with which the old practice was aboUshed were to prevent delay, to eliminate technicalities, and to enable the parties to prove all the true and material facts, and to place their respective cases fully before the Court. 13. Moreover, it must be remembered that the conditions under which goods are conveyed by sea from one country to another have completely changed. In the days when the old rules were developed the shjip's papers were a safe and satisfactory guide as to the nature and destination of the cargo. If the ship's papers had not indicated the true object and pyxpose of the consigimient, the consignifee would have been uncertain what to do with the goods when they arrived, and the commercial transaction would have been hampered,- for' there were in those days no fast mails or telegraph cables by which supplementary information could be conveyed. If there were no ship's papers, or if they obviously were not genuine, it was a ground for condemnation. When there was no reason to doubt them, the Court could safely take the papers as indicating the real transaction. Nowadays the conditions have changed: the papers may outwardly be perfectly , genuine and complete, yet they may have been prepared with the express purpose of concealing the real nature of the transaction. These misleading papers would not, however, occasion any difficulty in dealing with the goods on their arrival, because the necessary instructions to the consignee can be conveyed by other means. Consequently the old rule that the papers on board the ship must alone be taken into consideration, and evidence from other sources excluded, is no longer practicable; indeed, the system of attributing to the ship's papers the character of final and conclusive proof upheld in the United States note would encourage shippers of contraband to falsify the papers, as they would thereby ensure absolute imniunity from capture. It is in the same way due to change of circumstances that the evidence of the master, and members of the crew has ceased to be of much importance in the majority of prize cases; they usually now know nothing of the real destination of the cargo they are transporting, and the more skilfully the despatch of goods with an enemy destination is contrived, the more effectually will it be concealed from those on board. 14. It may be doubted whether any belligerent Goverimient would be ready to forgo the right of capture of goods on their way to an enemy in every case where such destination was not disclosed by the ship's papers or the evidence of those on board the ship. Thediffi- culty which United States naval officers found even as early as 1862 in complying with the old rule is illustrated by the quotation from Lord Lyons' note on the 22nd AprU, 1863, in connection with the case of the "Magicienhe," one of the cases which is dealt with in the appendix to this note, in which he drew attention to the habit of the United States cruisers of seizing vessels on the chance that something might possibly be discovered ex post facto which would prevent the captors from being condemned to pay damages. 15. The contention advanced by the United States Government in paragraph 9 of their note, that the effect of this new procedure is to War Documents. 637, subject traders to risk of loss, delay, and expense so great and so biird- ensome as practically to destroy much of the export trade of the United States to neutral countries in Europe, is not borne out by the official statistics pubUshed in the United State^-nor by the reports of the Department of Commerce. The first nine months of 1915 may be taken as a period when the war conditions must have been known to all those engaged in commerce in the United States of America, and when any mjurious effects of the Prize Court procedure would have been recognised. During that period the exports from the United States of America to the three Scandinavian countries and Holland, the group of neutral countries whose imports have been most affected by the naval operations of the AlUes and by the procedure adopted in their Prize Courts, amounted to 274,037,000 dollars as compared with 126,763,000 dollars in the corresponding period of 1913. It is useless to take into account the corresponding figures of 1914 because of the dislocation of trade caused by the outbreak of war, but taking the pre-war months of 1914, the figures for 1913, 1914, and 1915, were as follows : — Dollars. 1913 97,480,000 1914 88,132,000 1915; 234,960,000 16. In the face of such figures it seems impossible to accept the contention that the new Prize Court procedure in Great Britain has practically destroyed much of the export trade of the United States to neutral countries in Europe, and the inference is suggested that if complaints have been made to the Administration of Washing- ton by would-be exporters, they emanated not from persons who desire to engage in genuine commerce with the neutral countries, but from those who desire to despatch goods to the enemy imder cover of a neutral destination, and who found it more diflBcult to con- ceal the real fact, from the Prize Court under the new procedure. 17. At this point it would have been opporttme to introduce a reply to the contention that appears at first sight to be advanced in paragraph 13 of the United States note that Great Britain, while inter- fering with foreign trade, has increased her own with neuijral coxmtries adjacent to Germany, but this is rendered unnecessary by the explana- tion given by Mr. Page at the time that he presented the note, and since confirmed by a statement given out to the press at Washington that no such meaning is to be attributed to the paragraph. More- over, the subject has been dealt with in the note which Sir E. Grey sent to Mr. Page on the 13th August last, and again in the note given to the State Department by the British Ambassador at Washington on the 27th December. 18. The next passage in the United States note (paragraph 14) relates to the principle of non-interference with goods intended to become incorporated in the mass of merchandise for sale in a neutral country, or, as it is more commonly known, with goods intended to be incorporated in the "common stock" of the country. The United States Government m-ge with some force that trade statistics are not by themselves conclusive in establishing an enemy destination, and that such statistics require careful scrutiny. On the other hand, the mere fact that goods, no matter of what description or in what 638 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. quantities, are ostensibly destined to form part of the common stock of a neutral country, carmot be regarded as sufficient evidence to prove their innocence or to justify the assertion that any attempt to raise questions as to their ulterior destination is xmwarranted and inquisitorial. It is a matter of common knowledge that large quanti- ties of supplies have since the war broke out passed to our enemy through neutral ports. It was pointed out in Sir E. Grey's note of the 23rd July, 191,5, that it would be mere affectation to regard some of those ports as offering faciUties only for the commerce of the neiutral c/ountry in which they are situated. They have, in fact, been the main avenue through which supphes have reached the enemy from all parts of the world. In the case of goods consigned to these ports, the ship's papers convey no suggestion as to their ultimate destiaation,'^ and every device which ingenuity can suggest, or which can be obnv trived by able and imscupulous agents, is resorted to for the purpose of giving to carefully organised arrangements for supplying the enemy the appearance of genuine transactions with a neutral country. His Majesty's Government cannot bring themselves to beUeve that it is the desire of the United States Government that traffic of this kind should be allowed to proceed without hinderance. 19 The question whether goods despatched to a neutral port were intended to become part of the mass of merchandise for sale in that country is one of fact. Quite apart from the conclusions suggested by the figures, there is a considerable body of evidence that many of the goods which have been shipped to neutral ports during the war were never intended to become part of the common stock of that country, but were earmarked from the beginning for re-export to the enemy coimtries. If they had been intended to form part of the common stock, they would have been available for use in that coun- try; yet at one time in the early days of the AUies' efforts to intercept aU, the commerce of the enemy, when they foimd it necessary to hold up certain cargoes of cotton on their way to Sweden, it transpired that though the quays and the warehouses of Gothenburg were congested with cotton, there was none available for the use of the spinners in Sweden. 20. Confirmation of the fact that many of the shipments to neutral ports were never intended to become part of the common stock of the country is also to be found in some of the contracts which have come to fight since the policy of intercepting all commodi- ties on their way to or from the enemy cotmtry was introduced. One of these which has been disclosed is a contract with a firm in Germany for the sale of no less than 50,000 bales of cotton Unters at a price which was about double that which Unters were fetching in any other country than Germany. The whole quantity was to be shipped to neutral ports. Various shipments made under this contract have been held up, and in all cases the goods were shipped with papers and under conditions which concealed the enemy destination altogether. Sweden is not in normal times a large importer of cotton linters, and it certainly would not be reasonable to maintain that, because the ship's papers did not disclose this contract of sale or the enemy (^stination, shipments of linters under this contract should War Documents. ^ 639 be regarded as intended to become part of the mass of merchandise for sale in Sweden. 21. However sound the principle that goods intended for mcor- poration in the cbmmon stock of a neutral country should not be treated as contraband may be in theory, it is one that can have but little application to the present imports of the Scandinavian countries. The circumstances of a large munber of these shipments negative any con- clusion that they are 60710)1^6 shipments for the importing countries. Many of them are made to persons who are apparently nominees of enemy 'agents,' and who never figured before as importers of such articles. Consignments of meat products are addressed to lightermen and dock labourers. Several thousands of tons of such goods have been found documented for a neutral port and addressed to firms which do not exist there. Large consignments of similar goods were addressed to a baker, to the keeper of a small private hotel, or to a maker of musical instruments. Will it be contended that such imports ought to be regarded as bona fide shipments intended to become part of the common stock of the country? 22. Similarly several of the shipments which the Allied naval . forces are now obUged to intercept consist of goods for which there is in normal circumstances no sale in the importing country, and it has already been pointed out in a recent decision in the British Prize Court that the rule about incorporation in the common stock of a neutral country cannot apply to such goods. The same Une was taken m some of the decisions in the United States Prize Courts dm-ing the Civil War. 23. In the presence of facts such as those indicated above, the United States Government will, it is beUeved, agree with His Majesty's Government that no belligerent could in modern times submit to be bound by a rule that no goods could be seized unless they were accompanied by papers which established their destination to an enemy country, and that all detentions of ships and goods must uniformly be based on proofs obtained, at the time of seizure. To press any such theory is tantamount to asking that all trade between neutral ports shall be free, and would thus render nugatory the exercise of sea power and destroy the pressure which the command of the sea enables the Allies to impose upon their enemy. 24. It is, of course, inevitable that the exercise of belligerent rights at sea, however reasonably exercised, must inconvenience neutral trade, and great pressm-e is being put upon the United States Government to urge the technical theory that there should be no interference at all with goods passing between neutral ports, and thus to frustrate the measures which the Allies have taken to intercept • commerce on its way to or from the enemy. It may not be out of place to recall that the position is somewhat similar to that which arose in the United States in the war between the North and the South. All students of international law and of mihtary history are aware that the blockade of the Southern States was the most important engme of pressure possessed by the North, and that it was on the Pomt of being rendered ineffective through the use of blockade "mners of neutral ports of access. It is well known that the United states Government took immediate steps to stop such trade, and that 640 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. the United States Supreme Court extended the doctrine of continuous voyage so as to cover all ca^es where there was an intentioli to break the blockade by whatever means, direct or indirect. 25. The configuration of the European coast is such as to render neutral ports the most convenient for the passage of Gferman com- merce, and just as it was essnetial to the United States in the Civil War to prevent their blockade from beiag nulUfied by the use of neutral ports of access, so it is essential to the Alhed Powers to-day to see that the measures which they are taking to intercept enemy commerce shall not be rendered illusory by the use of similar ports. The instructions issued by Mr. Seward during the Civil War show that he regarded the continuance of the blockade against the Southern States as absolutely vital, and he repeatedly instructed American representatives abroad to assure foreign Governments that, while he was fuUy aUve to the great inconveniences caused by the cutting-off of the supplies of cotton from Europe, yet he could not, as American Secretary of State, " sacrifice the Union for cotton." The American representatives in Eui:ope in their published report* agaia and again expressed the opinion that, whatever might be the poUcy of the Government, the peoples of Europe would never consenit to side with the Power that upheld slavery against the Power which represented freedom. Their opinion was entirely justified by the result, and in fact neither the French nor the iJnglish Govermnents took any decided steps towards breaking the blockade, in spite of the tremen- dous press\ire which was brought to bear upon them, and the terrible STiffering of the cotton operatives of this country. Indeed, President Lincoln himself acknowledged, in a message to the labouring classes of Manchester, his high sense of the spirit of self-sacrifice which they had exhibited in their poUcy towards America. His Majesty's Government have of course no desire to enter upon any examination of the issues involved in that historic conflict, but no one will question the respect which is due to the determination then shown by the French and British peoples not to range themselves on what they believed to be the side of slavery or consent to action which they held might be fatal to the democratic principle of government, how- ever gre'at the pressure exerted by commercial interests might be. 26. His Majesty's Government desire to assure the United States Government that every effort is being made to distinguish between bona fide neutral commerce and that which is really intended for the enemy. The task is one of exceptional difficulty, and the statistics show that a great volume of imports intended for the enemy must have passed through adjacent neutral countries during the war. As for instance, the imports of lard into Sweden during the year 1915 may be taken. In that year the total import of lard into Sweden from all sources was 9,318 tons, of which no less than 9,029 tons came from the United States. In the three years before the war, 1911-13, the annual average import of the same article was only 888, of which 638 tons came from the United States. It is difficult to beheve that the requirements of Sweden in respect of lard, even when every allowance is made for possible diversions of trade due to the war, could suddenly have increased more than tenfold m War Documents. 641 1915. The inference, indeed, is irresistible that the greater part of these imports must have had another and an enemy destination. 27. It may readily be conceded that the efforts to intercept enemy commerce passing through neutral countries cannot fail to produce some soreness and dissatisfaction. His Majesty's Govern- ment have therefore spared no pains in their endeavour to mitigate the inconvenience which must inevitably be occasioned to neutral traders. In pursuance of this object they are resorting to the policy of ascertaining the total requirements of the country concerned, and intercepting such imports as may be presumed, because they are in excess of those requirements, to form no part of the normal trade of the country, and therefore to be destired for the enemy. 28. The total net imports of a particular commodity by any country in normal times give a satisfactory index to its requirements, and where these are provided for on a generous scale, suitable allow- ance being made for the coihmercial dislocation inseparable from a state of war, it is not unfair, after eighteen months of war and in the light oif the experience which has now been gained, to invite the Prize Court to regard with suspicion further consigmnents of any kind of goods of which the imports have already exceeded a figure ample to satisfy the country's requirements. 29. It ought not to be difficult to arrive at a satisfactory under- standing with all parties on the subject, as the official statistics afford information not only as to the quantities of particular com- modities required by neutral countries, but also of the sources from which they are usually obtained. Arrangements of this nature will be of great service in removing the friction and misunderstanding which now arise, as it wiU help the commercial classes in the neutral countries to form an idea of the limits within which their trading operations are not likely to encounter difficulty. 30. The adoption of such a system, although not unattended by difficulty, has been greatly facilitated by agreements made with the organizations which control imports in the neutral countries, as well as by arrangements with some of the shipping lines and with several of the interests concerned in the import of particular com- modities from neutral countries. His Majesty's Goverrunent intend to avail themselves of every opportimity which may present itself in order to bring about a more extended adoption of this equitable system. 31. Moreover, the fact that a neutral country adjacent to the enemy territory is importing an abnormal quantity of suppUes or commodities, of which her usual imports are relatively small, of which the enemy stands in need, and which are known to pass from that neutral country to the enemy, is by itself an element of proof on which the Prize Court would be justified in acting, unless it is rebutted by evidence to the contrary. Hostile destination being a question of fact, the Court should take all the relevant circumstances into consideration in arriving at its decision, and there seems to be no reason ia principle for limiting the facts at which the Court is entitled to look in a case of this kind. 32. The second section of the United States note (paragraphs 16-24) deals with the validity of the measures against enemy com- 642 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. merce which were embodied in the British Order in Council of the nth March, 1915, and in the French Decree of the 13th March, and maintains that these measm-es are invaUd because they do not comply with the rules which have been gradually evolved in the past for regulating a blockade of enemy ports, and which were summarised in concrete form in articles 1-21 of the Declaration of London. 33. These rules can only be appUed to their full extent to a blockade in the sense of the term as used in the Declaration of London. His Majesty's Government have already pointed out that a blockade which was limited to the direct traffic with enemy ports would in this case have but Uttle, if any, effect on enemy comcmerce, Germany being so placed geographically that her imports and exports can pass through neutral ports of access as easily as through her own. However with the spirit of the rules Sis Majesty's Government and their Allies have loyally complied in the measures they have taken to intercept German imports and exports. Due notice has be^n given by the Allies of the measures they have taken, and goods which were shipped or contracted for before the announcement of the intention of the Allies to detain all commerce on its way to or from the enemy countries have been treated with great liberality. The objects with which the usual declaration and notification of blockade are issued have therefore been fully achieved. Again, the effectiveness of the work of the Allied fleets under the orders referred to is shown by the small number of vessels which escape the Allied patrols. It is doubtful whether there hgs ever'^been a blockade where the ships which slipped through bore so small a proportion to those which were intercepted. 34. The^ measures taken by the Allies are aimed at preventing commodities of any kind from reaching or leaving Germany, and not merely at preventing ships from reaching or leaving German ports. His Majesty's Government do not feel, therefore, that the rules set out in the United States note need be discussed in detail. The basis and the justification of the measures which the Allies have taken were dealt mth at length in Sir E. Grey's note of the 23rd July, and there is no need to repeat what was there said. It need only be added that the rules applicable to a blockade of enemy ports are strictly followed by the Allies in cases where they apply, as, for instance, in the blockades which have been declared of the Turkish coast of Asia Minor or of the coast-line of German East Africa. 35. Some further comment is perhaps necessary upon the statements made in paragraph 19 of the United States note, where it is said that, because German coasts are open to trade with Scandin- avian countries, the measures of the Allies fail to comply with the rule that a blockade must be effective. It is no doubt true that commerce from Sweden and Norway reaches German ports in the Baltic in the same way that commerce still passes to and from Germany across the land frontiers of adjacent States, but this fact does not render the measures which France and Great Britain are taking against German trade the less justifiable. Even if these measures were judged with strict reference to the rules applicable to blockades, a standard by which, in their view, the measures of the Alhes ought not to be judged, it must be remembered that the passage of commerce to a blockaded area across a, land frontier or across an War Documents. 643 inland sea has never been held to interfere with the effectiveness of the blockade. If the right to intercept commerce on its way to or from a belligerent country, even though it may enter that country through a neutral port, be granted, it is difficult to see why the mterposition of a few miles of sea as well should make any difference. If the doctrine of continuous voyage may rightly be applied to goods going to Germany through Rotterdam, on what ground can it be contended that it is not equally applicable to goods with a similar destination passing through some Swedish port and across the Baltic or even through neutral waters only? In any case, it must be remembered that the number of ships reaching a blockaded area is not the only test as to whether it is maintained effectively. The best proof of the thoroughness of a blockade is to be found in its results. This is the test which Mr. Seward in 1863, when Secretary of State, maintained should be applied to the blockade of the Confederate States. Writing to Mr. Dayton, the United States Minister in Paris on the 8th March, he said: "But the true test of the efficiency of "the blockade will be found in its results. Cotton commands a price "in Manchester, and in Rouen and Lowell four times greater than in "New Orleans. . . - . . Judged by this test of results, I am "satisfied that there never was a more effective blockade." Similar language was used in a despatch to Mr. Adams in London. The great rise in price in Germany of many articles, most necessary to the enemy in the prosecution of the present war, must be well known to the United States Government. 36. Attention is drawn in the same paragraph to the fact that cotton has since the measures announced on the 11th March been declared to be contraband, and this is quoted as an admission that the blockade is ineffective to prevent shipments of cotton from reaching the enemy countries. The reason for which cotton was declared to be contraband is quite simple. Goods with an enemy destination are not, under the Order in Council, subject to condemnation; they are restored to the owner. Evidence accumulated that it was only for military purposes that cotton was being employed in Germany. All cotton was laid under embargo, and its use in the textile factorieS^was prohibited except in very special cases or by mihtary permission. In these' circumstances it was right and proper that cotton with an enemy destination should be subjected to condemnation and not merply prevented from passing, and it was for this reason that it was declared to be contraband. The amount of cotton reaching the enemy country has probably not been affected in the least by its being made contraband on the 20th August, as supplies from overseas had been cut off effectually before that date. Even the "Konfektionar," a German technical paper dealing with the textile industry, admitted in its issue of the 1st July that not a gramme of cotton had fotmd its way into Germany for the preceding four weeks. 37. Before leaving the question of the vaUdity of the measures which France and Great Britain have taken against enemy commerce, reference must be made to the statement made in the 33rd paragraph of the United States note that "the curtaihnent of neutral rights by ^ these measures, which are admittedly retaliatory, and therefore illegal , • . . cannot be admitted." His Majesty's Government are 644 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. quite unable to admit the principle that to the extent that these measures are retaliatory, they are illegal. It is true that these, measures were occasioned and necessitated by the illegal and unjustifiable proclamation issued by the German Government on the 4th February, 1915, constituting the waters surrounding Great Britain, including the whole English Channel, a "war zone," into which neutral vessels would penetrate at theit peril, and in which they were liable to be sunk at sight. This proclamation was accompanied by a memorandum allegii^g that the violation of international law by Great Britain justified the retaUatory measures of the German Government owing to the acquiescence of neutrals in the action of this country. The legitimacy of the use of retaliatory ineasures was thus admitted by the Germans, although His Majesty's Government and their Allies strongly deny the facts upon which their arguments were based. But although these measm-es may have been provoked by the illegal conduct of the enemy, they do not, in reaUty, conflict with any general principle of international law, of humanity, or civilization; they are enforced with consideration against neutral countries, and are therefore jm-idically sound and valid. 38. The more abstract question of the legitimacy of measures of retaUation adopted by one belligerent against his opponent, but affecting neutrals also, is one of which His Majesty's Government, think the discussion might well be deferred. It is a subject of considerable difficulty and complexity, but His Majesty's Government are sm-prised to notice that the Government of the States seem to regard all such measures of retaUation in war as illegal if they should incidentally inffict injury upon neutrals. The advantage which any such principle would give to the determined law-breaker would be so great that His Majesty's Government cannot conceive that it would commend itself to the conscience of mankind. To take a simple instance, suppose that one belligerent scatters mines on the trade routes so as to impede or destroy the commerce of his enemy — an action which is illegitimate and calculated to inflict injury upon neutrals as well as upon the other belligerents — ^what is that belligerent to do? Is he precluded from nieeting in any way this lawless attack upon him by his enemy? His Majesty's Government caimot think that he is not entitled by way of retaliation to scatter miaes in his tiu-n, even though in so doing /he also interferes with neutral rights. Or take an even more extreme case, suppose that a neutral failed to prevent his territory being made use of by one of the belligerents for warlike purposes, could he object to the other belligerent acting in the same way? It would seem that the true view must be that each belligerent is entitled to insist on being allowed to meet his enemy on terms of equal liberty of action. If one of them is allowed to make an attack upon the other regardless of neutral rights, his opponent must be allowed similar latitude in prosecuting the struggle, nor should he in that case be limited to the adoption of measures precisely identical with those of his opponent. 39. The third section of the United States note deals with the I question of the means of redress which are open to United States citizens for any injury or loss which they suffer as the consequence of an unjustifiable exercise of the belhg^rent rights of the AlUes. The War Documents. 645 contention put forward in these paxagraphs appears to be that there is no obligation on neutral individuals who maintain that they have been damnified by the naval operations of the belligerents to appeal to the Prize Courts for redress, because the Prize Courts are fettered by municipal enactments which are binding upon them, whereas the very question which those individuals wish to raise is the validity of such enactments when tested by the canons of international law. 40. These arguments seem to be foimded on a misunderstanding of the situation, and to overlook all that was said in Sir E. Grey's note of the 23rd July on this subject. The extract there quoted from the decisions given by Lord Stowell shows that in Great Britain the Prize Court has jm-isdiction to pronounce a decision on the very point which the United States note indicates, viz., whether an order or instruction to the naval forces issued by His Majesty's Government is inconsistent with those principles of international law which the Court is boui^d to apply in deciding cases between captors and claimants, and is entitled, if satisfied that the order is not consistent with those principles, to decline to enforce it. The jurisdiction of the Prize Court in Great Britain therefore affords every facility to a United States citizen, whose goods are detained and dealt with under the Order in Councilof the 11th March, to take his case to the Prize Court and there claim that the Order under which the naval authorities have acted is invahd, and that its enforcement entitles him to redress and compensation. 41. In some matters, it is true that the Prize Court is bound by the municipal enactments of its own country. It is the territorial sovereign who sets up the Court, and who therefore determines the matters which are incidental to its establishment. His Majesty's Government haye already pointed out that each country determines for itself the procedure which its Prize Courts shall adopt; but certainly under the British system— and His Majesty's Government were under the impression that, in this matter, the United States had taken the same course — the substantive law which the Corat applies as between captor and claimant consists of the rules and principles of international law, and not the municipal legislation of the country. Ifreference is made to the case of the "Recovery" (6 C. Rob. 341), it will be seen that Lord Stowell refused to enforce in the Prize Court against a neutral the British Navigation Laws. 42. Sir E. Grey's note of the 23rd July was intended to make this point clear, and so far from having intended to "give the impres- sion that His Majesty's Government do not rely upon its soundness or strength," His Majesty's Government wish to, lay stress on the lact that the principle that no encroachment should be made upon tne jurisdiction and the competence of the Prize Court is one which they regard as vital. ,. ,4^- Apart from the cases where a question may arise as to the validity of orders or instructions on which naval action was based Kc^K ^*f^?*' V ^^equently give rise to claims for compensation on oenail ot individuals who consider they have suffered unjustly from ™ exercise of rights jure belli, as, for instance, from the delay in reieaang theu- ships or so forth. His Majesty's Government declare meretore, to repeat what was said in Sir E. Grey's note of the 10th 646 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. February, that the British Prize Court Rxiles give the court ample jurisdiction to deal with any claims for compensation by a neutral, arising from the interference with a ship or goods by the naval forces. 44. His Majesty's Government attach the utmost importance to the maintenance of the rule that, when an effective mode of redress is open to individuals in the courts of a civiUsed coimtry by which they can obtain adequate satisfaction for any invasion of their rights, recourse must be had to the mode of redress so provided before there is any scope for diplomatic action. This is the course which His Majesty's Government have always themselves endeavoured to follow in previous wars in which Great Britain has been neutral, and they have done so because it is the only principle which is correct in theory and which operates with justice and impartiality between the more powerful and the weaker nations. To that principle His Majesty's Government propose to adhere now that they are them- selves the belligerent, and that it is against them that the claims are advanced. 45. Enquiry has bieen made into the four cases of the "Magi- cienne," the "Don Jos6," the "Labuan," and the "Saxon," men- tionefd in the United States note (paragraph 27) as instances during the American Civil War where His Majesty's Government put forward, through the diplomatic channel, claims for damages for seizure and detention of British ships alleged to have been made without legal justification. In two of these instances it is said that at the time the demands were made the cases were before the American Prize Courts for adjudication. The results of the enquiry are contained in an appendix to this note. The cases have there been dealt with in some detail because they are cited as indicating that it was the practice of Her Majesty's Government during the American-Civil War to claim through the diplomatic channels damage for seizures of British ships alleged to have been made without legal justification. The cases do, in fact, establish the very proposition for which His Majesty's Government are now contending, viz., that in cases where the Prize Court has power to grant relief there is no groimd for putting forward claims through the diplomatic channel. In two of the cases the United States Government themselves dis- continued the Prize Court proceedings and admitted the right to compensation, and in the others they maintained the jurisdiction of the Prize Court ,and Her Majesty's Government acquiesced. 46. The statements contained in paragraph 31 of the United States note have led to a careful review of the practice which is now followed in the British Couts with regard to vessels and cargoes which are released. It has been ascertained that in the case of vessels brought in for exaiodnation and allowed to proceed without discharging any part of their cargo no dues are charged. Where part of the cargo is discharged and passes into the jm-isdiction of the Prize Court, the terms of the release are, of course, subject to the control of the Com-t, and His Majesty's Government are therefore hardly in a position to give any definite undertaking with regard to the incidence of the expenses and charges which may have been incurred. In general, however, they realise War Documents 647 that in cases where goods are released and it transpires that there were no sufficient grounds for their seizure,. no dues or charges should fall upon the owner. The statement that waivers of the right to put forward claims for compensation are exacted as a condition of release is scarcely accurate, but they are prepared to concede that such waivers would be a hardship to the owners of the goods released. In these circumstances His Majesty's Government will abstain from exacting any such imdertakings in future, and will not enforce those which have ah-eady been given. 47. Attached to the United States note are voluminous appen- dices containing lists of various vessels of all nationalities whose cargoes have been examined by the naval forces of the Allies. These lists are a strong testimony to the vigour and effectiveness with which the naval forces are carrying out the measures which the AUies have deemed it necessary to take against the commerce of their enemies. Perhaps the most striking conclusion which can be drawn from these lists is the rapidity with which the vessels are released and the very small amount of loss and inconvenience to which they are, as a rule, exposed. 48. Into the facts of each particular case His Majesty's Govern- ment feel sure the Government of the United States wiU agree that there is no need for them to enter; for the lists comprise only ships dealt with by the British authorities; no corresponding lists are given of those dealt with by the French forces, and a detailed exam- mation of these cases would be of no assistance in explaining the general prmciples which are being followed and which are common to both the AlUes. Furthermore, any discussion of the cases in this note might prejudice the chances of the claimants of recovering compen- sation through the Prize Court in cases where they consider that they are entitled to redress. 49. Finally His Majesty's Government desire to assure the United States Goverrmaent that they will continue their efforts to make the exercise of what they conceive to be their belligerent rights as little burdensome to neutrals as* possible. Some suggestions have ah-eady been referred to in this note which, it is believed, would have that effect, and they are quite ready to consider others. For instance, they have already appointed an impartial and influential commission to examine whether any further steps could be taken to minimise the delays involved in the present methods of dealing with neutral vessels. Again, it has been suggested that it would be a great com- mercial convenience if neutral shippers knew, before they made arrangements for ship-space and for financing their consignments, whether they would be held up by belligerent patrols. A scheme is ah-eady in operation which ought to succeed in accomplishing this object. Other suggestions of a like nature might perhaps be made, and the AUied Governments would be prepared to give favourable consideration to any proposal for the alleviation of the position of neutrals, proAdded that the substantial effectiveness of the measures now in force, against enemy commerce would not be thereby im- paired. _ 50. His Majesty's Government are of opinion that it is to such nutigations that the AlUes and the neutrals concerned should look 648 Departmerd of the Secretary of State, Canada. for the removal of the difficulties now encountered rather than to abrupt changes either in the theory or application of a poUcy based upon admitted principles of international law carefully adjusted to the altered conditions of modern warfare. Some of the changes which have been advocated would, indeed, if adopted in their entirety, render it impossible for the Allies to persist with effect in their endeavours to deprive the enemy of the resources upon which he depends for the prosecution of operations carried on both by land and sea with complete disregard of the claims of humanity; for instance, the practice of visiting exclusively at sea, instead of in port, vessels reasonably suspected of carrying suppUes to the enemy, or, again, the adoption of the principle that goods notoriously destined for the enemy may not be intercepted if they happen to be carried by a neutral vessel and addressed to a neutral consignee, could not fail to have this result. 51. His Majesty's Government have noted with sincere satisfac- ' tion the intimation contained in the concluding passages of the United States note, of the intention of the United States to undertake the task of championing the integrity of neutral rights. The first act of this war was the improvoked invasion by the enemy of neutral territory — ^that of Belgium — ^which he was solemnly pledged by treaty to protect: the occupation of this territory was accompanied by abominable acts of cruelty and oppression in violation of all the accepted rules of war, atrocities the record of which is available in published documents; the disregard of neutral rights has since been extended to naval warfare by the wanton destruction of neutral merchant ships on the high seas, regardless of the Uves of those on board. In every theatre and in each phase of the war has been visible the same shocking disregard by the enemy of the rights of innocent persons and neutral peoples. His Majesty's Government would welcome any combination of neutral nations under the lead of the United States which would exert an effective influence to prevent the violation of neutral rights, and they cannot beUeve that they or their Allies have much to fear from any combination for the protec- tion of those rights which takes an impartial and comprehensive view of the conduct of the war, and judges it by a reasonable interpretation of the generally a,ccepted provisions of international law and by the rules oi humanity that have hitherto been approved by the civilised world. April 24th, 1916. War Documents. 649 APJENDIX. Coses of the "Magicienne," the "Don Jose," the "Lahuan," and the "Saxon." 1. The "Magicienne" was captured on the 27th January, 1863, about 400 miles from the Cape Verde Islands while on a voyage to Matamoras. She was taken to Key West and released on the 2nd March, the District Attorney of the United States stating that he could see nothing in the depositions, invoices, and other papers on which to base a demand for condemnation, or even for a certificate of probable cause of seizure. On the 3rd April Lord Lyons was instructed to ask for compensation, and did so in a note to Mr. Seward, dated 22nd April. In reply, Mr. Seward admitted that compensation ought to be made. The course of procedure suggested by Mr. Seward was adopted, and ultimately the compensation was fixed at 8,645 dollars. No suggestion was made that any other mode of redress was open to the injured party, or that it was not a case where compen- sation should be asked for through the diplomatic channel. On the contrary, the admission that the seizure was illegal was naade by the United States, and Mr. Seward himself admitted that compensations should be made. 2. The "Don Jose" was a small British schooner of 35 tons, which was captured on the 2nd July, 1863, off Cuba when on a vpyage to Havana. She was released on the 15th July because the District Attorney was uiiable on examination of the ship's papers and of the depositions of the witnesses to find any grotmds on which to file a libel against the vessel. On the 2nd January, 1864, Lord Lyons wrote a note to Mr. Seward, pointing out that the seizure appeared to have been one of a very unjustifiable character, and saying that he hoped that the United States Government would have no diffixjulty in admitting that compensation was due. Mr. Seward, in his reply, admitted that the case seemed to be a strong one. On the 18th May Lord Lyons again pressed for compensation and based his claim upon the ground that the United States Law Officer could find no ground for brmging the case before the Prize Court, and that it must be pre- sumed that the Court, if the case had come before it, would in the execution of its duty, have awarded costs and damages. Mr. Seward promised to give the matter attentive consideration. He does not appear to have suggested that the claimant could have himself applied to the Prize Court for compensation, or to have challenged the point urged by Lord Lyons that it was the failure of the United States authorities to bring the case before the Prize Court which deprived the Court of the opportunity of awarding redress. 3. The case of the "Labuan" gave rise to a voluminous diplomatic correspondence. She was a British steamer which was seized by the United States steamer "Portsmouth" on the 1st February, 1862 when lying off the mouth of the Rio Grande within the limits of the port of Matamoros and probably therefore within the territorial waters of Mexico. She had landed a cargo of British goods and was 4450—8 650 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. loading a cargo of cotton and other articles. Copies of the reports which Lord Lyons had received as to this case were given to Mr. Seward privately with a suggestion that the United States Govern- ment might perhaps think it advisable to release the vessel and give her compensation without subjecting the vessel to judicial proceedings. In another unofficial communication Mr. Seward admitted that a perusal of the information in the Navy Department had not satisfied him that the capture was legal, but preferred that nothing should be done until a judicial decision had been given. The official corres- pondeiice that ensued dealt mainly in its earlier stages with the contention urged by Her Majesty's Government that unless the United States Government were going to maintain that the capture was justifiable and vaUd, it was unreasonable to expose the parties inter- ested to the delay and the expense of judical proceedings. The United States Government however insisted that the case must take its corn-se in the Prize Court, and in the circumstances Her Majesty's Government could only acquise. The trial took place on the 20th May in the District Court at New York, when the immediate release of vessel and cargo was ordered, and the question of damages against the captors reserved for consideration. The subsequent official corres- pondence was occupied chiefly with the delays in getting the damages assessed. As early as the 9th April, 1863, Mr. Seward wrote to Lord Lyons a note reviewing the whole correspondence, in which he said "I freely admit that I believe the claimants entitled to damages and cost," but he maintained that it was regular and legal to wait for the Court to decree them, and that the Court would decide the question with more exact justice than could the Executive Government. The period which elapsed before the Prize Court dealt with the damages payable certainly justified the complaints which Lord Lyons was instructed to make, for the decree awarding 141,902 dollars was not issued until March 1868, more than six years after the capture, nor was the smn paid until a further period of over two years had elapsed. 4. The case of the "Saxon" also gave rise to a voluminous diplo- matic correspondence, but I am at a loss to know what ground there can be for citing the action of Her Majesty's Government in this case as a precedent for maintaining the right of a Government to ignore the Prize Court and to claim compensation through the diplomatic channel. The "Saxon" was seized on the 29th October, 1863, by the United States ship "Vanderbilt" while lying at anchor off Penguin Island, on the coast of South Africa. Some confusion occurred at the time of capture, and the mate of the "Saxon" was shot dead by an officer of the "Vanderbilt." The vessel was sent to New York, and arrived there on the 22nd December. Some doubt seems to have arisen a§ to why the vessel had been captured, and Lord Lyons was instructed by Lord Russell early in 1864 to ask the United States Government either to direct the immediate release of the "Saxon," with proper compensation to the owners, or at least to explain the ground on which her seizure and detention were supposed to be justi- fied. Meanwhile further information had come into the possession of Her Majesty's Government, and on the 15th February, Lord Lyons was instructed, on the advice of the Law Officers of the Crown, that Her Majesty's Government saw no ground for seeking to withdraw War Documents. 651 the case from the jurisdiction of the Prize Court. On the 7th March Judge Betts, in the District Court at New York, decreed the restitution of the vessel and cargo free of all costs, charges, and expenses, reserving for future consideration the question of probable cause of seizure Lord Lyons was subsequently informed that Her Majesty's Govern- ment saw no reason to complain of this sentence. They understood the question of damages still to be open, but they were not prepared to say that, if these should be refused, they would, in the pecuUar circum- stances of the case, be any necessity for an official complaint on their part. The only suggestion which Her Majesty's Government made through the diplomatic channel as to payment of compensation was a request that some relief might be granted to the widow of the mate of the "Saxon" who was shot by an officer of the "Vanderbilt," but the request was refused with asperity.

The Local Tribunal may allow an application to be made after the appointed date in any case in which it is shown to their satisfaction that the failure to make the application within the required time has arisen owing to the absence of the applicant abroad, or owing to any other cause which appears to the tribunal to afford a reasonable ground for allowiag the application to be so made. (2) Certificates of exemption from the provisions of this Act may also be granted by any Government Department, after consultation with the Army Council, to men, or classes or bodies of men, in the service or employment of that Department, or in cases where it appears to the department that certificates can be more conveniently granted by the department than by the Local Tribunal, to men or classes or bodies of men who are employed or engaged or qualified for employment or engagement in any work which is certified by the Department to be work of national importance and whose exemption comes within the sphere of the Department. If any question arises whether any person or body of persons is to be treated as a Government Department, or as a separate Government Department, for the purpose of this provision, or whether any exemption comes within the sphere of one Department or ahothet, the question shall be referred to the Treasury, and the decision of the Treasury thereon shall be final for the purposes of this section. Where a certificate is granted by a Government, Depart- ment to a class or body of men, regulations made imder this Act with respect to the constitution, functions and procedure of Local Tribunals may provide for the grant of individual certificates to men belonging to that body or class by Local Tribunals in such cases and subject to such provisions as may be prescribed by the regulations. (3) Any certificate of exemption may be absolute, conditional or temporary, as the authority by whom it was granted think best suited to the case, and also in the case of an application on conscientious grounds, may take the form of an exemption from combatant service ordy, or may be conditional on the applicant being engaged in some work which in the opinion of the Tribunal dealing with the case IS of national importance : Provided that a certificate granted on the ground of the continuance of education or training, or on the ground of 670 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. exceptional financial or business obligations or domestic position, shall be a conditional or temporary certificate only. No certificate of exemption shall be conditional upon a person to whom it is granted continuing in or entering into employment \mder any specified employer or in any specified place or establishment. (4) Where a conditional certificate is granted the conditions upon which it is granted shall be stated on the certificate. (5) Any Government Department may direct that any certificates granted by or on behalf of that Department before the appointed date as to employment on work for war pxirposes may be treated as certificates of exemption for the purposes of this Act. (6) Where a certificate of exemption is destroyed, missing, or defaced, the authority by whom it was granted shaU, upon the application of the man to whom it was granted and upon payment of a fee of a shilling, issue a duplicate of the certificate to him. (7) The Local Tribunal, Appeal Tribunal and Central Tribunal shall be constituted in accordance with the provisions of the Second Schedule to this Act, and any decision of the Local Tribunal or Appeal Tribunal shall be subject to appeal as provided in that Schedule.

(2) It shall be the duty of any man holding a conditional certificate, if the coijditions on which the certificate was granted are no longer satisfied, to give notice to the authority mentioned in the certificate that the conditions are no longer satisfied; and if he fails without reasonable cause or excuse to do so, he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding fifty pounds. (3) Where a certificate of exemption ceases to be in force owing to the withdrawal of the certificate or the failure to comply with the conditions on which the certificate was granted or the expiration of the time for which the certificate was granted, the man to whom the certificate was granted shall as from the expiration pf two months after date on which the certificate so ceases to be in force, be deeraed to have been enUsted and transferred to the reserve in the •aame manner as if no such certificate had been granted War Documents. 671 unless in the meantime the man has obtained a renewal of his certificate.

The Board of Trade piay at any time revoke or vary any such order, and may, in any case where they have made an order prohibiting or limiting the carrying on of the business, at any time, if they think it expedient, substitute for that order an order requiring the business to be wound up. (2) Where the Board of Trade make any such order they may at the same time or at any time subsequently appoint a controller to control and supervise the carrying out of the order and, if the case requires, to conduct the w5itiding up of the business, and m any case where it appears expedient to the Board of Trade, the Board may, as occasion requires confer on the controller such powers as are exercisable by a liquidator in a voluntary winding-up of a company (including power in the name of the person, firm, or company, or in his own name, and by deed or otherwise, to convey or transfer any property, and power to apply to the High Court or a judge thereof to determine any question arising in the carry- 674 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. ing out of the order), or those powers subject to such modi- fications, restrictions or extensions as the Board think necessary or convenient for the purpose of giving full effect to the order and the remuneration of and costs, changes, and expenses incurred by the controller and any remimer- ation payable and costs, charges, and expenses, incurred in connection with the supervision or inspection of the business, whether before or after the passing of this Act, to such amount as may be approved by the Board, shall be defrayed out of the assets of the business, and shall be charged on such assets in priority to any other charges thereon. In England and Wales an official receiver may, if the Board of Trade think fit, be appointed controller. (3) The distribution of any sums or other property resulting from the realisation of any assets of the business, whether those assets are realised as the result of an order requiring the business to be wound up or as the result of an order prohibiting or limiting the carrying on of the business shall be subject to the same rules as to preferential pay- ments as are applicable to the distribution of the assets of a company which is being wound up, and those assets shall, so far as they are available for discharging unsecured debts, be applied in discharging such debts due to creditors who are not enemies in priority to the unsecured debts due to creditors who are enemies; and any balance, after providing for the discharge of liabilities, shall be distributed amongst the persons interested therein in such manner as the Board of Trade may direct: Provided that any sums or other property which had a state of war not existed would have been payable or trans- ferable under this section to enemies, whether as creditors or otherwise, shaU be paid or transferred to the custodian i Geo. V, under the Trading with the Enemy Amendment Act, 1914, to be dealt with by him in like manner as money paid to him under that Act. (4) Where there are assets of the business in enemy territory the controller shall cause an estimate to be prepared of the value of those assets, and also of the liabihties of the business to creditors, whether secured or unsecured, in enemy territory, and of the claims of persons in enemy territory to participate in the distribution of any balance available for distribution, and such liabilities and claims shall, for the purposes of this section, be deemed to have been satisfied out of such assets so far as they are capable of bearing them, and the balance (if any) of such liabilities and claims shall alone rank for pajmaent out of the other assets of the business. A certificate by the controller as to the amount of such assets, liabilities, clauns and balance shall be conclusive for the purpose of deter- mining the sums available for discharging the other liabilities and for distribution amongst other persons claiming to be interested in the business : c. 12 War Documents. 675 Provided that nothing in this provision shall effect the rights of creditors of and other persons interested in the business against the assets of the business in enemy- territory. (5) The Board of Trade may, on application for the purpose being made by a controller appointed under this section, after considering the appUcation and any objection which may be made by any person who appears to them to ' be interested, grant him a release, and an order of the Board releasing the controller shall discharge him from all liability ui respect of any act done or default made by him in the exercise and performance of his powers and duties as controller, but any such order may be revoked on proof that it was obtained by fraud or by suppression or concealment of any material fact. (6) If any person contravenes tlie provisions of any* & 5 Geo. v, order made under this section he shall be guilty of a""*^" misdemeanour punishable and triable in like manner as the offence of trading with the enemy, and section one of the Trading with the Enemy Act, 1914, shall apply accordingly.

(8) The Board of Trade shall from time to time prepare ajid lay before Parliament lists of the persons, firms, and companies as to whom orders have been made under this section, together with short particulars of such orders, and notice of the making of an order under this section prohib- iting or limiting the carrying on of any business or requiring any business to be wound-up, shall be published in the London, Edinburgh, or Dublin Gazette, as the case may require. (9) Where a person being a subject of His Majesty or of any State allied to His Majesty, is detained in enemy territory against his will, that person for the pmposes of this section shall not be treated as an enemy or as being in enemy territory.

APPENDIX V. British Trade After the War. Repobt of a Sub-Committee of the Advisory Committee to THE Board of Trade on Commercial Intelligence with respect to Measures for securing the position, after the War, of certain Branches of British Industry. NOTE. The Report set out in the following pages was prepared by a , Sub-Committee of the Advisory Committee to the Board of Trade on Commercial Intelligence, and presented to that Committee at their meeting on the 11th January, 1916. On January 19 the President of the Board of Trade, in answer to a question in the House of Commons, said: — "The Sub-Committee appointed by the Advisory Committee on Commercial Intelligence to make recommendations as to the best means of securing the position after the War of industries undertaken in consequence of the Exchange Meetings and British Industries Fair organised by the Board of Trade, has made a Report which has been adopted by the Committee and presented to the Board of Trade. I fuUy recognise, in common with the Committee, that many of the recommendations are of wider scope than the particular group of industries to which the inquiry of the Sub-Committee was confined, and that any decision thereon must involve considerations of policy affecting many other industries and interests. I feel, nevertheless, that, pending the institution of wider inquiries, it is desirable for the public to be made acquainted with the information so far obtained. I have, therfore, given instructions for the pubUcation of the Report, without, of course, taking responsibihty for any of its conclusions." The Report is now pubhshed accordingly, subject to the reserva- tions^mentioned by the President of the Board of Trade. ■;. H. FOUNTAIN. U Board of Trade, Commercial Department, 28th January 1916. 4456—10 681 682 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. To the Chairman of the Advisory Committee to the Board of Trade on Commercial Intelligence. Sir, — 1. We were appointed on the 13th July, 1915, to be a Sub-Committee to prepare and submit a Report showing what steps should be taken to secm-e the position, after the war, of firms who have undertaken industries in consequence of the Exchange Meetings leading up to the British Industries Fair held under the auspices of the Board of Trade. 2. The following were the branches of industry to which it appeared that our inquiries could most usefully be directed, having regard to our terms of reference: — (i) Paper Manufacture. (m) The Printing Trade (including Colour Printing). (Hi) The Stationery Trade. (iv) The Jewellers' and Silversmiths' Trade. (v) Cutlery. (vi) Fancy Leather Goods, (m) Glassware, including Table Glass, Laboratory Ware, and Glass Bottles. (viii) China and Earthenware. {ix) Toys. (x) Electrical Apparatus. (xi) Brush, etc., Trade. (xii) Hardware.* A deputation in respect of (xiii) the Magneto Industry was subsequently referred to us by the President of the Board of Trade, and the representations then made to us are covered by this Report. As regards (xii) Hardware, on the other hand, the Wholesale Hard- ware Club, which had undertaken to collect and furnish evidence, was unable to do so within the period to which we thought it advisable to limit our inquiry, and consequently this particular branch of trade is not dealt with in this Report. 3. At our first meeting we decided to address to a number of representative firms and trade associations interested in the particular branches of trade which formed the subject-matter of our inquiry a circular letter indicating the nature of the task on which we were engaged, and inviting their observations on the general question, and also in regard to certain possible lines of Government action which had been suggested to us; a copy of this circular letter is appended to this Report. In reply, we received a considerable number of more or less detailed memoranda, many of which were of great interf^st, and we subsequently invited a number of the writers, and representatives of trade associations which had furnished collec- tive memoranda, to appear before us. *The value of the imports into the United Kingdom affecting this trade amounted in 1913 to an aggregate of about 2,512,000i., of which 1,507,0002. was imported from Gennany. War Documents. 683 4. We have attempted to form some estimate of the value of the imports into this country under normal conditions of goods of the kinds covered by our inquiry, and of the extent to which they are imported from enemy sources. Exact data are not available in several cases, but the following table shows approximately for each branch of trade the value of the imports from all sources in the year 1913, and the values of the imports from enemy countries; in the final column we have added some remarks as to the other sources of supply:— Item. Value of Total Imports, 1913. Value of Imports in 1913 from Austria- Germany. Hungary. Remarks. For packing and wrapping. For printing and writing. Printed paper hang- ings.

It will thus be seen that the value of the imports into the United Kingdom, of goods of the kinds included within the scope of our inquiry may be taken afe approximately 16,000,000Z., and of this total nearly 7,700,000Z. represented goods of German origin, and 600,000i. goods of Austro-Hungarian origin. But it has to be remem- bered that there is also a large German and Austro-Hungarian ejcport of these classes of goods into other parts of the British Dominions. In the abseiice of strictly comparable statistics, no absolutely definite figures can be givejo, but we estimate that the total value of such War Documents. 685 goods imported into the five Self-Governing Dominions and India in 1913 cannot have been less than 3,000,000?. Austro-Hungarian competition is noteworthy only in the case of jewellery and glassware. As regards German competition in the branches of trade imder review, it is to be observed that it is limited, as a rule, to certain special lines of goods and does not extend to the whole range of articles included in the class; and that in a number of cases the exports of United Kingdom manufactures included under the same general heading are larger than, or nearly as large as, the foreign imports. This is so as regards paper for printing and writing; printed paper hangings; stationery (other than paper); cutlery; china and earthenware; telegraph and telephone 'apparatus; unenumerated electrical goods and apparatus; and electrical machinery. The only cases in. which the values of- the imports of foreign made goods are largely in excess of those of the exports of United Kingdom manufactm-es included under the same general headings are — paper for packing and wrapping; jewellery; fancy leather manufactures; flint glass and manufactures thereof; toys and games; and magnetos, which have been practically a German monopoly. 6. We proceed to the consideration of the detailed representations as to the ways in which Government assistance might be given to the various branches of industry which have been under our exami- nation. 7. (i) Industrial Scientific Research. — ^The value of scientific re- search in industry, and the desirability of Government assistance in the promotion thereof, was generally recognised both in the memo- randa furnished to us and by the witnesses who appeared before us, though it was admitted that British manufacturers and workmen have not always shown themselves in the past sufficiently appreciative of the value of scientific investigation into industrial problems, or of technical training. In a number of cases reference was made to the valuable assistance given by technical institutions to German industry, and, though no very definite evidence on the point was adduced, we see no reason to doubt the validity of the opinions expressed. As regards the particular British industries with which we are now concerned, very valuable work is being done in respect of glass by the University of Shefiield and the Institute of Chemistry (by the latter body especially as regards chemical glassware and optical glass); in respect of hard porcelain, and china and earthenware generally, by the School of Pottery at Stoke-on-Trent, which is an interesting example of combined trade enterprise; and in respect of paper, by the Manchester Institute of Technology, which, however, though fully equipped, is stated to exercise only a local influence and not to be utihsed by the trade generally. All these institutions are said to be handicapped by inadequate financial resources. The representatives of the paper-making industry expressed a strong desire for Government assistance towards scientific investigation as to substitutes for resin size and aniline dyes, and for paper-coating materials hitherto imported, and also in the manufacture of parch- ment, grease-proof and other special papers. In the case of the prmting trade we were informed that much assistance coidd be given by research work in respect of colour-printing and the appUcation of 686 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. photography to printing and lithography, whilst as regards the Birmingham jewellery trade it was stated that research into certain metallurgical problems and into the production of semi-precious stones would be advantageous. The electrical industry, of course provides a very wide field for scientific industrial research. 8. At an early stage of the inquiry our attention was directed to the fact that an extensive scheme of State aid for industrial research had recently been estabUshed by a Committee of the Privy Council, and is, we understand, to be carried out by that Department in close communication with the Board of Trade. We are informed that a strong Advisory Council has been appointed, and that a number of applications (including requests for assistance from the Shefiield University, the Institute of Chemistry, the Stoke Pottery School, and the British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association) are already before that body, and that the first grants are being made. We were accordingly able to refer to the new Coimcil and the funds at its disposal those witnesses who expressed the desire for State assistance in this direction, and to point out to them that the Council in its consideration of any apphcations for help to any particular trade would no doubt be largely influenced by the extent to which the trade had already shown or would show a disposition to help itself. The new scheme is necessarily experimental, but it is capable of much enlargement, and we have no doubt that if British manu- facturers are ready to co-operate with the Government in this matter and to avail themselves of the facilities put at their disposal, the operation of the scheme will be of very great value to British industry. 9. (ii) Amendments of the existing Law as to Copyright, Patents, Trade Marks, and Merchandise Marks. — ^Under this general heading a large number of representations were made to us. As regards Copyright, the most important suggestion made to us was by the representatives of the printing trade to the effect that the United Kingdom Copyright Law should be brought into line with that of the United States; at present printed works to be copyrighted in both countries have to be produced in the United States for the purposes of copyright there, and consequently have to be manufac- twred in the United States, wholly or in part, even if for sale in this country. 10. As regards Patents, it was suggested by the representative of the fancy leather goods industry, and endorsed in some measure by the witness on behalf of the china and earthenware trade, that an inadequate search is made by the Patent Office before apphcations for patents are accepted, and patent rights are granted in respect of articles that have already been upon the market and are in fairly common use. It was iu"ged that a more exhaustive inquiry should be made, responsible trade associations being taken into consultation as to the usage of an article for which an applicant is claiming a patent. In this connexion reference was made to the German and United States practice, and to the supposed fact that in Germany the sealing of|the patent proitects the inventor against actions for infringement; but we are informed by the Patent Office that whilst both Gennany and the United States profess to make comprehensive search, it has proved to be rarely possible to make such a search effective, and that War Documents. 687 in both coiintries the patents granted are subject to revision by the Courts. On this last point it was urged that the onus of taking action in the Courts is thrown upon the owner of an article already in use, but for which a patent has been wrongly granted, and that this is an unfair onus to place upon him. 11. Other suggestions made to us were in favour of international reciprocity in patent matters — i.e., that the amount of protection given to British subjects in any country should be the measure of the protection given to subjects of that country in the United King- dom — a proposal which appears to us obviously impracticable from the administrative standpoint, as it would be impossible to administer a different code of law for each alien who should take out a patent in this coxmtry; for the estabhshment in this country of the German system of Gebrauchsmuster — a question frequently raised, and dis- cussed at the last International Conference at Washington, but in regard to which it has always been held that our Designs Registration is a sufficient protection; and for the establishment of a register of jewellery designs at a local office at Birmingham (somewhat as there is a special office for cotton marks at Manchester) — a proposal which was based merely on grounds of local convenience. 12. The representatives of the Electrical Industry made more comprehensive proposals, namely: — (I.) That three classes of patent protection be created: — (a) A short term or petty patent for improvements or modifications in design, without provisional protection, and at a low cost. (fe) A long term patent for new inventions, the period of provisional protection being 12 months, and the full period to be at least 15 years, with an option to extend it to 21 years by pa3Tnent of increased fees. (c) A patent for discovery of new principles, the patentee to be permitted to claim reasonable royalties from patentees of apparatus making use of such principles. (II.) That an attempt be made to bring about the unifica- tion of the patent laws of the British Empire. 13. The proposals under (I.) call, we think, for more detailed consideration than we have been able to give to them, but as regards (II.) our attention has been drawn to the fact that the question of the desirab^ty of assimilating the patent laws in the United Kingdom and the Self-Governing Dominions formed the subject of discussions at the Imperial Conferences of 1902, 1907, and 1911, and of communi- cations between the various Governments concerned during the intervening periods. At the Imperial Conference of 1911 it was unanimously agreed "that it is in the best interests of the Empire that there should be more uniformity throughout its centres and "dependencies in the law of copyright, patents, trade marks, com- 'panies." The proposal made by the witnesses before xis would appear therefore to have been long anticipated by H.M. Government, and an approach towards uniformity Has, we xmderstand, been made m the recent legislation of the Australian Commonwealth and New Zealand. 688 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. 14. In this connection some exception was taken to a provision of the existing Canadian law, whereby if, after the expiration of 12 nionths from the granting of a patent, or any extension of such period, not exceeding one year, which may be authorised by the Commissioner of Patents on satisfactory cause being shown within three months of the expiry of the period, the patentee or any of his representatives or assigns, imports or causes to be imported into Canada the inventions for which the patent has been granted, the patent becomes void as to the interests of the importer. It was urged that this provision works to the disadvantage of the British manufacturer, as the importation, of any article made under a patent in operation in Canada thus invalidates the patent, even though manufacture thereunder may be actually carried on in the Dominion, but no clear evidence as to hardship was adduced in support of this contention. We imderstand that Canada is the only one of the DoDoinions which has thought it necessary to embody such a provi- sion in its law, and that its action is probably due to the geographical propinquity of the United States. 15. In contrast to this particular complaint of the Electrical Trade Association, one correspondent engaged in the glass industry urged that all British patents should be worked in the United Kingdom, and no articles manufactured abroad for which British patents are granted should be allowed to be imported (with possible exceptions). The same writer was of opinion (which in this instance was shared by others) that the provisions of the patent laws as to compulsory working should be more stringently enforced. 16. As regards Trade Marks, the representatives of the printiag and stationery trades raised the question of the desirability of a system of International Registration. We understand that this has in fact already been started in Berne (Switzerland) under an Inter- national Convention, but that H.M. Government are not a party to it. It merely facilitates registration, and does not in any way touch the rights of those who register the marks. 17. It was also urged upon us that it would be very advantageous if a British and Colonial Trade Marks Convention could be formed imder which a trade mark registered in London would be valid in all the Colonies as well. It is, of course, possible to obtain registration in practically all the Dominions and Colonies at present — the only important exception being India, where Trade Mark registration is not in force; and as a common register appears to present great difficulties, the only advantage of the suggestion appears to be that marks registered in any one constituent part of the Empire would be automatically put forward by the registering office for registration in all other parts. This would simply facilitate registration; we are advised that it would be practically impossible under any such system to provide that the trade mark should be valid throughout the Empire. Any course which appeared to involve a recognition of the principle that priority of registration necessarily confers rights upon the person who has registered the mark over against a trader who has had prior use of the mark for many years would in our opinion be very objectionable. War Documents, 689 18. As regards the Merchandise Marks Act, practically all the witnesses who appeared before us urged that the provisions of the Act should be strengthened so as to require compulsory marking indicative of foreign origin, and that such marking should be on every imported article to which the requirement extends, and that mere marking of the wriapper or other packing should not be sufficient. The representatives of the jewellery trade urged that such marking could be extended even to small articles such as rings, and in the case of glassware it was suggested to us that the marking should be in the glass itself, the sUght resultant disfigurement being of course not objectionable from the point of view of British manufacturers. 19. A number of witnesses expressed strongly the opinion that goods of enemy origin should be marked distinctly with the name of the country of manufacture, and not with some less definite indication, such as "foreign made" or "Not British." It was recognised that the "made in Germany" mark had served somewhat as an adver- tisement of that country in the past, but there appeared to be a con- census of opinion that for some considerable time it would have the opposite effect in the British market. 20. Some of the witnesses urged that the Customs should prevent thfe entry into this country of goods which bear infringing trade marks, but it would appear that the exisitng arrangements in this respect are not fully known or understood. We understand that the Customs have at present a system of registration of trade marks, the property of manufacturers, dealers or traders in this country. Under this system a manufacturer who has reason to believe that his name or trade Kiark is one not unlikely to be imitated so as to constitute a forgery may apply for registration for his name or mark. On such registration being completed the Customs officers are apprised, and m the event of any goods bearing such name or trade mark being observed by them in the course of their examinations, the firm regis- tering are immediatley informed, and on their statement that the marks are infringements, the detention of the goods is continued. A bond is entered into by the firm to cover this detention, and unless some satisfactory arrangement is concluded between the importer and the possessor of the infringed mark the goods are in due course confiscated. 21. The only other point to which we would direct attention in this connection is the suggestion made by the representatives of the brushmaking industry that the Board of Trade should be more ready than it has been to take up prosecutions under the Merchandise Marks Act. This suggestion appears to have been put forward in ignorance of the present position in this respect, as the witnesses admitted that they were not aware that the Board of Trade do in fact prosecute in the case of offences under the Merchandise Marks Act, or of the new rules of July, 1913. 22. (iii) Improvement of Transport Facilities. — ^Under this heading the evidence presented to us showed clearly that there is widespread dissatisfaction with the working of the United Kingdom railway system, and a general belief that the State railway system of Germany IS operated greatly to the advantage of the export trade. Thus as regards chma and earthenware we were informed that "the very '690 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. "reasonable cost of transport, and the facilities given by the German "Government operate against the (British) pottery manufacturers in "competition for the trade of the United States and Canada, and of "our Colonies generally." Whilst we have no evidence that rates for inland carriage of goods in Germany are generally lower than those prevailing in this country, when due allowance is made for the differ- ences between the services covered by the two sets of rates, there can, we think, be no doubt that the German export trade has been largely assisted and stimulated by the special low rates granted on the German railways in respect of goods for export — urates which, in the case of certain combined railway and shipping rates, are believed to have been quite exceptionally low. We are also disposed to think that there is some foundation for the beUef that the German railway authorities have, as a rule, shown themselves more ready to give special facihties to individual traders, and to have more regards for their individual circumstances, than has been the poUcy of the British railway companies. 23. It is evident also that there is a widespread behef amongst manufactiu-ers and traders generally that foreign goods are carried inland from British ports at lower rates than those charged for the carriage of British goods over similar distances, and that whatever theoretic arguments may be advanced in justification of such action by the British railways, it does in fact operate as an appreciable handicap to British manufactm-ers in meeting foreign competition. This was urged, for example, by the British Brush Manufactxu:ers' Association, and the British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association. In this connexion it was urged upon us by the repre- sentatives of the paper-making industry that railway companies should be required to divide up any through rates charged by them on imported goods, so that the actual rates chrged in respect of land carriage could be publicly known. It was stated that a suspicion existed that foreign imported goods are sometimes rated in a different classification to British goods of the same kind. 24. We desire to direct special attention to two suggestions put forward by the Association of the British Electrical and Allied JManufacturers' Association, namely: — (i) That the Board of Trade should, as soon as possible, call together a conference of representatives of shipowners, railway companies, and the manufactiu-ing industries, to discuss the whole question with a view to co-operation in removing the existing handicaps under which British industries labour when in competition with foreign producers; and (ii) That an impartial tribimal of the Government be set up to exercise the functions of a tribimal for adjusting grievances existing between railway and transport companies and traders, more particularly where it can be shown that the foreigner is benefiting at the expense of British industry. 25. With regard to this second suggestion we may observe that in the opinion of the witnesses whom we heard the Ra,ilway and Canals Commission is not a suitable body for the exercise of these functions, as there is no adequate representation of commercial War Documents. 691 interests and experience, and its procedure is both too slow and too costly. 26. We drew the attention of the witnesses to the fact that the elaborate investigation conducted by the Royal Commission on Railways is only in suspense owing to the war, and we urged upon them the desirability of making full representations to that body, and to furnish in support of their case the fullest possible details, instead of relying, as has not infrequently been the case, on quite general statements. 27. Reference was made by some of the witnesses to the advan- tages which German trade derives from the facilities for cheap carriage, especially of bulky goods, afforded by its elaborate river and canal system, and regret was expressed at the comparative inutility to which the British canals have been reduced by railway ownership, and at the failure of H.M. Government to take any action on the report of the Royal Commission on canals. 28. Attention was drawn by some of the witnesses to the handicap imposed on British manufacturers before the war by the fact that in some cases British shipping companies carried continental goods from a continental port to extra-European destinations at freights lower than, or as low as, those charged on the same goods from a British port, even though the continental goods were actually carried via such British port. 29. A representative of the paper-making industry drew attention to the advisabiUty of State action for the development and improve- ment of the main road system of the United Kingdom, in view of the increasing use of motor transport; but the powers and duties of the recently estabUshed Road Board seem to have been overlooked or underestimated in this respect. 30. (iv) Financial Assistance, such as Industrial Trust Companies, avA Conditions to be attached to Loans to Foreign Countries. — There was a general consensus of opinion among the witnesses who appeared before us that the German manufacturers receive much greater and rea,dier assistance from banks and financial houses than do their British competitors. In a number of cases it was suggested that German industry, and especially the export trade, is actually sub- sidised by the German Government, but apart from the special railway rates for export, to which reference has already been made, we have no evidence of this, and we are disposed to think that the belief has no other basis than the banking facilities already mentioned. Of the importance of these there can be no doubt. Thus it was pointed out to us by the representatives of the Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association that there have been carried out by German firms, in British Dominions and Colonies, many engineering works of considerable magnitude which could have been equally well undertaken by British firms if the latter could have received similar financial assistance. It was also stated that the attitude of British financiers towards honde industries is in direct contrast with that of German financiers, who mvariably stipulate that the plant and ciachinery for the xmdertakings they assist shall be of German niaQufacture. 692 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. 31. We recognise fully thai the conditions of German industry and its rapid growth in a couiiti^ not possessed of large accumulated financial resources have caused German manufacturers to be much more dependent on the provision of faciUties of the kind now in question than are their British competitors; that the principles of German banking differ widely from those which govern the poUcy of the British banks, and involve serious risk; and that the imposition of conditions as to foreign loans might exercise an adverse influence upon the position which London had held until the outbreak of the war as the chief loan market of the world, with the resultant con- siderable advantage to British trade as a whole. At the same time some witnesses appeared to think that there is a large body of British manufacturers to whom a well-ordered system of industrial banks would be of very appreciable assistance. 32. In this connexion our attention was drawn to one disadvan- tage of the recent development of the joint-stock banking system. It was suggested to ns that the old local proprietary banks were more inclined to give credit to local small manufacturers, with whose position they were intimately acquainted, than are the great combia- ations into which the local banks have generally been absorbed. The local manager is unable to take the risk which the local banker often took, and is indisposed to advise his principals to make any advances which even appear to carry with them any element of risk. We are of opinion that there is a good deal of truth in this view of the situation, and that the development of joint-stock banking has in some measiu'e restricted the financial faciUties of the smaller industrial enterprises. , 33. (v) The Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. — ^The response to our inquiries under this heading was practically unani- mous. It was the general opinion that the organisation by private enterprise of exhibitions for financial profit, including and encour- aging retail stalls, entertainments and side shows, is of no substantial benefit to traders; on the other hand, the highest appreciation was expressed of the British Industries Fair organised by the Board of Trade, and it was urged upon us that the Fair should be repeated and, if possible, made an annual institution. Emphasis was laid on the necessity of maintaining the Board of Trade control, and of stringently enforcing the rules as to exhibition by manufacturers only, and the exclusion of the general public. It was also suggested that the longest possible notice should be given, and the fullest possible information published in advance, so as to give over-sea buyers ample opportunity to attend. 34. The British Electrical and Alhed Manufacturers' Association represented that in their opinion the expenditure of Government money on British participation in recent intematit)nal exhibitions abroad has not greatly benefited British industry, since such exhibi- tions have generally been in countries which impose high import duties on British goods, and they recomjnended that consideration be given to the promotion of trade exhibitions in British Dominions and Colonies and in coimtries where the conditions are favourable to British enterprise. War Documents. 693 35. (vi) The Protection of British Trade Marks Abroad.— Under this heading we received a number of representations. The repre- sentative of the china and earthenware trade who appeared before us complained of the absence of Government protection of British trade mark abroad, being supported in this by the representative of the Birmingham Jewellers' Association, and also of the failure of the British Government to take any action to prevent the uses abroad of the Royal Coat of Arms. We are advised, however, that the experi- ence of the Board of Trade is that there is a tendency on the part of British traders to be reluctant to take active steps to defend their trade marks abroad, or even to take sufficient trouble in registering their trade marks, and that in many cases they appear to think that the British Government ought to protect them even when a proper civil remedy is afforded by the laws of the foreign country. As regards the use of the Royal Coat of Arms we are informed that the Board of Trade have constantly in recent years intervened to prevent the improper uses of this emblem, and have in numerous cases made representations in this regard to foreign Governments, and our atten- tion has been drawn to the fact that the countries signatory to the International Convention of Washington in 1911, agreed that the use of public armorial bearings, insignia, &c., unless properly author- ised, might be regarded as contrary to pubUc policy. 36. The Sheffield Cutlery Association recognised that the Gov- ernment could hardly take up the protection of the trade marks of individuals, but their representative was of opinion that if the Board of Trade would officially prosecute, or assist in the prosecution, in all cases where foreign goods are made up to pass as British, their action would be popular and beneficial. The Master Silversmiths' Associa- tion of Sheffield urged that action of this kind should be taken by the Government in respect of hall marks, which it is asserted are frequently imitated and appUed even to plated ware in the United States. 37. Suggestions as to international reciprocity in respect of trade marks law, and as to an international register of trade marks (substi- tutmg a single registration for the many now necessary) which were put forward in this connexion, have already been noted in respect of patents and the British trade mark law, and call for no further com- ment in this place. 38. It only remains for us to draw attention under this heading to the suggestion that H.M. Consular Officers might be directed to watch for, and report inunediately, any oases of the apparent infringe- ment of British trade marks, or attempts to pass off foreign made goods as British, and to endeavom- to ascertain the exact sources of such goods; the belief was expressed that by so doing they could materially assist in the suppression of a vddespread form of mifair competition. 39. (vii) General. — In addition to asking for observations and suggestions under the specific headings with which we have already dealt, we invited the representative firms and trade associations consulted by us to put forward any other proposals which they might deem expedient, having regard to the very definite object submitted ^ our terms of reference, namely, the measures to be taken to assist British manufacturers to maintain and extend, after the war, such 694 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. new developments of industry as they may have undertaken in consequence of present conditions. A nmnber of miscellaneous suggestions were made, and we propose to notice them briefly, before dealing with the principal representation, which was pressed on us from all sides. 40. One group of representations relate to the constitution of the Board of Trade, and to the organisation fbr the collection and dissemi- nation of commercial information. The suggestion for the establish- ment of a Ministry of Commerce, made to us by the witnesses who appeared on behalf of the Paper Makers' Association and the Electrical Trades' Association, is one which has been pressed on the attention of His Majesty's Government from time to time. It is due, we believe, to a feeling in trade circles that the great variety of duties which the Board of Trade has to discharge unavoidably prevent that concentra- tion of attention on commercial and trade matters which is desirable. The Electrical Trades' Association further urged that it should be a duty of the Ministry of Commerce not only to promote trade but "to champion its cause against any other Department which seeks to impose restrictive conditions." The witnesses who appeared on behalf of the Association took exception to the connexion of a Ministry concerned in the development of trade with a Department which issues "regulations as to public safety and all the numerous regulations "which emanate from the Board of Trade." 41. It was suggested to us that the system of Trade Commissioner- ships under the Board of Trade, which has proved so successful in the Self-Governing Dominions, should be extended to the principal foreign covmtries; and we heard a certain amount of criticism of the Consular Service. Whilst no doubt there has been justification in the past for some of the complaints as to the inattention of Consular Officers to commercial matters, and their inexperience in regard to them, and weak spots are still to be found in the existing organisation, we think that the general level of the Consular Service in this respect has risen appreciably in recent years. We are of opinion that more weight should be attached to commercial knowledge and experience in the appointment of Consular Officers, though we recognise that other considerations must be taken into accoimt; but in regard to both Trade Commissioners and Consular Officers we may point out that we are informed by the Board of Trade that numerous complaints are received from both classes of officials that British traders and their travelling representatives do ijot ^ake sufficient use of them, and that the officials are thereby deprived of the opportunities which they desire to have of obtaining at first hand practical information as to the particular ways in which they might be of service to British manufacturers and merchants. ^ 42. The Sheffield Cutlery Manufacturers' Association inform us that the English cutlery trade suffers greatly from the under- declaration of value of foreign goods exported to the United States and to the British Dominions and Colonies. They would welcome an arrangement \mder which they would pay the cost of any samples which Trade Commissioners or Consuls were able to obtain, if the samples were accompanied by particulars as to the names of the War Documents. 695 foreign firms exporting such goods, with a view to verification of the prices at which the goods were valued. , i , u 43. It was suggested to us also that representations should be made to the Dominion Governments with a view to securing (i) preferential treatment of British Commercial Travellers in respect of license fees, and (ii) a reduction of the duties, which in some cases are very heavy, levied on imported catalogues and trade circulars. 44. The Electrical Trades' Association urged that a Government inquiry should be instituted into the desirability of adopting decimal coinage and the metric system, both for this country and in the Domimons. The use of the metric system is, of course, already permissible; as to any Goverimient action beyond that we are aware that opinion is divided; and we content ourselves with recording the suggestions. 45. There are two other matters which should be mentioned before we leave this part of our Report. The first is the insufficient importance attached in this covmtry to technical training, in spite of the progress made in some directions, and the advantages which the manufacturers of Germany have derived from the more developed and systematic schemes in operation there. Thus we were informed that "one of the chief reasons for the progress made by the German " jewellery trade before the war was the German system of art and " technical education and apprenticeship. A system of enforced " apprenticeship would be good for this coimtry. In Birmingham it " is difficult to induce boys to attend art classes, ^ven if their fees are " paid and they are given time to attend the classfes in the afternoon; " and in the jewellery trade the apprenticeship system has broken " down altogether." Simijar suggestions as to the failure by employ- ers and employed alike to appreciate the full importance of technical training were made in other instances. We were glad to learn, however, that in the glass industry there are signs of a marked improvement in this respect. 46. The other matter to which we would direct attention is the attraction which Contiuental buying exercises upon British distribut- mg houses. The periodical visit to the Continent, combining a business tour with a pleasant hoUday, and the entertainment provided by German manufacturers, presents strong attractions to the repre- sentatives of British distributiag firms, and is not likely to be given up by them unless there are very strong motives for such action. The cumulative effect of this particular consideration on a large number of firms in leading them to prefer to deal with Continental makers, even when British firms are offering goods of similar quality at competitive prices is, we think, very considerable. 47. No doubt continental buying by British distributing hcpses has been stimulated also in considerable measure by the wider variety and range of choice offered, especially in such branches of manufacture as fancy leather goods, toys, glassware, &c. 48. (viii) Tariff Protection. — In the preceding paragraphs we have passed in review all the more important representations which have been made to us, with one exception; but we are bound to say that, so far as our particular inquiry has gone, though some amount of weight has been attached to the various proposals put forward under 696 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. the preceding heads, they were all regarded as of secondary importance in comparison with one question, and that is the possibility or otherwise of tariff protection after the cessation of the war. Practi- cally all the representative firms and associations consulted by us asked for a measure of protection. The reasons advanced in support of these requests are simmiarised in the following paragraphs. 49. There is a general fear that, immediately after the war, this country will be flooded with German and Austro-Hungarian goods, sold at almost any price, and that the competition in price which was going on before the war will be accentuated, with resultant serious difficulty to all manufacturers of goods of kinds exposed to this competition, and positive disaster to those manufacturers who have been encouraged to extend their operations, or engage in new branches of industry, with a view to capturing trade hitherto carried on by enemy countries. 50. The causes of the abiUty of German firms in the past to imdersell their British competitors, on which most emphasis has been laid in the representations made to us, are: — (o) The low railway rates charged in Germany on goods for export, and other transport advantages. As an illustration of this, our attention was drawn to the fact that prior to the war German manufacturers on the Rhine could obtain their supplies of clay from Dorset, Devon, and Cornwall at a cost of carriage 3s. per ton less than the cost at which the same clays from the same ports, could be placed at the factories in the Potteries. (&) The industrial combinations in Germany, which, with a large home market secured to them by the tariff, were able to produce on a large scale and to dispose of their suprlus product abroad at very low prices. The natiu-e and extent of these German combinations, and the character of their operations, is too well known for any description of them to be necessary in this place; but we would direct attention to the account given in the "Board of Trade Journal" of the 18th November, 1915, of recent discussions in Germany as to the reorgani- zation of the iron and steel industry, as an indication that the same poUcy is hkely to be pursued with even greater vigoiu: in the future, (c) The low rates of wages prevailing in certain industries in Germany. The effect of low wages in assisting German competition was particularly referred to in the cases of china and earthenware, glass- ware, and toy-making (all of which branches of production making use of much child labour and domestic industry — the toy-making industry is, of course, largely a supplementary occupation). The price-competition due to low wages is also stated to be felt in the glass industry from France, Belgium, and Austria; in the paper-making industry from Italy and Japan; and in the brush-making industry also from Japan. On the other hand, we are bound to point out that in some cases it was admitted that lower wages are not the cause of the lower prices at which German goods are offered. Thus we were informed as regards paper-making that "the labour bill, for the same class of output, is much the same in Germany as in Bury"; that in the War Documents 697 electrical industries "in 1913 hours of labour were slightly longer in "Germany than in England, wages were about the same in the two "countries, and the standard of labour was better in Germany" ; and that as regards printing, "German workshop organization is better "than ours. Longer hours are worked by Germans than by British "workmen, and the Germans pay more attention than the latter to "their work. Wages are sUghtly lower in Germany than in England." 51. The conviction that the prices at which German goods will be offered in the British and neutral markets after the war will be even lower than the pre-war quotations is based on two assumptions — first, that in some branches of industry at least Germany has been accumulating large stocks during the war, and secondlyj that imme- diately upon the conclusion of peace she will make every effort to recover her position in the world's markets, and to crush nascent competition, and that in carrying out that poUcy cheapness will be a potent weapon. Whatever may be the truth as to the accimiulation of stocks, we do not think the validity of this second assumption is open to doubt. It was suggested to us by the representatives of the stationery trade that the attraction of cheapness will be such as to weaken appreciably in the case of many buyers even in this coimtry the prejudice created by the war against things German and Austrian, though this suggestion conflicts somewhat with the view frequently expressed, and referred to in a previous paragraph of this Report, that the marking "Made in Germany" and "Made in Austria" would deter many buyers. 52. The representatives of tue stationery, silversmiths', fancy leather goods, mechanical and other toys, glass and magneto industries all urged upon us that many manufacturers, in putting down plant andJuding capital for lines of manufacture which hitherto had been mainly or entirely German or Austrian, either to supply the home deficiencies caused by the cutting-off of the foreign supplies or to endeavour to supplant German trade abroad, were re^asonably entitled to expect that the Government would safeguard them from the effects of unrestricted foreign (especially German and Austrian) competition after the war, especially as their action had been undertaken with direct Government encouragement, and in some instances (notably chemical glassware and magnetos) had been of substantial service in the conduct of the war. 53. In this connexion we desire to direct special attention to the case of magnetos. Briefly, the facts are that prior to the outbreak of the war the trade in magnetos, which are of great importance for all forms of motor-cars and aircraft as well as for other purposes, was vbtually monopoUzed by the Bosch Company of Stuttgart, a very powerful organization with great resources. The result was that at the sudden commencement of the war there were no manufacturers in this country where the normal demand was about 5,000 magnetos per week; since then it has substantially increased, especially for military and naval purposes. A number of British firms took up the manu- facture, and with the assistance of Sheffield in respect of the production of magnet steel, they have succeeded in making magnetos wh5ch have passed the Government tests and are asserted to be as good as the 4450—11* 698 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Bosch products. The firms are receiving large Government contracts, and there seems to be no doubt that in this instance (which is specially important as being one of a "key" industry, a considerable British manufacture oould be built up which inter alia would guard against ^ repetition of the serious difficulties caused in the early stages of the war by our dependence on foreign supplies. The one obstacle is the reluctance of the firms concerned to commit themsfelves to further capital outlay, and the unwillingness of outside capital to come to their assistance, unless assured of some security against the strenuous efforts which the powerful Bosch concern will undoubtedly make after the war to break down the new British enterprise. 54. The representatives of this industry asked that Government assistance might be afforded them in the shape of (1) an undertaking that the Government Departments concerned in motor transport and the air services would undertake to make use only of British magnetos made (so far as practicable) only of British parts — such undertaking to be for a term of years after the conclusion of the war; and (2) the extension to all magnetos of the import duty of 33^ per cent, imposed upon magnetos imported as parts of motor cars. We reported to the President of the Board of Trade that, in view of the importance of the manufactm-e of magnetos for mihtary and naval purposes, its position as a "key industry," the efforts which the manufactm-ers have made, and the undoubtedly severe competition from the powerful Bosch interests which they will have to encounter after the war, we were unanimously of opinion that Government assistance might be given in the two forms desired by the industry. 55, The amount of the tariff duties which it was suggested should be imposed naturally varied with the different branches of industry. The following statement siunmarises the proposals made (the rates given are, however, nothing more than approximate indications of the amoimt of protection which the witnesses thought necessary in each case) : — Paper manufacturers - - 15 per cent, ad valorem . Printed matter _ _ _ 331 „ „ Silversmiths' wares - - - 15 „ „ Cutlery 10-20 „ „ Fancy leather goods - - 33^ „ „ Glassware: Table glass and Total prohibition of German and Lighting glass Austrian glass for a period of three or five years; then 33| ad valorem. „ Optical and 25-30 percent ad valorem for five chemical glass years. „ Common glass 10-15 per cent ad valorem. wares. „ Glass bottles - 5 per cent ad valorem. China and earthenware - 20 per cent ad valorem (with a higher rate on fancy wares). Toys, other than mechanical 25-30 per cent ad valorem. Toys, mechanical - - "An absolutely prohibitive rate," Brushes and brushware - 15 per cent ad valorem. Magnetos _ _ _ 331 per cent ad valorem. War Documents. 699 In the case of Jewellery, no specific indication was given as to the amount of tariff protection desired. The representative of the Stationery Trade stated that "it would be a very difficult matter for "us to make suggestions on the tariff— we are widely divergent in "our manufactures." .-, , , The following Resolution, recently passed by the Council of the British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association, has been communicated to us: — Resolved, that it is the considered opinion of the Council of this Associq,tion that the Government should, as soon as possible, proceed to formulate a tariff scheme, embodjdng — (1) An Imperial Customs Union between Great Britain and her overseas Colonies, Dominions and Dependencies, with a view to the adoption at some later period of free trade within the British Empire. (2) A tariff on all goods imported into this country which are such as can be efficiently and economically manu- factm-ed in British workshops. (3) That a substantial preference should be given to all goods, whether manufactured or otherwise, imported from any portion of our overseas Empire. (4) That a smaller preference than the foregoing be given to those countries which are now alUed with us in defending the right of national existence against the dominating influence of the Central European Powers. (5) That such preference as may be possible, having in view the balance of trade between nations, be given to neutral countries. (6) That the duty imposed on goods of Austrian and German manufacture should be of a highly protective character, not only in Great Britain, but also in the overseas parts of the Empire. 56. Apart from the proposals indicated in the preceding para^ graph for the imposition of import duties on foreign goods, some other sug^gtions were put before us for the protection of British manufactui'&rfi in other ways. These are: — (a) The confiscation of, or imposition of a substantial duty on, imported goods unaccompanied by a British Consular certificate to the effect that the goods are not invoiced to this country at a lower price than would be obtained for them in the domestic market of the country of manu- facture (i.e., "anti-dumping" legislation.) (6) Restriction of British Government contracts to British goods, or a preference to such goods in respect of price. The reasonableness of this claim was strongly urged upon us by representatives of the new magneto industry, and also in the case of table glassware. In this connexion we were informed that at the instance of the British Science Guild a large number of educational institutions and authorities have already undertaken not to purchase any chemical glassware of foreign manufacture for a period of three years after 4450— llf* 700 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. the war, provided that an adequate supply of British manufacture is forthcoming. (c) That in respect of the raising of loans or the levying of taxes by municipaUties or public bodies for carrying out works of public utiUty, it should be a condition imposed by the Central Government that preference be given to British manufacturers. Such preference migh,t, it was suggested, be limited to 10 per cent., as a check upon trade combines. 57. In the preceding paragraphs we have endeavoured to siun- marize the principal representations made to us in the course of the inquiry entrusted to us. We are fully conscious of the limited range of that inquiry, and that the particular branches of industry with which we have been concerned cannot well be singled out for special Government action; our investigations have been devoted only to a comparatively small portion of the immense field of British industry, and the conclusions at which we have arrived might consequently be modified in some respects were the range of inquiry to be extended. Subject to this consideration we now beg to submit the following definite recommendations. RECOMMENDATIONS. 1. Scientific Industrial Research and Training. — (a) Larger funds should be placed at the disposal of the new Conunittee of the Privy Council, and also of the Board of Education, for the promotion of scientific and industrial research and trading. (6) The Universities should be encouraged to maintaia and extend research work devoted to the needs of the main industry or industries located in their respective districts; and the manufacturers engaged in those industries should be encouraged to co-operate with the Universities in such work either through their existing Trade Associations or through Associations specially formed for the purpose. Such Associations should bring to the knowledge of the Universities the difiiculties and needs of the industries, and give financial and other assistance in addition to that afforded by the State. In the case of non-locaUzed industries. Trade Associations should be advised to seek, in respect of centres for research, the guidance of the Advisory Council of the Committee of Privy Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. (c) An authoritative record of consultant scientists, chemists, a,nd engineers, and of persons engaged in industrial research, should be estabUshed and maintained by some suitable Government Depart- ment, for the use of manufacturers only. 2. Copyright. — ^The United Kingdom copyright law should be brought into line with that of the United States. 3. Patents.— (a) The efforts which have been made to secure Uniformity of Patent Law throughout the Empire should be continued. (6) The provisions of the law as to the compulsory working of patents in the United Kingdom should be more rigorously enforced, and inspectors should be appointed to seciu-e that such working is complete and not (as has frequently been the case) only partial. War Documents. 701 (c) The fullest possible information as to enemy patents should be given to British firms during the war, and every practicable assist- ance for their use. 4. Trade Marks.— (a) All German and Austrian goods imported into the United Kingdom should be required to be marked with an indelible mark "Made in Germany" or "Made in Austria-Hungary," and goods imported from other foreign countries should be similarly marked either with the country of origin or with the words "Foreign Made" or "Not British." Such marking should be in all cases on the actual gdods and not merely on the package. (6) Alien firms and alien-owned companies should be prohibited from registering in the United Kingdom trade marks oontaining English words. (c) The Government of India should be urged to reconsider the question of the establishment of trade marks registration in India. (d) As regards the entry into this country of goods bearing in- fringing trade marks, thepe seems nothing to complain of in the Customs practice set out in paragraph 20 of this Report, as a public Department cannot be called upon to undertake alctions for the protection of private rights, and we endorse it, but there is an addi- tional requirement which should be put in force, viziw — As a part of the information to the firm affected by the infriuge- ment, there should be supplied, as a matter of course, the names of the consignor and consignee, which have hitherto been withheld on the ground that the Customs have no power to give the required information, which is in many cases actually in their possession. In cases where shippers, or brokers, are alone concerned in the importation, the Customs should be enabled tb require ftdl information as to the original consignor, and the actual consignee, as a condition of entry of the goods, and this should be effected by legislation, or regulation, as may be foimd necessary. In support of this view it is only necessary to point out that the first step in an action for infriugement is to ascertain the identity of the infringer, and that this should be withheld by a British Depart- ment, when in its possession, is wrong as a question of policy, and really amounts to a screening of the offendmg foreigner, and the confederate recipient in this country, who is often a mere agent of the consignor, occupying a small office. The Customs should, there- fore, in our opinion, be furnished with the necessary powers and required to use them when granted. 5. Trans-port Facilities. — (o) An impartial tribunal should be set up to Secure that no preference is accorded to traders in other countries by British shipping companies or shipowners, or by home railways; that is, that rates charged by British shipping companies, shipowners and railways to British traders shall in no case be higher under similar conditions than those charged to traders operating from another country, the principle adopted being that equality^ pay- ment entitles traders to equality of services. {h) A definite policy for the improvement and extension of the canal system of the United Kingdom should be formulated, with a 702 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. view to its being capried out so soon as the national finances shall permit. (c) Shipping companies should be prohibited from charging higher rate^ of freight from British ports than from any North European ports. 6. Financial Assistance. — (a) The Joint Stock Banks should be invited by His Majesty's Government, so soon as opportimity offers, to icocsider the possibility of affording a greater measure of assist- ance to British industrial enterprise. (6) All Government Departments, Local Authorities and Statu- tory Bodies entrusted with the control of moneys raised by taxes or rates, should be under legal obUgation to purchase, so far as possible, only goods produced within the British Empire. To meet exceptional cases, the Board of Trade might be em- powered to grant licences to Pubhc Bodies for the purchase of foreign goods where special circumstances, including, for example, the existence of a combine or "trust," can be proved. (c) British financial houses concerned in the issue of foreign loans in the United Kingdom, should be urged to endeavour to secure that preferential treatment be accorded to British contractors and manufacturers in respect of the pubhc works to be carried out by means of such loans. 7. Trade Exhibitions. — The following broad principles should be adopted in respect of future Trade Exhibitions: — (a) Trade Exhibitions should be held under the control of the Board of Trade. (6) Exhibitions should be exhibitions of manufacturer's wares for. traders, and should not be organized with a view to attracting the general public. (c) Exhibitions should not be too general in scope, but should be for a limited nmnber of branches of industry at a time, according to the importance and dimensions of each particular industry in this country. (d) At least one year's notice of the intention to hold any par- ticular exhibition should be given to manufacturers. 8. Protection of British Trade Marks Abroad. — His Majesty's Consular Oflficers should be directed, so far as practicable, to watch for, and report urunediately with the fullest details obtainable, cases of the apparent infringement of British trade marks, or attempts to pass off foreign-made goods as British. 9. Establishment of a Ministry of Commerce. — His Majesty's Government should be urged to consider anew the advisability of estabhshing a separate Ministry charged solely with the safeguarding and extension of British industry and trade, and freed from the regulative duties in respect of Railways, Shipping and Harbours, and the duties in respect of Labour, which at present devolve upon the Board of Trade. 10. Extension of the System of Trade Commissioners. — ^The appoint- ment of Trade Commissioners, responsible, and reporting directly, to the Board of Trade, should be extended to the principal foreign coimtries. War Documents, 703 11. The Consular Service. — The organization of the Consular Service should be dealt with as soon as possible after the copapletion of the Report of the Royal Commission on the Civil Service, with a view to the increase of its commercial utility. 12. Undervaluation of Foreign Imports. — Efforts should be made, by the co-operation of the Consular Officers and the Trade Com- missioners suggested in Recq(mmendation 10, with representative British Chambers of Commerce and Trade Associations, to check the undervaluation of goods which is believed to be widely practised by some non-British importers into countries having tariffs on an ad valorem basis. 13. Commercial Traiellers in British Dominions. — Representa- tions should be made to the Government of the Self-Goveming Dominions and of the Colonies with a view to the preferential treat- ment of British commercial travellers in respect of Ucence fees. 14. Trade Catalogues. — Representations should be made to the Governments of such British Possessions as levy import duties on imported catalogues and trade circulars, with a view to the sub- stantial reduction of such duties in respect of the catalogues and circulars of British manufacturers. 15. Tariff Protection. — ^We are of opinion that where the national supply of certain manufactured articles, which are of vital import- ance to the national safety, or 'are essential to other industries, has fallen into the hands of manufacturers and traders outside this country, British manufacturers ready to undertake the manufacture of such articles in this country should be afforded sufficient tariff protection to enable them to maintain such production after the war. With reference to the strongly-expressed opinion of many of J;he witnesses that the enactment of protective duties on the industries other than those referred to in the preceding paragraph, which have formed the subject of our inquiry, is essential to their maintenance, we wish to report that in view of the following considerations: — (o) that there exists a strong desire to respond to the feeling in our Dpminions in favour of an Imperial preference in trade, and that there is also a strong desire to arrange preferential trading with those who are our AlHes in the present war, and (6) that the present high direct taxation tends to raise the rate of interest on money, and cheap and abundant capital for the employment of their labour is of the greatest importance to the working classes, it will be necessary to impose some widely spread import duties, and we are therefore prepared to recommend that a larger proportion of the Revenue should be raised by reasonable import duties. We are of opinion that such import duties would go a long way towards satisfying the requests for special protective treatment for the industries which we have had under consideration. We would only add that in view of the threatened dumping of stocks which may be accumulated in enemy countries, the Govern- ment should take such steps as would prevent the position of indus- tries, likely to be affected, being endangered after the war or during the period required for a wider consideration of the whole question. 704 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. In conclusion we desire to express our deep indebtedness to our Secretary, Mr. Percy Ashley, for his valuable assistance during this enquiry, and our sincere appreciation of his very able services. We also desire to record our sense of the advantages which we derived from the presence at owe meetings of Mr. T. Worthington, the Director of the Commercial Intelligence Branch of the Board of Trade, and of Mr. F. W. Hodges, of the Patent Office. We have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servants, ALGERNON F. FIRTH, A. J. HOBSON, STANLEY MACHIN, E. PARKES, ALBERT SPICER.* Percy Ashley, Secretary. Reservation by the Right Hon. Sir Albert Spicer, M.P. With reference to the desire of many of the witnesses for the immediate enactment of protective duties on behalf of the industries considered I desire to say: — (1) The industries represented do not include many of the greatest industries in the coimtry. In supporting such demands as have been made for protective duties the Sub-Committee would be recommending the institution of a piecemeal tariff for subsidiary industries which would have many ramifications that cannot be foreseen. All parties are agreed that if the British Government adopted a tariff poUcy, that poUcy must be settled on broad scientific lines, after a full investigation covering the whole field of British industry. (2) The Sub-Committee have already made recommenda- tions as to: — A. The preferential purchase by the Government and by all pubUc bodies of goods of British manufacture. B. The imposition of import duties in respect of all articles, the manufacture of which in this country may be held to be of vital importance for the national safety, and of which Magnetos and Optical Glasses are merely instances of what may hereafter be an enlarged list. C. The marking of all articles imported from enemy countries, in contrast with the present practice of allowing, in many cases, the marking of the package only. It is also recommended that, in view of the threatened dumping of stocks connected with the industries under review, which may be accumulated in enemy coimtries, the Government should take steps to prevent the position of these industries being endangered until the whole question has been considered. 'Subject to the reservation annexed. War Documents. 705 In view of these recommendations, which are all protective in effect, and of the fact that during the continuance of the war manu- facturers are automatically protected and that foi: some years after the war protection, equivalent to import duties, is Ukely to be afforded by the prejudice against German and Austrian goods, I feel that the consideration of a tariff for these special industries should wait until after the war, imless it can be imdertaken earUer, when the whole issue can be again considered in the light of what, I hope, will be an agreed policy with our Dominions overseas an'd our present Allies.

StJMMARIES OE THE EVIDENCE TAKEN BY A SuB-CoMMITTEB OF THE Advisory Committee to the Board op Trade on Commercial Intelligence in the course of their Enquiry WITH Respect to Measures for Securing the Position, After the War, of Certain Branches of British Industry. Introductory Note. In January last the Board of Trade pubUshed, as a Parliamentary Return, a Report, which had been prepared by a Sub-Committee of their Advisory Committee on Commercial IntelUgemce, with respect to measures for securiag the position, after the war, of certain branches of British industry. To the Report, as presented to the Committee at their meeting on the 11th January 1916, the Sub-Committee appended two state- ments, which they had caused to be prepared, the one summarising the written memoranda and oral evidence furnished to them in respect of each particular branch of trade covered by their inquiry, and the other summarising under a number of heads the suggestions made to them as to the various directions in which Government action for the assistance of the trades concerned might usefully be taken. These two statements were not pubUshed with the Report for the reason that their submission to the various witnesses (who had furnished their evidence to the Sub-Committee confidentially) would War Documents. 707 necessarily have involved considerable delay in the publication of the Report, a delay which it was desired to avoid. In accordance, however, with a decision taken at the meeting of the Advisory Committee held on the 11th April, the summaries have now been submitted to the various witnesses, and their consent obtained to publication, subject only to a small number of slight amendments being made therein. The two statements are accordingly printed in the present Return, substantially in their original form, with a view to affording an indication of the principal points of the evidence on which the Sub-Committee based the recommenda;tions contained in their Report. It should be mentioned that the evidence was taken by the Sub-Committee during the last four months of 1915. H. FOUNTAIN. BoAKD OF Trade, Commercial Department, 14th June, 1916. PART I. Summaries of the Written Statements and Oral Evidence Furnished in Respect of each Branch of Trade. (i) — Brushes. Memoranda were furnished by Mr. T. Marson Till, Secretary, the British Brush Manufacturers' Association, 21, Bucklersbmy, E.G., and by Mr. A. W. Saunders of the Co-operative Wholesale Soeiety, limited, Belleisle Road, Himslet, Leeds. Evidence was given before the Sub-Committee by Mr. E. N. Kent, President of the Association; Mr. C. H. Watkms; Mr. E. H. Matthew; and Mr. Till. Scientific Research- Mr. Saunders. — ^Much could be done in this country in regard to timber. At the present time the trade is suffering very severely from a shortage of this material. Practically all timber, such as birch, alder, spruce, &c. should be produced in our marshy districts; more attention should be given to hard woods (beech, ash, oak, sycamore, &c.), which should not be allowed to decay, simply for purposes of decoration, after they have reached maturity. The Association have nothing to submit with regard to scientific research. [Questioned by the Chairman on the statement made oy Mr. Saunders regarding a shortage of timber, Mr. Watkins said: 708 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. " We (Messrs. Hamilton & Co. (London,) Ltd., Brush Manufacturers, "London, E.G.), make most of our own handles and we have no " difficulty in getting timber if we only like to pay for it. Of course "we have to buy a lot in America now the Finland supplies are "shut off; but for the British trade I should say that, in normal "conditions, as existing prior to the war, the supply of timber is not a trouble, and is not hkely to be." Mr. Matthew agrees, but states that if there is any restriction of imports of foreign timber either by total or partial prohibition or by a tariff, the Government should take steps in regard to arboriculture.] Amendment of existing Law. The Association's witnesses advocated the imposition of a permanent import duty of 15 per cent, on all foreign-made goods. {The general opinion of the Bnts^ Trade, taken svbsequent to the meeting of the witnesses with the Sub-Committee, was however, that a duty of 33| per cent, would be the minimum likely to be of any use. A stamp showing the country of origin should be impressed in legible letters on all foreign-made goods, not only upon the boxes and labels, but upon each artiale. Brushes made in the German Empire should be stamped "Made in Germany," and expressions such as "Made in Bavaria" or "Made in Saxony" should not be allowed to be used. Prosecution, in cases of infringement of the Merchandise Marks Acts, should be undertaken by the Government, and not left to individuals: the expenses of a prosecution amount to 701. or 80Z. and only three guineas costs are allowed, with perhaps a ten-guinea fine. The Board of Trade are not very willing to move unless they have a cast-iron case, and in practice you never get a cast-iron case, so that they never do anythmg. There are many provisions of the Merchandise Marks Acts that can be ignored with impunity, because the Government do not move actively enough. Mr. Saunders. — Every brush manufactured in Germany or Austria-Hungary should bear a stamp of its origin — the branding of packing cases and cards should not be deemed sufficient. Improvement of Transport Facilities. The Association. — ^An investigation should be instituted of the preferential rates given by our railways to imported foreign goods. Financial Assistance, &c. The Association. — Financial assistance through individual trust companies is not considered desirable unless it goes so far as financing a scheme for the benefit of the whole brush trade of England. It should be stipulated that a certain proportion of loans to foreign countries should be spent in this country. Proceeds of local loans should also be spent here. The War Office have bought millions of brushes from abroad. Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions The Association. — These are already sufficiently organized by the trade. / War Documents. 709 Protection of British Trade Marks Abroad. The Association. — It would be an advantage if British Consuls were British men in all cases. General. . , ,, , j The Association. — Government committees should be composed of practical business men, personally conversant with commercial affairs. The only solution of the difficulties arising from the com- petition with Germany and AustriarHungary is the imposition of import duties on goods from those countries. Import duties would also assist the brush manufacturers to maintain developments imder- taken in consequence of present conditions, and the knowledge that such protection would be afiforded after the war would encourage them to do more than they are at present justified in doing to develop that section of the trade previously held by Germany and Austria. Mr. Kent thinks that, generally speaking, there were more people employed ui brush making in the United Kngdom in July, 1914, than 20 years previously. If employers were given greater freedom, and trade unions were more reasonable as regards subdivision and organ- ization of labour and introduction of machinery, a great deal could be done in the brush triade in this country Mr. Saunder^s. — During the last twenty ypars the trade has undergone a complete change. Continental brush makers, well -sup- ported by their governments, having adopted machinary. Hence Germany and Austria have captured the EngUsh and Colonial markets. Many manufacturers in Birmingham, London, etc., Who, 20 years ago, employed from 20 to 30 hands in the drawn brush trade now employ one or two only, and in some cases none. Many makers have been kept from adopting machinery owing to War Office and Admira,lty contracts having for a long period excluded machine-made goods. Well-organized central factories, with large plants of modern machinery, can compete with continental manufacturers, but small makers cannot. If the latter would take up responsibility in central factories, as is done at Nuremburg, there would be a great future for the brush trade in this country and her Colonies. Trading in piassava from the West Coast of Africa, and palmyra fibre from Ceylon, should be fostered here in preference to Hamburg. Mr. Matthew. — ^Piassava (palm fibre) comes very largely from Liberia. That country was originally developed by Enghsh firms and an Enghsh bank. A year or two ago the Woermann Line (German) went there and made arrangements for securing the output of the whole country for German importers. For about a year before the outbreak of the war all the fibre was sent to Hamburg, and British firms had to buy there. The price to British brush- makers consequently rose by about one hundred p^ cent. Since tbe war the fibre has again been brought to Liverpool and there is an opportunity for British traders to get control again. In order, however, to take proper advantage of this opportunity, united action would be required on the part of the British brush trade, and it is diflScult to get British manufacturers to see the advantage of cohesion. The bristle market was gradually being concentrated in Leipzig. 710 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. The Germans bought the bristles from Russia, financed the Russian dressers, and sent the stock to Leipzig. Mr. Matthew thinks that the shortage of the Ceylon palm fibre is principally due to the substitution of rubber and tea production . for fibre production. (2) — China and Earthenware {other than Building and Drainage Earthenware). A memorandum was furnished by Mr. R. Shenton, of Messrs. Wedgwood & Co., Ltd., Tunstall. Evidence was also given by Mr. Shenton before the Sub-Com- mittee. Scientific Research. — Sound scientific research would very materially benefit the Staffordshire Potteries. Good work is being done by the Pottery College at Stoke-on-Trent, but is restricted by lack of funds. Local manufacturers, convinced of the necessity of research work in various directions, particularly in that of ascertaining the composition of German and Austrian porcelain, have already asked for a Govern- ment grant, more especially for the purpose of erecting an experimental factory. Immense quantwies of transparent porcelain are exported from Germany alone, and great advantage would accrue to the Staffordshire district if this type of goods could be produced there. Amendment of existing Law. — It would be a great advantage if, after the war, German manufacturers were compelled to mark each article, under the glaze, with tke words " Made in Germany." Improvement of Transport Facilities. — German potters have been ^eatly assisted by their Government-subsidised rates of carriage. Cheap and rapid transport is of the greatest importance, and until something is done to give maniifacturers cheap rates, and prompt forwarding of goods, we shall be at a disadvantage in competing with Germany for the trade of the world. German manufacturers get lower rates on goods for export than on goods for internal use. Canal freights are higher here than in Germany. < Financial Assistance, &c. — Capital and credit are granted to German manufacturers by German banks under Government control, more freely than they are granted to English manufacturers by EngUsh banks, expeciaUy now that the old-fashioned banks in pro- vincial towns are disappearing. Hence the German manufacturer is in a better position than his English competitor to develop his business and to give long credit to his customers. When loans are issued to foreign countries care should be taken to prevent the money being applied to objects detrimental to British trade. Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. — Local fairs held for two consecutive years, and the Board of Trade fair, have helped the trade of the district very materially. It would not be diflBcult to organize fairs for the whole of the kingdom that would rival or even War Documents. 711 surpass those held in Leipzig. London is the proper place for holding the fair; no great importance is now attached to the local ones. Protection of British Trade Marks Abroad. — The pottery industry- would benefit by increased protection of trade marks. British trade marks are looked upon abroad as guarantees of excellence of quality. When, as frequently happens, these marks are copied by German manufacturers, inferior goods are foisted on the buyers, who thus form an erroneous conception of the quality of British goods. German trade consequently benefits at the expense of English trade. Our consuls' coiild, by making use of their opportunities for observation and inquiry, materially assist in stamping out this unfair competition. General. — More care might with advantage be exercised by Patent Office examiners to ascertain whether a pattern or shape offered for registration had been "anticipated." Siuce the outbreak of the war pottery manufacturers have spent large sums of money in adding new plant and adapting their conditions to the capture of enemy trade. The money so spent will be wasted if, after the war, the unrestricted importation of German goods continues. In Germany the factories are not, as here, crowded in populous districts, but are situated in rural localities where the costs of building, rates, water supply, fuel, etc., are very low, and water power is often available. Moreover, in Germany in winter it is possible to make use of surplus labour employed during the summer in agriculture. Furthermore, the German manufacturer is allowed by his Government to avail himself of home and child labour. The British Government cannot change these conditions, but they can, by suitable action, neutralise to a great extent the effects. German pottery makers usually have three prices — the highest for the domestic trade, the next for those export markets where a reasonable price can be obtained, and the lowest for those outside markets where keen competition is met. If, after the war, this country and its dependencies are not again to be deluged by cheap German goods, something must be done to render less formidable the conditions operating against us. The most efficient method would be the imposition of a tariff. Failing this, the following plan is suggested: each consignment of goods from Germany and Austria to this country should be accompanied by a declaration by the manufacturer of the goods, or his agent, to the effect that they are not sold at a lower price than would be obtained for them in the domestic market. This declaration should be sworn before a British consul of British nationality. The consul should verify the declaration by reference to the manufacturer's books, and any attempt to evade the conditions imposed should be punished by confiscation of the goods. In Germany wages in the pottery trade are lower by about 25 per cent than here, and hours of labour are longer. Reference is made to the use, in the United Kingdom, of foreign china and earthenware in hotels having an Austrian or German manager; and also to the circumstance that British firms nave been obliged to discontinue using the Royal coat-of-arms as a trade mark, while their foreign competitors are able to go on using it. 712 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. (3) — Building and Drainage Earthenware. A memorandum was furnished by Mr. J, Johnston Green, Secre- tary to the Potters' Asseciation, Liverpool Road, Southport. Scientific Research. — ^We can compete with any country so far as quaUty goes. Amendment of existing Law. — After the war there will, no doubt, be preferential treatment of British goods in allied countries. It will then be necessary to protect the mark "Made in England" from infringement. Goods which are wrongly marked, or which infringe patents, trade marks, etc., should be confiscated at the port of entry. Improvement of Transport Facilities. — Cost of carriage is a most important element, the goods in this trade being of low value in relation to weight. A system such as the German bounty system would enable British manufactm-ers to compete in markets at present closed to them Financial Assistance, etc. — A small subsidy would finance com- panies whose business it would be to sell goods for groups of manu- facturers. Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. — ^Except under special conditions, exhibitions do not pay the manufacturer. A trade fair, i.e., an exhibition confined to one trade, is another thing, as it attracts buyers interested in that particular trade. Trade fairs are especially of service if they can be moved from centre to centre without much cost. General. — In the export trade, calling on buyers is the only way to build up trade. United action, with travellers representing a trade group, and, if possible, sample exhibits, would capture more business than any other method. (4)— Cutlery. Memoranda were furnished by Mr. N. H. Deakin, Acting-Secre- tary to the Shefiield Cutlery Manufactiu-ers' Association, and by Mr. G. H. Street, of Messrs. J. McClory and Son, Limited, Sheffield. Evidence was given before the Sub-Committee by Mr. 'Walter Tyzack, Vice-President of the Association. Scientific Research. The Association. — It is not thought necessary to ask for any •special assistance from the Government other than liberal assistance to the Sheffield University. Mr. Street gives the following illustrations of the success attending scientific research in Germany: — Some time ago, Sheffield largely used "dyed stag." A German, wishing to ascertain the process, sent a sample to Leipzig, where experi- ments were made, the method discovered and improved upon, and the result given to Solingen manufiacturers. Sheffield now buys "dyed stag" from Germany. War Documents. 713 In Sheffield, blades are made, .then hardened, then tempered down. In Germany scientists have eliminated a process by making a steel that will only harden to the point required. Amendment of existing Law. The Association. — Manufacturers are anxious to have relief from certain German patent rights and applications for patents, which stand in the way of the introduction of machinery for grinding cutlery. This machinery is especially necessary at the present time, owing to shortage of labom-. After the war, too, there will probably be a great market for English manufacturers in Rusfeia, but the masses there cannot afford high prices. Hence a class of machine-made goods should be produced for sale at moderate prices. {On this point regarding patent rights some suggestions tending to a solution of the difficulty were made to Mr. Tyzack by Mr. Martirt, of the Patefit Office, who was present at the meeting of the Sub-Committee.) Mr. Street refers to evasion of the Merchandise Marks Acts by marking parcels only "Made in Germany," and not the articles. Improvement of Transport Facilities. The Association. — Owing to the high value of Sheffield cutlery in proportion to railway and freight charges, the ti'ade is not much interested. It is, however, a matter of resentment to them that in some cases EngUsh shipping rings charge higher rates from English ports than from foreign countries. Mr. Street complains of preferential treatment of foreign goods by British railway companies. Financial Assistance, etc. The Association do not think that any material assistance could be given to the trade by the alteration of the banking system, or by imposing terms on the issue of foreign loans. Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. The Association. — The Board of Trade Exhibition was a great success, but it was on too small a scale. It should be repeated aimually or biemiially. Only real manufacturers should be allowed to exhibit, and the pubUc should not be admitted. The exhibition should remain open for at least 14 days. June or July would probably be the most favourable time. Mr. Sfreet. — Trade Fairs should be managed and controlled by the Board of Trade. Protection of British Trade Marks Abroad. The Association.— It is recognised that the Government can hardly take up the protection of the trade marks of individuals, but but if the Board of Trade would officially prosecute in ail cases where foreign goods are made up to pass as English, their action would be immensely popular. 4450—12* 714 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. General. The Association. — The English cutlery trade suffers from the under-declaration of the value of foreign goods exported to the United States or to the British Colonies. The Association would welcome an arrangement under which thfey would pay the cost of any samples which Trade Commissioners or Consuls were able to obtain, if the sariiples were acccompanied by particulars as to the foreign manu- facturers exporting, with a view to verification of the price at which the goods were valued. Reference is made to the better methods and organisation of the Germans, and to the superiority of the German to the Sheffield workman in discipline and education. This superiority is partly attributed to the German Trade Schools. In England the trade has suffered from the resistance of workmen to the introduction of machinery, and from trade xmion rules as to apprenticeship. It is suggested that a clause should be inserted in contracts, stating that the contract was placed at the rate of wages then ruling, and that contractors, in sending in their tender, should pledge themselves not to ^o beyond the rates agreed as between the Employers' Association and the Trade Unions. There is extensive dumping of German goods in the United Kingdom. This dtmaping could be prevented by confiscating, at the port of entry, goods found to be under-valued. Alternatively, it could be stopped by a tarriff, but the tariff must be fairly high, 10, 15, or 20 per cent. Mr. Street. — The decline in the trade is caused by incompetence in management, ignorance of workmen, and mischievous interference by old-fashioned trade imion ofiicials. His firm wish to express appreciation of the "magnificent fight" to assist British trade, which is being made by the Commercial Intelligence Branch of the Board of Trade. After the war a slight measure of protection will be needed to foster industries which have been allowed to declinfe, largely by apathy and neglect on the part of manufacturers. (5) Electrical Apparatus. A memorandum was furnished by the British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association. Evidence was given before the Sub-Committee by Mr. F. R. Davenport, Chairman of the Council of the Association; Mr. D. N. Dimlop, Secretary to the Association; and Mr. Broadbent, a member of the staff of the Association. Note. — After the Sub-Committee had adopted its Report, the British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association furnished detailed Memoranda on certain points dealt vnth in their evidence. These Memoranda have been referred to the special Departmental Committee on the Electrical Trades which has been appointed by the Board of Trade. War Documents. 715 Scientific Research.— The Association have already submitted their views to the Advisory Council established under the "Scheme for the Organisation and Development of Scientific and Industrial Research." Amendment of existing Law. — ^The Association think that the Merchandise Marks Act should be more stringently enforced. Each article imported from Germany should be marked "Made in Germany." Exception is taken to the present letters patent on the ground that the cost is too high, the protection inadequate, and the period of provisional protection too short. The Following recommendations are made: — (1) That three classes of patent protection be created: — (a) A short term, or petty patent, for improvements or modifications in design, without provisional protection, and at a low cost. (f>) A long term patent for new inventions. Provisional period of protection to be twelve months, and full period to be at least fifteen years, with an option to extent it to twenty-one years by payment of increased fees. (c) A patent for discovery of new principles. The patentee to be permitted to claim reasonable royalties from patentees of apparatus making use of such principle. (2) That an attempt be made to bring about the imification of patent laws within the British Empire. Complaint is made that the deterrent to dehberate and wilful infringement is insufficient, and also that, under the Canadian patent laws, the British manufacturer is at a ^eat disadvantage, because, after the lapse of two years, a patent is rendered invalid by the impo^rtation of any article made under that patent, although the article may be also manufactured within the Dominion. Improvement of Transport Facilities. — Complaint is made that British exporters are severely handicapped by the excessive cpst of railway and shipping freights as compared with those borne by their foreign competitors. A number of specific cases are quoted in which British rates compare very imfavourably with foreign rates. The cheaper rates prevaUing in Germany are attributed to — Preferential transport rates, in Germany, on goods for export. The use on the Continent of large trucks having double the capacity of EngUsh trucks, and .the charging of rates at "per truck" instead of "per ton." The cheap through rates obtained by foreigners. Combination amongst British railway companies to keep up rates. The control by railway companies of British canals, which are throttled with high toll dues, so as to make them useless, w'.ile, on the other hand, water transport has been greatly developed in recent years in Germany, Holland and France. 4450— 12§* 716 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. In England the exporter is handicapped and the importer favoured. If our canals were properly developed they would not only be profitable but would be of immense advantage to the export trade and at the same time relieve the railways of much of the slow traffic. The cost of special sidings to large manufactories is generally extortionate in England. No reduction in rates is made, in England, for large quantities. The Association recommend: — (1) That the Board of Trade should, as soon as possible, call together a conference of representatives of shipowners, railway companies, and the manufacturing industries to discuss the whole question with a view to co-operation in removing the existing handicaps under which British industries labour when in competition with foreign producers. (2) That an impartial department of the Government be set up to exercise the functions of a tribunal for adjusting grievances existingi between railway and transport companies and traders, more particularly where it can be shown that the foreigner is benefiting at the expence of British industry. Financial Assistance, &c. — The British manufactiu"er gets less assistance than the foreign manufacturer from banks and financial houses. Hence there have been carried out by German firms, in British Colonies and Dominions, many engineering schemes of considerable magnitude, which could have been equally well uiider- taken by British firms if the latter could have received similar financial assistance. Moreover, there are instances on record {e.g., the Victoria Falls Power Scheme) in which the German electrical industry has been largely financed by British capital. The attitude of British financiers towards home industries is in direct contrast with that of German financiers, who invariably stipulate that the plant and machinery for the undertakings they assist shall be of German manxifacture. British mimicipalities and public bodies might set an eixample in this respect, and the Local Government Board, when sanctioning loans, might stipulate that British industry should receive preferential treatment. British municipalities should be assured that, in accepting a tender which is not the lowest, they will not be surcharged by the Government auditor. Accepting the lowest tender may mean that the contract goes to a foreigner, working imder less restriction as to hoiu-s of labour, rates of wages. Factory Acts, &c., than the English contractor. The Association recommend: — (1) That in sanctioning the raising of loans, or taxation, by mimicipalities or public bodies, for. carrying out works pf public utihty, the condition be attached that preference must be given to British manufacturers. The amount of preference might, if thought desirable, be limited to, say, 10 per cent., as a check to trade combines. (2) That a similar condition should, if practicable, be attached to Colonial and foreign loans raised in this country. War Documents. 717 Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions.— The Association think that the money spent by the British Government in connection with exhibitions abroad has not greatly benefited British industry, such exhibitions havmg been held in countries which impose a high import tariff on British goods. They recommend: — (1) That consideration be given to the promotion of trade exhibitions in British Colonies and Dominions, and in coimtries where the conditions are favourable to British enterprises. (2) That efforts be made to establish an annual trade fair in London corresponding to the great continental trade fairs, and that special facilities for visiting the fairs be given to Colonials and to over-seas trade commissioners and other over-seas oflficials who are in a position to influence British trade abroad. Protection of British Trade Markets Abroad. — ^The Association make the following recommendations: — (1) A trade mark should, when possible, be stamped or branded on the article itself, and not upon a detachable label. (2) It is desirable to bring about, if possible, some measure of uniformity in regard to the registration of trade marks within the British Empire, and to render it unnecessary to pay a separate and heavy registration fee in each Colony or State in which trade is carried on. General. — Owing to the unusual demands created by the war in respect of the manufacture of munitions, and other Government work, new machinery has had to be laid down in, and considerable extensions made to, the workshops of the members of the Association. At the conclusion of hostiUties, it will be necessary to keep the works fully employed in order to prevent large numbers of men, including returned soldiers, being suddenly thrown out of emplojonent, and to increase the export trade for the purpose of regaining the balance of trade. Steps must, therefore, be taken to ensure that the country shall not be flooded with imported goods which can be made by British manufacturers. There is, in the opinion of the Council of the Association, only one course possible to secure the satisfactory maintenance of the British electrical engineering and allied industries after the war, namely, the imposition, for a longer or shorter period, of an import tariff on manufactm-ed goods. The following resolution has been adopted by the Coimcil of the Association: — Resolved, that it is the considered opinion of the Council of this Association that the Government should,' as soon as possible, proceed to formulate a tariff scheme embodying — (1) An Imperial Customs Union between Great Britain and her over-seas Colonies, Dominions and Dependencies, with a view to the adoption at some later period of free trade within the British Empire. (2) A tariff on all goods imported into this country which are such as can be efficiently and economically manufactured in British workshops. 718 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. (3) That a substantial preference should be given to all goods, whether manufactured or otherwise, imported from any portion of our over-seas Empire. (4) That a smaller preference than the foregoing be given to those countries which are now allied with us in defending the right of national existence against the dominating influence of the Central European Powers. (5) That such preference as may be possible, having in view the balance of trade between nations, be given to neutral countries. (6) That the duty imposed on goods of Austrain and German mamifacture should be of a highly protective character, not only in Great Britain, but also in the over-seas parta of the Empire. The manufacturing industries of this coimtry are of sufficient importance to be represented by a Government Department distinct from the Board of Trade, whose functions are not to encoiu-age but rather to regulate and impose conditions on trade. What is needed is a department which will be sympathetic towards British industry, and will do its utmost to encourage and stimulate its development and champion its cause against any other department which seeks to impose restrictive conditions. It should also be in a position to act as a tribunal for the settlement or adjustment of differences arising between different sections of industry. The Association recommend: — (1) That the system of Trade Commissioners, which is now in existence in our Dominions, should be extended to the priacipal foreign countries. (2) That the information supplied by the Trade Commission- ers, etc., should not be distributed broadcast, but sent only to the trade associations representing the industry concerned, who would distribute it to the appropriate section. (3) That a Government Department (a Ministry of Com- merce, or Ministry of Industry), independent of the Board of Trade, should be appointed to represent and encourage the development of British industry. (4) That such department might very suitably be the existing Commercial Intelligence Department of the Board of Trade, responsible to a permanent executive committee composed of representatives of all branches of industry, and having sub- committees representing various sections. (5) That a Government inquiry should be instituted to consider the desirabihty of adopting the system of decimal coinage and the metric system. (6) That if it should be decided, on the evidence submitted, that it would be clearly beneficial to British industry that such systems be adopted, suitable legislation shoiild be framed with a view to their general adoption. Mr. Davenport suggested that some effort should be made through" the Board of Trade to arrange a meeting of traders to educate them to take full advantage of what the Board are doing for them; and that steps should be taken to establish a Ministry of Commerce or Industry before the war ends. War Documents. 719 (6') Fancy Leather Goods. A memorandum was furnished by Mr. J. B. Burch, of Messrs. A. Garstin & Co., Ltd., 159, Aldersgate Street, E.G. Evidence was also given by Mr. Burch before the Sub-Conamittee. Scientific Research. — Not very material to fancy leather goods maniifacturers. Is probably of more importance to leather tanner and dressers, now endeavouring to compete with certain lines of leather hitherto specially finished in Germany. Amendment of existing Law. — Our patent laws need revision. Mr. Burch especially complains that the Patent Office accept patents for articles which are in common use in this country, and are well known to the commercial community. He suggests that, to obviate this, more exhaustive inquiry should be made by the Patent Office before patent rights are granted, and that the trade bodies, especially the Chamber of Commerce, should be taken into consultation. He has been given to understand, by German manufacturers, that they get such protection. Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. — These are desirable, but only if they are exploited by a Government Department. The Board of Trade should make some clear pronouncement of its inten- tions with regard to future exhibitions. At the present time, e.g., circulars are being issued suggesting that "The Industries of the Empire Fair" for 1917 will be supported by the Goveriunent. Gen- erally speaking, Mr. Burch is not in favour of the organization of local fairs by municipahties or by Chambers of Commerce. He thinks, however, that in some cases mxmicipalities might take such action. But even then the Board of Trade should be represented. Multiphcity of exhibitions means divided effort, and the people who have taken stands in a private exhibition, and are consequently imable to exhibit at the Board of Trade exhibition, may be the very people that the Board of Trade want for the sake of the trade of the country. The Board of Trade exhibitions should be for traders only; the pubhc , should not be admitted. It is doubtful whether advisory committees would be of much use in connection with them. General. — There is an insufficient supply of skilled labour. Prior to the war big buyers would not look at British manufactures: German manufacturers offered larger assortmehts of goods. A tariff of, say, 33| per cent, is desirable. All that British manufacturers need is a chance, for a few years, of showing the British public and British buyers what the trade could do. Witness would be satisfied with a tariff of 33| per cent., sliding off over a period of five years. There is a difficulty in getting bag-frames. The German nickelled steel does not want nickeUing when the article is made up; the frames made here do. But in this respect we are improving. At the begioning Germany was admitted through lack of enterprise on the part of our manufacturers. German machinery is not better than ours; we use German machines, but they could easily be made here. It would help the trade to have an arrangement with the Post Office 720 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. by which small parcels sent to the Continent could be deUvered against cash. Complaint is made regarding our trade directories: "Good manufacturers, well estabUshed, are omitted, and men of straw, "who are not manufacturers, are included." It was recommended that the Board of Trade shoidd pubUsh trade directories in future. It is desirable to estabUsh, in this cpuntry, a Minister of Conmierce — not a politician, biit a man of commercial experience and ability. (7) Glass Bottles. Memoranda were furnished by Mr. G. E. Alexander, of Messrs. A. Alexander & C^., Limited, 85, Gracechurch Street, E.G.; and Messrs. Thomas Barron, Limited, Mexboro', near Rotherham. Evidence was also given by Mr. Alexander before the Sub-Com- mittee. {Unless otherwise stated, the paragraphs below relate to representa- tions made hy Mr. Alexander.) Scientific Research. — ^There are two matters on which scientific research might be of assistance. The first is with regard to the supply of sand capable of producing white flint glass. Practically the whole of the sand necessary for this glass has to be imported from either Holland or Fontainebleau in France, as, up to now, adequate supplies of sand, sufiiciently free from iron, have not been found in the British Isles; and the Govermnent might, by co-operation with the trade, find some means of getting over this difficulty. Then there is the question of the supply of potash. This commodity is absolutely essential for. the manufacture of some forms of white flint glass, and is largely used in many other forms. Practically the whole of the supply comes from Germany and Austria, and it would appear extremely desirable that scientific research should be utihsed to find what substitutes, if any, can be afforded. Information has been received to the effect that, in America, the difficulty has largely been surmounted, but by what means is not known. Amendment of Existing Law. — Additional protection to the glass bottle industry would be afforded if bottles made by any patented machine were, apart from the question of the country of their origin, to bear some mark indicating the patents under which they were manufactured. There would be no practical difficulty in manu- facturing bottles with such a mark. As regards the desirabihty of marking imported bottles to show the country of their origin, the opinion of manufacturers is divided, some holding that bottles ought -not to' be so marked, inasmuch as the mark might be held to apply to the contents of the bottle when it is filled. War Documents. 721 Improvement of Transport Facilities.— There is considerable room for improvement. The cost of carriage on such bulky goods as bottles, which require a considerable amount of protective packing to prevent breakage, bears too high a percentage of the cost of goods of such comparatively small value. This particularly applies to small towns off the main lines and intermediate towns on the main lines. The high cost of carriage is also acutely felt in the case of goods sent by sea. German manufacturers are able to deliver bottles in London more cheaply than English manufacturers in the north of Yorkshire can deUver them. The Germans have water carriage as against land carriage, and they get preferential rates from their Government for carrying their goods from their works to the sea. Messrs. Thomas Barron, Ldmited.— There i^ great room for' improvement of transport facilities, and we think the rates of carriage should be so arranged that British manufacturers should have an advantage over their foreign competitors. At present the reverse is the case in many districts Financial Assistance, &c. — There is no doubt that industrial trust companies have been of the greatest possible assistance to Continental (particularly German a,nd Austrian) manufacturers. If the Government lend their assistance in the future, whether by means of an import duty or otherwise, British industrial trust companies will be more readily prepared to afford assistance to British manu- facturers, and a large development of trade may be looked for. When loans are made to foreign countries, or to our colonies, there might be some stipulation as to preferential treatment for British goods. Messrs. Thomas Barron, Limited. — Financial assistance would be a great help to many manufacturers. Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. — Mr. Alexander does not think that this would materially benefit the glass bottle trade. The productions of the various manufacturers in this country are adequately brought to the notice of customers, and vary but Uttte in quality and design. General. — Prior to 1882 the gla,ss bottle industry was held almost entirely by British manufacturers. In that year there was a great strike in the north of England and the trade was seized by Continental —particularly German — manufactm-ers. Foreign competition then increased up to 1907, when German and Austrian manufacturers were able to sell bottles, in the British market, at a price with which home manufacturers found it almost impossible to compete. In 1907 an American Company brought out an automatic bottle-making machine known as the "Owens machine," which enabled them to manufacture at a greatly reduced cost. It became obvious to manufacturers in all countries that to continue working they would be obliged to obtain the right to use this machine. The American Company, however, 722 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. asked 600,000L for the patent rights for all countries other than the United States, Canada, Mexico, China and Japan. After much negotiation the rights were acquired by manufacturers in Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Holland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, a,ctuig collectively A certain proportion of the necessary capital, was raised in each of those countries, the manufacturers of Great Britain forming a company known as the British Association of Glass Bottle Manufacturers, Limited. A central or parent company — the JEwopaischer Verband der Flaschenfdbriken G.m.b.H. — ^was formed in Berlin for purposes of administration and control. An arrangement was subsequently made whereby Continental manufacturers were prohibited from selUng bottles in this country at a lower price than that fixed, for the time being, by the Association of British Manufacturers. The joint arrangements have, on the whole, worked extremely well; but Continental manufactiu-ers, by various imderhand means, have been enabled to obtain large contracts in this country, ostensibly at the same price and on the same conditions as British manufacturers, but, in effect, at a reduced price. Hence, at the outbreak of the war, the division of trade was much the same as in 1907. Uncertainty of trade conditions, reluctance to scrap old plant, and the circumstance that the Owens machine is best adapted for making large quantities of one kind of bottle while the British trade is a miscellaneous one, prevented the general use of the Oi^Fens machine in this country. On the other hand. Continental manufacturers had their own protected market and a large foreign trade as weU. Thus they were enabled to manufacture large quantities of bottles of each sort. The Continental manufacturers were also more progressive in other respects; consequently, prior to the outbreak of the war, a rauch greater nimiber of the Owens machines had been installed on the Continent— particularly in Austria and Germany — than in England. At the present time British engineering firms are unable to manufacture the Owens machines, there is great difficulty in getting them from America, and there is a grave shortiage of bottles of all kinds. British manufacturers are doing their best to cope with the situation, but being apprehensive that, after the war, their position will be precarious, they are afraid to incur the expenditure necessary to modernise their works. The best protection that could be afforded them would be a tariff on foreign-made bottles. Messrs. Thomas Barron, Limited, think that a protective tariff against German and Austrian bottles should be established after the *It was suggested in evidence before the Committee that a small duty would be sufficient (say 5 per cent), but since the publication of the Sub-Committee's Report, Messrs. Thomas Barron, in a letter dated 29th April, 1916, state that they consider that the duty should be ?0 or 25 per cent "if the present high cost for fuel and wages paid to workmen is to be maintained"; and oommum- oations have been received from other firms suggesting that a substantial rate of duty would be .necessary. War Documents. 723 (8) Glass Ware. Table Glass and Lighting Glass. Memoranda were furnished by Mr. Congreve Jabkson, of Messrs. Thos Webb and Sons, Ltd., Stourbridge; Mr. J. S. Williams-Thomas of Messrs. SteVens and Williams, Ltd., Brierley Hill Glass Works, Stourbridge; and Mr. Duncan Webb, of Messrs. Molineaux, Webb & Co., Ltd., Kirkby Road, Ancoats, Manchester. Evidence was given by Mr. Congreve Jackson before the Sub- Committee. Sdmtific Research. Mr. Williams-Thomas. — ^Assistance in scientific research is neces- sary if progress is to be made. Heavy expenditure would probably not be required if action were taken through one of the Univeristies. The Sheffield University have just started work in glass research. Amendment of existing Law. Mr. Webb. — All British patents should be worked in Britain, and no articles manufactiu-ed abroad for which British letters patent have been granted should (with possible exceptions) be imported. At present compulsory manufacture in this country is only nominal; the real manufacture is foreign. Improvement of Transport Facilities. Mr. Congreve Jackson, Mr. Williams-Thomas and Mr. Webb. — The system under which low railway rates are charged on goods imported into this country and higher rates on home manufactures sent into our ports and large bities should be reversed. Mr. Congreve Jackson also suggested preferential shipping rates for English-made goods exported. Financial Assistance, Etc. Mr. Congreve Jackson suggests (but only during the war) Gov- ernment assistance in purchasing raw materials from abroad so that these might be bought in bulk and distributed to the different factories at the lowest cost. Mr. Williams-Thomas. — In granting loans to foreign countries we should make it a condition that goods required should, in return, be purchased here. Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. Mr. Williams-Thomas is in favour of exhibitions of the Board of Trade tjrpe, but not of those organised by companies for financial profit, including and encouraging retail stalls and entertainments. General. Mr. Congreve Jackson. — The table-glass industry of this country has been declining for 60 years. The present mmiber of employees does not exceed 3,000— there should be at least 30,000. The decline 18 due to many causes, but chiefly to trade imion rules, the public demand for cheapness regardless of quaUty, the severity of factory 724 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. legislation, and the free importation of foreign mould-formed glass pro- duced ta protected countries under labour conditions prohibited in England, and assisted by preferential railway and steamship rates. Manufacturers do not complain so much of the stringent factory regulations of this country as of the unrestricted importation of foreign glass produced under labour conditions which would not be tolerated in England. In France, Belgium, Germany, and Austria, boys start work at nine years of age, and they are employed — ^particu- larly in Bohemia — at extremely low wages. Here they may not be employed in glass works until they are 13 (until recently 14) years of age, and they are paid at the rate of 12s.-14s. per week. In con- tinental glass works wages generally are much lower, and hour's of laboiu" much longer, than in this country. Owing to these conditions and to the fact that our railways do not carry our goods on the German terms, British glass manufactureers will never be able to sell at the German price or anything like it. Manufacturers are now being urged to capture enemy trade. To do this they must expend much capital. But they can offer no security to investor^ that, after the war, the additional trade obtained under present conditions will be maintained. It is desirable that German and Austrian glass should be entirely excluded for a period of three years after the war. Sub- sequently a duty of 33| per cent should be imposed thereon, and the words "Made in Germany" or "Made in Austria" should be indeUbly marked on each article. A tariff of 33f per cent should also be imposed on all foreign table glass with a preference in favour of our alUes. Foreign glass should be excluded under all Government contracts, and contracts of pubUc bodies containing the fair wages clause. Efforts should be made to promote the use of Enghsh glass in hotels and restaurants. These are, in many cases, managed by foreigners, whose national sympathies and private interests lead them to favour goods made abroad. Mr. Williams-Thomas suggests that duty should be imposed on German and Austrian manufactures entering this country (or the Empire) after the cessation of hostiUties, and that, to be effective, this duty should be prohibitive for a period of five or more years; unless this is done the efforts now made to capture enemy trade will, in a great measure, be useless. Mr. Webb states that the decline of glass making is due to restric- tions on production high wages of labour, and the free admission of foreign goods. He complains that while a clause is inserted in Government and other contracts to the effect that trade union wages shall be paid in this country, contracts are placed with German and other foreign agents without any stipulation as to rates of wages. (9) Glass Ware: Flint and Laboratory Ware. A memorandmn was furnished by Mr. F. Wood, Messrs. Wood Brothers' Glass Co., Ltd.. Borough FUnt Glass Works, Bamsley. Mr. Wood also gave evidence before the Sub-Committee. War Documents. 725 Seientijic Research.— The Institute of Chemistry are doing good pioneer work, and deserve financial support. Promolion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. -^This would be useful two or three years hence, when glass-makers have had time to develop and perfect the experimental work, particularly in chemical glass ware. Protection of Trade Marks Abroad. — Our trade marks should be well protected, both at home and abroad. No difficulty has been found in this respect. General. — The main difficulties in the past— and they will be the same after the war — ^were labour difficulties: — (a) Wages in England are higher than on the Continent. In France much of the skilled handicraft work is doi^« at home in the workers' spare time, by family labour. No machinery is required, but inerely a blow-pipe with foot bellows. In England there are not more than 15 or 20 EngUshmen who can make the comphcated chemical glass ware. The labour cost in that brancli of the trade amounts to about 90 per cent of the total cost. (b) Trade union restrictions : the industry is dominated by trade union. (c) Scarcity of boy labour. A special difficulty at the present time is the responsibihty of deciding whether to launch out into new lines in view of the danger of German and Austrian dumping after the war. Some form of protection is desirable. On optical and chennlcal glass a duty of from 25 to 30 per cent, would be required for a period of five years. A campaign has been inaugurated to induce societies and academic institutions of all kinds to agree to use only British-made laboratory ware for a period of three years after the war. It is understood that about 75 per cent, of the schools, colleges, and technical institutions have already consented, subject to the condition that the price shall not be prohibitive. (10) Jewellers' and Silversmiths' Trade. Memoranda were fui;nished by Mr. George L. Joseph, Vice-chair- man, Birmingham Jewellers' and Silversmiths' Association, and by Mr. J. Bradbury, President of the Master Silversmiths' Association, Sheffield. Evidence was given before the Sub-Committee by Messrs. G. L. Joseph and J. Bradbury. Scientific Research. Mr. Joseph. — Scientific research would be most valuable, es- pecially in connection with metallurgy. Intricate German machines are used for making fine chains. Birmingham firms have been unable to obtain a sufficient supply of these machines and are unable to work those that they have, without expert foreign help. In some cases the ■..&>li»j£lt^^ 726 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. machines were worked by Germans and Austrians now interned. A number of these machines have been sold to Birmingham manu- facturers, but ererj'^ one of them arrived from Germany in a faulty condition, which prevented it from being worked. English chaia- makers are also unable to produce the special seK-soldering wire necessary for making chains quickly and inexpensively. Scientific research is desirable to assist England to capture the trade in semi-precious stones. Mr. Bradbury.— The work being done in the technical schools in connection with the Sheffield University is of the greatest use, and its extension is hoped for. Government help is not required at present. Amendment of Existing Law. Mr. Joseph. — Birmingham jewellery manufacturers would like to be able to register their designs at a local ofiice, instead of in London. Trade marks require better protection. The Customs should not allow the importation of goods bearing trade marks in imitation of British marks. As regards the Merchandise Marks Act, large quantities of jewellery and other goods are imported which are described as " rolled gold," " gold plate," "gold cased," etc., but are nbthing better than cheap metal, electro-gilt. Mr. Bradbury. — ^The copyright and registration of designs needs some revision. AH electro-plated, nickel silver, brass, and other metal goods, imported from abroad, should bear the name of the country of origin plainly struck upon them. It is possible so to mark even small articles, such as rings. Improvement of Transport Facilities. Mr. Joseph. — -The Post Ofiice will not accept jewellery and precious stones for transmission by registered letter post to certain countries, e.g., Peru and Ecuador. This is detrimental to trade, as articles sent by parcel post take twice as long to reach their destina- tion. Germany sends these goods by registered post, and the Cus- toms authorities of the countries receiving them do not object. Eailing the registered post, the insured box service should be available, as it is to certain Em-opean countries. Complaint is made also of the postal service to Cuba, Paraguay, etc. An extension of the cash-on deUvery system is desirable. ^Financial Assistance, etc. Mr. Joseph. — ^There are huge possibihties of developing trade with Russia if financial facihties be afforded, or maniif actiirers obtain satisfactory guarantees that they will be able to collect their accounts. Mr. Bradbury. — Many firms will require financial assistance after the war. Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. Mr. Joseph expressed the gratitude of his Association for the arrangements made by the Board of Trade in connection with the British Industries' Fair, and hopes the Board will continue their efforts. War Documents. 727 Mr. Bradbury.— The promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions under Government auspices is of great assistance. It is hoped that the Board of Trade will hold an exhibition annually. Prot^tion of Trade Marks abroad. Mr. Bradbury. — The Government should protect the registered trade marks of British firms abroad. Our Consuls might help British finns, who proposed to bring an action in a foreign town for infringe- ment of trade marks, by taking a benevolent interest in the matter and giving advice as to the best lawyers to engage, and so on. Mr. Bradbury strongly emphasised his view that the Government should take steps to stop the abuse of the British silver hall-marks by American and Canadian manufacturers, and also by manufacturers m other parts of the world. He handed in advertisements of American firms showing how they adopt the hall-marks of the British Assay Offices as their trade-marks. The practice of applying the hall-marks to electro-plated ware is quite prevalent in the United States; Canada is " flooded " with plate made in America and bearing these marks, and consequently the Canadian Government cannot prevent (as they would otherwise do) the use of them by manufacturers in Canada. The matter is one which, in Mr. Bradbury's opinion, certainly does need the earnest consideration of H.M. Government. General. British banking facihties in various countries, e.g., in Colombia, are inadequate, and banking transactions have to be undertaken by merchant houses — usually German, the British merchant houses being " too slow." One of the chief reasons for the progress made by the German jewellery trade before the war was the German system of art and technical education and apprenticeship. A system of enforced apprenticeship and technical education would be good for this country. In Birmingham it is difficult to induce boys to attend art classes even if their fees are paid and they are given time to attend the classes in the afternoon; and in the jewellery trade the apprenticeship system has broken down altogether. The duty charged in certain countries on catalogues is very injurious to trade. Tariff protection should be afforded to those who have invested capital in capturing trade formerly in German hands. British assay marks on silver are not accepted in Russia, and it IS useless for British manufacturers to attempt to do business with that country under the present regulations. (11) Paper. A memorandum was furnished by Mr. A. W. Foster, Secretary to the Paper Makers' Association of Great Britain and Ireland. 728 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Evidence was given before the Sub-Committee by Mr. Foster and by Mr. John Mebrose Amot, the latter witness representing the Northern Committee of the Association. Scientific Research. — Assistance in the promotion of scientifice research is most desirable, e.g., in the direction of obtaining substitutes for resin size and aniUne dyes, and for paper-coating materials hitherto imported. The Government might well assist in researches connected with special kinds of paper, such as vegetable parchment, grease-proof paper, etc., some part of the cost being, in these cases, borne by the makers specially interested. The estabhshment of some central institution is desirable, at which manufacturers might obtain, for a moderate fixed fee, scientific analyses, etc. The Manchester Tech- nical School is fully equipped, but is not utiUsed as it might be. It is only a local affair; it should be a national one. Mr. Arnot stated that, so far as he knew, the Government take no interest in it and do not help it. He admitted, however, that the School is helped in- directly by the Government assistance to modern universities, and that the- Government cannot reasonably recognise a school otherwise than by making it part of a univeristy having power to grant technical degrees, and by supporting that university. He thinks that employers in this\country have not appreciated the value of technical education, but that, on the other hand, the existence of such an institution as the School has not been sufficiently brought under the notice of the trade by the university. Mr. Foster suggested that a note might be inserted in the " Board of Trade Journal " to the effect that investigations could be made under the auspices of the Government, or by the Manchester Technical School. The Sub-Committee sug- gested that the paper manufacturers might appoint an advisory committee, and that the School might thus be brought into closer contact with the trade. Mr. Arnot agreed. Mr. Foster stated that the three centres of the paper-making industry are London,Manchester and Edinburgh, and expressed the opinion that a school, in London, with Government approval and support, would give the trade what was required. Mr. Arnot suggested, however, that the efforts of the trade, in matters of research, should be concentrated, and at Manchester as the most central place, and because the school there is already fully equipped. Amendment of existing Law. — In any revision of the law as to trade marks care should be taken to protect water-marks in paper from imitation or infringement. In cases where copyright is granted to any country subject to certain restrictions, siinilar restrictions, should apply to copyright granted here to citizens of that country. Improvement of Transport Facilities. — Our canal system should be developed and modernised, and our main roads should be improved for motor transport which will increase. Railway companies should be compelled to divide up their through rates from foreign countries, so that railway freights in this country may be clearly shown, and traders may be enabled to claim like rates for reasonable quantities of goods. Considerable friction is caused by excessive and vexatious charges for demurrage, returned empties, etc. Reference was made to War Documents. 729 a [suspicion that foreign goods imported are sometimes rated by the companies on a classification lower than that applied to British goods of the same kind. Financial Assistance, etc. — ^No suggestions offered. Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. — The value of the trade fair inaugurated by the Board of Trade is appreciated. The fair should be continued. General. — After the war the trade will again be faced by two of the great difficulties which it encountered in meeting foreign competi- tion in the pre-war period: firstly, dumping; secondly, competition arising from the prevalence, in certain foreign countries, of unduly low wages and inordinately long hours. The trade looks to the Govern- ment to take effective steps to safeguard it against these. In Gernaany there are several paper cartels; there is believed to be no international cartel. Before the war there was no price convention amongst British makers. There is now an agreement, but some of the makers are not in it. This agreement related to prices only, and is compul- sory under penalties. It does not control production. It came into existance owing to the rise in cost of materials consequent on the rise in freights, and it represents about 80 per cent of the trade. The labour bill, for a particular class of output, is about the same in Germany as in Bury. The German maker is, however, protected in his own market, and German railway companies, shipping com- panies, pulp makers, and others give him lower prices in connection with goods for export. Pressed on the amount of protection necessary to safeguard the paper-making industry, Mr. Arnot suggested a duty of 15 per cent. There should be a Ministry of Conmierce which "should have com- mercial, and not poHtical, brains." (12) Printing Trade. Memoranda were received from Mr. R. J. Lake, Secretary to the Federation of Master Printers and Allied Trades, and from Mr. L. Lacey, Stockport. Evidence was given before the Sub-Committee by Mr. Lake, and by Messrs. W. A. Waterlow, H. Cooke and H. C. Hill, of the Federa- tion of Master Printers. Scientific Research. » Mr. Lake. — Government assistance is desirable for the promotion of scientific research in connection with certain printing trade requisites We partly or wholly depend upon Germany for supphes of gold leaf, gold bronze, red, blue, yellow, and madder lake colours, alizarines, and all aniline colours. These are of great importance to many indus- tries. The Government should not only institute a research depart- ment to deal with the scientific side of their production, but should also subsidize or give bounties to encourage production until the* 4450—13* 730 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. industries are established. Germany has done thiS; and has practically created a monopoly for the benefit of German goods. In the educa- tional colour work the German Government organized a syndicate and went to enormous expense. Leading German experts and artists were over here studying the question for eighteen months, and ended by capturing the trade. The further application of photography to printing offers a favourable field for research. It was formerly thought here that the less Government intervenes in trade the better, but opinion is now veering round to the idea that this was a mistake. German workshop organisation is better than ours. If the converse were the case Germany would take official action. German employers devote themselves more closely to business than British employers do. Longer hours are worked by German than by British workmen, and the former pay more attention than the latter to their work. Mr. Lake sees that if this state of affairs con- tinues Government assistance might result in the protection of incom- petence. He thinks that the trade is alive to that fact, but that it does require more sympathetic assistance from the Government. Mr. Waterlow. — ^Very great assistance could be given to the printing trade if difficulties arising in connection with colours, paper, or the appUcation of photography to printing and hthography could be submitted to a scientist. [The Sub-Committee pointed out that a scheme of assistance for industrial research has recently been established by the Treasury and the Board of Education.] Mr. Lacey regards development as vitally necessary both as regards laboratory work and the collation and co-ordination of trading and industrial facts and statistics. Modern universities should be brought into closer touch with factories. Travelling scientists should be appointed from among university students, or from teaching staffs, and lent to industrial enterprises in turn, large rewards being given for really valuable discoveries. This work could readily be made self-supporting, but it should have the hall-mark of national work. Amendment of existing Law Mr. Lake. — The Enghsh copyright law should be brought into Une with that of the United States. At present printed works, to be copyrighted in both countries, have to be produced in the United States for the purpose of copyright there, and consequently have to be manufactured in the United States, wholly or in part, although for sale in this country. Merchandise marks: — a clear indication of the country of origin should be given on each copy of the printed article, in such way as to be incapable of removal, and plainly visible when the article is offered for sale. "It is not an amendment of the law that we want — ^it is an amendment of the administration of the law." Mr. Hill. — The only way to deal with the copyright question in America is to reciprocate — to give the Americans the same terms as they give us. War Documents. 731 Mr. Lacey suggested that all trades might have one national emblem, and that if the Allied nations each adopted their own dis- tinctive mark it would help them to identify "friendly" goods. Improvement of Transport Facilities. Mr. Lake. — There is plenty of room for improvement, particu- larly in the case of inland transport. At present, carriage direct to London from other parts of the world can be secured at a lower rate than from places in the United Kingdom not very far distant. It has sometimes been found cheaper to ship goods abroad for trans- mission to this country than to send them direct from one part of the country to another. Railway rates and classifications should be controlled by some impartial authority, and our system of waterways should be investigated. Mr. Lacey recommends nationaUzation of railways and canals. Financial Assistance, Etc. Mr. Lake. — Regarding financial assistance, there is a confiict of opinion between the heads of large, well-capitalized businesses and the heads of small, under-capitalized businesses, the former, being against and the latter in favour of the granting of such assistance. Mr. Lake thinks that during the last 20 or 30 years there has been a need for banks to study the wishes of businesses and industries which cannot capitalize themselves on a basis of 100,000Z. or 200,000Z., but which, with a few thousand pounds, might do very good business for the country. Mr. Waterlow. — ^When loans are granted to foreign countries, it is very advisable that efforts should be made to secure for this coutnry the printing of the bonds. Mr. Lacey. — The conservative banking method must be dropped if British finance is to give the true help it should give in the coming stern trade war. Board of Trade influence would be of priceless value in starting this movement. It would be easy for the Board of Trade to assist the small trader by promoting organizations in each of the AlUed countries for the purpose of guaranteeing credit (having the means of ascertaining the risk) and shortening the settlement terms by discounting where necessary. Promotion of Fairs and Exhibitions. Mr. Lake. — Fairs should be under Government organization; manufacturers only should be allowed to exhibit, and, as regards the printing trade, foreign manufactiired goods should be excluded. Mr. Lacey. — The first British Industries Fair contained the germ of a magnificent idea for trade promotion. The fair "must be Board of Trade." There must be but one. London is the natiu-al centre. There should be a miniature fair — an exhibition of British goods — once a year, in each of the world's capitals, with admission by special invitation Protection of British Trade Marks Abroad. Mr. Lake suggests the estabUshment of an international tribimal which would, by one registration, give world-wide protection, or of a 4450— 13J* 732 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. system under which the prosecution of claims would be made in the country of the aggrieved party, the loser (or, in case of his bank- ruptcy, his country) to pay all expenses. Mr. Lacey suggests that in the different countries the principle of reciprocal protection and no more, implying the power of retaliation for proved offences, would be the best solution. General. Mr. Lake. — If the position of the British printer is to be main- tained after the war, a tariff should be placed on all printed matter imported into the country, and the duty should be made specially heavy on pictorial and colour printiag produced from British designs. Mr. Waterlow. — The duty on all foreign printed goods should be at least 33| per cent. Mr. Lake. — More help should be rendered to. export trade by our consuls who, in this respect, compare unfavoxirably with German consuls. Every consul should be British, if a native of this country is available. He should be a commercial man, or have a commercial department, and in order that he may look properly after commercial interests he should be adequately remunerated. The establishment is suggested of a central export bureau, under Government control, from which advice might be obtained as to markets and methods of approaching them. The trade should be allowed to express their views prior to increase of postal rates. Mr. Lacey. — Some form of "protection" is necessary. After the war the Germanic nations will flood the market with goods at cut- throat prices. Human nature is not strong enough to resist the cash bribe. The Germans will use for their pm-pose naturalized people of enemy origin, and the cosmopolitan element with whom profit always comes first. The German is in desperate case and mvst "dump." Mr. Lacey refers to the terribly depressing effect upon traders of their conviction that the German with his unfair methods will be admitted on the old terms, and suggests that the effect, upon pessi- mists of this sort, of the knowledge that they would be "protected," would be electrical. He suggests that there should be attached to each important consulate a business man to be engaged solely in opening up business, that we might invite foreign Trade Attaches to be our guests, that valuable prizes might be given for essays, etc., upon trade promotion, that the proper study of foreign languages should be encouraged by the State, and that the metric system should be adopted. He urges that German printing and lithography gained much by having the assistance of the greatest German designers, and that the Board of Trade should encourage our ablest artists to produce designs which should be national. Closer association should be estabUshed between schools of design and workshops. Mr. Hill laid stress upon the desirabiUty of securing for British printers the work of printing British designs. Mr. Cooke. — German printers are able to produce far better work than EngUsh printers in printing bronze of all descriptions, but in ordinary colour printing we can hold our own very well. The large War Documents. 733 amount of German colour work that comes into this country is of a stock character. In stock work the Germans produce excellent work at a figure that we cannot touch. They send around the world to get orders, and produce in enormous quantities. Apart from stock work we can compete successfully, even in Germany itself. (13) Stationery Trade. Memoranda were furnished by Mr. P. Barringer, Chairman of the Council of the Stationers' Association of the United Kingdom, and by Messrs. Rowney & Co., pencil manufacturers. Evidence was given before the Sub-Committee by Mr. Barringer. Scientific Research. — The organisation is suggested of a committee to collect and classify samples, from all parts of the world, of articles manufactured from various raw materials, with a view to the study of the samples by manufacturers and workers in such materials. A list of all substitutes for well-known raw materials would be useful. A bureau of consulting scientists might be formed. The adequate production of dyes is specially important to the trade. Amendment of Existing Law. — ^It is desirable that all foreign-made goods imported should be conspicuously and indelibly stamped, or marked, with the country of origin, and that the removal, covering over, or defacement of this mark should not be allowed. No water- marks liable to be mistaken for British marks should be permitted on foreign-made paper imported. At present the Merchandise Marks Act is not a serious measure. A British and Colonial trade marks convention, by which a trade mark, registered in London under convention, would also be valid in all the Colonies, would be of great value. Improvement of Transport Facilities. — This subject requires the careful study of a special committee. Preferential rates for foreign goods on our railways have long been a scandal, and should not be permitted. As an instance of this it is stated that the carriage of pianos bought in BerUn and delivered in Beckenham is less than the carriage of pianos from the Midlands to Beckenham. Financial Assistance, Etc. — Manufacturers entering foreign mar- kets, especially Russian, Chinese and South American, must give very long credits. They would be much assisted by some arrangement for the discounting of time bills. The establishment of industrial banks, on the lines of those in Germany, is desirable. Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. — The Board of Trade Exhibition was a model in every respect. Its success was undoubtedly due to the fact that it was under Govermnent control. The notion of closing the exhibition at 6 o'clock, although not at first popular amongst exhibitors, proved to be an "extraordinarily brainy" one. Protection of British Trade Marks Abroad. — It would be of the highest value if the Board of Trade were to assist manufacturers in adjusting equities in matters of foreign trade disputes. A member of 734 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. the Association owns a trade mark for fountain pens in Japan. A Japanese holds the same trade mark. Thus two firms are permitted to sell entirely different kinds of fountain pens under the mark "Swan." It would be a costly matter for the member of the Association to take steps to have the Japanese mark expunged, but if there were a system of mutual compromise the matter might be settled by the British and Japanese Boards of Trade. General. — ^Endeavour should be made to obtain reduction of tariffs on advertising matter accompanying goods imported into the Colonies for sale. Travellers' trading licences, within the Empire, should be preferential as regards British represenatives. Encourage- ment should be given to the use of metric weights and measiu-es. DesirabiUty of a convention with the Colonies for the adoption of the metric system. A decimal monetary system would be advantageous, especially to the export trade. Official records of approved certifi- cated translators in foreign languages, and of capable foreign trade consultant experts, would be of great value. It is strongly felt that, after the war, the present antagonism to German and Austrian goods will become weakened by attractions of cheapness, as all classes of goods produced in present enemy countries will be "dumped" here, through, or even without, the co-operation of traders in neutral countries. Of late many factories have been equipped here to produce goods formerly imported, and further developments in this direction would be undertaken but for 'the feeling of insecurity due to fears of unrestricted dumping. This fear would be immediately removed were the Government to formulate and announce some scheme of protection. Complaint is made that buyers belonging to English houses who go over to Germany to purchase goods do not buy the goods strictly on their merits, but are influenced by a desire to keep up these continental trips. If they buy in England they lose a pleasant hohday and the entertainment provided for them by the German exporters. Messrs. Rowney & Co.'s letter relates mainly to the subject of German and Austrian competition in the pencil-making business prior to the war. They state that at Nuremberg the industry was so nursed by Government support that this one town suppUed approxi- mately 60 per cent of the world's production. They believe that the chief assistance granted by the German Government was given through a law requiring all stationery used in Government offices, municipal offices, schools, and in connection with railways and tramways, to be of German production, and they point out the advantages which would accrue to the trade here were a similar regulation in force in this country. They refer to the cowuption due to the organised system of lavish entertainment of English buyers in Germany, and to evasion of the Merchandise Marks Act. {14) Toys {other than Mechanical). A Memorandum was furnished by Mr. H. S. Dean, of Dean's Rag Book Company, Ltd., Newington Butts, S.E. Mr. Dean also gave evidence before the Sub-Committee. War Documents, 735 Scientific Research. — The German plan of State-aided scientific research could scarcely be improved upon, and the establishment of technical schools, where proper training could be given in the numerous branches of industry which have now sprung up, is essential to the successful prosecution of new undertakings. Practically no one can be got in this country who knows anything about toy-making. When the war broke out the Company were on the point of enga^ng a German to teach them the business. In Germany there are technical schools with classes which specialise in toy-making; it would be useful if some of our technical schools could be induced to establish similar classes. Amendment of Existing Law. — All articles imported should be indelibly marked with the name of their country of origin. The removal of this mark should be punishable not by fines alone, but by imprisoimient of the offender, and confiscation of the goods. Improvement of Transport Facilities. — Much might be done with State assistance, especially in the development of our national waterways. Financial Assistance, Etc. — It would be an inestimable boon to British manufacturers if the system in vogue in Germany of advances through the banks could be adopted here. Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions — The Company benefited considerably from the British Industries Fair. They are strongly in favour of the continuance of trade fairs and exhibitions under Government control. It is desirable that definite information as to date and place of exhibition should be given as long in advance as possible. Last year's Fair was held rather too late in the year. General. — Our toy trade generally is in jeopatdy because of the risk that, directly the war is over, the cheapest articles will find their way in. German manufacturers employ family or home labour — "sweating to the very highest degree." Hence they can produce more cheaply than we can. Apart from the technical skill required, the only way of meeting German competition is to institute a tariff on all toys imported, with a higher tariff on toys produced wholly or in part by family or home labour. Generally speaking, an expert could distin- guish the latter class of toys. If the importation of enemy goods is not prohibited altogether for a period of years after the war, with a tariff of 25 or 30 per cent the trade could, I think, be held: family or home labour would not then matter. Agents here of German manu- facturers work together to subdue the British manufacturers: it is war, not commerce. The adoption of the metric system in this country is a most necessary step, and would be an immense advantage in doing business in foreign countries. Since the war, the British toy-making industry has made great progress. Previously it was practically a German monopoly, except in leaden soldiers and things of that sort, which even Germany was buying from us. (15) Mechanical Toys. A memorandum was furnished by Mr. F. Hornby, "Meccano, Ltd.," Binns Road, Liverpool. 736 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Mr. Hornby also give evidence betore the Sub-Committee. Scientific Research.— -Might be, very useful in certain branches of the toy trade. Access thereto might certainly be an advantage. Amendment of Existing Law. — Mr. Hornby thinks that copyright registration should be re-established. He is now taking action in, Australia, in a case of copyright infringement. In the absence of a certificate of registration he is obliged to get a legal instrmnent drafted. This causes difficulty, expense, and delay. The present patent law would be improved considerably by the introduction of the German sj'^stem of Gehrauchsmuster , under which articles possessing features of novelty, but not patentable, would get a proper measure of protection. Improvement of Transport Facilities. — In this respect little diffi- culty has been found. Financial Assistance, Etc. — One of the greatest handicaps from which our industries suffer is lack of capital. The toy trade is mainly a season's trade; capital flows out at an enormous rate for nine months of the year and back again in about two months after the Christmas season is over. Hence a large amount of capital is required. In the absence of suitable security, which cannot in some cases be provided, although the business may be quite sound and profitable, banks will not grant loans. The Government could give very considerable help by guaranteeing the banks (subject to special conditions) for loans made to manufacturers. Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. — The British Industries Fair was in most respects very satisfactory, but future fairs should be much better advertised both in England and abroad. An annual fair would be qf the greatest possible assistance to the toy trade. It should always be held in London, not later than March, and should be imder the control of the Board of Trade. Foreign buyers should be given such information regarding the scope of the exhibition, hotel accommodation, other attractions in London, etc., as would impel them to pay a visit to London while the fair is open. Protection of British Trade Marks Abroad. — An effort should be made to induce the countries that are parties to the present International Convention on Patents, etc., to agree that a trade mark once registered in any country shall not be registered by any other party in any other country. Mr. Hornby has experienced serious difficulty owing to this own trade mark having been registered abroad, by other people. General. — Before the war about 90 per cent, of the toys in the United Kingdom were imported — mainly from Germany; and there appeared to be no possibility of establishing British toy industries to compete with foreign manufacturers. Present conditions afford an opportunity created solely by the exclusion of German goods. To take advantage of this opportunity an absolutely prohibitive duty based on the net cost of production should be imposed on all foreign mechanical toys, at least until such time as British manu- facturers can compete on equal terms. In the mechanical toy trade War Documents. 737 old-established firms in Germany and Austria, capitalised up to about 4,000,000Z., have been producing^ and perfecting their methods, for 20 years. We have a close knowledge of their finished products, and of the means required to duplicate and possibly improve upon them. We are deficient in trained and skilled labour, in factory accommodation and equipment, and in the financial resources to estabhsh the industry. Skilled labour can be rapidly acquired; factory acconunodation and equipment present no special difficulty; the chief difficulty is the financial one. It would be utterly useless to attempt to capture trade from highly-experienced, well-established, German and Austrian houses, by encouraging small firms in this country to attack tiny portions of the mechanical toy business. Only a very large concern, working with the finest tools and skilled labour, and manufacturing in very large quantities, could hope to produce the required goods at proper prices. In order that our output may be large and our costs reduced, we should take energetic steps to capture not only the home trade but the colonial and foreign markets as well The whole question turns upon output ; to capture trade we must increase our own and reduce that of the foreigner. Mr. Hornby suggests that the Sub-Committee should give consideration to the difficulties of obtaining copyright in America. Not only have blocks to be made and type set up there, but all copies for that market have to be printed there. Hence goods sent to America have to be opened on arrival in order that the necessary book of instructions may be inserted. Mr Hornby furnished certain detailed particulars regarding the manufacture by him of a set, comprising a locomotive, tender, two carriages and rails, being a duplicate of a German set which, prior to the war, was sold to the dealer in this country for 2s. 8d., and is being sold by Mr. Hornby for 3s. 8d. The floor space required to turn out this particular set alone represents approximately 24,633 square feet PART II. General summary of collective repkesentations. (1) Assistance in the Promotion of Scientific Research in the Interestt of Trade and Industry. The value of scientific research, and the desirability of Govern- ment assistance in connection therewith, are generally recognised Evidence is given of the success attending State-aided research Ml Germany, and favoxirable reference is made to the Charlottenburg Institute of Berlin. . _ It is suggested that, if action were taken through the Univer- sities, heavy expenditure would not be necessary; and the opinion IS expressed that a scheme might be estabhshed which would be partly self-supporting. 738 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Reference in made to good work which is abeady being done by the Sheffield University, the Institute of Chemistry, the Manchester Technical School, and the Pottery College at Stoke-on-Trent. This work is said to be hampered by lack of funds. The witnesses representing the British Electrical and Allied Manufacturer's Association stated that they had already submitted their views on this subject to the Advisory Council established under the "Scheme for the Organization and Development of Scientific and Industrial Research." Stress is laid on the importance of technical schools It is admitted that employers have not properly appreciated the value of technical education, and that difficulty is experienced in inducing employees to avail themselves of the opportunities afforded them of increasing their technical knowledge. Among other suggestions are the following: — The appointment of "travelUng scientists," to be lent to industrial enterprises in turn. The organisation of a committee to collect and classify samples from all parts of the world, of articles manufactured from various raw materials. The compilation of a Ust of substitutes for well-known raw materials. The formation of a bureau of consulting scientists, chemists, engineers, etc. Increased attention to the growing of timber. The offer of rewards for valuable discoveries. (2) Amendments of Existing Law as to Copyright, Patents, Trade Marks, Merchandise Marks Act, &c. Copyright. (Paper.)— Where copyright is granted, by any country subject to certain restrictions, similar restrictions should apply to copyright granted here to citizens of that country. (Printing.) — The English copyright law should be brought into line with that of the United States. At present, printed works to be copyrighted in both countries have to be produced in the United States for the purposes of the copyright there, and consequently have to be manufactured in the United States, wholly or in part, even if for sale in this country. (^Printing and Lithography.) — The working of the American copyright should be imitated here exactly, if only to compel its disuse. {Toys, Mechanical.) — Copyright registration should be re- estabhshed. (Jewellers and Silversmiths.) — The copyright and registration of designs need some revision; and the Birmingham jewellery manufacturers would like to be able to register their designs at a local office instead of in London. War Documents. 739 Patents. {Fancy Leather Goods.) — Insufficient inquiries are made before patents are accepted, and patent rights are granted upon articles that have aheady been upon the market and are in fairly common use. To obviate this, more exhaustive inquiry should be made by the Patent Office before patent rights are granted, and trade bodies should be taken into consultation. (Cutlery.) — The trade are anxious to have relief from certain German patent rights, and German appUcatione for patents, which impede the progress of the introduction of machinery. {Glassware.) — All British patents should be worked in Britain, and no articles manufactured abroad, for which British letters patent are granted, should (with possible exceptions) be imported. At present, compulsory manufacture in this country is only normal. {Printing and Lithography.) — The measure of protection given by any country to subjects of this country should be the measure of protection given to them. {Toys, Mechanical.) — The present law would be improved con- siderably by the introduction of the German system of Gebrauchsmuster. (Glass Bottles.) — Additional protection would be given to this industry if bottles made by any patented machine were to bear a mark indicating the patent under which they were manufactured. {China and earthenware.) — More care might with advantage be exercised by Patent Office examiners to ascertain whether a pattern or shape offered for registration has been "antici- pated." (Electrical Apparatus.) — Exception is taken to the present letters patent on the ground that the cost is too high, the protection inadequate, and the period of provisional protection too short. The following recommendations are made: — (1) That three classes of patent protection be created: — (a) A short term of petty patent for improvements or modifications in design, without provisional protection, and at a low cost. (b) A long term patent for new inventions. Provis- ional period of protection to be twelve months, and full period to be at least fifteen years, with an option to extend it to twenty-one years by payment of increased fees. (c) A patent for discovery of new principles. The patentee to be permitted to claim reasonable royalties from patentees of apparatus making use of such principle. 740 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. (2) That an attempt be made to bring about the unification of patent laws within the British Empire. Complaint is made that the deterrent to deliberate and wilful infringement is insufficient, and also that, under the Canadian patent laws, the British manufacturer is at a great disadvantage, because, after the lapse of two years, a patent is rendered invalid by the importation of any article made under that patent, although the article may be also manufactured within the Dominion. Trade Marks. (Jewellery.) — ^English trade marks require better protection. The Customs should prevent the importation of goods bearing trade marks identical with, or nearly resembling, British trade marks. (Building and Drainage Earthenware.) — Goods which are wrongly marked should be conficated at the port of entry. (Paper.) — In any alteration of the law, care should be taken that water-marks in paper are fully protected against imitation or infringement; it should not be overlooked that a water- mark is a trade mark. (Stationery.) — If a British and Colonial Trade Marks Convention could be formed by which a trade mark registered in London under convention would be vaUd in all the Colonies as well, ■ the fee to be an inclusive one, it would be of great value to manufacturers, and would foster trade. (Printing and Lithographing.) — Could not all trades have one national emblem? Merchandise Marks Act. (General.) — ^Every article made in Germany or Austria-Hungary (or every foreignrmade article) imported into the United Kingdom should bear a mark showing the coxmtry of its origin. The mark should be conspicuous and indelible, and {less general) its removal, covering over or defacement should be pimishable by imprisonment of the offender and confis- cation of the goods. Even small articles, such as rings, could be so marked. (Brushes.) — The Government should prosecute where cases of default are brought to their notice; it should not be left to an individual to take action at great expense to himself. Many provisions of the Act can be ignored with impunity, because the Government do not move actively enough. (Stationery.) — No water-marks liable io be mistaken for British Marks should be permitted on foreign-made paper imported. At present theMerchandiseMarksAct is not a serious measure. (Jewellery.) — Numerous mis-descriptions have crept into the trade and cannot be dealt with under the present Act. Thus, cheap metal articles, simply electro-gilt, are described as "rolled gold," "gold-cased," etc. War Documents. 741 (3) Improvement of transport facilities. (General.) — Complaint is made of preferential treatment of foreign goods by British railway companies, and it is suggested that the system of rating should be altered so as to favour the home instead of the foreign manufacturer. (Printing.) —J-h. Lacey: Our railways and canals should be permanently nationalised. Mr. Lake: Railway rates and classification should be controlled and revised by some iinpartial authority, and om- system of waterways should be investigated. It has sometimes been found cheaper to ship goods abroad for transmission to this country than to send them direct from one part of the country to another. (Cutlery.) — It is a matter of resentment to the trade that in some cases English shipping rings charge higher rates from English ports than from foreign countries. (Toys.) — Much might be done with State assistance, especially in the development of our national waterways. (Paper.) — The canal system of this country should be developed and modernised. Main trunk roads should be maintained and improved; motor transport will be increasingly used in the future. Railways companies should be compelled to divide up their through rates from foreign countries. In the case of freight charges from one foreign port to another by way of a British port the through rate is frequently lower than that quoted at the British port for the part voyage. Delay and loss are caused by the absence of railway facilities for dealing with dock and ex-ship traffic. Consider- able friction arises from excessive and vexatious charges for demurrage, returned empties, etc. Reference is made to a suspicion that foreign goods imported are sometimes rated by the railway companies on a classification lower than that applied to British goods of the same kind. (Glass Bottles.) — Cost of carriage, by land or sea, on bulky articles requiring much protective packing bears too high a percent- age of the cost of such goods. (Jewellery.)— Increased facilities are desirable in connection with the registered letter and parcel post, and the insured box service. An extension of the cash-on-delivery system would be helpful. (China and Earthenware.) — German potters have been very materially assisted by their government-subsidized rates of carriage. The question of cheap and rapid transport is of the greatest import- ance, and imtil something is done to assist manufacturers in this respect we shall be at a disadvantage compared with the Germans in competing for the trade of the world. German manufacturers get lower rates on goods for export than on goods for internal use. Canal freights are higher here than in Germany. 742 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. {Building and Drainage Earthenware.) — Some such system as the German bounty system would enable British manufacturers to compete in markets at present closed to them. {Electrical Apparatus). — Complaint is made that British exporters are severely handicapped by the excessive cost of railway and shipping freights as compared with those borne by their foreign competitors. A number of specific cases are quoted in which British rates compare very unfavourably with foreign rates. The cheaper rsltes prevailing in Germany are attributed to — Preferential transport rates, in Germany, on goods for export. The use on the Continent of large trucks having double the capacity of Enghsh trucks, and the charging of rates at "per truck" instead of at "per ton." The cheap through rates obtained by foreginers. Combination amongst British railway companies to keep up rates. The control by railway companies of British canals, which are throttled with high toU dues, so as to make them useless, while, on the other hand, water transport has been greatly developed in recent years in Germany, Holland, and France. In England the exporter is handicapped and the importer favoured. If our canals were properly developed they would not only be profitable, but would be of immense advantage to the export trade, and at the same time reUeve the railways of much of the slow traffic. The cost of special sidings to large manufactories is generally extortionate in England. No reduction is made, in England, for large quantities. The Association of British Electrical and AUied Manufacturers recommend: — (1) That the Board of Trade should, as soon as possible, call together a conference of representatives of shipowners, railway companies, and the manufacturing industries, to discuss the whole question with a view to co-operation in removing the existing handicaps under which British indus- tries labour when in competition with foreign producers. (2) That an impartial department of the Government be set up to exercise the fimctiohs of a tribunal for adjusting grievances existing between railway and transport companies and traders, more' particularly where it can be shown that the foreigner is benefiitting at the expense of British industry. (4) Financial Assistance such as Industrial Trust Companies, and the Conditions to be attached to Loans to Foreign Countries. Trust Companies. {Building and Drainage Earthenware.) — ^A small subsidy would finance companies, whose business it would be to sell goods for groups of manufacturers, and good results would accrue. War Documents. 743 {Glass Bottles.)— Mr. Alexander: Industrial trust companies have greatly assisted Continental manufacturers. If the British Government lend their assistance in the future by means of an import duty or otherwise, such companies will be more readily prepared to afford assistance to British manu- facturers. Mr. Barron: Financial aid would be a great help to many manufacturers. {Silversmiths.) Many firms will require assistance after the war, and some protection should be afforded to those who have invested capital in captiu-ing trade formerly in German hands. {Printing.) — Mr. Lake: Regarding financial aid there is a conflict of opinion between the heads of large, well-capitahzed businesses and the heads of small under-capitalized businesses, the former being against and the latter in favour of the granting of such assistance. During the last 20 or 30 years there has been a need for banks to study the wishes of businesses and industries which cannot capitalize them- selves on a basis of 100,000Z. or 200,000^., but which, with a few thousand pounds, migh^ do very good business for the country. Mr. Lacey: The conservative banking system must be dropped if British finance is to give the true help it should give in the coming stern trade war. Board of Trade influ- ence would be of priceless value in starting this movement. It would be easy for the Board of Trade to assist the small trader by promoting organizations in each of the allied countries for the purpose of guaranteeing credit (having the means of ascertaining the risk), and shortening the settlement terms by discounting where necessary. {China and Earthenware.) — Capital and credit are granted to German manufacturers by German banks under Govern- ment control, more freely th^n they are granted to English manufacturers by EngUsh banks, especially now that the old-fashioned banks in provincial towns are disappearing. Hence the German manufacturer is in a better position than his English competitor to develop his business and to give long credit to his customers. {Stationery.) — Manufacturers entering foreign markets, especi- ally Russian, Chinese, and South American, must give very long credits. They would be much assisted by some arrange- ment for the discounting of time bills. The establishment of industrial banks, on the lines of those in Germany, is desir- able. ) — Mr. Dean: Some modification of the terms demanded at the present time by banking companies of industrial concerns requiring financial assistance would greatly aid the expansion of trade. 744 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Mr. Hornby. The toy industry might be strengthened by assistance given by trust companies to small, well-estab- lished concerns. The Government could give very consider- able help by guaranteeing banks (subject to certain condi- tions) for loans made to manufacturers. (Electric Apparatus.) — The British manufacturer gets less assist- ance than the foreign manufacturer from banks and financial houses. Hence there have been carried out by German finns, in British Colonies and Dominions, many engineering schemes of considerable magnitude which could have been equally well undertaken by British firms if the latter could have received similar financial assistance. Moreover there are instances on record {e.g., the Victoria Falls Power Scheme) in which German electrical industry has been largely financed by British capital. Loans to Foreign Countries. There is a fairly general expression of opinion to the effect that in granting loans to foreign countries, we should make it a condition that some of the money raised should be spent in this country; and some witnesses suggest that British industries should receive prefer- ential treatment in connection with money raised for local loans or by taxation. The British Electrical and Alhed Manufacturers' Association make a representation to the following effect: — The attitude of British financiers towards home industries is in direct contrast with that of German financiers who invariably stipu- late that the plant and machinery for the undertakings they assist shall be of German manufacture. British municipalities and public bodies might set an example in this respect, and the Local Govern- ment Board, when sanctioning loans, might stipulate that British industry should receive preferential treatment. British municipali- ties should be assured that in accepting a tender which is not the lowest they will not be surcharged by the Government auditor. Accepting the lowest tender may mean that the contract goes to a foreigner, working under less restriction as to hours of labour, rates of wages, Factory Acts, etc., than the EngUsh contractor. The Association recommend : — (1) That in sanctioning the raising of loans, or taxation, by municipaUties or public bodies, for carrying out works of pubUc utility, the condition be attached that preference must be given to British manufacturers. The amount of preference might, if thought desirable, be limited to, say, 10 per cent., as a check to trade combines. (2) That a similar condition should, if practicable, be attached to colonial and foreign loans raised in this country. The following further representations are made: — {Table Glass.) — Government assistance is desirable (but only during the war) for purchasing raw materials from abroad in bulk, and distributing them to the various factories at the lowest cost. War Documents. 745 (Jewellery.) — British banking facilities in various countries, e.g., Colombia, are inadequate, and banking transactions have to be undertaken by merchant houses — ^usually German, the British merchant houses being "too slow." There are Ixuge possibilities of developing trade with Russia, if financial facilities be afforded, or manufacturers obtain satisfactory guarantees that they will be able to collect their accounts. (5) The Promotion of Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. Exhibitions organized by companies for financial profit, including and encouraging retail stalls, entertainments, and side shows, are not favoured. The value of the exhibition inaugurated by the Board of Trade is highly appreciated, and its continuation is greatly desired. The following suggestions are made: — Board of Trade control is necessary. Future exhibitions should be much better advertised, both in England and abroad. They should be on a larger scale than the last exhibition. They should remain open for at least fourteen days. The pubUc should be excluded. Only real manufacturers should be allowed to exhibit. As regards the printing trade, foreign liianufactured goods should be excluded. Definite information as to date and place of exhibition should be given as long in advance as possible. Foreign buyers should be given such information regarding the scope of the exhibition, hotel accommodation, other attrac- tions in London, etc., as would impel them to pay a visit to London while the exhibition is open. London is the proper place for the exhibition. The exhibition should be held not later than March. (It was also suggested that June or July would be the most favourable time.) It is doubtful whether advisory committees in connection there- with would be of much use. Mr. Lacey suggested that, in addition to the Board of Trade Exhibition, a miniature fair — an exhibition of British goods — should be held, once a year, in each of the world's capitals, with admission by special invitation. The British Electrical and AlUed Manufacturers' Association think that the money spent by the British Government in connection with exhibitions abroad has not greatly benefited British industry, such exhibitions having been held in countries which impose a high import tariff on British goods. They recomend: — (1) That consideration be given to the promotion of trade exhibitions in British Colonies and Dominions, and in countries where the conditions are favourable to British enterprises. 4450—14* 746 ' Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. (2) That efforts be made to establish an annual trade fair in London corresponding to the great Continental trade fairs, and that special facilities for visiting the fairs be given to colonials, and to overseas trade commissioners and other overseas officials who are in a position to influ- ence British trade abroad. Mr. Shenton thinks that it would not be difficult to organize fairs for the whole of the kingdom that would rival, or even surpass, those held in Leipzig. (6) The Protection of British Trade Marks Abroad. (Paper.) — The position of the British paper maker in the matter of water marks requires strengthening. Reference is made to the decision of the French authorities that paper made in France might bear the mark "Papier Anglais." (Stationery.) — It would be of the highest value if the Board of Trade were to assist manufacturers in adjusting equities in matters of foreign trade disputes. A member of the Stationers' Association owns a mark for fountain pens in Japan. A Japanese owns the same trade mark. Thus two firms are permitted to Sell entirely different kinds of fountain pens under the mark "Swan." It would be a costly matter for the member of the Association to take steps to have the Japanese mark expunged, but if there were a system of mutual compromise, the matter might be settled by the British and Japanese Boards of Trade. (Silversmiths).— The Government should protect the registered trade marks of British firms abroad. Our consuls might help British firms, who propose to bring an action in a foreign town for infringement of trade marks, by taking a benevolent interest in the matter and by giving advice as to the best lawyers to engage, and so on. Mr. Bradbury strongly emphasized his view that the Government should take steps to stop the abuse of the British silver hall-marks by American and Canadian manu- facturers, and also by manufacturers in other parts of the world. He handed in advertisements of American firms showing how they adopt the hall-marks of the British Assay Offices as their trade marks. The practice of applying the hall-marks to electro-plated ware is quite prevalent in the United States; Canada is "flooded" with plate made in America and bearing these marks, and consequently the Canadian Government cannot prevent (as they would other- wise do) the use of them by manufacturers in Canada. The matter is one which, in Mr. Bradbury's opinion, certainly does need the earnest consideration of His Majesty's Govern- ment. (Cutlery.) — It is recognized that the Government can hardlj take up the protection of trade marks of individuals, but if War Documents. 747 the Board of Trade would officially prosecute in all cases where foreign goods are made up to pass as English in markets abroad, their action would be immensely popular. (Brushes.) — It would be an advantage if British consuls were British men in all cases. (China and Earthenware.) — The potting industry would benefit by increased protection of trade marks. British trade marks are looked upon abroad as guarantees of excellence of quality. When, as frequently happens, these marks are copied by German manufacturers, inferior goods are foisted on the buyers, who thus form an erroneous conception of the quality of British goods. German trade consequently benefits at the expense of English trade. Our consuls could, by making use of their opportunities for observation a^d enquiry, very materially assist in stamping out this unfair competition. (Mechanical Toys.) An effort should be made to induce the countries that are parties to the present International Convention on Patents to agree that a trade mark once registered in any country shall not be registered by any other party in any other country. Mr. Hornby has experi- enced serious difficulty owing tb his own trade mark having been registered, abroad, by other people. (Printing.) — Mr. Lake suggests the establishment of an inter- national tribunal which would, by one registration, give world-wide protection; or of a system under which the prosecution of claims would be made in the country of the aggrieved party, the loser (or, in case of his bankruptcy, his country) to pay all expenses. Mr. Lacey suggests that in the different countries the principle of reciprocal protection, and no more, implying the power of retaliation for proved offences, would be the best solution. (Electrical Apparatus.) — The British Electrical and Allied Manu- facturers' Association make the following recommendations: — (1) A trade mark should, when possible, be stamped or branded on the article itseK, and not on a detachable label. (2) It is desirable to bring about, if possible, some measure of uniformity in regard to the registration of trade marks within the British Empire, and to render it imnecessary to pay a separate and heavy registration fee in each Colony or Station which trade is carried on. (7) General. Protective Import Duties. (Paper Manufacture.) — ^After the war the trade will again be faced by two of the great difficulties which it encountered in meeting foreign competition in the pre-war period: firstly, 4450—141* 748 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. dumping; secondly, competition arising from the prevalence in cert;ain foreign countries of imduly low wages and in ordinately long horn's. The trade looks to the Government to take effective steps to safeguard it against these. English manufacturers have no objection to meeting prices based on the cost of production, but they object to a price which is artificially less than the cost of production. To render the trade safe against dumping, an import duty of 15 per cent, would be desirable. (Stationery). — It is strongly felt that after the war, the present antagonism to German and Austrian goods will become weakened by attractions of cheapness, as all classes of goods produced in present enemy coxmtries will be dumped here. Of late many factories have been equipped here to produce goods formerly imported, and further developments in this direction would be undertaken but for the feeling of insecurity due to fears of unrestricted dmnping. This fear would be iminediately removed were the Government to formulate and announce some scheme of protection. In giving evidence before the Sub-Committee, Mr. Barringer said: " It would be a very difficult matter for us to make suggestions on the tariff. We are all widely di- vergent in our manufactures." (Jewellers and Silversmiths.) — Some protection should be afforded to those who have invested capital in capturing trade formerly in German hands. One large manufacturer, finding that his silver trade had been almost stopped owing to the war, is making cheap ornaments, such have hitherto been made in Austria-Hun- gary, of copper and soft metal. He has established certain machinery and would put down more, but is afraid that, after the war, the market will be flooded with foreign goods, and that his machinery will be useless. Mr. Bradbury thought that this manufacturer would probably be sufficiently por- tected by a duty of about 15 per cent. (Cutlery.) — Mr. Tyzack: There is extensive dumping of German goods in the United Kingdom. This dumping could be prevented by confiscatia,g, at the port of entry, goods found to be undervalued. Alternatively, it could be stopped by a tariff, but the tariff mu,St be fairly high — 10, 15, or 20 per cent. Mr. Street: As the foreigner is sure to make a great effort to recapture the lost trade after the war, we need a slight measure of protection. (Fancy Leather Goods.) — The trade is strongly convinced that the British manufacturer will not hold his own after the war unless the Government protect him, at least for a time, from direct foreign competition. A prohibitive tariff of, say, 33| per cent, is required for five years. War Documents. 749 (Brushes.)— The, only solution of the difficulties arising from the competition with Germany and AustriarHungary is the imposition of import duties on goods from those countries. Import, duties would also assist the brush manufacturers to maintain developments imdertaken in consequence of present conditions, and the knowledge that such protection would be afforded after the war would encourage them to do more than they are at present justified in doing to develop that section of the trade previously held by Germany and Austria. A permanent duty is desired of 331 per cent, on all foreign- made goods. {Tffys, other than Mechanical.) — Mr. Dean: Our toy trade generally is in jeopardy because of the risk that, directly the war is over the cheapest articles will find their way in. Ger- man manufacturers employ family or home labour-" sweating to the very highest degree." Hence they can produce more cheaply than we can. Apart from the technical skill re- quired the only way of meeting German competition is to institute a tariff on all toys imported, with a higher tariff on toys produced wholly or in part by family or home laboiu-. Generally speaking, an expert could distinguish the latter class of toys. If the importation of enemy goods is not, prohibited altogether for a period of years after the war, with a tariff of 25 or 30 per cent, the trade could, I think be held: family or home labour would not then matter. {Glass Ware Table Glass and Lighting Glass.) — Mr. fiongreve Jackson: Manufacturers are now being urged to capture enemy trade. To do this they must expend much capital. But they can offer no security to investors that, after the war, the additional trade obtained under present conditions will be maintaiaed. It is desirable that German and Austrian glass be entirely excluded for a period of three years after the war. Subsequently a duty of 33| per cent should be imposed thereon. A tariff of 33| per cent should also be imposed on all foreign table glass, with a preference in favour of our Allies. Mr. Williams-Thomas: A duty should be imposed oij German and Austrian manu- factures entering this country (or the Empire) after the cessation of hostilities, and to be effective tlus duty should be prohibitive for a period of five or more years. Unless this is done, the efforts now made to capture enemy trade will, in a great measure, be tiseless. {China and Earthenware.) — Mr. Shenton refers to various advan- tages which German manufacturers enjoy as compared with manufacturers in this country (transport facilities and situ- ation of factories in rural districts where cost of buUding, rates, etc., are low and fuel and labour are cheap), and states that the most efficient way of neutralizing these advantages would be the imposition of a tariff. 750 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. {Mechanical Toys). — Before the war about 90 per cent of the toys in the United Kingdom were imported — mainly from Germany; and there appeared to be no possibiUty of estab- lishing British toy industries to compete with foreign man\ifacturers. Present conditions afford an opportunity created solely by the exclusion of German goods. To take advantage of this opportunity an absolutely prohibitive duty, based on the net cost of production, should be imposed on all foreign mechanical toys, at least until such time as British manufacturers can compete on equal terms. {Printing Trade.) — Mr. Lake: If the position of the British printer is to be maintained after the war, a tariff should be placed on all printed matter imported into the country, and the duty should be made specially heavy on pictorial and colour printing produced from British designs. Mr. Waterlow: The duty on all foreign printed goods should be at least 33f per cent. Mr. Lacey: The trade will not be held permanently unless there be some measure of protection, which mig'.'t also grant preference to allied nations. {Electrical Apparatus.) — The British Electrical and . Jlied Manu- facturers' Association regard the imposition of an import tariff as essential for the satisfactory maintenance of the British electrica,l engineering and allied industries after the war. The text of the Resolution on the subject which has been passed by liie Council of the Association will be found in Part I, Summary No. 5 (Electrical Apparatus), page 11. {Glass Bottles.) — Mr. Alexander: At the present time there is a grave shortage of bottles of all kinds. British manufacturers are doing their best to cope with the situation, but, being apprehensive that, after the war, their position will be precarious, they are afraid to incur the expenditure neces- sary to modernize their works. The best production lixat could be afforded them would be a tariff on foreign-malde bottles Messrs. Thos. Barron, Ltd., think that there ought to be some protective tariff on German and Austrian bottles after the war. [Glass Ware {Flint and Laboratory Ware).] — A special difficulty at the present time is the responsibility of deciding whether to launch out into new lines in view of the danger of German and Austrian dimaping after the waiy. Some form of pro- tection is desirable. On optical and chemical glass a duty of from 25 to 30 per cent would be required for a period of five years. Labour Conditions. {Paper Making.) — The labour bill, for the same class of output, is much the same in Germany as in Bury. Italy has a number of paper mills and these pay very low wages War Documents. 751 "The wage relationship of Japan is an entirely different thing from anything here." {Jewellers and Silversmiths.) — One of the chief reasons for the progress made by the German jewellery trade before the war was th6 German system of art and technical education and apprenticeship. A system of enforced apprenticeship and technical education would be good for this country. In Birmingham it is difficult to induce boys to attend art classes, even if their fees are paid and they are given time to attend the classes in the afternoon; and in the jewellery trade the apprenticeship system has broken down altogether. (Cutlery.) — Reference is made to the better methods and organ- ization of the Germans, and to the superiority of the German to the Sheffield workman in discipline and education. This superiority is partly attributed to the German trade schools. In England the trade has suffered from the resistance of workmen to the introduction of machinery, and from trade union rules as to apprenticeship. It is suggested that a clause should be inserted in contracts stating that the contract was placed at the rate of wages then ruling, and that contractors, in sending in their tender, should pledge themselves not to go beyond the rates agreed as between the employers' associations and the trade unions. {Fancy Leather Goods.) — There is difficulty in getting labour, because trained labour does not exist in this country; manu- facturers have been greatly handicapped because the market has no labour that can help them. Even in normal times the raw material has to be taken. Technical schools barely exist in this trade. It will take years to train workmen in sufficient numbers to produce the variety of goods necessary to compete with German models. {Brushes.) — Japanese tooth-brushes of the cheaper kind can be bought here at less than half the cost of making them here. If employers were given greater freedom, and trade unions were a little more reasonable as regards subdivision and organization of labour and introduction of machinery, a great deal could by done in the brush trade in this country. {Toys, other than Mechanical.) — The establishment of technical schools, where proper training could be given in the numerous branches of industry that ha-v^ sprung up, is absolutely essential to the successful prosecutuon of the new under- takings. It is only by such training that the British manu- facturer can hope to secure supplies of skilled workmen and workwomen to act as overseers and teachers in factories, and thus counteract, in some degree, the competition from Germany which is largely kept alive by the liberal supply of family labour. 752 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. (Glass Ware: Table and Lighting Glass.) — Mr. Congreve Jackson , states that the industry has been declining in this country for the last sixty years. Amongst the causes of the decline he mentions trade union rules, the severity of factory legislation, and the free importation of foreign mould- formed glass produced in protected countries under labour conditions prohibited in England. In France, Belgium, Germany, and Austria boys start work at nine years of age and are employed — particularly in Bohemia — at extremely low wages. Here they may not be employed in the glass-works until they are 13 (until recently, 14) years of age, and they are paid at the rate of 12s.-14s. per week. In Continental glass-works wages generally are much lower, and hours of labour much longer thah in this country. Mr. Webb states that the decline is due to re- strictions on production, high wages of labour, and the free admission of foreign goods. He complains that while a clause is inserted in Government and other contracts to the effect that trade union wages shall be paid in this country, contracts are placed with German and other foreign agents without any stipulation as to rates of wages. (China and Earthenware.) — German manufacturers make use, in winter, of surplus labour eimployed during summer in agriculture. This surplus labour is used to build up huge stocks, and to cover dead expenses. The German manu- facturer is also allowed by his Government to avail himself of home and child labour, the cost of which is notoriously very low. In Germany the average rate of wages is about 25s. M. per week of from 58 to 60 hours. In England the average is 31s. Qd. for 50 hours. (Mechanical Toys.) — -We are deficient in skilled labour, but this can be rapidly acquired. (Printing.) — German workshop organization is better than ours. Longer hours are worked by German than by British workmen, and the former pay more attention than the latter to their work. Wages are slightly lower in Germany than in England. (Electrical Apparatus.) — In 1913 hours of labour were slightly longer in Germany than in England; wages were about the same in the two countries; and the standard of labour was better in Germany. (Glass Ware: Flint Glass and Laboratory Ware.) — The main difficulties in the past — and they will be the same after the war — ^were labour difficulties. Wages in England are higher than on the Continent In France much of the skilled handicraft work is done at home, in the workers' spare time, by family labour No machinery is required, but merely a blow-pipe with foot bellows. In England there are not more than 15 or 20 ^ngUshmen who can War Documents. 753 make the complicated chemical glass ware. The labour cost in that branch of the trade amounts to about 90 per cent of the total cost. There is a scarcity of boy labour. The industry is dominated by trade tinions. Establishment of a Ministry of Commerce {or Industry). (Paper.) The Papermakers' Association express the hope that the relationship now being established between Manufac- turers' Associations and the Board of Trade may result in the creation of a distinct Ministry of Commerce, where practical men of business will be in continuous consultation with the heads of the Government, and the commercial policy of the, country will be clearly defined and effectively organized for the conquest of the world's trade. That De- partment should have commercial and not political brains. (Fancy Leather Goods.) — It is desirable to establish in this country a Minister of Commerce — ^not a politician, but a man of commercial experience and ability. (Electrical Apparatus.) — The manufacturing industries of this country are of sufficient importance to be represented by a Government Department distinct from the Board of Trade, whose functions are not to encourage but rather to regulate and impose conditions on trade. What is needed is a Department which will be sympathetic towards British industry and will champion its cause against any other Department which seeks to impose restrictive conditions. The new Department should also be in a position to act as a tribunal for the settlement of differences arising between different sections of industry. The British Elec- trical and Allied Manufacturers' Association recommend: — ■ That a Government Department (a Ministry of Commerce or a Ministry of Industry), independent of the Board of Trade, should be appointed to represent and encourage the development of British industry That such Department might very suitably be the existing Commercial Intelligence Department of the Board of Trade, responsible to a permanent executive conomittee composed of representatives of all branches of industry, and having sub-committees representing various sections. Mr. Davenport suggested that steps should be taken to establish a Ministry of Commerce or Industry before the war ends. Miscellaneous Representations. *'..* The Sheffield Cutlery Manufacturers' Association state that the Enghsh cutlery trade suffers from the imder-declaration of the value of foreign goods exported to the United States or to the British Colonies. They would welcome an arrangement under which they would pay the cost of any samples which Trade Commissioners or Consuls were able to obtain, if the samples were accompanied by particulars a^ to the foreign manufacturers exporting, with a view to verification of the price at which the goods were valued. 754 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Government coninaittees should be composed of business men, personaiUy conversant with commercial affairs. (British Brush Manufacturers' AssodaUon.) In the export trade, calling upon buyers is the only way to build up trade. United action with travellers representing a trade group, and, if possible, sample exhibits, would capture more trade than any other method. (Mr. J. Johnston Green.) More help should be rendered to the export trade by our Consuls, who, in,this respect, compare unfavourably with German Consuls. Every British Consul should be of British nationality, if a native of this country is available. He should be a commercial man, or have a commercial department; and, in order that he may look properly after commercial interests, he should be adequately remune- rated. (Mr. Lake.) The establishment is suggested of a Central Export Bureau under Government control, from which advice might be obtained as to markets and methods of approaching them (Mr. Lake.) The printing trade should be allowed to express their views prior to increase of postal rates. {Mr. Lake.) Foreign trade attaches might be invited to be our guests. {Mr. Lacey.) " Valuable prizes might be given for essays, etc., on trade promotion. {Mr. Lacey.) The proper study of foreign languages should be encouraged by the State. {Mr. Lacey.) Official records of approved translators in foreign languages and of capable foreign trade consultant experts would be of great value. {Mr. Barringer.) German printing and lithography gained much by having the assistance of the greatest German designers. The Board of Trade should encourage our ablest artists to produce designs, which should be national. {Mr. Lacey.) Closer association should be established between schools of design and workshops. {Mr. Lacey.) The work of printing British designs should be secured for British printers. {Mr. Hill.) An effort should be made to obtain reduced tariffs in the Colonies, for advertising matter which accompanies goods imported for sale in those Colonies. {Mr. Barringer.) The duty charged, in certain countries, on catalogues is very injurious to trade. The system of Trade Conomissioners which is now in force in our Dominions should be extended to the principal foreign countries. {British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association.) The information supplied by Trade Commissioners, &c., should not be distributed broadcast, but should be sent only to the trade associations representing the industry concerned, who would dis- tribute it to the appropriate section. {British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association.) War Documents. 755 A Government inquiry should be instituted to consider the desirability of adopting the system of decimal coinage and the metric system. If it should be decided on the evidence submitted that it would be clearly beneficial to British industry that such system be adopted, suitable legislation should be framed with a view to their general adoption. (British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association.) It is desirable that there should be a convention with the Colonies for the adoption of the metric system. (Mr. Barringer.) Some effort should be made through the Board of Trade to arrange a meeting of traders, to educate them to take full advantage of what the Board are doing for them. (Mr. Davenport.) Our trade directories are defective. {Mr. Burch.) Buyers belonging to English houses who go over to Germany to purchase goods do not buy the goods on their merits, but are influenced by a desire to enjoy a pleasant holiday and the entertain- ment provided for them by German exporters. (Mr. Barringer.) Agents here of German mariufacturets work together to subdue British manufacturers; it is war, not commerce. (Mr. Dean.) Travellers' trading licences, within the Empire, should be prefe- rential as regards British representatives. (Mr. Barringer.) In Germany it is required that all stationery used in Govern- ment and municipal offices, in schools, and in connection with railways and tramways, shall be of German production. It would be advantageous were a similar regulation in force in this country in favour of British goods. (Messrs. Bovmey & Co.) British assay marks on silver are not accepted in Russia, and it is useless for British manufacturers of silver jewellery, &c. to attempt to do business with that country under the present regula- tions. , (Mr. Bradbury.) The dumping of German and Austrian goods might (failing a tariff) be prevented by the following plan: — Each consignment of goods from Germany or Austria to this country should be accom- panied by a declaration by the manufacturer of the goods, or his agent, to the effect that they are not sold at a lower price than would be obtained for them in the domestic market. This declaration should be sworn before a British Consul of British nationality. The Consul should verify the declaration by reference to the manu- facturers' books, and any attempt to evade the conditions imposed should be punished by confiscation of the goods.

CONFERENCE ECONOMIQUE DES ALLIES. Les Repr^sentants des Gouvemements Allies se sent r6unis k Paris, sous la Pr^sidence de M. Cl^mentel, Ministre du Commerce, les 14, 16, 16 et 17 juin 1916, en vue de remplir le mandat que leur a donn6 la Conference de Paris du 28 mars 1916, de mettre en pratique leur solidarity de vues et d'int^rets et de proposer k leurs Gouveme- ments respectifs les mesures propres k r^aliser cette solidarity. II. lis constatent qu'apr^s leur avoir impost la lutte militaire. malgr^ tous leurs efforts pour ^carter le confiit, les Empires du Centre de PEiu-ope preparent aujourd'hui de concert avec leurs Allies, sur le terrain 6conomique, une lutte qui non seulement siu-vivra au r^tablissement de la paix, mais prendra, k ce moment-1^, toute son ampleur et toute son intensity. III. lis ne peuvent, en consequence, se dissimuler que les ententes qui se pr6parent, k cet eflet, entre leurs ennemis, ont pour but Evident d'etablir la domination de ceux-ci sur la production et les marcbis du monde entier et d'imposer aux autres pays une h6gemonie inaccep- table.

(Translation.) ECONOMIC CONFERENCE OF THE ALLIES. I. The representatives of the AlUed Governments have met at Paris under the presidency of M. Cl^mentel, Minister of Commerce, on June 14, 15, 16 and 17, 1916, for the purpose of fulfilUng the mandate given to them by the Paris Conference of March 28, 1916. of giving practical expression to their solidarity of views and interests, and of proposing to their respective Governments the appropriate measures for realising this solidarity. II. They declare that after forcing upon them the military contest in spite of all their e£forts to avoid the conflict, the Empiresof Central Europe are to-day preparing, in concert with their Alhes, for a contest on the economic plane, which will not only survive the re-estabUsh- ment of peace, but will at that moment attain its full scope and intensity. III. They cannot therefore conceal from themselves that the agreements which are being prepared for this purpose between their enemies have the obvious object of establishing the domination of the latter over the production and the markets of the whole world and of imposing on other countries an intolerable yoke. In face of so grave a peril the Representatives of the AUied Governments consider that it has become their duty, on grounds of necessary and legitimate defence, to adopt and realise from now War Documents. 761 onward all the measures requisite on the one hand to secure for themselves and for the whole of the markets of neutral countries full economic independence and respect for soimd commercial practice, and on the other hand to facihtate the organization on a permanent basis of their economic alUance. For this purpose the Representatives of the AUied Governments have decided to submit for the approval of those Governments the following resolutions: — A. Measures for the war period. I. The laws and regulations prohibiting trading with the enemy shall be brought into accord. For this purpose: A. — The Allies will prohibit their own subjects and citizens and all persons residing in their territories from carrying on any trade with: — 1. The inhabitants of enemy countries whatever their nationaUty. 2. Enemy subjects wherever resident. 3. Persons, firms and companies whose business is controlled wholly or partially by enemy subjects or is subject to enemy influence and whose names are included in a special hst. B. — ^They will prohibit the importation into their territories of aU goods originating in or coming from enemy countries. C. — They will devise means of estabhshing a system enabling contracts entered into with enemy subjects and injurious to national interests to be cancelled unconditionally. II. Business undertakings owned or operated by enemy subjects in the territories of the Allies will aU be sequestrated or placed under control; measures will be taken for the purpose of winding up some of these imdertakings and of realizing their assets, the proceeds of such reaUzation remaining sequestrated or under control. III. In addition to the export prohibitions which are necessitated by the internal situation of each of the AUied coimtries, the AlUes will complete the measures already taken for the restriction of enemy supplies, both in the mother countries and in the Dominions, Colonies and Protectorates: — 1. By unifying the Usts of contraband and of export prohibition, and particularly by prohibiting the export of all commodities declared absolute or conditional contraband; 4450—15* 762 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. 2. By making the grant of licenses for export to neutral countries from wljich export to enemy territories might take place conditional upon the existence in such counties of control organizations approved by the AlUes; or, in the absence of such organizations, upon special guarantees such as the limitation of the quantities exported, supervision by Allied consular oflSicers, etc. B. Transitory Measures for the Period of Commercial, Industrial Agricultural, and Maritime Reconstruction of the Allied Countries. The AlUes declare their common determination to ensure the re-establishenmt of the countries suffering from acts of destruction, spoliation, and unjust requisition, and decide to join in devising means to secure the restoration to those countries, as a prior claim, of their raw materials, industrial, and agricultural plant, stock and mercantile fleet, or to assist them to re-equip themselves in these respects. II. Whereas the war has put an end to all the treaties of commerce between the AUies and the Enemy Powers, and whereas it is of essential impd|rtance that, during the period of economic reconstruc- tion which will follow the cessation of hostihties, the liberty of none of the AlUes should be hampered by any claim put forward by the Enemy Powers to most-favoured-nation treatment, the AUies agree that the benefit of this treatment shaU not be granted to those Powers during a number of years to be fixed by mutual agreement among themselves. During this number of years the AlUes undertake to assure to each other, so far as possible, compensatory outlets for trade in case consequences detrimental to their commerce result from the appU- cation of the undertaking referred to in the preceding paragraph. III. The AlUes declare themselves agreed to conserve for the AlUed coimtries, before aU others, their natural resources during the whole period of commercial, industrial, agricultxiral and maritime recon- struction, and for this purpose they undertake to estabUsh special arrangements to facilitate the interchange of these resources. IV. In order to defend their commerce, their industry, their agri- culture, and their navigation against economic aggression resulting from dumping or any other mode of imfair competition, the AUies War Documents. 763 decide to fix by agreement a period of time during which the commerce of the enemy powers shall be submitted to special treatment and the goods originating in their countries sha,ll be subjected either to pro- hibitions or to a special regime of an effective character. The Alhes will determine by agreement through diplomatic channels the special conditions to be imposed during the above- mentioned period on the ships of the enemy powers. V. The Alhes will devise the measures to be taken jointly or severally for preventing enemy subjects from exercising, in their territories, certain industries or professions which concern national defence or economic independence. C. Permanent Mbasukes of Mutual Assistance and Collabora- tion AMONG THE ALLIES. The Alhes decide to take the necessary steps without delay to render themselves independent of the enemy coimtries in so far as regards the raw materials and manufactured articles esteential to the normal development of their economic activities. These steps should be directed to assuring the independence of the Alhes not only so far as concerns their sources of supply, but also as regards their &iancial, commercial and maritime organisation. The Alhes will adopt the methods which seem to them most suitable for the carrjong out of this resolution, according to the nature of the commodities and having regard to the principles which govern their economic policy. They may, for example, have recourse either to enterprises subsidized, directed, or controlled by the Governments themselves or to the grant of financial assistance for the encouragement of scientific and technical research and the development of national industries and resources; to customs duties or prohibitions of a temporary or permanent character; or to a combination of these different methods. Whatever may be the methods adopted, the object aimed at by the Alhes is to increase production within their territories as a whole to a sufficient extent to enable them to maintain and develop their economic position and independence in relation to enemy countries. II. In order to permit the interchange of their products, the Alhes undertake to adopt measures for facihtating their mutual trade relations both by the estabhshment of direct and rapid land and sea transport services at low rates, and by the extension and improve- ment of postal, telegraphic, and other communications. 4450— 15i* 764 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. III. The Allies undertake to convene a meeting of technical delegates to draw up measures for the assimilation, so far as may be possible of their laws governing patents, iadicationfe of origin, and trade marks. In regard to patents, trade marks, and literary and artistic copy- right which have come into existence during the war in enemy countries, the AUies wiU adopt, so far as possible, an identical pro- cedure, to be appHed as soon as hostilities cease. This procedure will be elaborated by the technical delegates of the AlUes. D. Whereas for the purposes of their common defence against the enemy the Allied Powers have agreed to adopt a common economic policy, on the Unes laid down in the Resolutions which have been passed^ and whereas it is recognized that the effectiveness of this poUcy depends absolutely upon these Resolutions being put into operation forthwith, the Representatives of the Allied Governments undertake to recommend their respective Governments to take with- out delay all the measures, whether temporary or permanent, re- quisite for giving fuU and complete effect to this poUoy forthwith, and to communicate to each other the decisions arrived at to attain that object.

Perley, K.C.M.G., Acting High Commissioner for Canada, 17 Victoria Street, S. W. Sir, — I have the honour to request that you will communicate to the Prime Minister of Canada the following resolutions adopted at a special Business Conference of my Council held last month and I need only point out in tliis connection that the Council is composed of the nominated representatives of Chambers of Commerce throughout the world, all the larger and more important Chambers being now affiliated: — War Documents. 765 Natxjealisation of Aliens: "That this Conference affirms the resolution passed by the Association of Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom, which runs as follows: — (a) That in the case of aliens from late enemy countries British citizenship or naturalisation should not be allowed until after twenty years uninterrupted residence under poUce registration and supervision in the British Empire; but in the case of aUens from neutral countries after five years, (b) That the oath of allegiance should be accompanied by an oath of divestment of allegiance to the Power of which the person has hitherto been a subject, preceded by a certificate from the Government of his native - coimtry declaring tha,t he is released from all obligations and allegiance as a citizen thereof". Registeation op Aliens and licenses to tbade. "That legislation should be promoted to prevent enemy subjects, for a period after the War, from engaging in business or taking up employment or domicile within the Empire without special license, and that registration should be compulsory for every alien individual residing within the Empire". CoNTEOL OP Enemy businesses. "That legislation should be enacted by the different Govern- ments within the British Empire under which each Government should have the power to insist on any individuals, firms or companies producing manufacturing or trading within the British Empire being British Controlled both as regards management and ownership. Also that in the event of enemy companies or firms being permitted to reopen or commence trading in any part of the British Empire, they should be subject to such control and inspection as shall make it impossible for them to be used as political agencies under the guise of industrial estabhshments". Double income tax. "While recognising that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has admitted the inj'ustice of the Double Income tax on the same income within the Empire, and has offered sUght rehef in the Finance Bill now before the British Parliament, this Conference strongly urges that further relief to those suffering from these heavy and unjust burdens should be immediately granted by His Majesty's Govern- ment". Assimilation op commercial law. "That in the opinion of this Conference it is desirable that Commercial Law should be codified and assimilated as far as possible throughout the Empire and that each branch of commercial law should be separately dealt with". 766 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Decimal system. "That the British Imperial Council of Commerce be requested by representation to the Imperial and Dominion Governments and otherwise, to make every effort to bring about the adoption through- out the Empire of a uniform decimal system of weights, measures and currency, in order that trade relations with foreign countries may be developed and extended". Enfoecement of judgments and aebkitation awards. "That the Home and Dominion Governments be urged to advance the negotiations now proceeding to a speedy conclusion for the enforcement of judgments and Arbritration Awards in commercial disputes". Scientific research & industrial develoiment. "This Conference urges that throughout the Empire larger funds should be provided by the respective Governments in order that the fullest facilities may be given for the promotion of scientific research and training in their relation to our commercial and indus- trial development".

Have resolved to conclude a new convention for this purpose, and have consequently appointed as their plenipotentiaries: — (Names and styles of plenipotentiaries omitted.) Who, after communication of their fuU powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon the following provisions : — 1. Service of Legal Documents, Contentious and Non-conten- tious. Article 1. In civil or commercial matters the service of docimients destined for persons abroad shall be effected, in the contracting States, at the request of the consul of the demanding State addressed to the authority designated by the State applied to. The request, containing the name of the authority from whom the document enclosed emanates, the names and descriptions of the parties, the address of the recipient, and the nature of the document in question, shall be drawn up in the language of the authority applied to. The latter shall send to the consul the documents proving the service, or explaining the reason which has prevented such service. Any difficulties which may arise in respect of such request by the consul shall be settled through the diplomatic channel. Each contracting State is at liberty to declare, by means of a conmiunication addressed to the other contracting States, that it 767 768 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. requires the request for service within its territory, containing the information mentioned in the first paragraph, to be made to it through the diplomatic channel. The preceding stipulations shall not prevent two contracting States coming to an agreement to allow direct communication between their respective authorities. Article 2. Service shall be effected by the competent authority of the State applied to. Such authority, except in cases provided for by article 3, may Umit its action to effecting service by the transmission of the document to such recipient as may be willing to receive it. Article 3. If the document to be served is drawn up either in the language of the authority applied to, or in the language agreed upon between the two interested States, or is accompanied by a translation in one of these two languages, the authority apphed to, should a wish to that effect be expressed in the request, shall serve the document in the manner prescribed by the municipal law for the service of similar documents, or in a special form, provided it is not contrary to such law. Should such wish be not expressed, the authority applied to shall then endeavour to effect service in the manner provided for in article 2. In default of any agreement to the contrary, the translation provided for in the preceding paragraph shall be certified as correct by the diplomatic or consular agent of the demanding State, or by a sworn translator of the State applied to. Article 4. Service of a document as provided for by articles 1, 2, and 3 can only be refused if the State in whose territory it is to be effected consider it such as to compromise its sovereignty or safety. Article 5. Proof of service shall be furnished, either by means of a receipt, dated and bearing the legalized signature of the recipient, or by a certificate from the authority of the State applied to setting forth the fact, the manner, and the date of such service. If the document to be served has been forwarded in duphcate, the receipt or certificate should appear on one of the copies, or be attached to it. Article 6. Nothing in the provisions of the preceding articles shall affect: 1. The right to send directly by post documents to persons concerned who are abroad; War Documents. 769 2. The right of persons concerned to cause service to be effected directly through the pubUc officers or competent officials of the country for which the documents are destined; ' 3. The right of each state to cause service to be effected directly through its diplomatic and consular agents, of documents intended for persons who are abroad. In each case the right above mentioned only exists, if conven- tions concluded between the interested States allow of it, or if, in the absence of a convention, the State within whose territory service is to be effected does not object. Such State cannot object when in pursuance of paragraph 1 (3) the document is to be served, without constraint, on a subject of the demanding State. Article 7. No claim shall be made for the repayment of fees or costs of any kind in respect of such service . Nevertheless, failing an agreement to the contrary, the State applied to shall have the right to claim from the demanding State repayment of costs incurred through the employment of a ptibhc officer, or through the use of a special procedure provided for in article 3. II. COMMISSIONS ROGATOIRES. Article 8. • In civil or commercial matters, the judicial authority of a con- tracting State may, in accordance with the provisions of its laws, address itself by means of a commission rogatoire to the competent authority of another contracting State, requesting it to undertake,, within its jurisdiction, either an enquiry or any other judicial act. Article 9. Commissions rogatoires shall be forwarded by the consul of the demanding State to such authority as may be designated by the State applied to. The latter shall send to the consul the document proving the execution of the commission rogatoire, or explaining the cause which has prevented its being executed.- Any difficulties which arise in respect of such transmission shall be settled through the diplomatic channel. Each contracting State is at liberty, by means of a communication addressed to the other contracting States, to declare that it requires commissions rogatoires which are to be executed within its territory to be forwarded through the diplomatic channel. Nothing in the above provisions shall prevent two contracting States from arriving, at an agreement for the direct transmission of commissions rogatoires between their respective authorities. 770 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Article 10. Failing an agreement to the contrary, the commission rogatoire shall be drawn up either in the language of the authority apphed to or in the language agreed upon by the interested States, or it shall be accompanied by a translation made in one of these languages, and certified as correct by a diplomatic or consular ofl&cer of the demanding State or by a sworn translator of the State applied to. Article 11. It shall be incumbent upon the judicial authority to whom the commission rogatoire is addressed to give effect to it by the use of the same compulsory measures as in the execution of a commission emanating from the authorities of the State applied to or of a request to that effect made by one of the interested parties. Such com- pulsory measures need not necessarily be employed when it is a matter of the appearance of the parties to the case. The authority making the request, if it so desire, shall be informed of the date and place where the proceedings asked for will take place, in order that the interested party may be able to be present. The execution of a commission rogatoire can only be refused : 1. If the authenticity of the document is not established; 2. If, in the State applied to, the execution of a commission rogatoire does not come within the scope of the judicial power; 3. If the State within whose territory the execution was to have taken place considers it such as to effect its sovereignty or safety. Article 12. In case the authority applied to is without jurisdiction, the commission rogatoire shall be forwarded ojB&cially to the competent judicial authority of the same State, in accordance with the jules laid down by the laws of the latter. Article 13. In every instance in which the commission rogatoire is not executed by the authority applied to, the latter shall at once iaform the demanding authority, stating, as regards article 11, the grounds on which the execution of the commission rogatoire has been refused, and, as regards article 12, the authority to whom the commission has been sent. Article 14. The judicial authority proceeding to the execution of a commis- sion rogatoire will, so far as the procedure to be followed is concerned, apply the laws of its own country. Nevertheless, a request from the demanding authority that some special procedure may be followed shall be acceded to, provided such procedure be not contrary to the laws of the State applied to. War Documents. 771 Aeticle 15. The stipulations of the preceding articles do not effect the right of each State to cause commissions rogatoires to be directly executed by its diplomatic or consular officers, if conventions concluded between the interested States allow of it, or if the State within whose territory the commission rogatoire is to be executed raises no objec- tion. Article 16. No claim shall be made for the repayment of fees or costs of any kind whatsoever in connection with the execution of commissions rogatoires. Nevertheless, failing agreement to the contrary, the State applied to shall have the right to claim from the demanding State the repayment of fees paid to witnesses or experts, as well as of costs incurred by the employment of a public officer, which has been necessary owing to witnesses not having appeared voluntarily, or costs arising out of the eventual application of article 14, paragraph 2, to the case. III.— CAUTIO JUDICATUM SOLVI (SECURITY). Article 17. No security nor deposit, in any form whatsoever, shall be required, either by reason of their being foreigners, or by default of domicile or residence in the country, from nationals of one of the contracting States who are domiciled in one of these States, and who may be plaintiffs or intervening parties before the tribunals of another of such States. The same rule applies in the case of any deposit which might be claimed from plaintiffs or intervening parties to guarantee legal costs. Any convention by which the contracting States may have agreed, on behalf of persons under their jurisdiction, to dispense with security or the deposit of legal costs without regard to domicile shall continue in force. Article 18. Judgments condemning in costs and expenses of the trial delivered m one of the contracting States against a plaintiff or intervener who has been exempted from securitfy^, deposit, or pajonent in pursuance either of article 17, paragraphs 1 and 2, or, of the law of the State in which the action has been commenced, shall, on receipt of a request through the diplomatic chaimel, be rendered executory free of cost by the competent authority in each of the other contracting States. The same rule applies in the case of judicial decisions by which the total of the costs of the trial is fixed subsequently. Nothing in the foregoing stipulations shaU prevent two contract- ing States from agreeing that the request that the judgment may be made executory shall also be made directly by the interested party. 772 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Article 19. Decisions with regard to costs and expenses shall be declared to be in force without the parties being heard, but, failing further steps by the defeated party, in conformity with the laws of the country in which the decision is carried out. The competent authority, .in deciding on the request for the execution of a judgment shall confine itself to examining: 1. Whether, in accordance with the law of the country in which 'the adverse judgment has been delivered, the oflScial copy of such judgment fulfils the necessary conditions to make it authentic ; 2. Whether, according to the same law, such judgment has become res judicata; 3. Whether the operative part of the judgment is drawn up either in the language of the authority applied to or in the language agreed on between the two interested States, or whether it is accom- panied by a translation in one of those languages, and failing agreement to the contrary, certified as correct by a diplomatic or consular agent of the demanding State, or by a sworn translator of the State applied to. In order to comply with the conditions laid down in paragraph 2, Nos. 1 and 2, a declaration by the competent authority of the demanding State, certifying that the judgment has become operative, sTiall suflSce. The jurisdiction of such authority shall, failing agree- ment to the contrary, be certified to by the highest official charged with the administration of justice in the demanding State. The declaration and certificate above alluded to must be drawn up or translated in accordance with the rule laid down in paragraph 2, No. 3. IV.— FREE LEGAL AID. Article 20. Nationals of each of the contracting States shall be allowed, in all the other contracting States, the benefit of free legal aid, in the same manner as natives, on conforming with the laws of the State in which free legal assistance is claimed. Article 2L In every instance, the certificate or declaration of poverty must be given or received by the authorities of the usual residence of the foreigner, or failing this, by the authorities of his actual place of residence. In the event of these latter authorities not belonging to a contracting State and not receiving or giving certificates or declara- tions of this nature, a certificate or declaration given or received by a diplomatic or consular agent of the country to which the foreigner belongs shall suffice. If the applicant is not a resident in the country in which the request is made, the certificate or declaration of poverty shall be legalised free of cost by a diplomatic or consular agent of the country in which the document has to be produced. War Documents. 773 Article 22. The competent authority for delivering the certificate or receiving the declaration of poverty is at liberty to obtain information as regards the financial position of the' applicant from the authorities of the other contracting States. The authority whose duty it is to decide as regards the request for free legal aid retains the right, within the limits of its jurisdiction, of verifyiag certificates, declarations, and information supplied to it. Article 23. Should the benefits of free legal aid have been granted to a national of one of the contracting States, the notifications respecting the same action which may be necessary in another of such States shall only necessitate the repayment by the demanding State to the State applied to of costs incurred by the use of a special form as in the case of article 3. Similarly, the execution of Conamissions rogatoifes shall only necessitate the repayment by the demanding State to the State applied to of expenses paid to witnesses or to experts, as well as of costs incurred tlu-ough the application of article 14, paragraph 2. v.— IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. Article 24. Imprisonment for debt, whether as a means for enforcing a judgment, or as a mere precautionary measure, cannot in a civil or commercial matter be applied to foreigners belonging to one of the contracting States in cases in which it would not be applied to natives. A fact which can be invoked by a native domiciled in the country to obtain release from imprisonment for debt applies equally to the benefit of a native of a contracting State, even if the fact arises abroad. VI.— FINAL PROVISIONS. Article 25. The present convention shall be ratified and the ratifications shall be deposited at The Hague as soon as six of the high contracting parties are in a position to do so.

After this deposit they will always be entitled to adhere, without further formality. The State desiring to adhere notifies its inten- tion by an Act, which will be deposited in the Netherlands Govern- ment's archives.

APPENDIX Z. COMMITTEE ON WAR LOANS FOR THE SMALL INVESTOR. To the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir, — 1. In view of the importance of presenting our conclusions at the earliest possible date in order that action might be taken upon them without delay, and of the fact that various types of experience were represented on the Conmaittee itself, we thought it advisable to restrict so far as possible the taking of evidence. We have, however, heard several witnesses, both men and women, who have given us valuable information from their experience of existing thrift agencies as to the character of investments which are likely to appeal to the working classes. The women witnesses in particular have been of great assistance to us by reason of their knowledge of the conditions of life of working women, who play so large a part both in the spending and in the saving of industrial earnings. , THE NEEDS OF THE SMALL INVESTOR. 2. We have been impressed by the fact that the small investor wishes above all to have as simple a way as possible of disposing of his savings; he does not understand complicated machinery, and he wishes to handle paper as little as possible. In the actual investment he looks for three things : — (a) In the first place, he wishes to be assured that what he saves can be recovered iatact; its capital value must not depre- ciate. It is well known that many Savings Bank depositors who invested years ago through the Post Office in Consols, Irish Land Stock, and Local Loans Stock feel bitterly about the decline in capital value of their holdingSj and regard the State as having broken faith with them. (b) In the second place, he wishes to be able to withdraw his savings at short notice. The financial emergencies of life come upon the working man with startling suddeimess. He may be thrown out of employment, or an iUness or death in the family may result in an iomiediate call. He has not the facilities for credit which the wealthy or even the middle classes enjoy, and money only obtainable at six or twelve months' notice is of little use to him. (c) In the third place, he likes to feel he is earning as much on his money as the large investor. In practice- more importance attaches to the first and second conditions than to the third. But at the same time, it must be remembered that a wide discrepancy between the rate of interest offered to the small and the large lender gives a handle to criticism. The small investor cannot be expected to make due allowance for the difference in value to the State of money at call and of long-date loans, or of large transactions with a low cost of management and small transactions involving high management charges. 4450—17* 793 794 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. THE NECESSITY FOR SAVING AND REDUCTION OF CONSUMPTION BY ALL CLASSES. 3. The objects to be achieved by a successful solution of the problem before us are two : to obtain for the State a certain amount of money for the prosecution of the war, and to reduce general consumption and so lower the present high level of prices, or at any rate check their further rise. Of these two objects, ais we conceive, the second is not the less important. We cannot too strongly urge on all classes of the community the paramount necessity of saving for the successful and efficient prose- cution of the war, and we would emphasise the fact that saving in every item of expenditure not necessary for the efficiency and health of the individual is essential. Ilideed, at the risk of travelling outside our terms of reference, we desire to say that we think that little useful purpose will be served by our recommendations unless other methods are taken to secure this end by drastic taxation calculated to curtail all unnecessary expenditure. We are of opinion that a much greater proportion of the cost of the war should be raised by additional taxation, more particularly of the wealthier portion of the community. Some of the things we need for carrying on the war can be got from abroad by money obtained from people outside the Empire who are willing either to lend us money or to buy part of our capital possessions; but by far the larger part must be produced at home, or paid for by services rendered by this coimtry. Our necessities, therefore, can only be supplied by economising the con- sumption of other things, and so setting free labour and capital to produce what is needed for the war. Millions of men have been withdrawn from productive employment to fight our enemies and to equip and supply those who are fighting; the remainder of the population must produce as much and consume as little as possible. 4. As a race we are generally inclined more to expenditure than to saving, and the temptation to spend is at its strongest among those who have received a sudden and substantial rise in income and who find themselves with an appreciable margin of income over what is required for the actual necessities and minimum comforts of life. The desire for a better standard of life, especially amongst those who are working harder and feel entitled to enjoy the fruits of their . labour, commands universal sympathy. But at the present time, when something like half the population are engaged in fighting or in war-work, and the remaining half have to produce the things necessary to satisfy the daily needs not only of themselves but of the fighters and the "war-workers," it is clear that the high wages and high profits of certain industries, so far from affording proof of genuine prosperity, merely represent an artificial accumulation of spending power in the hands of individuals, which if exercised will force up prices against th'e 'rest of the community still higher until they reach a disastrous level. From the point of view of the community as a whole, economy of consumption amongst all classes in war time is vital. From the point of view of the individual worker^ self-denial at the moment will provide him with a fimd which will be of great help to him in War Documents. 795 the difficult times which must inevitably follow the war. From the point of view of the workers as a class the accumulation of savings wiU strengthen their position in the future. But apart from any question of self-interest or class interest, the fact remains that money is required from all classes for the actual conduct of the war. It is to motives of patriotism rather than of self-interest that the Govern- ment ought and is entitled to appeal and we think that it is upon this broad ground — ^with an assurance that what is lent will actually be used for the equipment and supply of our fellow countrymen holding the trenches and keeping the high seas — that the appeal should be made. THE AMOUNT AVAILABLE FOR SAVING AMONG SMALL INVESTORS. 5. While the necessity for saving is clear, the extent to which the poorer classes of the community really possess surplus income which has not yet been tapped is more uncertain. It is easy to exaggerate the amount of increased earnings available for saving, and sometimes consideration of conspicuous examples leads people to forget the large number of those who are, either through depression in their trade or the increase of prices and of taxation, no farther from the margin of subsistence than they were in peace time. On the other hand, after making due allowance for this fact, it is to be remembered that the unit of income for our purpose must be taken to be the family income, and that the chances of augmenting the family income have in the last few months been very exceptional. Women, boys, girls, elderly men are all being employed on a scale hitherto unknown; many women in receipt of separation allowances are earning good wages in addition; even old-age pensioners are in some cases now in receipt of substantial wages. For this reason, even when the normal wage- earner of a family is enjoying no increase in real wages, and is perhaps actually suffering from a decrease, the family may have surplus income. THE IMPORTANCE OF ORGANISATION. 6. In making an appeal for savings, propaganda and organisation are all important for success. The would-be investor should not,, if it can be avoided, be left to seek for an uivestment; facilities for in- vestment should be provided by agencies in close touch with him, and these agencies, having succeeded in inducing him to save, should, endeavour, by careful propaganda and by thorough organisation, to persuade him to make the continuance of saving a matter of habit. There are many advantages in placing an agency which can coUeet and in some cases invest and manage savings between the small investor and the State. In the case of one such agency brought to our notice the staff and workpeople of a company are combining to set aside a part of their earnings weekly, and the savings are invested in Exchequer bonds. By such means the need and possi- bility of saving are brought home intimately to the worker; the, State, being relieved of the care of innumerable small accounts which are excessively costly to manage in proportion to the value of the 4450—171* 796 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. money lent, economises in labour and expenditure; new savings are attracted without great danger of a mere transfer of existing savings; and, finally, the employment of either voluntary or paid collectors is faciUtated. VOLUNTARY SAVING ASSOCIATIONS. 7. There is no reason why similar schemes should not be exten- sively adopted by employers of labour, committees of workmen, and by other bodies formed specially for the purpose. Lords Lieu- tenant the Mayors and Provosts of MunicipaUties, and Chairmen of Urban District Councils for instance, might interest themselves in the formation of strong local bodies to work on similar lines. Friendly societies, trade unions, co-operative societies, and other suitable bodies existing or formed for this purpose might all formulate .schemes for their own particular chent^les. The War Savings Associations formed on these Unes might be of two distinct types: (a) agencies whose work is confined to the collection of direct subscriptions to Government securities, (6) investment societies in the full sense, themselves accepting subscrip- tion from their members and investing such subcription in Govern- ment securities to be held by the society. As regards the former type we recommend that in order to protect the public approved agencies should be given official recognition as collectors on behah of the Government, upon condition that they pay over to the Government at least weekly all sums collected. Interest at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum might be allowed upon the amounts paid over as from the date of receipt of the money by the Government up to the date of issue of the corresponding securities. This would assist the agencies in defraying any necessary expenses or enable them to allow interest on the instalments paid to them. The latter type, the investment society, presents more difficult problems. In this case the Government enters into no contractual relation with the individual investor, who must look to the society for the carrying out of the bargain which he makes with it. The Government clearly cannot be asked to guarantee the performance of the obhgations w;hich the society undertakes, unless the Government nbt only assumes complete control over the schemes adopted but also supervises in detail the actual administration of the societies themselves. The organisation of such control and supervision would require the creation of a new Government Department for which, apart from the question of the expense involved, it would be. difficult to obtain suitable staff at the present time. Further, we fear that the rigidity of procedure which such a system would almost necessarily involve would be fatal to the free local initiative on which the success of the schemes will depend. On the other hand, if societies, many of which will have at their command no expert financial knowledge, are left free to develop schemes without supervision or control, some of them are not unlikely to become insolvent. War Documents. 797 The problem is to obtain the best safeguards which can be secured for the financial soundness and the efficient administration of the different schemes while leaving the responsibility for both administration and results with the societies themselves. The solution will, we think, be found in appointing a strong central committee, to which the various societies can be affiliated. The Committee might conveniently be appointed by the Government, and in view of the importance to the community of the functions it would discharge, its expenses might pro^perly be met by a parlia- mentary grant. But once aippbinted, the Committee should be regarded not as representing the Government, but as an independent body of experts acting on behalf of the societies themselves. Its duties would be primarily of an adviptory character, but it could properly refuse to recognise any society the constitution and rules of which it did not approve, and withdraw recognition from any society which might fail to satisfy the Committee that it was being properly administered. The committee could, if it saw fit, organise a system of inspection and audit of the operations and accounts of the affiliated societies, and by these means secure a very substantial measure of control over their operations. For the guidance of societies seeking affiliation, the Committee, m consultation with the committee which we propose should be appointed for propagandist work, should formulate and publish model schemes of different types suitable for particular kinds of societies. The securities in which the funds of the societies are to be invested should, however, be clearly defined by the Treasury. As the object is to obtain money for the prosecution of the war, the list of authorised investments should be restricted as far as possible to the particular securities which are being issued by the Government at the time the investments are made. Exchequer Bonds and the War Savings Deposit scheme proposed below will, we beheve, be found to be. the most convenient general basis for the finance of such societies. Whatever margin of liquid resources any particular scheme may require could be held in the form of Treasury Bills or placed in the Saving Bank. To meet the requirements of the smaller associations, we recommend that special arrangements be made for the issue of Treastury Bills in smaller denominations than IjOOOZ. to such associations only. To control the distribution of the resources of each society as between the different types of securities with due regard to the facihties for withdrawal offered to its members would be one of the most important functions of the Central Committee. To give effect to these recommendations it will be necessary — (a) to appoint a committee to undertake propagandist work and to promote the formation of agencies and invest- ment societies; (6) to set up a Central Committee to advise upon and approve the financial details of schemes for Investment Societies and to supervise their working; 798 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. (c) to establish the necessary departmental machinery for the official recognition of Collecting Agencies, for securing the due pasrment to the Government of the amounts collected, and for the issue and distribution to the individual investors of the securities subscribed for through these channels. To secure the necessary co-ordination between the committees and the department concerned it is important that the personnel of the two committees should have a common .element and that the administrative department should be represented on both com- mittees. 8. Doubtless, however, not all those who can save on a small scale can be fitted into a form of organisation, and our task has, therefore, been twofold, to furnish a form of investment which may serve as a financial basis for associations of savers, and to provide for the individual. SCHEMES FOR THE INDIVIDUAL. 9. In an interim report we suggested that the existing Umits on Savings Bank deposits should be removed for the period of the war, and that Exchequer Bonds of 51. and other denominations inter- mediate between 51. and lOOZ. should be provided. These recom- mendations have been put into effect, and provision has thus already been made for the individual who can iuvest as much as 51. Those who cannot invest 51. at once may be able to save 51. in a reasonably short time; we think, however, that their case is sufficiently met by the existing Savings Bank machinery by means of which they can place their accumulating savings in the Savings Bank until they reach the required amount. 10. There remains the case of those, both children and adults, whose savings must be more modest in amount, and whose aim must be directed to saving a sum which is nearer IZ. than 51. In their case above all others the prime necessity is to provide some simple and easily intelligible scheme of saving small amounts by instalments. We hope that in the scheme printed in the Appendix we have satisfied the requirements of this class. Under this scheme they would be able to accumulate their savings until they amounted to 15s. 6d., and the deposits would then accumulate at 5 per cent, compound interest, until at the end of five years the depositor would be entitled to receive 11. Facilities for withdrawal would be given if the money is required before the end of the period, under which the capital would be returned with a certain amount of interest if a year has elapsed since the date of deposit. We propose that the accumulated interest under this scheme should be entirely free of income tax, so that all formalities in regard to deduction and recovery or proof of exemption or title to abatement may be dispensed with. This privilege would, however, be so War Documents. 799 valuable to persons liable to income tax as to make deposit xmder the scheme, if open to income-tax payers generally, so preferential a form of investment that it would be resorted to upon a scale likely to have very serious consequences to the revenue. We therefore propose that the scheme should be confined to persons whose total income from aU sources does not exceed 300Z. a year. Even with this limit, the advantage of the income tax exemption in the case of incomes approaching 300Z. is very considerable, but as we are hopeful that a large part of the money obtained from this class will represent new savings, we think that the sacrifice of revenue can be justified on this ground. INTEEEST ON SAVINGS BANK DEPOSITS. 11. We do not recommend any increase in the rate of interest allowed on ordinary Savings Banks deposits. The allowance upon money at call of any rate of interest approximating to 5 per cent, might involve such serious consequences that it could not be contem- plated as a practical proposition, while a moderate increase in the existing rate would result in imposing a heavy charge upon the taxpayer in respect of the 250,000,000Z. of existing deposits without, so far as we can judge, attracting any appreciable amour + of new money. Although 21 per cent, might appear to be a low return upon money payable on demand under the conditions, of the present moment, it must be remembered that institutions such as the savings banks cannot adjust their rates from time to time according to prevailing market conditions, but must adopt a rate which, taking one period with another, will preserve its financial stability. The experience of the past has shown that 2| per cent, is fuUy as high a rate as the State can afford to pay under these conditions, and haviQg regard to the fact that savings bank depositors as a class look to the safety and accessibility of their capital much more than to the interest paid, we do not think that a case has been made out for increasing it. We are confirmed in this conclusion by the consideration that even if the policy of increasing the rate resulted in large new deposits, the possibility of large withdrawals after the war might be a serious embarrassment to pubUc finance, and though we think that the right to withdraw upon demand is essential to the popularity of any scheme for attracting working-class savings, we consider that the exercise of the right should be discouraged by making the terms of with- drawal before the end of a fixed period less attractive than those of continuing the deposit to the end of the period. This is achieved by the scheme set out in the Appendix to this Report. BONUS BONDS. 12. All the suggestions made above accord generally with the recognised canons of public finance in this country. Two other 800 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. suggestions of a more novel character have, however, been put before us. 13. It has been suggested that many of the diflSculties inherent in an attempt to attract savings might be surmounted by a scheme under which a comparatively low rate of interest would be allowed, and the difference between that and the full rate which the Government could afford to pay would, after deducting expenses, be accumulated and awarded in the form of prizes or bonuses to particular depositors chosen by annual drawings. The investor, under such an arrange- ment, is certain of the return of his capital. If he fails to win a prize, he does not lose his capital; on the contrary, his capital is secure, and he receives a moderate rate of interest. 14. "Bonus Bonds" would probably be a very attractive form of investment and very considerable sums might be obtained by an issue of this character. But on the other hand, objection would not improbably be taken by a section of the community to any proposal in which the element of chance is involved, and as opinion in the Committee was somewhat sharply divided we are not able to make any reconmiendation on the subject. COMPULSOEY LOANS. 15. The other unusual method of which a word must be said is a compulsory loan . Such a loan, so far at any rate as the working classes are concerned, would necessarily have to take the form of a deduction from income. Any scheme of this character could clearly not be confined to the wage-earning classes, but must form part of a plan for a general levy by way of loan upon all incomes. That such a scheme would produce any app!reciable amount of money within the lower ranges of income we venture to doubt. Indeed, the various allowances which would have to be made to meet indivi- dual circumstances might well reduce the yield to insignificance. So far as incomes above 130/!. a year are concerned, a compulsory levy of 5s. in the £ (in addition to the income tax), with the same scale of exemptions and abatements as those now in force for income tax, would yield appproximately 200,000,000Z., of which it has been estimated that not less than 75 per cent, would be in diminution of subscriptions to voluntary loans. Even if the levy were extended to weekly incomes between, say, 11. and 21. 10s. (the present "income tax minimum), and the scale of abatements were made to correspond, it seems to us to be very improbable that the additional amount which would be thereby obtained would be sufficiently substantial to justify the very great hardships which even the most carefully adjusted plan would Undoub- tedly entail in numberless cases or the enormous cost of administra- tion which it would involve. 16. The machinery for such a loan, at any rate so far as persons in receipt of salary or wages are concerned, is no doubt at first sight War Documents. 801 very simple. Employers might be required to pay a certain percent- age of salaries or wages, or a certain percentage of the amount by which salaries or wages exceeded a fixed minimum, in the form of War Loan Vouchers. It would, however, be essential that such vouchers should be made non-negotiable until a fixed date after the conclusion of peace. If the recipients were allowed to dispose of them freely for what they would fetch, a few weeks would suffice to see the credit of the Government at such a discoimt that any future borrowing on a voluntary basis would be irretrievably prejudiced, while the workman would regard his wages as reduced by the amount of the loss which he would have to bear if he realised his vouchers. Fm-ther, the vouchers would undoubtedly pass into use for purposes of currency, and if, as would probably happen unless they were made legal tender, they circulated at a discount, notwithstanding that they carried mterest, they would rapidly discredit the existing paper currency. If they were made legal tender for their face value, they would first drive out of circulation the existing currency notes, and so deprive the Government of the advantage of the existing non-interest-bearing currency debt of about 70 millions, and then expose us to all the mischief of an excessive issue of inconvertible paper. If, on the other hand, the vouchers are made non-negotiable until after the end of the war, the levy would (so far as its immediate effects are concerned) be indistinguishable from an income tax, and so many adjustments would be required to meet the circums- tances of different individuals, that any scheme of percentage payment of salaries and wages in war vouchers would be administratively impossible. Finally, it would be represented as unwise to attempt compulsion until it was clear that voluntary means had failed. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS. 17. We have already recommended: — (i) The removal for the period of the war and six months thereafter of the restrictions on the amount deposited by any one depositor in the Savings Banks. "(ii) The issue of Exchequer Bonds in denominations of hi., 20Z., and 50Z., and the provision of facilities for the registra- tion of such bonds at Post Offices. We now further recommend: — (iii) The organisation on an extensive scale of voluntary saving associations. (iv) The issue to such associations only of Treasury Bills in smaller denominations than 1,000Z. (v) The adoption of the instalment scheme set out in the Appendix to this Report. kt tit.:.- 802 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada.

Sir, In signing the foregoing report we desire to give a general assent to the recommendations of the Committee, so far as they go, but we are of opinion that, in view of the present grave national crisis, they do not go far enough. We desire, therefore, to make the following reservation: — We regret that no more remunerative scheme has been recommended to attract the savings of the small depositor. The report admits that the small investor "likes to feel that he is earning as much on his money as the large investor." We think that more should be done to satisfy this desire, and that the State could well afford to support a scheme already considered by the Committee under which 5 per cent, would be paid on aU deposits withdrawable at three months' notice, and 10 per cent, of which would be withdrawable at seven days' notice without diminution of interest. The National Credit has stood at the back of a great many existing institutions since the war began. In the best interests of the nation ia the present crisis, and of the workers after the war, the National Credit might well be used again to induce saving amongst the wage-earners at remunerative interest. Some of the largest industrial organisations in the country are successfully run with the capital of working men, which is withdrawable at short notice, and on which remunerative interest is paid.

Correspondence with the United States Ambassador respecting the "Trading with the Enemy (Extension of Powers) Act, 1915." NO. 1. Mr. Page, United States Ambassador in London, to Sir Edward Grey. Ameeican Embassy, London, January 26, 1916. Sir, — ^With reference to the Act of Parliament entitled "Trading with the Enemy (Extension of Powers Act, 1915," given Royal approval on 23rd December last, I have the honom- to set forth herewith the views of my Goverimaent in this regard. The Secretary of State has given consideration to the Trading with the Enemy Act of 23rd December last, the apparent object of which is to prevent any person doing business in the United Kingdom from trading with enemies of Great Britain, or persons having enemy associations in any other part of the world, and has reached the con- clusion that this Act is pregnant with possibilities of undue inter- ference with American trade; if, in fact, such interference is not now being practised. As the Secretary of State is inclined to share the opiaion generally held in the United States that in the framing of this Act the right of persons domiciled in the United States — ^whether American citizens or subjects of the countries at war with Great Britain — to carry on trade with persons in belhgerent countries has been overlooked, and that the exercise of this right may be subject to denial or abridg- ment in the course of the enforcement of the above-mentioned Act, the Government of the United States is constrained to express to His Majesty's Goverment the grave apprehensions which are enter- tained on this subject, both by it and by traders domiciled in the United States. It has therefore been thought necessary to bring these views to the attention of His Majesty's Government, and to present a formal reservation of the right of the Government of the United States to protest against the application of this Act in so far as it affects the trade of the United States by imposing restrictions upon its freedom. I have, etc., WALTER HINES PAGE. 804 War Documents. 805 No. 2. Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Page. Foreign Office, February 16, 1916. Your Excellency, — I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's note of the 26th ultimo relative to the possible effects of the "Trading with the Enemy (Extension of Powers) Act, 1915," on United States commerce. The Act was framed with the object of briaging British trading with the enemy regulations into greater harmony with those adopted by the French Government since the commencement of the war, by applying in some degree the test of nationahty in the determina- tion of enemy character, in addition to the old test of domicile, which experience has shown cannot provide a sufficient basis under modern commercial conditions for measures intended to deprive the enemy of all assistance, direct or indirect, from national resources. His Majesty's Government reahzed, however, that the appli- cation of this principle to its fullest extent, while entirely legitimate and in accordance with the practice of other countries might, if applied at the present time to commercial activities as widespread as those of British subjects, involve avoidable inconvenience and loss to iimocent traders. They were careful, therefore, in devising the necessary legisla- tion, not only to avoid any definition which would impose enemy status upon all persons of enemy nationafity and associations, but also to take powers of discrimination which would enable them to apply the purely commercial restrictions contemplated only in regard to those persons from whom it was necessary in British iaterests to withhold the faciUties afforded by British resources. His Majesty's Government have therefore abstained from a course of action admittedly within their rights as beUigerents, which is not only the existing practice of the French Government, but in strict accordance with the doctrine openly avowed by many other States to be the basis upon which their trading with the enemy regulations would be founded in the event of war, and have confined themselves to passing a piece of purely domestic legislation empower- ing them to restrict the activities and trade of persons imder British jurisdiction in such a manner and to such an extent as may seem to them to be necessary in the national interest. His Majesty's Government readily admit the right of persons of any nationality resident in the United States to engage in legiti- mate commercial transactions with any other persons. They cannot admit, however, that this right can in any way limit the right of other Governments to restrict the commercial activities of their nationals in any manner which may seem desirable to them by the imposition of prohibitions and penalties which are operative solely upon persons under their jurisdiction. In claiming this right, which appears to them to be inherent in sovereignty and national independence. His Majesty's Government 806 Department of the Secretary oj State, Canada. desire to assure the United States Government that they will exercise it with every possible care to avoid injury to neutral commerce, and they venture to think that the voluntary limitation of their powers by the terms of the "Trading with the Enemy (Extension of Powers) Act, 1915," is evidence of their desire and intention to act with the greatest possible consideration for neutral interests. I have, etc., E. GREY. APPENDIX BB. Miscellaneous. No. 5 {1916). Correspondence with the United States Ambassador respecting the Treatment of Mails on Neutral Vessels. No. 1. Memorandum communicated by Mr. Page, January 10, 1S>16. The Government of the United States is informed that His Britannic Majesty's authorities have removed from the Danish steamer "Oscar II" 734 bags of mails en route from the United States to Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, and that His Majesty's port authorities have also removed from the Swedish steamship "Stock- hohn" 58 bags of mail en route from Gothenburg to New York; that 5,000 packages of merchandise, American property, were seized by the British authorities on the Danish steamer "United States" on her latest voyage to the United States, and that the authorities ai Kirkwall on the ISth December last seized 597 bags of parcels mail carried by the steamship "Frederick VIII" and manifested for Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Other similar cases might be men- tioned, such as that of the steamship "Helig Olav." The Government of the United States is inclined to regard parcels-post articles as subject to the same treatment as articles sent by express or freight in respect of belligerent search, seizure, and condemnation; but, on the other hand, the American Government holds tlhat parcels-post articles are entitled to the usual protection of neutral trade, and that its previous protests touching the various methods and instances of interference with such trade are apphcable equally to any interference with the transmission of commodities by the parcels post. The Government of the United States is also informed that on the 20th December last the D utch vessel ' ' Noorderdyke ' ' was deprived in the Downs of American mail despatched from the United States to Rotterdam, and that these n^ails may still be held by the British authorities; and, furthermore, that on the 23rd December last the whole of the mail carried by the steamship "New Amsterdam" from the United States to the Netherlands was removed by His Majesty's authorities from that ship. Since the "New Amsterdam's" mails included the American diplomatic pouch to the Netherlands, it seems possible that even this official bag may have been subjected to delay. The cases of the steamers "Rotterdam" and "Eiihrok" might also be mentioned. The Government of the United States is unable to admit the right of His Majesty's authorities forcibly to bring into port neutral vessels plying directly between American and neutral Eiu-opean ports without intention of touching at British ports and there to remove or 807 808 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. censor mails carried by them. Modern practice generally recognises that mails are not to be censored, confiscated, or destroyed on the high seas, even when carried by belligerent mail ships, and it seems certainly to follow that to bring mail ships within British jurisdiction for purposes of search alid then to subject them to local regulations allowing a censorship of mails cannot be justified on the ground of national jurisdiction. In cases where neutral mail ships merely touch at British ports the Government of the United States believes that His Majesty's authorities have no right in international law to remove the sealed mails or to censor them on board ship, since mails on such ships never rightfully come into the cUtetody of the British mail service, which is entirely without responsibility for their transit or safety. As a result of British action public feeling is being arousedin the United States through the loss of valuable letters, and foreign banks ate refusing to cash American drafts owiug to the absence of any assurance that they will travel safely in the mails. Moreover, the possible detention of official mails is an aggravating circumstance in a practice which affects American public opinion as being vexatiously inquisitorial atid without compensating military advantage to Great Britain. The Government of the United States very urgently presses for the early application of an effective remedy. American Embassy, London, January 10, 1916. No. 2. Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Page.

On salt egalement que, moyen nant I'apposition de timbres d'affranclussement, toute enve- loppe ferm^e, quels que soient son contenu, son poids ou son volume, pent ^tre expediee par la poste et est trait^e, par les administrations postales, comme une lettre. La repercussion de la guerre sur cet etat de choses donne lieu aux observations suivantes: Lors de la deuxieme Conference de La Haye, en 1907, le Gouverne- ment Imperial aUemand a expos6 que, la tel6graphie offrant aux belligerants des moyens de com- munication autrement rapides et sntrebande de guerre, en trompant apparemment la bonne foi des administrations postales.

The following letter from the German firm of G. Vogtman and Co. (dated the 15th December, 1915, from 16, Gltockengiesser- wall, Hamburg) is particularly instructive. (Translation.) "For a certain time we have been receiving regularly from Para consignments of raw rubber, and you might give your atten- tion to this matter. The con- signments are sent as registered 'samples without value,' about 200 packets come by each mail, and each package contains about 320 grammes net of rubber. The trouble of making up the packets and the high cost of postage are largely covered by the high price which the goods fetch here." It is known that on the 15th December, 1915. raw rubber, which had been taken over com- pletely by the German State authorities, was worth about 25 marks the kilogramme, and that, as the Hambiu-g merchant added, " ein guter Verdienst nicht ausgeschlossen ist " (" there is a chance of a good profit "). Enemy trafllc, deprived of the mastery of the seas, has thus been brought to hide itseK under postal covers, so as to get all kinds of goods, even contraband of war, to go through, the postal administrations of neutral States being apparently deceived. From the legal point of vievr, the exercise of the belligerent right of poUcing and examining sWps on the high seas, and especially what is found on board has never, to the knowledge of the Allied Governments, been 814 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. plus en ce qui concerne les sacs poptaux qu'en ce qui concemetoute autre cargaison; bien plus, jus qu'en 1907, les lettres et dep^ches 6taient elles-m^mes sujettes k saisie et confiscation. Par la Convention N°- 11 de La Haye et pour les motifs ci-dessus rappel^s, les Puissances signataires ont renonce k saisir ainsi les d6- p^ches et declare la correspondance postale inviolable. Cette inviolability n'a d^roge au , ■droit commun qu'en ce qui con- cerne la " correspondance," c'est- A-dire les d^peches ou " lettres missives," parce que, conune on I'a vu, on a pens^ a tort ou k raison que les belligerants ayant par le t^l^graphe dp meilleurs moyens de correspondre, les correspondanceS par la poste 6taient sans int^ret pom- la guerre. II en resulte, d'une part, que I'inviolabilit^ est sans applicaition k toutes expeditions postales qui'Ue sont pas des " cor- respondances,"c'est-a-dire,"lettres missives"; et d'autre part, que ce sei^ait donner k cette inviola- bility une port^e qu'elle n'a pas, si on voulait y voir jusqu'^ une exemption de tout controle des articles et objets exp^di^s par la poste, fussent-ils de la contrebande de guerre. Dans ces conditions, les Gou- vernements allies font savoir: . 1. Que, au point de vue de leur droit de visite, et 6ventuellement d'arrit et de saisie, les marchan- dises expedites sous forme de colis postaux n'ont pas a etre et ne seront pas trait^es autrement que les marchandises expedites sous toute autre forme; 2.

By the 11th Hague Convention and for the reasons above men- tioned, the signatory Powers re- linquished the jight of thus seizing despatched and declared all postal correspondence to be in- violable. This inviolabihty marks a de- partm-e from the common law only as regards " correspond- ence," that is to say, despatches or " letters " (" lettres missives"), because, as has been seen, it was thought, rightly or wrongly, that, belhgerents having better means of conununication by tele- graph, postal correspondence was without interest for war purposes. It follows that, on the one hand, the inviolabihty does not apply to anything sent through the pofet that is not " correspondence," that is to say, " letters " {"lettres missives ") ; and that, on the other hand, it would be giving to this inviolabihty a wider appH- cation than it actually has if it were held to confer exemption from all examination on articles sent by post, even if they were contraband of war. In these circumstances the Alhed Governments declare: — 1. That as regards their right of visit and search, and eventu- ally of detention and seizure^ goods sent in the form of postal parcels are not entitled to, and wUl not receive, other treatment than goods sfent in any other way; 2. That the iaviolabihty of postal correspondence laid down by the 11th Hague Convention of 1907, detracts in no way from War Documents. 815 au droit des Gouvernements allies de visiter et s'il y a lieu, d'arreter et saisir les marchandises qui sont dissimul^es dans les plis, enve- loppes ou lettres contenus dans les sacs postaux. 3.

Note from the United States Government regarding the Examina- tion of Parcels and Letter Mails. [In continuation of "MisceUaneous, No. 9 (1916)": Cd. 8223.] Mr. Lansing to Sir C. Spring-Rice. — (Communicated to Foreign Office, June 5, 1916.) Washington, May 24, 1916. Excellency, — 1. I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's note of the 3rd April last, transmitting a memor- andum, dated the 15th February, 1916, and communicated in sub- stance to the American Ambassador in London on the 28th February, in which are stated the contentions of the British and French Govern- ments in regard to the right to detain and examine parcel and letter mails en route by sea between the United States and Europe.* 2. After a discussion of the use of the mails for the transmission of "parcels" and of the lunitations to be placed on " inviolable mail," the joint memorandum of the 15th February closes with the following assertions: — "(1) That from the standpoint of their right of visitation and eventual arrest and seizure, merchandise shipped in post 'See "Miscellanepus, No. 9 (1916)." :818 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. parcels need not and shall not be treated otherwise than mer- chandise shipped in any other manner. "(2) That the inviolability of po&tal correspondence stipu- lated by the Eleventh Convention of The Hague of 1907, does not in any way affect the right of the Allied Governments to visit and, if occasion arise, arrest and seize merchandise hidden in the wrappers, envelopes, or letters contained in the mail bags. "(3) That true to their engagements and respectful of genuine "correspondence" the Allied Governments will continue, for the present, to refrain on the high seas from seizing and con- fiscating such correspondence, letters, or despatches, and will ensure their speediest possible transmission as soon as the sincerity of their character shall have been ascertained." 3. In reply the Government of the United States desires to state that it does not consider that the Postal Union Convention of 1906 necessarily applies to the interference by the British and French 'Governments with the oversea transportation of mails of which the Government of the United States complains. Furthermore, the AlUed Powers appear to have overlooked the admission of the Govern- ment of the United States that post parcels may be treated as mer- chandise subject to the exercise of belligerent rights as recognized by international law. But the Government of the United States does not admit that such parcels are subject to the "exercise of the rights of police supervision, visitation, and eventual seizure which belongs to belligerents as to all cargoes on the high seas" as asserted in the joint note under acknowledgment. 4. It is noted with satisfaction that the British and French Governments do not claim, and in the opinion of this Government, properly do not claim, that their so-caUed "blockade" measures are sufficient grounds upon which to base a right to interfere with aU classes of mail matter in transit to or from the Central Powers. On the contrary, their contention appears to be that, as "genuine corre- spondence" is under conventional stipulation "inviolable," mail matter of other classes is subject to detention and examination. While the Government of the United States agrees that "genuine correspondence" mail is inviolable, it does not admit that beUigerents may search other private sea-borne mails for any other purpose than to discover whether they contain articles of enemy ownership carried on belligerent vessels or a/rticles of contraband transmitted under sealed cover as letter mail, though they may interc(^j^t at sea all mails coming out of and going into ports of the enemy's coasts which are effectively blocka,ded. The Governments of the United States, Great Britain, and France, however, appeafr to be in substantial agreement as to principle. The method of applying the principle is the chief cause of difference. 5. Though giving a,ssurances that they consider "genuine corres- pondence" to be "inviolable" and that they wiU, "true to their engagements," refrain "on the high seas" from seizing and confiscat- ing such correspondence, the Allied Governments proceed to deprive neutral Governments of the benefits of these assurances by seizing and confiscating mails from vessels in port instead of at sea. They War Documents. 819 compel neutral ships without just cause to enter their own ports or they induce shipping lines, through some form of duress, to send their maU ships via British ports, or they detain all vessels merely calling at British ports, thus acquiring by force or unjustifiable means an illegal jurisdiction. Acting upon this enforced jurisdiction, the authorities remove all mails, genuine correspondence as weU as post pa;rcels, take them to London, where every piece, even though of neutral origip and destination, is opened and critically examined to determine the "sincerity of their character," in accordance with the interpretation given that imdefined phrase by the British and BVench censors. Finally, the expurgated remafinder is folTvarded frequently after irreparable delay, to its destination. Ships are detainfed en route to or from the United States or to or from other neutral countries, and maUs are held and delayed for several days and in some cases for weeks and even months, even though not routed to ports of North Europe via British ports. This has been the procedure which has been practised since the announcement of the- 15th February, 1916. To some extent the same" practice was followed before that date, calling forth the' protest of this Govern- ment on the 4th January, 1916. But to that protest the memorandum under acknowledgment makes no reference and is entirely unrespon- sive. The Government of the United States must again insist with emphasis that the British and French Governments do not obtain rightful jiirisdiction of ships by forcing or inducing them to visit their ports for the purpose of seizing their mails, or thereby obtain greater belligerfent rights as to such ships than they could exercise on the high seas; for there is, in the opinion of the Government of the United States, no legal distinction between the seizure of mails at sea which is announced as abandoned, and their seizure from vessels voluntarily or involuntarily in port. The British and French practice amounts to an unwarranted limitation on the use by neutrals of the world's highway for the transmission of correspondence. The practice actually followed by the Allied Powers must be said to justify the conclusion, theiPefore, tha,t the annduncement of the 15th February was merely notice that one illegal practice had been abandoned to make place for the development of another more onerous and vexatious in character. 6. The present practice is a violation not only of the spirit of the amiouncement of the 15th February, but of the rule of The Hague Convention upon which it is concededly based. Aside from this, it is a violation of the prior practice of nations which Great Britain and her Allies have in the past assisted to estabUsh and maintain, not- withstanding the statement in the memorandimi that "as late as 1907 the letters and despatches themselves could be seized and confiscated." D\iring the war between the United States and Mexico, the United States forces allowed British steamers to enter and depart from the port of Vera Cruz without molesting the maUs intended for inland points. During the American Civil War Lord Russell endea- voured to induce the United States to concede that "Her Majesty's mails on board a private vessel should be exempted from visitation or detention." This Exemption of mails was urged in October 1862, in the case of British mails on board the "Adela." On the 31st 820 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada, October Secretary Seward announced that "public mails of any friendly or neutral Power duly certified or authenticated as such shall not be searched or opened but be put as speedily as naay be convenient on the way to their designatied destination." In accord- ance with this announcement, the Government of the United States, ia the case of the British steamship "Peterhoff," which had been seized with her mails against the protest of Her Majesty's Govern- ment, had her mails forwarded to destination unopened. 7, The same rule wafe followed by France, as I am advised, m the Franco-Prussian War of 1870; by the United States in the Spanish-American War of 1898; by Great Britain in the South African War. in the case of the German mail steamers "Bundesrath" and "General"; by Japan and substantially by Russia in the Russo- Japanese War of 1904. And even in the present war, as the memor- andum of Great Britain and France states, their enemy, Germany, has desisted from the practice of interfering with neutral mails, even on board belUgerent steamers. This is illustrated by the case of, the French steamer "Floride," captured by the auxiliary cruiser "Prinz Eitel Friedrich," cited by the British and French Governments in support of their argument regarding parcel mails. In this case the letter mails of the "Floride," amounting to 144 sacks, were forwarded to their destination by the commander at the first oppor- tunity upon arriving in the United States. It would seem, therefore, to be conclusively established that the interferences with mails of which this Government justly complains are wrong in principle and in practicfe. 8. The arbitrary methods employed by the British and French Governments have resulted most disastrously to citizens of the United States. Important papers which can never be dupUcated, or can be duplicated only with great difi&culty, such as United States patents for uiventions, rare documents, legal papers relating to the settlement of estatps, powers of attorney, fire insurance claims, income tax returns, and sitnilar matters, have been lost. Delays in receiving shipping documents have caused great loss and incon- venience by preventing prompt delivery of goods. In the case of the Mac-NiEf Horticultural CompaJny, of New York, large ship- ments of plants and bulbs from Holland were, I am informed, frozen on the wharves because possession could not be obtained in the absence of dociiments relating to them which had been removed from the "New Amsterdam," "Osterdijk," and "Rotterdam." Business opportunities are lost by failiu'e to transmit promptly bids, specifica- tions, and contracts. The Standard Underground Cable Company, of Pittsburg, for example, sent by mail a tender and specifications for certain proposed electtical works to be constructed in Christiania; after several weeks of waiting, the papere having failed to arrive, the American Company was told that the bids could not be longer held open, and the contract was awarded to a British competitor. Cheques, drafts, money orders, securities, and similar property are lost or detained for weeks and months. Business correspondence relating to legitimate and bona fide trade between neutral countries, correspondence of a personal nature, and also certain official corres- pondence, such as money order lists and other matter forwarded by War Documents. 821 Government Departments, are detained, lost, or possibly destroyed. For instance, the Postmaster-General informs me that certain inter- national money order lists from the United States to Geimany, Greece, and other comitries, and from Germany to the United States, sent through the mails, have not reached their destination, though despatched several months ago. It was necessary to have some of these lists duplicated and again despatched by the steamship "Frederick VIII," which sailed from New York on the 19th April, and from which all the mails intended for Germany have been taken and held in British jurisdiction. As a further elxample of the delay and loss consequent upon the British practice the Postmaster-General also sends vae a copy of a letter from the British Postal Administration adxnittin^g tihat the mails were removed from the steamer "Medan" in lihe Bowns on the 30th January last, and not forwarded until some time "between the 2nd Februalry and the 2nd March," and that 182 bags of these mails "were lost during transmission to Holland on the 26th February by the Dutch steamship "Mecklen- burg." The "Medan" arrived safely at Rotterdam a day or two after she left the Downs. Nimierous complaints similar to the fore- going have been received by this Government, the details of which are available, but I believe I have cited sufficient facts to show the unprecedenlfed and vexatious nature of the interference with mails persisted in by British and French authorities. Not only are American commercial interests injured, but rights of property are violated and the rules of international law and custom are palpably disregarded. I can only add that this continuing offence has led to such losses to American citizens and to a possible responsibility of the United States to repair them, that this Goverimient will be compelled in the near future to press claims for full reclamation upon the attention of His Majesty's Goverjiment and that of the French Repubhc. 9. The principle being plain and definite, and the present practice of the Governments of Great Britain and France being clearly in contravention of the principle, I will state more in detail the position of the Government of the United States in regard to the treatment of certain classes of sealed mails \mder a strict apphcation of the principle upon which our Governments seem to be in general accord. The Government of the United States is inclined to the opinion that the class of mail matter, which includes stocks, bonds, coupons and similar securities, is to be regarded as of the same nature as merchan- dise or other articles of property, and subject to the same exercise of belhgerent rights. Money orders, cheques, drafts, notes, and other negotiable instruments which may pass as the equivalent of money are, it is considered, also to be classed as mechandise. Corre- spondence, including shipping documents money-order lists, and papers of that character, even through relating to "enemy supplies or exports," imless carried on the same ship as the property referred to are, in the opinion of this Government, to be regarded as "genuine correspondence," and entitled to unmolested passage. 10. The Government of the United States, in view of the improper methods employed by the British and French authorities in interrupt- ing mails passing between the United States and other neutral countries and between the United States and the enemies of Great Britain, 822 Department of the Secretary -.^ State, 2Canada. can no longer tolerate the wrongs which citizens of the United States have suffered and continue to suffer through these methods. To subnait to a lawless practice of this character would open the door to repeated violations of internationl law by the belUgerent Powers on the ground of military necessity of which the violator would be the sole judge. Manifestly a neutral nation cannot permit its rights on the high seas to be determined by belligerents or the exercise of those rights to be permitted or denied arbitrarily by the Government of a warring nation. The rights of neutrals are as sacred as the rights of belligerents, and must be as strictly observed. 11. The Grovernment of the United States, confident in the regard for international law and rights of neutrals which the British and French Governments have so often proclaimed and the disregard of which they have urged so vigorously against their enemies in the present war, expects the present practice of the British and French authorities in the treatment of mails from or to the United States to cease, and belligerent rights, as exercised, to conform to the principle governing the passage of mail matter and to the recognized practice of nations. Only a radical change in the present British and French policy, restoring to the United States its full rights as a neutral Power, will satisfy this Government. I am, etc., ROBERT LANSING. APPENDIX CC. Miscellaneous No. 10 (1916.) Report by the Government Committee on the Treatment by the Enemy of British Prisoners of War regarding the Conditions obtaining at Wittenberg Camp during the "^phus Epidemic of 1915. No. 1. The Government Committee qn the Treatment by the Enemy of British Prisoners of War to Sir Edward Grey. — {Received April 7). 18, Carlton House Terrace, London, April 6, 1916. Sir, — I have the honour to state that the Chairman of this- Committee, Mr. Justice Younger, has prepared the enclosed report ott the conditions obtaining at Wittenberg camp during the typhua epidemic of last year. The information upon which this report is based has been collected from prisoners of war repatriated from Wittenberg, and. especially from Major Priestley, R. A.M. C, Captain Vidal, R.A.M.C, and Captain Lauder, R.A.M.C, who were sent to the camp soon after the outbreak of the epidemic and who were only recently released from Germany. The Committee considered it advisable to hold back the report until the evidence of these officers was available. I am, etc., ADELAIDE LIVINGSTONE, Hrni. Sec. Enclosure in No. 1. Report on the Conditions obtaining at Wittenberg Camp during the Typhus Epidemic of 1915. Now that Major Priestley, R.A.M.C, Captain Vidal, R.A.M.C.,, and Captain Lauder, R.A.M.C., have been permitted to return to this country, after a prolonged detention in Germany stUl unexplained, the Government Committee on the Treatment by the Eneniy of British Prisoners of War are in a position to submit for the consideration of His Majesty's Government their report upon the conditions of the camp at Wittenberg during and prior to the epidemic of tjnphus which devastated it in the first six months of 1915. The Committee had already in the course of their enquiries- gathered much detailed information as to the state of thmgs which 823 824 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. obtained at Wittenberg during the fever, but until the information in their possession could be checked, corrected, and supplemented by the personal testimony of the above three officers, the Committee refrataed from making any report, so appalling did the conditions disclosed to them appear to be. Major Priestley, Captain Vidal, and Captain Lauder are, it should at once be stated, the only survivors of the six sent by the German authorities to take up at Wittenberg Camp the place of duty abandoned by their own medical staff when the presence of tjrphus manifested itself amongst the prisoners under their charge. These officers have now detailed their experiences to the Committee, who feel that a report upon the whole situation ought no longer to be withheld, although definiteness on points of detail may still be lacking by reason of the fact that the professional records of the epidemic and its incidents kept by Major Priestley, Captain Vidal, and Captain Lauder were taken from them before they were allowed to leave Germany, and that a promise made to Major Priestley and Captain Vidal that theirs would be returned to them after copies had been transcribed remains imfulfilled. The Committee, however, have the lesfs hesitation in decidmg not to wait for records — ^which, in fact, may never become available — ^for the reason' that the accounts of their experiences given by Major Priestley, Captain Vidal, and Captain Lauder fully confirm those statements in the possession of the Committee to which reference has already been made. The camp at Wittenberg is built on a fiat, sandy plain, devoid of trees or shrubs. The total area of the camp is about IO5 acres, and it is surrounded by the usual wire entanglements. It is subdivided into eight companies or compounds, intended to be separated from each other, but not so in practice. Every compound contains on an average six wooden bungalows, in which the men are housed, each bungalow in turn being divided into two compartments or barracks — originally constructed, it is beUeved, to accommodate 120 men. In fact, however, there were frequently, before and during the epidemic, 180 to 200 prisoners in a barrack, so that the overcrowding was most serious. In the early stages of the war and during the fever the camp was very full. The British prisoners numbered between 700 and 800. There was a much larger number of French and Belgians, but the Russians always greatly preponderated over all the others. It is believed that before and during the progress of the typhus there were at lesfst 15,000 prisoners in the camp, and there may have been as many as 16,000 or 17,000 — an enormous population for so restricted an area as 10| acres. The winter of 1914-15 was extremely severe and the cold at Wittenberg intense, but the heating arrangements for the camp were altogether inadequate. Although there were two stoves to each btulgalow, frequently during the winter there was a great shortage of fuel, while the stoves were so constructed that it was only if they were both constantly stoked with all the coal they could possibly hold that a bungalow was reasonably warmed. Often there was no coal for either stove, and the temperature was so low that the men had War Documents. 825 always to keep every window shut to husband what little warmth there was. This greatly aggravated the evil of the overcrowding above referred to. Moreover, the men were insufficiently clothed. From most of the British prisoners their overcoats were taken on the day of their c^ipture; none were given them in exchange. Their remaining clothes were often in rags; some of the men had even to use their blankets as clothing. Occasionally a prisoner had received a thin cotton shirt, but there were many with neither boots nor socks; many others had their feet wrapped in straw. They were provided with no change of underclothing, and there were no means of washing the scanty clothing they had, for at that time, no washhouse existed in the camp. For personal ablutions there was only one trough or tap to -each compoimd, and tl.at was frequently frozen. No hot water was available except that which came from the cookhouse. As a consequence the state of the prisoners beggars description. Major Priestley found them gaunt, of a peculiar grey pallor and verminous. Their condition, in his own words, was deplorable. The food with which they were supphed was bad and insufficient. The Committee are well aware that the difference between German food and cooking and that to which British soldiers are ordinarily accustomed induces prisoners to magnify deficiencies in this respect. But after every allowance on this head is made, the Committee are left with -a record of suffering owing to the lack of wholesome food which they cannot but deplore. It was the men's food which was so bad and deficient. During the whole period the medical officers were well provided for at a price of 1 .50 M. a day. There was no general scarcity, a fact which makes the treatment of the rank and file all the more difficult to justify or excuse. When Major Priestley arrived at Wittenberg Camp the allowance of bread was 1 kilog. loaf for ten men. Breakfast for the men, he says, consisted of black (acorn?) coffee and bread. The bread contained a high percentage of potato and was most impalatable. Sometimes a thin soup was given for breakfast in place of coffee. The midday meal consisted of a soup made of potato flour, horsebeans, soja flour, -some form of grease, and a minimum of meat. Men would go days without finding any meat in their bowl. Sometimes the midday soup contained a powerfully smelling sun-dried fish, at other times dried plums, etc. In the evening there was more thin soup containing margarine. Before the outbreak there was a men's canteen at which bread and some other articles could be bought, but this was closed with the departure of the German guards on the outbreak of the typhus, and was not reopened until after their return when the epidemic was over. Then the camp food improved, but since the month of May the English had become largely independent of it, for from that time they mainly subsisted on parcels sent them from home. No palrcels, however, reached the camp until May, and the Committee are satisfied that the German food previously supphed was, apart from its bad quality, quite insufficient to maintain vitahty or enable an ordinary man to resist disease. 4450—19* 826 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. And the spread of the typhus, when it came, was much facilitated by a camp regulation, not confined to Wittenberg, which enjoiaed that prisoners of all nationahties should be naixed together. Normally, there was only one mattress for every three prisoners, and every British prisoner was compelled to have one French and one Russian prisoner to share his mattress with him. Now, tj-phus, as was fully recognised by the Russian doctors themselves, was unfortunately, to some extent — but through no fault of their own — ^latent amongst some of the Russian troops, and it is a well-known medical fact that hce are the great carriers of that disease, while it is, of course, notorious that the men of all armies in the field, including the British, are plagued with lice. As a protection against typhus, therefore, the separation of the infected was an elementary precaution. But at Wittenberg, no adequate measures were taken even to free the prisoners, on their arrival at the camp, from the hce. The only provision for personal cleanliness there made for the men was one cupful of soft soap issued at intervals of many weeks to a room containing at least 120. In consequence, the men became increasingly verminous, and that condition, coupled with the cold and want of proper nom-ishment, was undoubtedly the principal inducing cause of the epidemic which supervened. And the German authorities, although they were not ignorant of the danger, did nothing to prevent or minimise the spread of infection. That they knew it might become general throughout the camp is undoubted. German non-commissioned officers warned the French, shortly before the outbreak, of the risk, and, when during the course of the typhus. Captain Vidal, in order that its spread might be restricted as much as possible, asked a German officer, himself standing safely outside the camp, if the remaining healthy English could be placed together in one compound, his request was insulth gly refused. The medical and surgical arrangements were under the charge of Oberstabsarzt Dr. Aschenbach and his German assistants. At the outbreak of the epidemic there were no British medical officers at Wittenberg. There were a number of Russian and there may have been some French doctors; of this the Committee are not certain. The epidemic br6ke out in December, 1914. Thereupon the German staff, niilitary and medical, precipitately left the. camp, and thenceforth until the month of August, 1915, with the exceptions detailed later on, no communication was held between the prisoners and their guards except by means of directions shouted from the guards or officers remaining outside the wire entanglements of the camp. All suppUes for the men were pushed into the camp over chutes. The food for the hospital and medical officers was passed in on a trolley over about 20 yards of rail, worked by winches at either end so as to avoid all contact between the prisoners and the outside world. No medical attention during the whole time was provided by the German staff. Of the happenings during the early weeks of the outbreak the information before the Committee is supplied by witnesses other than the medical officers who have recently returned, and accordiixgly the one observation the Committee make with regard to this period is War Documents. 827 that, when the typhus first appeared, the only hospital at the camp consisted of two wooden huts capable of holding about 100 patients, and that at the instance — as the Committee beUeve — of the Russian medical staff, the German authorities were induced to permit a part of compound No. 8 to be used for the purpose of an improvised hospital, the accojnmodation at the old hospital having already become quite inadequate. The arrival of the British medical officers at the camp came about in the following way. From the month of November, 1914, thirteen English doctors had been detained at Halle. They were none of them required for atlfendance upon their own men, and it is difficult to understand how, consistently with the Geneva Conven- tion, their continued detention was justifiable. Indeed, in direct defiance of the provisions of that Convention, these doctors were treated as ordinary prisoners of war, apd the Committee cannot resist the suspicion that they were deliberately detained by the German authorities so that they might be made available, if need be, for work of danger in relief of their own staff. Be that as it may, after three months' wrongful detention these doctors were, on the 10th February, 1915, informed that they were to be distri- buted amongst the other German camps, and particularly that six were required for the camp at Wittenberg. By arrangements amongst themselves, the six sent there were Major Fry, Major Priestley, Captain Sutcliffe, Captain Field, Captain Vidal, and Captain — then Lieutenant — Lauder. No reason was given for the order that they should go to Wittenberg, and it was from the guard on the train that they first heard of typhus there. On arrival at Wittenberg they were marched to the camp. They visited the different compounds. They were received in apathetic silence. The rooms were imlighted; the men were aimlessly marching up and down; some were lying on the floor, probably sickening for typhus. WTien they got into the open air again Major Fry broke down. The horror of it all was more than he could for the moment bear. Later in the evening Major Priestley and Captain Vidal were directed to go to two tfempbrary hospitals outside the camp. Major Priestley to the Kxonprinz Hospital, and Captain Vidal to the Elbarfin Hospital. There were no infectious diseases at either hospital, and the general conditions at each were satisfactory. These officers were kept there until the 7th March, 1915. Of the four officers left on the 11th February at the camp itself. Captain Lauder alone survives, and the conditions as he describes them during the period between the 11th February and the 7th March are full of horror. The wonder is that any prisoner escaped infection. Captain Lauder found, for instance, that while in the bungalows there was normally one mattress to three men, in the improvised hospital there were no mattresses at all. This, of course, was known throughout the camp, and in consequence there were many typhus patients scattered over the compounds who were determined not to come into the hospital if they could help it. In one compound alone Captain Lauder discovered fifty hidden cases of typhus. 4450—191* 828 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Further, when a patient was brought from the compound to the hospital, either the mattress on which he had lain was brought with him or it was left behind in his bungalow. If it was brought with him his former companions were left without anything to sleep on; if it was left behind his still iminfected companions were left to sleep upon the infected mattress, and it was almost inevitable that they should catch the disease. Again in the absence of stretchers all the typhus cases had to be carried down to the hospital on the tables on which the men ate their food, and there was no possibility of washing these tables because, as above stated, there was prac- tically no soap in the camp. Moreover, the German authorities, at first refused to allow the whole of compoiuid ]^o. 8 to be used for typhus patients. They required that these should be mixed with other sufferers, a regulation for which it seems impossible to suggest any justification. The result simply was to spread the infec tion to those already afflicted in some other way. During the first month the food ration for each patient was half a petit pain and half a cup of milk each per day. The only soup to be got was from the camp kitchen, but that came up ia a wooden tub without a cover, and it arrived at the hospital — so one of the prisoners says — ^fuU of dust and dirt. It was hopeless diet for patients in a fever. In truth the ration was not a ration at all, it was a pretence. It was not even possible to give the patients warm water with their milk. The camp conditions were too much for each of the four medical officers who were left there; two of them. Major Fry and Captain Sutcliffe, very soon sickened, and they died of typhus about a month after their arrival. Captain Field was attacked later by the disease and also died. There is no doubt in the minds of the committee that the condition to which the camp authorities had reduced the camp and the prisoners t^iey had abandoned was directly responsible for the deaths of these devoted men. Lieutenant Lauder was finally stricken with the disease on the 7th March, after having for three days with a temperature due to typhus stuck to his work, there being no one then to take his place. He alone of the officers attacked finally recovered. When convalescent he bravely resumed his duty. On the 7th March Major Priestley and Captain Vidal were directed to return to the main camp. They were met there by Captain Field. Major Fry and Captain Sutcliffe were then dying. Lieutenant Lauder, as above explained, was in the early stages of typhus. Two Russian medical generals were in command in the hospital. There were then about 1,000 cases of tjrphus in the camp, and fresh cases were coming in at the rate of about 50, and sometimes more, a day. There were at that time about 150 British cases. The British sick were lying scattered amongst the French and the Russians, both in the compound No. 8 and in the other compounds of the camp. Being sometimes dressed in French, Belgian, or Russian uniforms, they were difficult to recognise. They were lying in their clothes on the floor, or on the straw mattresses above described. In the beginning there were no beds in compoimd No. 8; there were not even, as has been shown, mattresses for all. Major War Documents. 829 Priestley saw delirious men waving arms brown to the elbow with faecal matter. The patients were alive with vernxb; in the half light he attempted to brush what he took to be an accumulation of dust from the folds of a patient's clothes, and he discovered it to be a moving mass of lice. In one room in compound No. 8 the patients lay so close to one another on the floor that he had to stand straddle-legged across them to examine them. Captain Vidal's description is even more appalling. It was imposible, he says, to obtain bedpans for the British patients, and consequently in cases of dehrium, and even in less serious cases, the state of the mattress was indescribable. Even such a thing as paper for sanitary purposes was almost unprocurable. The difficulty in the way of obtaining sufficient drugs and dressings was for a long time extreme. Camphorated oil. Captain Lauder says, could never at Wittenberg, contrary to his experience ia other German camps, be secured in adequate quantity, yet this was practically the only stimulant available. Day after day a fist of medical requisites would be sent out, and only a third of the things requested would be supplied. Bed sores were common. In several cases toes or whole feet became gangrenous, and sufficient bandages were not available to dress them. One of the patients now returned to this country, Private Lutwyche of the 1st Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers, had in May to have one leg amputated below the knee, and in July the other leg amputated at the same place, in both cases owing to gangrene. Had dressings at the proper time been available both feet would in all probability have been saved. And his case does not stand itlone. The officers are quite satisfied that the post typhus gangrene which was so common, was largely due to the fact that for so many patients there were neither socks nor anything else to keep their feet warm. In the earlier stages of the epidemic there was practically no hospital clothing available for the British prisoners. There was only a smail sulphur chamber for disinfecting purposes. When a patient's outer clothing was taken off to be sent to the disinfector he had to be left in his shirt, as no other clothing or shirts were suppUed. Each patient brought his blankets from the camp with him, and as no covering could be provided for him while disinfection was taking place it was impossible adequatelj' to disinfect his clothing unless he was to be left naked. As regards the washing of patients in hospital, this was entirely out of the question. Until a supply of soap was obtained by Captain Vidal's efforts from England at a later date there was no soap forth- coming. The only supply was a small quantity secured from the officers' canteen, and that was kept for the very worst cases. It was to Major Priestley's great powers of organization, the devoted labours and strong personafity of Captain Vidal and, after his recovery, the splendid work of Captain Lauder, that gradual improvement in the conditions was due. An observation ward was instituted in compound No. 8 and placed in charge of Captain Lauder. Major Priestley took over the treatment of typhus in the hospital, and Captain Vidal, in addition to other duties, was placed in charge of the surgical ward. Major Priestley at length 830 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. obtained permission to collect, and he did collect, all the British typhus patients in one bungalow of that compound. He secured for his patients what bedding, hospital clothing, urinals, &c., he could, as these filtered daily from the hands of the Germans outside into the storeroom. He arranged that the milk and the soup should arrive in special vessels before the bungalow; he obtained for each patient about three cupfuls of milk per day, and for the convales- cents a thin soup and some white rolls. Clothing, beds, and bedding were gradually collected, so that the patients could at least be put into clean clothes, and their own were disinfected in a movable steam disinfector that after a time was working. As the cases decreased in number the appalling overcrowding of the hospital in the beginning at length disappeared. In all this work Major Priestley, Captain Vidal, and Captain Lauder were splendidly supported by the many English prisoners who volunteered as nurses. Many of these devoted men caught the infection and died of the fever. On one occasion only during the whole course of the epidemic did Dr. Aschenbach enter the hospital, or even the camp. His visit took place about four weeks after Major Priestley's arrival, and after some kind of order had been evolved. He came attired in a complete suit of protective clothing, including a mask and rubber gloves. His inspection was brfef and rapid. For his services in combating the epidemic, Dr. Aschenbach, the Committee un;derstand, has been awarded the Iron Cross. Some of the German guards outside the camp were infected by prisoners to whom, contrary to orders, they persisted in selling things. These men were placed by the Germans in a hospital outside the camp, and one of the German medical staff, an Alsatian as it happened, wa^ sent to attend them. At a later stage in the out- break this young man came to the hospital, but simply to take bacteriological specimeiis for research work at Magdeburg. He helped in no way. With these exceptions no visit was paid to the camp during the whole outbreak by any member of the German Medical Service. The dead were buried in a cemetery formed out of a part of the camp. The Germans sent in a certain number of coflSns every day, into which the bodies of the dead were pUt and carried out by their conorades through a gate in- the barbed wire. There was not sufficient room for burial of so many, and the coffins were piled one upon another, but the Committee do not think there was any special danger in the arrangement. What the prisoners found hardest to bear in this matter 'wtete thte jeers with which the coffins were frequently greeted by the inhabitants of Wittenberg, who stood outside the wire and were permitted to insult their dead. During the first two months the typhus was hsemorrhagic tjrphus; it was of a milder type later on. There were between 250 and 300 English cases, and there were 60 deaths amongst them. The deaths amongst the French and the Russians were, of course, much greater in number. The medical officers and the nursing orderlies suffered the most severely. The mortality among them was high. War Documents. 831 The cases of post-typhus gangrene were very numerous, largely the result, in all probability, of the inadequate heating of the wards at night, and, as above stated, of insufficient covering. It was, in the earlier days, often necessary to discharge the patients from the hospital before they were fit to be removed. Some were hardly able to walk, but it was essential to make room for fresh patients, whose need was greater. In many cases these men had to go back to their barrack room and lie on the bare floor, as no fresh beds or mattresses were provided for a long time, and the mattresses taken by them into the hospital had to be destroyed owing to the state in which they were. Captain Vidal says that the conditions were thoroughly realized by the German authorities without any effort being made by them to bring about an improvement. Representations, usually through the French and Russian doctors, owing to the marked hostility which was always manifested towards the English by the camp authorities, were again and again addressed to the senior medical officer, but usually without result. Aiter the middle of April^ however, beds and clothing were, as above appears, gradually obtained for the hospital, and as the weather became warmer the cases rapidly decreased in number. With the decrease in the patients the supplies became adequate, so that now every patient in the Wittenberg hospital, whatever his aihnent, has a bed and proper hospital clothing. The last English typhus case occmred in the middle of May, the last Russian case in July. By the end of July all cases were convalescent, except those suffering from post-tjrphus gangrene. During the epidemic an adequate sterilizer for clothes was built outside the camp by the Germans, but the work was not pressed, and it was not ready for use until a fortnight after the last case of typhus occurred amongst the British. Its presence there now will, however, probably prevent any recurrence of the epidemic. In May also several new hospital bungalows were built behind the wire entanglements, which were then moved back so as to surround them. Each of these bungalows has three stoves, and in them beds are provided with wood-shaving mattresses, sheets, blankets, and pillows. Unfortunately the epidemic was over before these bungalows became available. As is obvious from this report, the conditions of the camp was such that it was not possible for the American Ambassador or his staff to visit it until after many months. It was, however, visited by Mr. Lithgow-Osborne on the 29th October, and by Mr. .Gerard himself and Mr. Russell on the 8th November, and their reports are on record. All accounts before the Committee testify to the great further improvements in the camp and its management effected by the Germans as a result of these visits. The Committee fully recognize that at the beginning of the war, when the sudden, and it may have been unexpected, rush of Russian prisoners overwhelmed the authorities, every allowance must be made 832 •> Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. for defects of all kinds in prison camps, many of them hastily impro- vised. They have accordingly looked in every direction to see whether any justification or excuse can be suggested for the treatment to which these Wittenberg prisoners were subjected during the period of their visitation. They can find none. Outside the camp the Committee can discover no indication of any scarcity, either of food or of medical or surgical appUances, which could account for the failure of the German authorities to supply their sick prisoners with a sufficiency of both. At the Kronprinz Hospital and at the Elbarfin Hospital as early as February the supply of medical requisites was adequate. As has been stated, the medical ofl&cers in the camp were throughout the epidemic amply provided with food at an extremely moderate price and apparently without difficulty. After the outbreak had spent itself and the German guards had returned to the camp, Major Priestley and Captain Vidal were on several occasions allowed to visit the town of Wittenberg under escort, and even during that period they found displayed there abundant supplies of every requisite. Yet for months the plague-stricken camp was starved of the barest necessaries of existence and of the simplest drugs, and was not even provided with surgical dressings for the patients' wounds. The Committee are therefore cpmpelled to look elsewhere for an explanation of the criminal neglect of which, as it seems to them, the German authorities were guilty. And they find it in the history of the administration of the Wittenberg Gamp from the very commence- ment. Incredible as it may seem, the action of the officers and guards in precipitately deserting the camp and thenceforth controlling its caged inmates with loaded rifles from the outside, was only in keeping with the methods and conduct of these men throughout. The cruelty of the administration at Wittenberg Camp from the very commencement has become notorious. Savage dogs were habit- ually employed to terrorize the prisoners ; flogging with a rubber whip was frequent; men were struck with little or no provocation, and were tied to posts with their arms above their heads for hours. Captain Lauder reports that many of these men went so far as to look upon the typhus, with all its horrors, as a godsend ; they preferred it to the presence of the German guards. And the callousness during the outbreak even of so prominent an officer as Dr. Aschenbach is illustrated by an incident related by Captain Lauder. Shortly after their arrival at the camp, Major Fry, with Captain Lauder, was begging Dr. Aschenbach, standing outside the entanglements, for some medical requisite urgently required. One of his staff with Dr. Aschenbach was apparently favourably inclined towards the request, but it was curtly refused by Dr. Aschen- bach, who turned away with the words "Schweine Englander." To the Committee an incident like that, with all it imphes, speaks volumes. The effects of such methods as have been described were manifest even on the 29th October, 1915, when, as has been stated, Mr. Lithgow-Osborne visited the camp. In his report of that visit, after remarking that the authorities of the camp regard their prisoners as criminals whom fear alone keeps obedient, Mr. Osborne proceeds: — War Documents. 833 "In no other camp have I found signs of fear on the part of the prisoners that what they might say to me would result in suffering to them afterwards"; and Mr. Gerard speaking of his visit on the 8th November says: — "The impression gained after careful examination of the camp and long conversations with the prisoners was even more unfavourable than I had been led to expect." The Committee accordingly are forced to the conclusion that the terrible sufferings and privations of the afflicted prisoners during the period imder review are directly chargeable to the deliberate cruelty and neglect of the German ofl&cia,ls whose elementary duty it was, in the words of the Geneva Convention, to respect and take care of these men, wounded and sick as they were, without distinction of nationality, but who acted as if neither that convention nor even the ordinary inslSncts of humanity had any place in their scheme of things. The commandant during the whole time was General von Dassel. The Committee believe that he has now been removed from a position which he always was unfitted to occupy. Dr. Aschenbach, however, remains medical officer, and while the Committee recognize that the material conditions at the camp are now not imsatisfactory, that improvement is the result of constant pressure which ought never to have been necessary, and no confidence can be felt that so long as Dr. Aschenbach is there the prisoners will have the medical care to which they are entitled. It is a serious matter, as the Committee think, that the German authorities should still retain in such a position of responsibility, and it is outrageous that they should have decorated an officer capable of such neglect as that for which Dr. Aschenbach must one day answer. The Committee turn to a more agreeable topic when they draw attention, if they properly may, to the splendid work of the British Medical Staff and orderhes during the epidemic. Major Priestley's work has already been referred to in this report: it was beyond all praise. Captain Vidal was, in the words of one of the prisoners, the idol of the camp; and Major Priestley says of Captain Lauder that he cannot sufficiently express his admiration for his pluck and skill and for the imobtrusive way in which the did his duty. It was he who, at the beginning, bore the brunt of the outbreak. The Committee have seen Captain Lauder as well as the other oflScers, and they feel sure that he fully deserves that high tribute. And all these officers concur in praising the splenc^id bearing of the orderhes. They each of them volunteered for the work; they tended prisoners of all nationalities. They all of them with full under- standing, for they were all warned, risked their lives without a thought, and many of them died at their post. The Committee hope to be able in due course to supply His Majesty's Government with a full list of these heroic souls. The Committee feel that every one of these officers and men as truly offered his life for the sake of others as any soldier on the battle- 834 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. field, and they venture to hope that the devoted service of such of them as survive will be duly remembered at the proper time.

Taylor as to food supply and nutrition at the internment camp at Ruhleben. I have, etc., JAMES W. GERARD. War Documents. 835 Enclosure 2 in No. 1. Dr. A. E. Taylor to Mr. Gerard. May 24, 1916. Sm, — I have the honour to present a supplementary report bearing upon the conditions of food supply and nutrition in the camp of the interned civilians at Ruhleben. In the report presented a few weeks ago, a detailed statement was offered of the ataaount of foodstuffs devoted to subsistence during that time. Since then a sharp reduction has been made in the amount of foodstuff allotted to the camp. In order to illustrate the present state of affairs, the ration provided by the authorities for the camp in Ruhleben may be contrasted with the ration for military prisoners promulgated in the latest food programme of the Kriegs- ministerium. The differences are concerned largely with the aUow- aaces of meat and fish. There is also a difference in the potato ration. In -other respects, such differences as exist would not have a marked bearing upon nutrition from the standpoint of energy content, though such dtifferences as do exist are not to the advantage of the Ruhleben ration. The menu for working prisoners of war just issued contains per week 2,800 grammes of bread; 300 grammes of meat (including bones); 200 grammes of sausage; 500 grammes of fish, fish-roe, and herring; and 9,500 grammes net of potato, corresponding to 10,500 grammes gross weight. The difference in the diet of the working and non-working prisoners lies in the bread ration, which for the non- working prisoners is 2,100 grammes per week. The present allotment of foodstuff authorized by the miUtary authorities for Ruhleben is much lower in meat, fish and potato. It provides per man per week 200 grammes of fresh meat (including bones). It provides, secondly, 1,600 lbs. (800 kilog. gross weight) fresh fish (corresponding to about 215 grammes per man per week), cfr 200 grammes sausage or legumes. The potato ration is 4,000 grammes per week per man. Viewing the protein content of the sausage and fish as equal in both estimates, it is apparent that the military prisoner of war is allotted per week 1,150 granames of these protein-carrying foods, while the civil prisoner of war in Ruhleben is allotted 400 grammes of the same articles, a little more than one- third the amount allotted the mihtary prisoner of war. The potato ration of the civil prisoner is less than half that of the military prisoner. In the absence of a detailed and quantitative inventory of the food suppUes coming into Ruhleben from outside of Germany, it is impossible to state definitely whether the total food supply in Ruhleben is now sufficient for the nutritional needs of the camp. It must be borne in mind that many of these prisoners receive Uttle or substantially nothing from the outside. One result of the present ration allotment is already seen in the fact that some of the Jews are appearing at the camp kitchen to secure food which is to them not rituaUstically clean. This reduction in allotment of food supplies is made all the more striking by the fact that the prisoners of war, as a group, receive from outside of Germany at the present time 836 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. as much or more food units per man than are received in Ruhleben. During the past week I have visited two prison camps in which the British prisoners subsisted practica,lly entirely upon supplies received from abroad. Nevertheless, these men have at their disposal the regular ration for prisoner of war quoted above, to take or leave at their option. It is true that many of the interned civilians in Ruhleben receive more than they need. It is also true that some of them receive in notable amounts articles of food that must be classed as luxuries. On the other hand, many of these prisoners receive little or nothing, and are, therefore, largely or entirely dependent upon the food supplied by the authorities. I have, etc., A. E. TAYLOR. No. 2. Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Page. The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs presents his compli- ments to the United States Ambassador, and has the honour to refer to his Excellency's note of the 30th ultimo enclosing a supplementary report ''by Dr. A. E. Taylor on the food supply and nutrition at Ruhleben. Sir E. Grey observes that, since Dr. Taylor's report enclosed in Mr. Page's note of the 12th ultimo* was drawn up, a fresh scale of diet has been put into force, and that civilians interned at Ruhleben are now only receiving a little more than one-third of the proteia- carrying foods allowed to combatant prisoners of war, while the potato rations of the civilians are less than one-half of those issued to combatant prisoners of war. His Majesty's Government have learned with great concern of this serious reduction in the rations for civilians, and their concern will be shared by the public in this country. The action taken by the German Government can only be regarded as mOst regrettable and significant. If the German Government are not in a position to feed prisoners of war in their hands properly, it is clearly their duty to release them, and Sir E. Grey would remark that, so far from doing so, the German Government are detaining a number of British civilians who are in a state of health entitling them to repatriation under the Agreement relating to Invahd Civilians, and have further made no reply to the proposal of His Majesty's Government that civilians over 50 should be repatriated, and that those over 45 should be repatriated in cases where they are unfit for service in the field, in both cases subject to the condition that there are no military reasons for their detention. The German prisoners of war in this country, both combatant and non-combatant, are, as Mr. Page is aware, adequately fed without the aid of parcels from abroad, and His Majesty's Government are therefore entitled to demand reciprocal treatment for the British prisoners in Germany or, if this is not possible, their release. *See "Miscellaneous, No. 8 1916." War Documents. 837 His Majesty's Government are prepared to consider any proposals which the German Government may be ready to make for an exchange of British and German civilians on an extended scale. In the meantime, Sir E. Grey would be glad to be informed of the numbers and, if possible, of the names of the men at Ruhleben who receive no parcels of food from outside the camp. Pending the receipt of information on this point. Sir E. Grey is bringing the facts as stated by Dr. Taylor to the notice of the Prisoners of War Help Committee, which, as Mr. Page is aware, was set up by His Majesty's Goverrdnent to co-ordinate the efforts of the various bodies in this country formed for the relief of prisoners of war. Foreign Office, June 3, 1916. No. 3. Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Page. The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs presents his compli- ments to the United States Ambassador, and has the honour to refer to his note of the 3rd instant respecting Dr. A. E. Taylor's supple- mentary report on the food supply and nutrition at Ruhleben. As it may take some time before the United States Ambassador at Berlin can obtain the numbers and names of the prisoners at Ruhleben who receive no parcels from outside the camp. Sir E. Grey would be much obliged if his Excellency could at once obtain per- mission, if possible, from the German Government for His Majesty's Government to send at fixed intervals a supply of food in bulk sufficient for 500 men. The food would be consigned to Mr. Powell, captain of the camp. It must be understood that by sending food in bulk His Majesty's Government in no way admit their liability to feed their prisoners in Germany, which is the recognised duty of the captor Government, nor are they prepared to modify their view that if the German Government are not in a position to feed the prisoners properly they should release them. Sir E. Grey would be grateful if the above could be communicated to Mr. Gerard by telegram. Foreign Office, June 8, 1916. No. 4. Memorandum communicated by the Prisoners of War Help Committee, June 9, 1916. With reference to the question of the British prisoners at Ruhleben and the report of Dr. A. E. Taylor, published in the White Book 838 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. ("Miscellaneous, No. 18," Cd. 8259), the Prisoners of War Help Committee, at the instance of the Foreign Office, constituted in May, 1915, a CiviUan Sub-Committee, which has registered the names and addresses of the civilian prisoners at Ruhleben, so far as it has been possible to ascertain them, and has endeavoured to meet the need of those who have applied for relief, or on whose behalf application has been made, eithjer by sending parcels themselves or through the medium of other reUef committees. The following are fair samples of the weekly parcels|sent, selected from the Army and Navy Stores, and supplemented by any articles which are specially asked for: — 1 packet biscuits. 1 tin tongue. I packet tea. i tin milk. 1 tin golden sjoTip. 1 tin potted meat. I lb. tin margarine. i tin cheese. II. 1 packet biscuits. 1 tin compressed beef. 5 lb. tin margarine. 1 lb. tin cocoa and milk. 1 tin golden syrup. 1 tin sardines. I tin milk. 1 tablet soap. At the present moment the Sub-Committee is acting upon a letter dated the 27th April, and received the 11th May, from the Honorary Secretary Committee for Distribution of ReUef in Kind at Ruhleben, which stated that about 250 men in the camp do not receive parcels and suggested that the requirements would be met by parcels containing the following articles: — Tins, I lb. margarine and 1 lb. each milk, meat, jam. Packets, | lb. sugar and J lb. tea. The names and home addresses of the 250 men have been asked for, and interim reUef for this number is being sent. No. 5.

The American Ambassador presents his compliments to His Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and has the honour to transmit herewith enclosed a copy of a letter he has received from the Ambassador at Berlin, dated the 14th instant, transmitting a copy of a report concerning the food supply in the Detention Camp at Ruhleben. American Embassy, London, June 20, 1916. War Documents. 839 Enclosure 1 in No. 5. Mr. Gerard to Mr. Page. American Embassy, Berlin, June 14, 1916. Sir, — I have the honour to transmit herewith triplicate copies of a further report dated to-day, made by Dr. A. E. Taylor, in regard to the food supply in the Detention Camp at Ruhleben. I have, etc., JAMES W. GERARD. Enclosure 2 in No. 5. Dr. A. E. Taylor to Mr. Gerard. Berlin, June 14, 1916. Sir,— I ha,ve the ho;nour to present the following report dealing with conditions in the food supply in the camp of the interned British civihans at Ruhleben. In a supplementary report presented the 24th May, it was pointed out that the amount of food now being furnished to the men interned at Ruhleben had been greatly reduced from the figiyres presented in the original report of the 3rd May, 1916. This state of affairs has continue^. Thje amount of foodstuffs fiu-nished by the authorities during tke week of thie 4th May to 11th May, 1916, wfere as follows : — Bread 7,700 Sugar 490 Coffee 385 Chicory 70 Cocoa 105 Dried milk 10 Pickled beef 825 Fresh beef 200 "Blutwurst" 275 Potatoes 11,000 Fresh rhubarb 1, 500 Liver paste 60 Barley 250 Rice 150 Fresh milk litres 525 Calculating the food imits in accordance with commonly accepted standard, these foodstuffs would yield p^r man to the total number of men in the camp approximately: protein 39 grammes, fat 6 grammes, carbohydrate 255 grammes, of a total heat value of about 1,220 calories. Noteworthy in this diet, as contrasted with the previous diet, is the absence of fish and of margarine. All the fat present in the diet is ialdidentally contained in the several foodstuffs, and the diet is as fat-free as it is practically possible for a diet to be. Of the total number of men in the camp 2,070 took the food durbg this 840 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. week. When the food values of the several foodstuffs above denom- inated are divided by this figure, we obtain the units actually handed out to each man taking the food with the following approximate results: protein 65 grammes, fat 10 grammes, carbohydrate 410 grammes, with a total heat value of 1,930 calories. In order to make these figures clear and illustrative, I will contrast them with the figures officially established for the month of June for prisoners of war by Professor Backhaus, head of the Nurti- tion Department of the Ministry of War, which figures form the basis for the subsistence of the prisoners of war during this month. In the table are also presented the figures for the previous survey in Ruhleben, and the figures for the past week of the civilian camp in Holzminden, where there are three British women and five Servians interned : — Protein. Fat. Carbohy- drate. Calories. Prisoner oi war ration 80 59 98 39 55 70 29 12 24 6 10 30 500 308 523 255 410 '400 2 700 Ruhleben I— a 1,680 b 2,725 1,220 Ruhleben li- fe 1,930 Holzminden ". 2,200 The prisoner-of-war ration is caltsulatfed for 300 grammes of bread, the same amount as assigned in Ruhleben and in Holzminden. The first Ruhleben entry (I) is that of the first report; the second Ruhleben entry (II) is that of last week; (o) and (6) are respectively the input per capita, for the total of men and for the number of men taking food. These figures indicate that the food supplied by the authorities to the interned civilians in Ruhleben during the past week, if applied to all the men, represented less than half of the requisite food units. For the men who took food, less than two-thirds of the units were supplied by the authorities of the camp. The authorities directly in charge of the subsistence of the camp are not following the official menu. When the diet of the interned civilians in Ruhleben was worked out, the sum of 66 pfennige per man per day was allotted for the purchase of foodstuffs, coal and costs of transportation beiug included. (The present figures for prisoners of war is 86 pfennige.) For some time the authorities in Ruhleben have not been permitted to ex^pend this entire sum (amounting to about, 2,600 M per day), but only a certain fraction of it. The unexpended moneys have accumulated in the camp treasury, and this accumu- lation now represents a large sum. I am, of course, in no position tb state what the saving has been, variously estimated between 60,000 and 200,000 M. It is, however, clear that if the authorities in Ruhleben were permitted to expend 2,600 M. per day for food (with or without the addition of the accumulated savings), the difference in the amount of food now supplied and once suppUed would not -exist. War Documents. 841 A notable feature of the diet for the last week was the absence of vegetables. Rhubarb was served once, and no sugar was furnished with it, but instead the kitchen-men were instructed to employ saccharine for sweetening, and a determined amount of saccharine yf&s supphed them for that purpose. The kitchen-men followed their instructions, and the camp as a unit protested to the kitchen against the peculiar after-taste that followed the eating of the rhubarb. It is my judgment that such manner of use of saccharine is entirely without justification. It is a truism in modern food laws the world over that the consumer should never be subjected to sophistication or substitution without his knowledge and consent. Prior to the war, tjie use of saccharine in foodstuffs was absolutely prohibited in Germany. If the authorities in Ruhleben are not able to furnish sugar with such foods as are normally prepared with sugar, the correct procedure would be to frankly notify the men to this effect, offer the individual men saccharine for their own use, if they choose to employ it, leave it tb other men to furnish their own sugar if they wish, and not impose upon 3,000 men an artificial sweetening agent without their knowledge or consent. During this period of time, while the authorities have been reducing the foodstuffs supphed to the camp, less and less food has been coming in from abroad, and this despite the fact that an increased number of packages came in during May as against April. During the month of April, 28,908 packages were delivered to the camp; during the month of May 39,547 packages were deUvered — the highest in the history of the camp, higher even than during December. It is estimated that 90 per cent of these packages contained foodstuffs. Thjs increase was due in part to a speeding-up in transportation, in part in response to appeals from the interned civiUans. Despite this mcrease in number of parcels, the amount of food received was reduced. During the past month a very notable deterioration in the quaUty of bread has been noticed; and in addition, week by week, a larger percentage has arrived in so mouldy a condition as to make it unfit for food. Furthermore, the number of loaves has been reduced. In the bread coming from Switzerland, a change in the quaUty was noted about Easter. This bread now comes in a very dried-out state, extremely hard, and on mastication it becomes gummy and stringy. This Swiss bread comes from the Societe de Guerre; it is paid for in England and comes addressed to individuals. In the month of April 5,560 bread parcels we!re received, containing each two loaves of 2 lb. each. The following figures illustrate the receipts during the weeks of May: 830, 1,700, 1,200, 1,200; total, 4,930. This falhng off is due in large part to the fact that the Savoy Associa- tion has cancelled its order for delivery from Berne. In AprU the estimated loss due to poor condition was 800 packages; in May the estimated loss has been almost one-half of the bread received. The bread from England (which is in transit all the way from two to five weeks), has arrived in very poor condition owing to mould, 30 to 40 per cent of it bemg unfit for food in AprU, while 80 per cent of it was unfit for food in May. There are two EngUsh breads that always arrive in perfect condition, i.e., those of Barker and the Army 4450—20* 842 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. and Navy Stores. Confronted with the shortage of bread, many- men in the camp have attempted to use the K-bread; of these a goodly proportion report that they caimot continue its use on account of symptoms and signs of iadigestion. No rehef is to be obtained from the canteen. The canteen no longer carries butter, sugar, or milk, and has practically no tinned meat of any kind. I inspected the canteen and found it to contain only a small supply of canned vegetables and some fresh vegetables. I am advised that the canteen has reached its present low ebb because the authorities at Ruhleben are not permitted to go on the open market to purchase food-stuffs; when they apply to the higher auth- orities they are informed that such foodstuffs are no longer available. Under these circumstances the men have fallen back upon their stored supplies, and a number of men in the camp are at present living largely on food supplies from abroad that have been in their possession for weeks or even months. These accumulated supplies are now being rapidly reduced, when they are exhausted the men will face a critical situation. I have attempted "to determine the arnount of food that comes in ' from abroad, but this is absolutely impossible except by stationing a number of men at the parcels delivery to open, count, and examine the contents of 10,000 packages during a week or more. There are now some twenty-five organisations sending packages of food into Ruhleben. Some of these organisations send to their members, others send to names that have been provided by friends, famiUes, or organisations. Appended is a list of the associations that more or less regularly send parcels to Ruhleben. At least one-haK of the food parcels coming into the camp proceed from sources outside of the lists. About 2,000 names are upon these various lists, some of these 2,000 receive private packages from their own famihes. These packages, together with those sent to the remaining 1,200 men, who subsist largely upon private packages, make up at least half of the total number; 250 men are known to receive practically no aid whatever from the outside, and 500 more receive packages so rarely that the contents are of little material aid. It is, for example, common experience for a man to receive one package a week or a fortnight "containing not more than the food supply for one day. About 1,600 of the British subjects draw relief funds. These men purchase in the canteen, or did when,it contained anything thfey wished. They also purchase to some extent from other prisoners. As stated, not only is very little on sale in the canteen, but the prices are very high for unit food value. In the camp is a group of some 300 or more men, who belong to a group at first termed "pro-German," but now termed "coimtryless" ("heimatslos"). These men were born in Germany, or have hved here since childhood; but since they were of British parentage they were technically regarded as of British citizenship, or at least not of German citizenship, though they are to a large extent German in interests and sympathies. Since these men are not upon the British relief lists, a special German relief was organised for their benefit some time ago. Through the instrumentahty, and largely through the War Documenis. 843 personal generosity, of Prince Max of Baden^ a relief fund of consid- erable size was raised in order to relieve the needs of these men who are interned in the British civilian camp; 100 of these men receive regularly one or the other of the following packages each week : — 1 pound jam. tu pound sardines, f pound sugar. | pound condensed milk. I pound sausage. | pound sugar, f pound condensed mUk. 80 grammes soap. i pound cocoa. Though these men receive nothing else from the outside, it is interesting to note that their sugar ration (they also receive the regular camp sugar ration) is much larger than the legal ration now authorised in Germany The 200 men not upon this German relief list received during the month of May about 2,000 packages of food- stuffs sent into the camp from friends, families, or associations in Germany. The contents of these packages, however, is low in food units, and, in particular, no meats are now being included in these packages. The interned men are deeply dissatisfied with the present state of affairs. It has always been their understanding that it was the policy and the intention of the German Government to supply them with a physiologically adequate ration. A review of the present ration of the prisoners of war indicates that it is the aim of the "Kriegser- nahrungsamt" to supply a ration which shall be physiologically adequate, though professedly containing little more than enough to cover minimum requirements; and it is believed that the official prisoners' rations contains as much as the daily food of many millions of German subjects. There is no question that the official prison ration is an adequate ration from the standpoint of animal nutrition. In addition to this allotted camp ration the prisoners possess the foods sent in from abroad as addenda. In the case of the Russian prisoners, these extra foodstuffs sent in from abroad are small in amount ; in the case of the French, moder- ate; in the case of the English, large. In aU the prison camps that I have visited it is the practice to prepare food for the number of men in the camp, irrespective of Nationality, in accordance with the menu of Professor BacUiaus. As a rule, the British prisoners take little or none of the food, and ,their share is eaten by prisoners of other nationalities. In Ruhleben, the state of affairs at present existing has convinced the interned civilans that the situation is, so to speak, reversed : that the German authorities seem to regard the foodstuffs sent in from abroad as this regular diet of the interned men, and the camp allotments as the addenda. Viewed purely as a problem in feeding from the standpoint of the nutritional needs qf the interned civiUans in Ruhleben, it yill be im- possible objectively and scientffically to attempt a solution of the existing problem in the absence of definite information as to what the German and British Governments wish to do. If the German Govern- ment will state what sum of money it will expend and for what particu- lar foodstuffs for the subsistence of the interned civilians in Ruhleben, 4450—201* 844 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. this information could then be transmitted to the British Government and to the Relief Associations hereia named, and also to the men them- selves. With such information ia hand, scientific and organised relief could be undertaken. If the British Government, the British Relief Associations, and the British interned civiUans can be informed that the German Government is prepared to appropriate so-and-so much money, which will provide rations covering three-fourths or one-half or one-fourth, or any other proportion of the food-needs of the camp, it will then be possible for them to determine upon proper measures for the alleviation of the present conditions of confusion, dissatisfaction, and need. There is no question that half the men interned in Ruhleben are to-day not as well fed as are the British prisoners of war.

Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Page. Foreign Office, June 23, 1916. YoTJR Excellency, — I have the honour to inform your Excel- lency that I have read with much concern the reports drawn up by Dr. A. E. Taylor, of the United States Embassy at BerUn, on the food supply and nutrition at Ruhleben, which you were good enough to enclose in your notes of the 30th ultimo and 20th instant. It appears from Dr. Taylor's last report that the food supplied by the German authorities to the interned civihans at Ruhleben during the week ending 14th June, if appUed to all the men, represented 846 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. less than half of the requisite food units. It also appears that much of the bread coming from outside Germany during the last month is of inferior quality or has arrived in bad condition. In my note of the 3rd instant, I had the honour to state that if the German Government are not in a position to feed the prisoners in their hands properly, it is clearly their duty to release them. His Majesty's Government are still awaiting reply to the German Government to their proposal that British and German civib'ans should be released, if over 50 and if over 45 in cases where they are unfit for service in the field, in both cases subject to the condition that there are no military reasons for their detention, and that they had intended, in the event of the German Government accepting this proposal, to make a further proposal. In view, however, of the serious state of affairs revealed in your Excellency's note, I shall be much obliged if your Excellency will request the United States Ambassador at Berlin by telegraph to propose to the German Government that the whole of the British civilians at Ruhleben shall be released in exchange for a similar number of German civilians interned in this coimtry. Should the German Government not accept this proposal within a week from the receipt by them of the telegraphic summary of this note, His Majesty's Government will be compelled to consider what course they should take with reference to the rations at present sup- plied to German civilians interned in this Country. I have, etc, E. GREY. APPENDIX DD. List of Certain Commissions and Committees set up to deal with Public Questions Arising out of the War.

Report. Sir, — By your minute of the 1st July last, we were appointed a Committee " to consider the best means of meeting the needs of British firms after the War as regards financial facilities for trade, particularly with reference to the financing of large overseas contracts, and to 888 War Documents . 889 prepare a detailed scheme for that purpose." We have not considered it necessary to take any large amount of evidence, the evidence given before other Conrniittees having been placed at our disposal; and the witnesses appearing before us have been called with the view of obtaining information upon specific questions 2. In view, however, of statements made by witnesses, it is desirable that we should state clearly our definitions of banking faciUties in the British sense, and of what we would call by the wider name of financial facilities. The former are properly limited to those which can be provided without a " lock-up " such as would impair the hquidity of funds and deposits a,t call and short notice. For this reason the usual practice of bankers here is to confine their advances as a rule to a currency not exceeding a few months. By financial facilities we mean, generally speaking, those which would involve a longer currency than this. 3. A careful study of the evidence above referred to, and our own knowledge of banking arrangements and faciUties, lead us to the conclusion that there exists to a considerable extent at the present time in this country the machinery and facilities for the finance alike of home trade and of large overseas contracts, and for carrying through much of the business which has been done by foreign banks. The British banks afford, we believe, liberal accommodation to the home producer. British bankers are not shy in making advances on the strength of their customer's known ability and integrity, and the charges for accommodation are we believe often lower than the corresponding charges in foreign countries. Similarly, the Colonial Banks and British-Foreign Banks and Bauking Houses render immense assistance to British trade abroad, and certainly in the Far East and in many parts of South America British banking faciUties do not fall short of those of any other nation. We find also that in the case of large contract operations British contractors with the assistance of Financial Houses have in the past been ready to provide large amounts of capital and to take considerable risks in connection with the operations which they have undertaken. 4. Our arrangements, however, are faulty in our not co- ordinating many of the faciUties mentioned in the previous paragraph. We recognize also that the British manufacturer may be frequently in want of finance of a kind which a British' Joint Stock Bank with liabiUties as above described could not prudelitly provide, whereas the German Banks in particular seem to have been able to afford special assistance at the inception of undertakings of the most varied description, and to have laid themselves out for stimulating their promotion and for carrying them through to a successful completioii. We conclude therefore that there is ample room for an Institution which, while not interfering unduly with the ordinary business done by the British Joint Stock Banks, by Colonial Banks, and by British- Foreign Banks and Banking Houses, would be able to assist British interests in a manner that is not possible under existing conditions. 15950—231* 890 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. 5. Such an Institution might in many ways be beneficial to the development of British industry and manufactures. It might in Certain cases, after careful examination, agree to make advances for the extension of existing manufacturing plant, or perhaps for the amal- gamation or co-ordination of certain works, so as to reduce the cost of production. It would assist these works to obtain orders abroad, and give them reasonable financial facihties for executing these orders. It should give a preference in matters of finance to orders which are to be executed in this country. 6. Such an Institution could also take a leading part in the inception of transactions and assist in connection with the machinery of overseas business. In the case of German manufacturers it frequently happens that on the Board of the manufacturing company there is a representative of a bank, and there seems little doubt from an examination of the information which is available that the German banks have exercised an amount of control over the manufacturing concerns in which they are interested, which would not be possible, even if it were desirable, in the United Kingdom. A large number of our manufacturing undertakings are wealthy concerns and would not tolerate for one moment interference by bankers in their affairs, and indeed would probably resent any inquiry into the nature of their business arrangements. Such manufacturing concerns however do require assistance when they transact overseas business. Take as a single instance the case of a Midland manufacturer selling goods to Italy. The ItaUan buyer has been accustomed to long credit, and if long credit is refused, the business will probably be impossible. The manufacturer sells goods for say, £50,000, and the payment of that price would leave him with a considerable margin of profit, but the offer of the Italian buyer to pay him the equivalent of £50,000 in lire at six or twelve months is not attractive. He would much rather accept a lower figure than £50,000 for a clean cash transaction in sterling, and it is in connection with such business as this that an Institution of the kind contemplated would be able to act as inter- mediary (taking part or the whole of the financial liability) with profit to itself and satisfaction to tJie manufacturer. 7. Or to take another case, that of a contractor who has entered into a contract with a foreign Government, payment being made as works proceeded, such payment being possibly in paper in a foreign currency, the contractor in that circumstance would willingly share his profit with an Institution which would be responsible for the finance of the securities receivalbe by him. 8. It would be essential in conducting business with manufacturers and merchants, that the Institution should draw and accept bills, and it should generally be in a position to undertake credit operations. It jnight be well to provide that a certain portion of uncalled capital, or a portion of paid up capital (if it is deemed wise to have all called up) should be reserved against this class of risk. 9. If an Institution is formed to carry out transactions of the kinds indicated in paragraphs 3 to 8 above, it follows that it must be War Documents . 891 equipped with knowledge of affairs in the countries with which it may doj business, and its managers must, by personal visits, acquaint themselves with the conditions of business in all important foreign centres. It must have their branches or agencies in those countries, and in this connection the exceptional position held by British- Foreign and Colonial Banks should be fully availed of. Instead of having to organize, as was the case with German banks, new sub- sidiary undertakings, the Institution would largely use, under agree- ment, the existing banks and the facihties which they can afford. 10. The Institution must be equipped with an up-to-date Inform- ation Department and this wiU of necessity play a large part in its usefulness and financial success. This might properly be called a Bureau d'Etudes, independent of the Commercial Intelligence Branch of the Board of Trade, but in close touch therewith and imder agree- ment entitled to all possible facihties. That such a Bureau is essential has been made abundantly clear by the evidence given by witnesses we have heard and also by the evidence given before other Conunittees. It would not necessarily deal only with schemes in which the Institution proposed to take financial interests, but might be made a centre for investigation of projects on behalf of others, and a considerable revenue might be obtained thereby. Chambers of Commerce and Joint Stock Banks which were disposed to help valuable clients, would no doubt avail themselves of the opportunities it would afford for information. One of the chief objects of the Bureau, for instance, would be the organization and keeping up to date of returns as to the status of firms abroad. It should also obtain the earliest information from abroad about new business openings, large contracts offering. State and other loan and issue proposals, etc. If it were found that foreign firms were securing business in competition with British firms, or were developing business that British traders were leaving alone, the causes should be at once investigated. The periodical journeys abroad of the Institution's managers and representatives would supplement the information that would be gained through diplomatic and official channels. 11. The Bureau would also have to undertake the examination of industrial projects. This would be a costly business, as it would be necessary to have upon its staff men whose opinion upon technical questions would enable it to investigate thoroughly matters brought up for consideration. It would, however, avail itself of the services of the eminent consulting engineers, consulting chemists, etc., whom we possess in this country. 12. It is absolutely clear that the personnel of the Institution would call for great discrimination. It seems to be generally agreed that the lines upon which a Joint Stock Bank is constituted would not be applicable in the case of the new concern. 13. An Executive Committee consisting of a whole-time Chair- man and three Managing Directors would appear essential. (There would probably be three distinct departments, Financial, Industrial 892 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. and Commercial. No doubt there would be over-lapping between the departments, but this would be immaterial.) They would draw good fixed salaries and would be entitled to a substantial share in profits. There should be a General Board of Directors, composed of men with banking, financial, industrial and commercial knowledge, and in close touch with the leading industries of the country. 14. Nearly as important as the Board would be the General Staff. It is fair to assume that women will in the futm-e take a considerable share ra purely clerical work, and this fact will enable the Institution to take fuller advantage of the qualifications of its male staff to push its affairs in every quarter of the globe. Youths should not be engaged without a language quaUfication and after a few year's training they should be sent abroad. It could probably be arranged that associated banks abroad would agree to employ at each of their principal branches one of the Institution's clerks, not necessarily to remain there for an indefinite period, but to get a knowledge of the trade and characteristics of the country. Such clerks might in many cases sever their connection with the banks to which they were appointed and start in business on their own account. They would, however, probably look upon the Institution as their "Alma Mater." Every endeavour should be made to promote "esprit de corps," and where exceptional abihty is developed, it should be ungrudingly rewarded. If industry is to be extended, it is essential that British products should be pushed, and manufacturers, merchants and bankers must combine to push them. It is believed that this pushing could be assisted by the creation of a body of business young men in the way above described. 15. In this connection it is perhaps worth pointing out that at the close of the War there may be a considerable number of educated young men who will not be wilhng to settle down again to the hum- drum of an office, and from these it should be possible to select a number who would be desirous of going to the Colonies and foreign countries to push business on their own account. In the case of labouring men, the Government are contemplating the establishment of Land Settlements, etc., at considerable expense, and similarly it has been suggested that Government assistance might be given to the class above-mentioned, who would probably require the advance of some capital to enable them to make a start. The Institution might act as agent for the Government in this connection. With caution in the selection of men and if a careful watch is kept over them by the Institution's agents, the risk attaching to such advances should not be great. The Institution could hardly undertake to make these advances on its own account as they would not fall under the category of " business," but it would be in a position to afford the Government protection against fraud. The reluctance on the part of young men to go abroad in recent years has been brought to our notice, and we think it is very desirable that a spirit of enterprise should be encouraged and that an incentive should be given to them to set up in business in foreign countries. War Documents . 893 16. In the case of young men with some little means of their own, the Institution should be willing — after careful examination of credentials — to grant larger and longer credits than have been customary with existing banks. The principle of becoming special partners in a business for a period of years will be well worth the consideration of the management when the Institution is formed. 17. The evidence perused by us indicates the necessity for fuller financial facilities for home industries, especially in connection with the enlargement of works and the financing of contracts, and where it is demonstrated that a lock-up of capital for an indefinite period is not involved, assistance might be provided by the Institution to meet these requirements. 18. If financial assistance is given by the Government to under- takings in connection with what are known as " key " industries, the business should, if possible, be done through the medium of the Institution, and it should be appointed an agent for carrying through foreign commercial and financial transactions in which the Govern- ment may be interested. 19. Foreign banks have, in most of their operations, adopted the course of forming syndicates to undertake any business of considerable magnitude. They have headed such syndicates and they have taken the labouring oar in connection with investigations. The members of the syndicate have generally included other banks, and associated with them have been those who are practically interested in the class of business proposed to be done. These syndicates are formed after the first superficial inquiry has satisfied the banks that there is apparently a good business to be done. Directly this point is reached, the ex- penditure in connection with thorough investigation is on account of the syndicate. If the business is ultimately proceeded with, the profits or losses on the wind-up of the business are shared pro rata after allowance to the bank for management. Some such procedure should be followed here. It would enable the Institution to undertake business of a comprehensive character, and its " imprimatur " would have value when issues were made to the pubUc. 20. Many new undertakings intrinsically sound have been issued in the EngUsh market. The capital has been based upon estimates of expenditure made by reputable engineers, but owing to unforeseen circiunstances the actual cost has far exceeded those estimates and, as a consequence, further capital has frequently had to be raised at higher rates of interest and in a form (such as prior lien bonds) which has had a disastrous effect upon the securities originally subscribed for by the pubhc. An Institution issue, whether of debentures or shares, should be an assurance to the pubUc that until final completion there would be no risk of the priorities given at the time of issue being interfered with by pre-preference creations. 21. In the financial operations of the Institution the desirability of assisting British trade and of placing with British manufactiirers orders in connection with new undertakings should be always be borne in mind. 894 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. 22. It is desirable that the Institution without coining under Government control should receive as much official recognition as possible. Our Foreign Office should, for instance, be asked to instruct British Embassies and Legations abroad to put the Institution's representatives in contact with all Commercial Attaches, Consuls, etc., with clear instructions to them that the Institution is a commercial concern enjoying the full confidence and approval of the Government; and similar instructions should be given by the Board of Trade to their Trade Coromissioners in the Dominions. 23. Having assured ourselves that the creation of an Institution of the character referred to above would not imduly interfere with existing Banks, Banking Houses, or Financial Institutions, we recom- mend the formation of a new Bank to fill the gap between the Home Banks and the Colonial and British-Foreign Banks and Banking Houses, and to develop facilities not provided by the present systems. 24. The Bank should be called the " British Trade Bank " and should be constituted under Royal Charter. Its chief features should be as follows: — (I) It should have a capital of £10,000,000. The first issue should be from £2,500,000 to £5,000,000 upon which in the first instance only a small amount should be paid up, but which should all be called lip within a reasonable time. A further issue should be made afterwards, if possible, at a premium. (II) It should not accept deposits at call or short notice. (III) It should only open current accounts for parties who are proposing to make use of the overseas f aciUties which it would afford. (IV) It should have a Foreign Exchange Department where special facilities might be afforded for dealing with bills in foreipi ciirrency. (V) It should open a Credit Department for the issue of credits to parties at home and abroad. (VI) It should enter into banking agency arrangements with existing Colonial or British-Foreign Banks where ever they could be conciiid'ed upon reasonable terms, and where such arrangements were made, it should undertake not to set up for a specified period its own Branches or Agencies. It should have power to set up Branches or Agencies where no British-Foreign Bank of importance exists. (VII) It should inaugurate an Information Bureau upon the lines indicated in paragraphs 10 and 11. War Documents . 895 (VIII) It should endeavour not to interfere in any business for which existing Banks and Banking Houses now provide facilities, and it should try to promote working transactions on joint account with other Banks, and should invite other Banks to submit to it new transactions which, owing to length of time, magnitude or other reasons, they are not prepared to undertake alone. (IX) Where desirable, it should co-operate with the merchant and manufacturer and possibly accept risks upon joint account. (X) It should become a centre for syndicate operations, availijig itself of the special knowledge which it will possess through its Information Bureau. (XI) It should receive Government assistance in the ways referred to in paragraphs 18 and 22. 25. We are of opinion that there are strong reasons why the Bank should be formed without delay so that preliminaries may be com- pleted before the War is over. Our enemies are sure to make at the earUest moment strenuous efforts to regain their position in the world of commerce and finance, and it may well be that when peace comes, unemplojrment may be rife at home unless new markets are exploited. It seems to us desirable, therefore, to ascertain in advance the require- ments of foreign countries and the whereabouts of raw materials for our industries. 26. We beUeve that a Bank constituted upon the above bases, with ejQScient management, should not only be a great boon to British trade but should prove a commercial success. 27.

Note addressed to the United States Ambassador regarding the Examination of Parcels and Letter Mails. [In continuation of "Miscellaneous, No. 20 (1916)": Cd. 8261.] No. 1. Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Page, United States Ambassador at London. Foreign Office, July 20, 1916. Your Excellency, — On the 24th May the Secretary of State handed to the British and French Ambassadors at Washington a note regarding the examination of mails on neutral ships by the Allied Governments.* I have now the honour to transmit to your Excellency for the information of the Government of the United States a memorandum examining certain specific allegations made in paragraph 8 of that note. As stated in the enclosed memorandum, this communication is not to be regarded as a reply to the various arguments put forward by the United States Government. These are being carefully considered by the several Allied Governments in consultation. The present conunumcation is merely intended to dispose of certain statements made with special reference to the conduct of the censorship by His Majesty's Government. Unless your Excellency has any objection, I propose to publish this memorandum on the 24th July. I have, &c. E. GREY. Enclosure in No. 1. Memorandum. The reply of the AlUed Governments to the note addressed by the Secretary of State of the United States to His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington on the 24th May regarding the examination of mails on neutral ships, will be communicated to the Government of the United States as soon as the arguments contained in that note have been fully considered by the Allied Governments in consultation. Since, how- ever, the note contains, in paragraph 8, certain specific instances •See "Miscellaneous, No. 20 (1916)": Cd. 8261. 896 War Documents . 897 affecting the conduct of the work of examination by the British Censo- ship, His Majesty's Government desire to deal with these instances in advance and in detail. In that paragraph allusion is made to a large number of com- plaints of which no particulars are given. Only four specific instances of these complaints are cited, and they are put forward in a form which in the absence of any of the details which His Majesty's Government have repeatedly asked for as necessary to identify and trace the occurrences complained of, makes it difficult to investigate them. The following facts have, however, been ascertained in regard to them : — Mac-Niff Horticultural Company, New York. It is stated that the shipping documents relating to perishable goods for this firm were removed from the " New Amsterdam," " Oosterdijk," and " Rotterdam." The mails on these three ships were removed for examination on the 10th February, 17th February, and 25th February respectively. The mails from the " New Amster- dam " were forwarded again, part by the "Cedric " on the 17th February and part by the " Lapland " on the 25th February. The mails on the " Oosterdijk " were forwarded by the " Lapland " on the 25th February. The mails from the " Rotterdam " were forwarded, part by the " Cameronia," sailing the 4th March, and part by the " Cedric," sailing the 8th March. It was not until the 22nd March that a note was received from the United States Ambassador, enclosing a copy of a letter from the Mac-Niff Horticultural Company, and stating that the Company anticipated difficulties of this kind in regard to their shipments, the first of which was due to arrive about the beginning of March. The possiblity of preventing such losses to neutrals was considered by His Majesty's Government immediately on receipt of the Ambassador's note, and on the 14th April a reply was sent to his Excellency offering to place a special censorship staff at ports of call in order to examine separate mail-bags, labelled "Shipping Documents," and to reforward such documents by the same ship without unloading them with the rest of the mail. It will therefore be seen that, when specific complaints of this kind are made, action has been taken immediately to prevent damage to neutral interests, and the loss sustained by the Mac-Niff Horticultural Company, which His Majesty's Government much regret, was due to the specific complaint not having reached His Majesty's Government in time to enable them to apply the new system to this firm's shipments. -The Standard Underground Cable Company, Pittsburg. The Government of the United States appear to insinuate that the delay in this company's mail to Christiania was directly connected with the fact that a British competitor obtained a contract for which that company had been tendering. His Majesty's Government are astonished that such an insinuation should be made. They are the more surprised at it as the complaint from the Underground Cable Company clearly appears not even to have been adequately examined. 898 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. The contracts alluded to are presumably those recently made by the Christiania Municipal Electricity Works. Out of seven contracts placed by these Works of which His Majesty's Government have record, five were allotted to American firms and only two to British firms; and in spite of the extremely dangerous nature of consignments of copper to Scandinavia, in view of the German attempts to obtain that article through contiguous countries. His Majesty's Government went out of their way to take all possible steps to faciUtate the despatch from the United States to Norway of the goods necessary to execute the American contracts, including 205,000 kilog. electrolytic coppa- wire, 10,800 kilog. of electrolytic copper, 12,000 kilog. of copper tubes, and 10,800 kilog. of copper sheets and bars. Of the two orders placed with British firms, one small one was placed on the 2nd February, 1916, and the other, for a larger amount, on the 8th April, 1916. In this latter case, the call for tenders was issued on the 14th February, the date specified for closing being noon on the 30th March, and the British firm tendered on the 17th March. As the first direct inward-bound mails from the United States for Scandinavia on ships passing round the north of Scotland removed for examination by the British censorship were those on the " HeUig Olav," whiph called at Kirkwall on the 28th March, it is difficult to understand the assertion made by the United States Government that, owing to the detention by the British censorship of the Standard Underground Cable Company's tender, the contract was, " after weeks of waiting," awarded to a British competitor, and, in the absence of further details, it can only be concluded that, the American com- pany's tender never passed through the hands of the British censor- ship, or that it related to a contract which was not awarded to a British firm. Money Order Lists. This complaint must be left for consideration in the final reply of the Allied Goverimients, as it involves questions of principle on which consultation between these Govermnents is still in progress. Mails from the " Medan." The facts stated in the United States note are correct except that it is not made clear, though it is the fact, that the neutral mail bags removed from the " Medan " were all sent on by the 12th February, and that the 182 bags lost in the " Mecklenburg " were without exception for enemy destination. American trade, or correspondence with neutral countries, was therefore not affected by the loss of the " Mecklenburg," and the loss of the mails destined for enemy countries was due to the illegal sowing of mines, with no military object, by the enemy themselves. It will be seen that these specific complaints do not support the general charges against the efficiency of the British censorship which the Government of the United States have put forward in their note. His Majesty's Government will always be ready to explain in detail the working of the censorship, as there is nothing in regard to it which they War Documents . 899 desire to conceal. His Majesty's Government desire to emphasize most strongly the fact that they have had many instances of com- plaints against their censorship, which on examination proved to arise from the wrong direction of letters, the irregular saiUngs of neutral mail boats, such as the Dutch boats during the week following the sinking of the " Tubantia," and from other similar causes entirely outside the control of His Majesty's Govenmaent, and often directly due to the action of their enemies. They are obliged therefore to disclaim responsibility for occurrences complained of until they have first been given the opportunity of investigating such occurrences in detail. ^Foreign Office, July 20, 1916.

The American Ambassador presents his compliments to His Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and, with reference to the note Sir Edward Grey was good enough to address to Mr. Page on the 23rd June* concerning the food supply to British civilians interned at Ruhleben, has the honour to enclose herewith a copy of a letter, dated the 4th instant, from the Ambassador at Berlin together with a copy of the note verbale from the German Government upon which was based the telegram communicated to Sir E.

Sir, — ^With reference to my telegram of to-day's date, as well as to your communication of the 28th ultimo, enclosing a copy of the British Foreign Office's note of the 23rd June, in regard to food *See " Miaoellaneoua, No. 21 (1916)," No. 6. 900 War Documents . 901 conditions at Ruhleben and the proposal for the release of all the British civihans interned in that camp, I have the honour to transmit herewith an original copy of a note from the Imperial Foreign Office, dated the 2nd instant, of which a copy will also be forwarded to the Department of State at Washington. I have, etc., JAMES W. GERARD. (Translation.) Enclosure 2 in No. 1. Note verbale. With reference to the United States Embassy's notes of the 10th, 14th, 16th, 19th, 21st, and 26th ultimo, relative to the treatment of the British subjects interned at Ruhleben, and to a proposal for their release, the Foreign Office have the honour to reply as follows : — The German Government emphatically repudiate the suggestion of the British Government that they do not fully recognize their obligations in the matter of providing food for their prisoners. There is equally little truth in the statement made by the British Government that the allowance of food supplied to British civilian prisoners is reckoned according to a lower standard than that supplied to British prisoners of war, the fact being that the regulations governing the feeding of prisoners are uniform for all classes. Moreover, the report by Dr. Taylor, transmitted by the British Government, will be carefully verified and the result communicated in due time [?"worden" for " werden " in German text]. As regards Dr. Taylor, it may be observed that on the occasions of his visits to the camp-kitchens he has frequently addressed to the officer in charge of the arrangements for the feeding of the prisoners appreciative remarks concerning the quality of the food. The proposal that collective parcels should be allowed to be sent to Mr. Powell, the captain of the camp, for the benefit of those prisoners who receive no private parcels, as requested by the British Govern- ment, has received the consent of the military authorities. Such parcels must not, however, contain a preponderant proportion of those forms of food which the German nation are debarred from obtaining, except in limited quantities, as the result of the starvation campaign waged by Great Britain. Should the British Government, as a measure of retahation, introduce any restrictions whatsoever in the rations issued to German civiUan prisoners interned in England, the German miUtary authorities will be obliged not only to withdraw permission for the receipt of collective parcels, but also to prohibit the receipt of private parcels of every description, and to regulate the camp fare in Germany to correspond with the British restrictions. 902 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. The German Government are not opposed in principle to the British proposal for the release of all British civilian prisoners. The project could not, however, be carried out on the basis of making the release of the British prisoners dependent upon the release of a similar number of German prisoners interned in England, as such an exchange would, in the first place, meet with insuperable difficulties in coimection with the selection of the German prisoners who should benefit by the arrangement. The suggestion could only be carried into effect if all interned persons in boui countries were to be set free and granted permission to leave the country. The German, Government reserve a further communication relative to the details of an agreement on this basis, and would suggest, in the meantime, that a statement should be transmitted from the British Government regarding their general attitude towards this proposal. Berlin, July 2, 1916. No. 2. Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Page. The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs presents his com- pliments to the United States Ambassador, and has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of his Excellency's notes of the 5th and 8th instant, respecting the diet of the British civiUans interned at Ruhleben, and the question of their exchange. Sir E. Grey notes that the German Government repudiate the assertion of His Majesty's Government that they do not recognize their obUgation to feed the prisoners properly, and that the civilians receive smaller rations than the military prisoners. He also notes that the German Government are verifying Dr. Taylor's report and will communicate the result in due course. His Majesty's Government await with interest the conclusions of the German Government in regard to this matter. They have full confidence that the enquiry will completely bear out the conclusions arrived at by Dr. Taylor. With regard to the question of the exchange of British and German civilian prisoners of war, His Majesty's Government would be unable to agree to the repatriation of all the German civilians interned in this country in exchange for all the British civilians interned in Germany, as this would involve the release of about 26,000 Germans in exchange for about 4,000 British subjects. In these circumstances, His Majesty's Government will be obliged if Mr. Gerard will be good enough to renew to the German Govermnent the proposal already made to them, namely, that all civilians, on both sides, over the age of 50 years shall be r^atriated, as alsd those over 45 years who are unfit for service in the field, with the exception of certain persons to be retained for military reasons. To that proposal His Majesty's Government would now add that the War Documents . 903 persons so retained shall not exceed twenty on each side; and, further, that the remaining British civilians, wherever interned, including the merchant seamen of all classes who are not embodied in His Majesty's naval forces, and the retired British officers, and an equal number of German civilians, shall be interned in a neutral country. Sir E. Grey will be glad to receive at as early a date as possible the reply of the German Government to the above proposals, and ventures to hope that Mr. Page will transmit them to Mr. Gerard by telegraph.

The American Ambassador presents his compUments to His Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and has the honour to transmit herewith enclosed a copy of a letter he has received from the Ambassador at BerUn, dated the 28th ultimo, regarding the housing of the prisoners of war at the camp at Ruhleben. American Embassy, London, July 17, 1916. Enclosure in No. 3. Mr. Gerard to Mr. Page. American Embassy, Berlin, June 28, 1916. giR^_The reports of Dr. Taylor, our food expert, already sent to you, give in detail conditions of the food supply in Ruhleben. I regret to state that practically no improvement in the housmg of the prisoners has been made. The barracks at Ruhleben are over- crowded. The Imperial authorities, after nearly two years of war, have certamly had ample time to provide accommodation for the prisoners. It is intolerable that people of education should be herded six together in a horse's stall, and in some of the lofts the bunks touch one another. The hght for reading is bad, and reading is a necessity if these poor prisoners are to be detained during another winter. In the hay-lofts above the stables conditions are even worse, i or example, in Barrack No. 2 one half-section of the loft is, at the centre, about 10 feet from the floor from the highest point, and the loft slopes downwards, so that at the sides it is only 4| feet above the floor, i he floor of this part of the loft is about 10.20 metres by 12.80 metres. The beds are so close together that they touch. In this confined space sixty-four men live. The Hght from the Uttle windows is so famt that 15950—24* 904 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. prisoners' eyes will be seriously injured, if the sight is not permanently lost, and this semi-darkness will undoubtedly cause depression and mental trouble. The heating system should be improved and provision made for the drying of clothes by radiators or a drying-room in each barrack. The prisoners are obliged to answer roll calls outside, often in the rain, and have no means of drying their soaked garments. Many things, such as soap, usually issued to prisoners, even in gaols, I am informed, have never been given to the prisoners at Ruhle- ben. Various authorities from time to time have promised that the housing would be bettered. The present conditions should no longer prevail; during another winter they will be impossible. The camp authorities, who, I am satisfied, do all in their power to better conditions, have no authority to make these needed improve- ments, but the conditions I describe must be evident to any inspector acting on behalf of such authorities as may be above the camp com- mander. I have, etc., JAMES W. GERARD. No. 4. Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Page. The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs presents his com- pliments to the United States Ambassador and has the honour to refer to his Excellency's note of the 17th instant enclosing a copy of a despatch from the United States Ambassador at BerUn respecting the conditions obtaining at the camp at Ruhleben. Sir E. Grey learns with much concern thatthe conditions under which the prisoners are interned are in many respects extremely unsatisfactory. It w©uld appear that practically no improvement in the housing of the prisoners has been made, that six men are still housed in one horse-box, which, as Mr. Gerard says, is intolerable, and that the light for reading is bad. Unfortunately the conditions in the hay-lofts seem to be even worse than those prevailing in the boxes, one loft is only 4§ feet high at the sides and sixty-four men are crowded into a space 10.20 metres by 12.80 metres. The loft is in semi-darkness. The effect on the mental and physical state of the prisoners of such conditions is too obvious to need comment. Sir E. Grey had hoped that the construction of six new barracks referred to in Mr. Gerard's despatch enclosed in Mr. Page's note of the 21st May, 1915, had removed cause for serious complaint as regards overcrowding, and he learns with great regret that this is not the case. Sir E. Grey entirely agrees with Mr. Gerard as to the need for the provision of a drying room in each barrack. He does not, however, War Documents . 905 think that the German authorities could be pressed to provide soap, as it is not provided free of charge in the internment camps in this country. Sir E, Grey trusts that an arrangement will be arrived at with the German Government for the release of all the British civilians interned in Germany, but as the necessary negotiations may require some time he would be much obliged if Mr. Gerard would represent to the German Government the deplorable conditions prevailing at Ruhleben as regards overcrowding, and urge them to take immediate steps to provide more accommodation for the prisoners. Sir E. Grey thinks that the erection of tents would be a satisfactory method of dealing with the matter, pending the construction of new barracks.

Correspondence with His Majesty's Minister at Berne respecting the Question of Reprisals against Prisoners of War. No. 1. Mr. E. Grant Duff, His Majesty's Minister at Berne, to Sir Edward Grey. (Received July 20.) Bekne, July 19, 1916. Sib, — I have the honour to forward herewith a letter addressed to His Majesty's Government by the International Committee of the Red Cross, drawing attention to the barbarous practice of reprisals against prisoners of war practised by some of the belligerent Governments. I have, etc., EVELYN GRANT DUFF. Enclosure in No. 1. Translation of Letter from the International Red Cross Committee to Belligerent and Neutral Countries. The Red Cross, which, we are happy to say, has greatly developed during the present war, and which has exercised widely among belligerents, with the assistance of neutral Powers, its beneficent influence, was founded with one object, that of humanity. Its creation was inspired by the desire to mitigate to some extent the hardships of war, particularly among those whom wounds, though not fatal, have rendered weak and harmless. In the course of this war the vast munber of combatants has produced a class of unfortunates of an almost novel type; for, if that class existed before, it never attained its present proportions. We refer to the prisoners of war. These, too, are powerless, incapable of resistance, deUvered to the tender mercies of the enemy, who has compelled them to lay down their arms and to plead for their Uves. The prisoner who has emerged from the battle unscathed is certainly less to be pitied than the soldier who has been wounded and is confined to a hospital bed. Nevertheless, captivity, that involuntary exile, far from home, far from kindred, with whom communications are rare and uncertain, combined with prolonged idleness, causes moral torture, which grows as the war continues. We recognize that in general the belUgerents have done what they could to make the Uves of the prisoners bearable and to avoid adding War Documents . 907 physical hardships to their unhappy lot. The tours of inspection by our delegates have revealed great improvements both in the organ- ization of the camps and in the treatment of the prisoners. But we have recently observed that a principle has been asserted, the appli- cation of which tends to become daily more vigorous: the principle of reprisals on prisoners of war. Should a belligerent State have reason to beUeve that its soldiers in the hands of the enemy are not treated as they should be or that one of them has received unmerited punishment, it does not attempt to appeal to its adversary's feelings of generosity, nor does it address itself to the neutral Powers with the request that they will impress on the enemy concerned the considerations of humanity and justice. It has immediate recourse to the law of retahation and acts in excess of its grievances. It hopes that the severity of the reprisals will compel the adversary to yield; and if the adversary, on the contrary, proceeds to further steps, they are countered by still more rigorous measures. And then occurs what we see to-day, the development of the practice of reprisals into a barbarous competition of which the motive is vengeance, and of which the incidence is borne by those who are both innocent and powerless, until their cry of suffering touches their Government and compels it to renounce the measures taken against the prisoners in its hnads. These reprisals are all the more unjust and cruel in that they are often provoked by inaccurate information. The International Red Cross Committee cannot remain indifferent before that spectacle, before the repudiation of the principle on which the Red Cross is foimded. War is in itself a scourge enough without increasing by inhuman practices and by useless severity the evils it brings in its train. Again, after the termination of hostiUties, if the nations hope to attain a lasting peace, will not reconcilliation be much more difficult after hatred has been fomented not so much by open and straightforward warfare as by the suffering inflicted in cold blood on unhappy defenceless prisoners? We therefore, true to the duty which the status of the Inter- national Committee imposes on us, implore the belUgerents to abandon the practice of reprisals on prisoners of war, and to renounce the principle which inspires it. Do not endeavour, we say, to exercise pressure on your enemies by the chastisement you infhct on those of their people who are at your mercy. Is not that a reversion to methods of barbarism unworthy of nations which have given to the Red Cross the position it occupies in their armies? You are greatly concerned for the wounded, on whom you lavish cares, no matter under what flag they have fought. In that respect, - all testimony is unanimous. Why then should prisoners be treated in an entirely different manner? You complain that your people suffer unjustly in their captivity; why then not appeal to your opponent's sense of justice? Why not offer, should he respond to your appeal, to accord to his people a like favour? And, if you have difficulty in approaching him, why not sent him that message through a neutral? Those are the ideals which should, ;as it seems to us, in the place of the present practice of reprisals, stimulate your rivaby: the rivalry of justice and of himaanity, which, leaving behind memories of gratitude, would help to extinguish the fires of hatred, the great obstacle to peace. 908 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Accordingly we do not hesitate to move the belligerents to adopt in the treatment of prisoners of war the methods indicated above. In giving effect on the prisoners' behalf to the motto of the Red Cross, " Inter arma caritas," the nations would^ render was less cruel, and would give a new impetus to civilization.

Sir, — ^With reference to your despatch of the 19th ultimo, I transmit to you herewith the reply of His Majesty's Government to the letter from ^e International Red Cross Committee which accompanied your despatch. I have to request you to communicate that reply to the Inter- national Committee. I am, etc., GREY OF FALLODON. Enclosure in No. 2. Memorandum communicated to International Red Cross Committee. The International Red Cross Committee have addressed to belligerent and neutral nations a letter, dated the 12th July, 1916, in which the Committee plead the cause of prisoners of war and deprecate the adoption by beUigererits of the policy of reprisals. , His Majesty's Government have throughout the period of hostiUties discountenanced that policy on account of its iridiscrimi- nating and unjust operation. A succession of outrages has, however, been prepetrated by the orders, or with the cognizance and approval, of the German Govern- ment, of which the cumulative effect has been to strain the temper and patience of the British people to the breaking point and to create a situation of the utmost gravity. It is unnecessary to attempt an exhaustive enximeration of those outrages, but among them may be mentioned the sinking, in con- travention of the law of nations and the usages of war and in defiance of the most elementary principles of humanity, of the vessels " Lusitania " and " Sussex," whereby himdreds of defenceless civilians many of them women and children, were sent to their deaths to the unconcealed satisfac;fcion of the German press and people; the brutal War Documents . 909 execution of Nurse Cavell, whose sex and the fact that she had spent a blameless life devoted to the alleviation of suffering, and since the war had even nursed wounded German soldiers, should have been sufficient to secure a mitigation of her sentence; the criminal desertion by the German authorities of the camps for prisoners of war at Witten- berg and Gardelegen at a time when the luif ortunate captives interned there were stricken with disease, itself aggravated, if not initiated, by callous disregard on the part of those in charge for the ordinary hygienic precautions which were essential in a crowded concentration camp; the confiscation by the German Government of about 20 per cent of the remittances sent to British prisoners of war (combatant and civiUan) interned in Germany; and the execution of the captain of the steam- ship " Brussels " after he had been sentenced to death for having committed an act of self-defence well recognized by the laws of war on sea. The International Committee appeal to the beUigerent Powers not to attempt to obtain redress for their grievances by resort to reprisals, but to request the neutral Powers to impress on the enemy concerned the considerations of humanity and justice. His Majesty's Government readily respond to that appeal, being confident that the neutral Powers and the International Committee will recognize that the demand for reprisals grows in volume and urgency with the recurrence of abuses, and that the sm-est means of avoiding reprisals is to promote the abandonment of the policy which inspires them.

Report upon the Treatment and Training of Disabled and Dis- charged Soldiers in France. By Captain Sir Henry Norman, Bt., M.P., Liaison OflSicer of the Ministry of Munitions to the French Ministry of Inventions. The Right Hon. D. Lloyd George, M.P. (Secretary of State for War.) Sir, — On September 21st I received your letter asking me to furnish you with a report upon the French system and method of deaUng with the problem of the medical treatment and training of disabled and discharged soldiers in France, in all its aspects, both from the medical and administrative standpoints. Your letter proceeded: — " I should also like to know how far you consider the French organisation can be adapted to our requirements here, having regard to the differences which exist in the military arrange- ments in both countries. " There appears to be some difference of opinion here as to the results already achieved in France. I should, therefore, be glad to know what you consider to be the weak as well as the strong points in the French system, and any proposals you may have to suggest for its improvement." You further desire me, in view of the urgency of the problem in England, to send my report as soon as possible. The re-education of disabled and mutilated soldiers has evoked profound interest in Friance, funds have been generously voted for it, and both officially and privately the most earnest thought and the most strenuous personal efforts have been devoted to it. But owing to the great pressure of the demand for help, and doubtless also to the success of individual activities, it has not yet been found possible to give the subject definite official centralised form; it is still under the control of several .Ministries, until important pending changes receive the sa,nction of Parliament; the training centres are situated in a number of cities widely apart; and conflicting opinions on many points are held by the highest authorities. For these reasons, together with the na,tural breadth and com- plexity of the subject, much time would be required for a compre- hensive survey. In view, however, of the urgency you impress upon me, I beg to forward the following provisional Report, asking only that you will be good enough to regard it as necessarily imperfect, and subject both to correction and to amplification. 910 War Documents . 911 HiSTOET AND DEVELOPMENT OF FrENCH ADMINISTRATIVE Control. During the first anxious and pre-occupied period of the war, all disabled French soldiers were regarded as destined to come under the care of the " Assistance Pubhque," corresponding generally to our Poor Law, which is administered by the Ministry of the Interior. After a time, however, this elementary point of view was modified, as everybody came to reaUse that the disabled soldier was in no respect in the same category as the aged or invalid pauper, the abandoned child, and the mother without means of support. He was not neces- sarily lost to society, but was to be restored to independent industrial life in a greater or less degree of efficiency. Accordingly in April 1915, an " Inter-ministerial Commission " was formed, under the chairmanship of Monsieur Brisac, Directeur de 1' Assistance Pubhque, consisting of representatives of the Ministries of War, Marine, PubUc Instruction, Commerce and Agriculture. lUhe duty of this Commission was to study the question in all its aspects, to settle the principles upon which it should be treated, and to assign Parliamentary funds. The State then proceeded, about a year ago, to found two schools for the re-education of disabled soldiers. These, however, were placed under the Ministry of the Interior, which supports them, and at the same time gives subventions to private institutions from a credit of 2,000,000 francs (80,000Z.) voted by Parliament. Larger sums for the general purpose have since been voted. The first of these schools was the Institute de St. Maurice, near Paris, formerly a convalescent and permanent home for civil accidents from the Paris hospitals. The second was the Ecole Nor- male at Bordeaux. This, founded later and therefore benefiting from newer developments, was the more scientific, and was intended to be a model school of re-education. It is under the direction of a distinguished physician. Dr. Gourdon. At this particular school attention is given to those who have lost an arm, and they are pro- vided with artificial arms on the system of Professor Amar, described hereafter. It became evident, however, to the Chamber and the Govern- ment that the re-education of the disabled soldier would become far too great a ta,sk to be undertaken by any one Ministry with heavy existing duties, and that in any case the Ministry of the Interior was hardly the right department to be responsible for it, as it had passed entirely out of the scope of Poor Law administration, and much con- fusion was arising from thie simultaneous activity of many separate and sometimes conflicting authorities. The situation at this time was that no fewer than four Ministries were actively engaged in deaUng with the question. These were: — 1. The Ministry of the Interior, as already explained; 2. The Ministry of War, through the Under-Secretary of State for the Service of Health (corresponding in its administrative functions to our Royal Army Medical Corps), because the question concerned the health of soldiers in miUtary hospitals; 912 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. 3. The Ministry of Commerce, because technical instruction, which is one of the functions of this Ministry, for disabled Soldiers would become necessary; 4. The Ministry of Labour, because the replacing of disabled and crippled men in trades, and the arrangement of specia^l conditions of employers' insurance for them, was obviously a labour question. Ckbation of a Central Authority. The result of these independent and often conflicting activities was inevitably confusion, overlapping and waste. Therefore on the initiative of the Minister of Labour, a co-ordinating scheme was created by interministerial decrees of March 2nd and 16th, and May 11th, 1916, known as the " National Office for Mutilated and Dis- charged Soldiers." The Presidents are Monsieur Albert Metin, Minister of Labour, an4 Monsieur Justin Godart, Under-Secretary of State for War for the Service of Health, with Mondeur Brisac, Director of Public Assistance and Hygiene, as President of the Com- mission of Re-education. The creation of ^his National Office, and the provision of fulids for its support, were voted unanimously by the Chamber of Deputies, and it is now in operation at 95, Quai ^d'Orsay, although the Senate has as yet taken no action in the matter. The object of the National Office is to co-ordinate the woi-k of public departments and institutions dealing with discharged and mutilated soldiers, and to centralise all useful information oh the subject. It is composed of an Administrative Committee, a Conrniission of Re-education, and/a Council fpr the Study of Improvements (" Conseil de perfectionnment ")• The National Office will— 1. Keep a register of every soldier who by reason pf wounds or illness resulting from the war has thereby suffered an import&iit and permanent" diminution of professional capacity, his civil- status, his jnilitary situation, the nature of his invalidity, his previous occupation, and the new occupation he may have adopted because of his invalidity; 2.

It is now generally regarded as inadequate, and Parliament will probably increase each pension by an additional sum for each child of a disabled soldier. Further, in fact, though not by right, almost every soldier who has lost a limb has received the Military Medal, which carries an annual grant of 100 francs. The Legioil of Honour, which many have also received for acts of exceptional courage, carries an annual grant of 260 francs. The sum payable to a disabled man while awaiting his Discharge No. 1 is 2-25 francs a day for a sergeant, 2 francs for a corporal, and 1-70 for a private, say respectively. Is. lOd., Is. Sd., and Is. 5d. I would ask your special attention, in this connection, to the fact that in France th©^ pension of the man Discharged No. 1, once given, is given for his lifetime, and is not subject to withdrawal or modifi- cation for any reason whatever. A Difficulty op Voluntary Re-education. At this point I must digress for a moment to speak of a great difficulty in the way of re-education, which is causing much anxiety in France, as it will probably do in England. The difficulty is this. The Service of Health, which is part of the Ministry of War, deals of course only with soldiers. A man needing an artificial limb is sent to a Centre of Surgical Equipment, which is always attached to a military hospital, and while receiving hospital treatment he may follow a course of re-education to fit him to return to his old trade, or to take up a new one. This, however, is entirely voluntary; the best men gladly avail themselves of the opportunity, but a large number do not. These men, who often spend months in hospital, have the greater part of their day free; they are given leave, and spend their time sitting about the grounds, or walking the streets, with results frequently disastrous to themselves. Even the men who elect to receive training while undergoing hospital treatment, mostly leave the school when they are discharged from the hospital. War Documents . 917 Two other reasons tend to lead discharged men from seeking trade-training. One is that of the man who says, " The State has crippled me; now let it keep me." The other is the belief that if a man is seen to be earning a good living his pension will be reduced or withdrawn. As I have said, this is absolutely untrue, but many still believe it. The inability of the State to control a man after he is discharged from the army constitutes a very difficult problem, which will have to be faced in both countries. After a long period of the hardships of war, with his grievous disablement at the end, a man not unnaturally desires above all to get back to his freedom and his friends. At first, the object of great sympathy, he receives well-meant but often unwise kindness and charity, but he is clearly in danger of acquiring habits of idleness and intemperance which can never afterwards be extirpated. The result will thus be that after the war France, as doubtless other belligerent countries also, will have among her population a large number of partially disabled men without any industrial training whatever to fit them to earn a Uving. To avoid as far as possible this moral and economic misfortune, every effort is being made. Each man on his discharge is presented with a booklet informing him of the schools in every part of France to which he can go for training, urging him to take advantage of one of these, and showing him photographs of mutilated men at work in different trades. The Ministry of War issues one booklet, the Ministry of the Interior another. Both are attached to this Report. (See Appendices I and II.) Illustrated lectures to the same effect are deUvered, posters are exhibited, other kinds of propaganda work are undertaken, and Prefects and Mayors are instructed to do all in their power to induce men to return for re-education. All the authorities I have consulted earnestly wish that pro- fessional re-education could be made obUgatory, but almost all are agreed that this is vpiy difficult, if not impossible, in France. The successive Stages of the French System. It may now be convenient to summarise the French method of treating sick and wounded soldiers in its successive stages, forming, at least in its conception, a complete administrative system. The worker in civil fife passes, on mobilisation, into the army and those with whom this report deals become casualities. Casualities may be divided into six classes, as follows, dealt with as here specified : — 1. Dead. — ^A pension is granted to the widow, or if no wife, to the children. 2. Totally Disabled. — A pension is granted, if they can live with friends. Otherwise they are supported in State institutions, and it is suggested for this pmpose to restore the great Hotel des InvaUdes, in Paris, to its original object. 918 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. 3. Blind. — ^These are trained in separate institutions. 4. Sick. — ^These, if they recover, return to the army, or, if unfit for service, receive, if the unfitness is recognised as arising from their service, Discharge No. 1, with permanent pension, or otherwise, Discharge No. 2 with provisional allowance. 5. Functionally Injured. — These are treated in a Centre of Physiotherapy, whence in due course they (a) return to the army for active or base duties^ (&) pass into Class 2, or (c) receive Discharge No. 1 from the army with fixed permanent pension, and enter, at their own wish, a School of Re-education. 6. Amputated. — ^These enter a Centre of Siu-gical Equipment, where they are fitted with an artificial limb, receive Discharge No. 1 with permanent pension, and enter, at their own wish, a School of Re-education. The men in Classes 5 and 6 who have passed through a School of Re-education are provided with work by an Employment Bureau, and thus return to the civil industrial life they quitted on mobilisation. I have endeavoured to exhibit this system in diagrammatic form in the following sketch : — ----- --->.» » nuKn.jgui.n i« «.;iv 111 IjI PJ£, ARMIES IN THE FIELD CASUALTIES ;^ * s^ :k nd. w Totally disabled 1 D ad .Amputated V Functionany injuret) Disc No r large .2 > •Spe trail Instit > Disc .No / nial ling itions liarge . 1 Fenaion or if uocessary support in State Institutions. < Centre of , Surgical Equipment \r Discharge No. t 1 Centre of Physiotberapy Discharge No. 1 Allowance temporary and jrariable Pen perm f sion aneut \ Pen tow or orj sion dow'. >ban9 > Pen perm sion ancot V Pension variable, temporary or pennanent Si hool of Re-education 1 Emplpyme nt Bureau f War Documents . 919 Centees of Subgical Eqitipmbnt. I pass now to a brief account of the work done at each stage of the French treatment, and in the first place to the work of surgical equip- ment of men who have lost a limb. The official statement is as follows: "The State has imposed " upon itself the task of providing mutilated soldiers with strong and " elegant apphances, most appropriate to their mutilation and to " their future life." There is, in principle, a Centre of Surgical Equipment (" Centre d'Appareillage ") for each important part of France, to which the soliier belonging to that part of France should go. This is not yet realized in fact. The most careful and detailed procedure has been laid down, into which I need not enter. In general, after a clinical examination of the man, his stump is to be photographed, radio- graphed, and a plaster cast made of it. In the case of a man not amputated but requiring an appUance, an electro-diagnosis is also made to estabUsh the functional vaMdity of the injured Umb. For leg amputations a man receives as a temporary apphance either a peg-leg or an orthopaedic boot, and ultimately a complete artificial limb. On discharge he keeps both these. The latter may be either an articulated leg or an articulated peg-leg with spare leather calf and foot. Double amputations of the thigh receive two peg- legs, as they cannot make use of any other type. For arm-amputations the appUance suppUed depends upon the length of the stimip. In general, a " working arm," with ring, hook or " universal pincers," is given, and a " dress arm " or " dress hand " added. The State procures these apphances either by direct manufacture, or more largely from manufacturing firms. An extremely elaborate " Cahier des Charges," that is, a specification, with prices attached, has been drawn up, prescribing in minute detail the construction of every type of appliance, and accompanied by a large number of working drawings. These specifications were drawn up by the Orthopaedic Comcmission (of the Ministry of War), and this Com- mission meets regularly to receive the apphances and to put on each part of them an official stamp of acceptance or rejection. I append specimen blue-prints (Appendix III — not -printed) and photographs, and I can forward the complete " Cahier des Charges " if desired. Manufacturers are requisitioned to furnish a certain nxmaber of apphances, and after this number has been supplied they may execute private orders. Every manufacturer must be a Frenchman and estabhshed in France. The State assumes permanent responsibihty for the upkeep, repair or replacement of all appliances it has furnished. For appli- ances ftirnished by private organizations or produced by the ampu- tated themselves, the State t£S:es no responsibility. But a man may be reimbursed the cost of an approved apphance he himself purchased before October 1st, 1916. 15950—25* 920 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. No amputated man can receive his discharge from the Army imtil he has been treated and definitely equipped with a suitable appliance. Conflicting French Opinions upon Artificial Limbs. At this point I would invite your attention to the conflicts of opinion among the many eminent or experienced French authorities, and disabled men themselves, whom I had occasion to consult, upon the value of artificial appliances in general. In the first place, it has become clear to me — though this opinion receives no official statement — that a sharp line of distinction must be drawn between arm-amputations and leg-amputations. The difference is vast and vital. A man who has lost a leg is just as able to perform any work he can do seated, and can be taught any such trades just as , easily, as before he was injured. His invalidity is personal. It is a grave and deplorable handicap in his private life, but it leaves him for all seated jobs, practically as efficient industrially as before. On the other hand, a man who has lost an arm has lost much, probably as much as four-fifths in many cases, of his industrial efficiency. The number of jobs he can do is strictly limited, and in most of these he can only be partially efficient as compared with a sound man. For these reasons, which I regard as indisputable, it does not appear reasonable or just that the State should grant similar pensions in the two cases. Upon the general question of the utility of artificial appliances, 1 have been greatly surprised to find how much scepticism, and indeed hostile opinion, prevails. Directors of institutions, almost without exception, but differing in positiveness of assurance, told me that many men will not use elaborate appUances. In leg-amputations, " the first time a man puts " on his artificial leg is a great disillusionment for him." " The leg is " hot, heavy, awkward, fatiguing." " Men will use a peg-leg but " nothing else." " My own difficulty is to get men even to use a peg- " leg, since they get about so fast on their crutches, though I warn " them that the prolonged use of these will inevitably result in nervous " disorders or even paralysis." I may mention that I know a lady in Paris able to purchase any type of artificial leg, but who uses only a peg-leg and walks with it a dozen miles daily for exercise. " Any leg that flexes at the knee will, notwithstanding all that the makers say, " sooner or later give the man a bad fall." " Then why give the men " these useless limbs ? " I ask. " The law says every man is to have them," was the reply. On the subject of artfficial arms, the opinions expressed to me were even stronger. " No complicated arm, however ingenious, is of any good at all. An artificial arm that will enable a man just to hold " something down on a table is all right. Beyond that, a man will be " interested in it for a short time, then he will throw it aside for good. " As for the ' dress arm,' not more than one man in a hundred will put " it on to go out with." War Documents . 921 One medical officer, with both techmcal knowledge and much experience, spoke to me frankly on the subject, but confidentially, as he naturally did not wish to criticise the views of many of his medical colleagues. " It is," he declared, "wrong to place confidence in "delicate, compUcated, costly apparatus, difficult to repair, A " man's physical aptitude is the only sure basis of his future work. " If a man has a job which depends upon a complicated apparatus, " once the apparatus is broken or out of order, the job vanishes. " Such things may be repairable in Paris, but how can a man work- " ing in a small provincial town get a complicated arm repaired ? " For the first year or two these things might serve, but after that, " what ? Choose artfficial limbs simple, cheap, easy to repair — all " others are a waste of effort and money." On the other hand, there is the official view of the highly-com- petent Orthopaedic Commission, with its elaborately-studied specifi- cations. Between these conflicting authorities I am not competent to ejcpress an opinion, though I may say that in the many training schools I have visited, only a small proportion of the men under training has lost an arm. I content myself with placing this situation before you, and Asking you to consider, in this connection, the other side of the argument as presented in my account of the work of Professor Amar, later in this report. Centres op Physiotherapy. The French, as already said, include among the " mutilated," men suffering from impaired muscular or articular fimctions. Such injuries they call " functional wounds," as distinct from amputations. Men thus disabled are sent to a Centre of Physiotherapy, where all the different curative methods included under that general title are practised. These may be shown as follows: — Mechanotherapy. Treatment by mechanical apphances. — Largely Zander System. Thermotherapy. Treatment by heat, electric Kght baths, blue fight baths. Hydrotherapy. Treatment by water, whirlpool baths, etc. KiNESITHERAPY. Treatment by movement, re-education in walking, gymnastics, massage. Electrotherapy. Treatment by electricity. Faradic, galvanic and high frequency currents, and ionic medication. Raditjmtherapy. Treatment by radium emanations. 15950— 25§* Physiotherapy. 922 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. The chief Centre of Physiotherapy in France is situated at the Grand Palais, Paris, of which Dr. Jean Camus, an eminent physician and specialist, is Chief Medical Officer. There is here an extensive and elaborate equipment of apparatus required for all the above forms of treatment. I need not describe i't, as the mechanical part consists with few exceptions of Zander appliances. The apparatus for other methods of treatment is also well-known, except perhaps the so-called "whirlpool bath," which is circulating warm water, giving a superficial massage, of use in prepar- ing a sensitive Umb for manual massage. The fine equipment of this Centre derives its chief value from the skill and experience of the expert physicians who direct it. The system of electro-diagnosis enables a pecuUarly accurate record to be made of each man's muscular and nervous condition. In mechan- otherapy, experience has shown that the so-called " active " treat- ment, in which the movements are given to a patient by motor machinery, is rarely of use and sometimes dangerous, and that the best results are secured from the " passive " treatment, in which the patient himself moves the mechanism. No one method of physio- therapy is reUed upon; it is the combination of several, based upon prolonged and specialist experience, that produces good results. Dr. Camus made the interesting remark to me, when this subject was being discussed, " Ii I were obUged to suppress all these methods of " treatment except one, I should retain massage." One other part of the installation at the Grand Palais I may mention, namely, the apparatus for determining by the graphic and other methods the degree of a man's physicial efficiency. This is a field of soientffic and social research, the development of which should rendCT important services after the war. A fully-equipped Zander Institute, situated in the Rue d'Artois and under the charge of Dr. Quiserne, which has been taken over for the war by the Society of Insmrers and placed at the disposal of the Government, is vised for the treatment of officers. There are also smaller but fully-equipped Centres of Physiotherapy in the Rue Paul Louis Courier in Paris, at Enghien, and at Juvisy, near Paris, the latter in connection with the Agricultural School of Re-education there. A complete outfit for physiotherapy, for the treatment of about 500 men per day, costs 500Z. when supplied by the firm of Borderel in Paris. In London higher prices appear to be asked for identical apparatus. Dr. R. Fortescue Fox, of London, recently studied the equipment of the Grand Palais and the Zander Institute, and placed an order for an equipment, for the Red Cross Physical Clinic established by a committee of physicians in Great Portland Street, London. When I visited the Grand Palais last January there were 3,000 patients under treatment. To-day there are about i,200. This diminution is due to the fact that it has been found undesirable to concentrate so many of these patients in Paris. It should be clearly realized that the main object of this institution is to restore functionally disabled men to the fighting ranks. "When this is impossible, the object is so to improve their condition as to War Documents . 923 reduce the amount of pension that will be payable to them by the State on account of their incapacity for work. That is, the objects are first military, and second, economic. Striking figures have been furnished me showing these results accomplished. During the month of December, 1915, 411 patients were cured and restored to the ranks, their average incapacity on entering having been 28.11 per cent, and on leaving 0.96 per cent. To base and auxiUary duties 56 were sent, and 22 were recommended for discharge. The capital sum represented by the difference between the pensions which would have been payable by the State to these men if they had not been treated, and the pensions payable to them after treatment— that is, the financial gain to the State, is stated at 2,898,080 francs, say 116,000Z. from one month's work. During the four months ending December 31st, 1915, 1,780 " functionally wounded " men, whose morbid condition had existed for an average period of six months before their treatment, were returned to the military depots, 290 to base duties, and 92 recom- mended for discharge, at a gain to the State on their pensions and allowances represented by a capital sum of 10,000,000 francs, say 400,000/. It may be added that the time taken for a man's cure must depend very largely upon his own desire to get well. Schools of Re-edtjcation. From the Centres of Surgical Equipment and the Centres of Physiotherapy, men discharged from the army, or to be discharged, converge, as has been indicated, upon Schools of Re-education. I proceed to give a brief account of the constitution and work of some typical schools. The Institute of Saint Maurice. The " Institut National Professionel des Invalides de la Guerre," at Saint-Maurice (Seine), on the outskirts of Paris, was before the war, under the Ministry of the Interior, divided into parts: (1) a con- valescent home for those discharged from the Paris hospitals; and (2) a home for those permanently disabled by accidents in Paris. The former has become a military hospital, with a Centre of Surgical Equipment, and the latter, since May 1st, 1915, a School of Re- education for the disabled of the war. The school, which remains for the present under the Ministry of the Interior, and is under the directorship of Dr. Bourrillon, is housed in a large building situated pleasantly among trees which must originally have formed part of the Bois de Vincennes. This contains only the various workshops and class-rooms, the messroom and dormitories being in separate buildings. This school is attended by the men who are undergoing treatment in the adjoining hospital, but it is also freely opened, so far as its accommodation permits, to all discharged soldiers and sailors recognized as incapable of returning directly to their previous employ- ment. They may come as boarders or as day-scholars, the latter being those whose famiUes five in the neighbourhood. 924 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. During this time, those who are in receipt of a provisional pension of 1 . 70 f cs. per day pay 1 . 20 f cs. of this to the school, keeping the remaining 5d. as pocket money. When they receive their final miUtary discharge and pension, they are admitted gratuitously. Boarders are provided with board, lodging, washing, lighting, and heating. Day-scholars receive 5d. a day, and keep their pension as well. Half of all pensions is retained, to be given in a single sum when the student leaves. The hours of work are eight per day. When men produce goods which are sold, they receive the balance, less 10 per cent, left after deducting the cost of raw materials. Prizes are given for special diligence, and these often take the form of an outfit of tools for the trade which has been learned. The disabled man chooses what trade he will be taught, and may change to another if he thinks he could do better at it. Any man is free to leave at any moment, only moral pressure berug applied to induce him to stay until he is really equipped to earn a living. The punishments for idleness or intemperance are deprivation of leave, of pocket-money, and — ^what is especially felt — of wine at meals. Incorrigible laziness or intemperance is punished by expulsion. Diligent work is required; " the Institute is a place of " instruction, and not a refuge for the idle." The occupations taught are those of commercial clerk, tailor, bootmaker, leatherworker, tinsmith, architectural and mechanical draughtsman, land-surveyor, and mechanic to drive or repair agii- cultural motor-tractors, etc. Every effort is made to persuade a man to be trained to resume his former trade, or one resembling it, where his special knowledge would be of value, but the Director will not have men trained as chauffeurs. He holds that far too many men are seeking this employ- ment, and that the employment of men with disabled limbs for this job will inevitably result in serious accidents. " A chauffeur," he said to me, " cannot be ready at any moment to meet a sudden " difficulty or danger, unless he is physically a sound man." But to drive an agricultural tractor round a field is obviously a very different job from driving a fast and powerful vehicle in town traffic, and special efforts are made to induce men to learn agricultural motor- mechanics. The average times taken to train men to earn their living at different trades are stated by the Director of this school to be as follows, based upon 16 months' experience with about 700 men: — Clerk 3 months. Draughtsman.. . . 10-12 months. Leatherworker. . . 8 months. Shoemaker 6 8 Mechanic 6 Tailor 8 Tinsmith 4 " 8 for repair work. for repair work and new work. for a town workshop, to work on his own account in the country. War Documents. 925 In separate temporary buildings in the grounds a number of expert mechanics, released from the army for the pxirpose, were making artificial limbs and other surgical appliances. Plaster of Paris casts were made of the stumps of limbs, or other injured parts of the body to be fitted, and of one whole leg when another leg was to be made to match it. This was admirably done, and of course obviated the necessity of repeated and tiresome fitting and trying on. The artificial limbs made here were of steel, leather and felt, of beautiful workmanship, but they appeared to me rather elaborate, expensive and heavy. The men in the workshops were certainly doing excellent work. Large quantities of army saddlery were being made, and excellent " Sam Browne " belts — all of a good army type. The pig-skin and morocco leather work was more than good — it was up to Bond Street standard. The draughtsmanship and mechanical drawing was in many cases first-rate. And I may say here that an appliance famiUar in many drawing-oflSces, the " TJnico," made by the Universal Drafting Machine Co., of Cleveland, U.S.A., has been found a valuable help to a one-armed draughtsman. The tinsmith's work was not to be distinguished from that ordinarily sold. An order for a thousand small tin bottles for sewing- machine oil had just come in. But one could not fail to be struck by the fact that most of the men had two serviceable arms. Only in the drawing-office did I see a one-armed man. A few had arms crippled more or less severely, but hardly any so that they had not serviceable hands. A very large proportion of men, on the other hand, had lost a leg. But as a man with but one leg is incomparably easier to re-educate physically than a man with one arm, this visit to Saint-Maurice, though interesting in many respects, did not thraw much light upon the most difficult side of the problem of re-education of the soldier. At this Institution, as everywhere, the difficulty of the man who does not wish to be trained, came up for discussion. I asked the Director if many men chose to go home, untrained, to live largely on charity. " Many," was all his answer. " But," he added, " it is a " good sign that we receive here regularly men who were discharged " a long time ago, and who now reaUze the need of training." One provincial mayor had sent 12 men to Saint-Maurice on the day of my visit. On the previous day a man discharged from the army nearly two years ago had presented himself. All such comers are warmly welcomed and serve as warnings and examples to the men in residence. Attached to this Institution is a " Hotel-Annexe," situated at 4, Rue Rondelet, Paris, where the men in training in Paris are boarded and lodged. Some of these, as has been said above, are mechanics undergoing a final stage of practical training, and 100 men being trained in cabinet-making, book-binding, furriery, photographic work, etc. This has been made possible by the munificence of a well- known lady. The average number of men under training at one time, both at Saint-Maurice and in Paris, is between 250 and 300. The State gives a subsidy of 5 francs per man per day. That is, the total cost to the 926 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. State for the Institution and the Hotel-Annexe is from 1,250 to 1,500 francs per day, say, 18,000L a year; to which must be added the private subsidy above mentioned. This includes all expenses of whatever nature. The Re-education School at the Grand Palais. One of the most interesting, because most scientifically directed, re-education schools in France, is that established in a part of the Grand Palais, in the Champs-Elys6es, in Paris. It is supported by the " Union des Colonies Etrangeres en France en faveur des Victimes " de la Guerre," a benevolent society composed of the leading members of the foreign neutral communities in France, which collects its funds by means of committees in all the principal neutral cities of Europe and America. The president is Mr. J. B. Shoniger, president of the American Chamber of Conunerce in Paris. Mr. E. Stotesbury, of Philadelphia, is making by instalments the munificent donation of 80,000 dollars. The total income of the Union to date has been 716,013 francs, of which it has expended 193,317 francs. The Union is under the patronage of the President of the French Republic. The head of this school is Dr. Charles Valine, an army doctor and eminent specialist, who was himself wounded at the front. He is the author of an instructive work upon " The Measurement of Physical Inefficiency by the Ergographic Method." The men in training in the school are, with few exceptions, those undergoing treatment in the Centre of Physiotherapy in the other part of the Grand Palais. They are not discharged men, but are still in the army, and therefore subject to discipline. Some of them are taken back for the auxiliary army services, but most are finally dis- charged when their medical treatment and school training are com- pleted. Almost all trades and employments are taught: book-keeping, draughtsmanship, type-writing, shorthand, Enghsh, harness-making, shoe-making, hairdressing, carpentry, cabinet-making, tinsmiths' work, mechanics, tailoring, soap-making, etc. Each workshop is under the charge of a "foreman " or " professor," who was at first himseK a maimed man, but now, since the military authorities took too many of these best men back into the auxiUary services, is a civiUan expert paid a regular salary. The men work (including their medical treatment) seven hours a day, and they are paid a penny an hour, rising ta 2d. as they advance in skill. They do work for the army or the pubUc, or the product of their labour is sold commercially. The soap-making was novel and interesting. The raw material, coconut oil, salicylate of soda, etc., is received in tubs, is mixed, boiled, moulded and stamped into cakes. During one month over 60Z. worth of cakes of soap was sold, and the demand is greater than the supply. (This is doubtless due partly to the excellent quality, but perhaps chiefly to the war shortage of commercial supplies.) An obvious question was whether this would afford a Uving for the men after the war — ^whether they would not be crushed out by com- petition of the great soap-making firms. Dr. Valine declared that it War Documents . 927 would be a valuable and remunerative local industry, which could be carried on by one or two shops in provincial towns, who would secure regular local custom because of the knowledge that the soap pro- duced was of absolutely honest quaUty. Very little capital is required for it, and small profits would be sufficient to make it well worth while as a subsidiary family industry. The men engaged in it were crippled in arms or legs. Three or four months' training is sufficient. The hairdressing shop was a great success. Men who have been discharged from the army, after two months' training, were earning as much as 15 francs in a day at the week-end. One man's father said his son had learned the job better here in the two months than he himself in two years' apprenticeship. A young soldier was shaving expertly after a fortnight's training. Wig-making is a part of the instruction. This shop is very popular, and a number of the men had expressed their intention of settUng in England after the war. A few of them had partially disabled hands, but most had stiff legs, or were wearing peg-legs. Of the harness-makers, several had been agriculturists, one a hospital attendant, and one a miller before the war. Photographic retouching had a nimiber of students, the most successful having been a butcher. A man who had been through the tailoring shop was also taking this course, which includes instruction in drawing, in order that he might be able to draw designs for ladies' dresses. The book-keeping and clerking was most carefully and technically taught, and here many of the men were one-armed, or had lost the use of one hand. The progress made was remarkable, and among those I saw were men whose job had previously been locksmith, carpenter, plumber, horticulturist, and waiter. The shops are large, airy, and well-lighted, and the whole atmo- sphere is that of keen work and cheerfulness, due alike to the care with which each case has been studied, and the interest taken by the instructors in their pupils' work. Dr. Valine states his fundamental aim to be to give the maimed man a genuine professional value, enabling him to resume his place in social hfe and to gain honourably his UveUhood. To this end, the first question he puts to himself with regard to each man is, can he be fitted to return to his previous emplojrment ? If so, every effort is made to enable him to do so, and he is re-educated in the appropriate workshop. If this is impossible — as when, for instance, a man who has been a carpenter can no longer climb a ladder, then he is trained in the job most nearly resembUng his old one, to make use of as much as possible of his previous professional knowledge. Thus a disabled carpenter should become some kind of wood-worker, or a disabled plumber a tinsmith. The choice of a trade should depend upon a man's previous knowledge, combined with his actual physical aptitude. In reply to the question whether it was reaUy the case that men did not use the "dress arm " or " dress leg " provided for them. Dr. Valine said this was undoubtedly often the case. There are several reasons for this. First, the elaborate artificial limb is heavy and tiring. Second, a man does not actually need the arm, and he walks 928 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. much better with a peg-leg. Thu-d, the reason illustrated in the following story. A young man who had been a commercial traveller in wine had lost an entire arm and been fitted with a fine artificial "dress arm." He called at the school recently. " Where is your arm?" asked Dr. Valine. "Oh, I don't often wear it." "But if you don't, everybody sees at once that you are a mutilated man." " It is all the better forme that they should see I have been mutilated in the war." Not only is this advantage often present in the man's business, but in the streets, tramcars, or trains, a man receives greater consideration when it is evident that he has suffered the loss of a hmb in his country's service. The Re-Education School at the " Maison Blanche." A second school established and supported by. the admirable efforts of the "Union des Colonies Etrangeres " is attached to the great military hospital, formerly a large civil convalescent home and hospital, known as the " Maison Blanche," at Neuilly-sur-Marne, about eight miles from Paris. This was taken over on July 15th, 1916, and opened on July 24th, and is under the charge of Dr. Kresser, an army surgeon who has seen much active service and been wounded. At this hospital only men who have suffered amputation are received. While undergoing treatment and, therefore, not yet dis- charged from the army, they may, if they choose, receive instruction in the re-education school. The average number in hospital is about 700, and of these about 270 avail themselves of the privilege. The others — two-thirds of the whole number— lead a life of idleness or worse, being allowed out of hospital every day after 11 a.m. to do as they like. " You cannot," it is said, " compel. a man against his will " to learn a trade." And those in the school can, of course, leave it at any moment, although the obvious seriousness and keenness of the men there did not suggest that many who had been wise enough to enter would be so foolish as to leave. But, unlike the Institute of Saint- Maurice, their training comes necessarily to an end when their hospital treatment is finished. The average length of stay is from two to three months. The hours of work are 6J^ per day. Each soldier receives his army pay of 2^d. a day, and the school adds one franc, a day. Any man who allows the whole or part of this daily franc to remain on deposit till he leaves, receives in addition a present of 25 per cent of the sum deposited. As soon as this sum amounts to 19 francs, it is, at the man's request, invested in a 20 franc bond of the French loan, bearing interest of one franc a year. A man with a dependent family is helped financially by the Union, so that he may not be worse off at the end of his term than his comrades who had nobody dependent upon them. About half the students thus leave their earnings on deposit. The installation of the school cost 39,000 francs, and the equip- ment 15,000 francs. This year's budget, for an average of 300 students, and including the cost of an agricultural annex, under con- struction, and 60 acres of land, allows for a total expenditure of 300,000 francs, say, 12,000/1. War Documents . 929 A fortnight ago an Employment Bureau was established, under two wounded officers, which corresponds with employers of labour in the districts to which the men belong. Already places have been found for 20 men, for one of them, with an amputated arm, as night- watchman at a factory at wages of 225 francs a month. During the three months not one man has been guilty of intemp- erance or given trouble in any way whatever. Men were receiving elementary instruction (it has been a surprise to me to learn how many ilhtera,tes there are in France) and learning all the usual trades. Several officers with crippled or amputated arms were in the book-keepiug class. The basket-worker^, all with one or two amputated legs, were doing specially good work, and this, it was said, would enable them to earn a good living in fruit-growing or wine-producing districts. The leather workers, as they cannot hold the usual wooden vice tight between their knees, were provided with a prolonged vice, on one side of which was a support in which the stmnp lies. The shoemakers had a sort of a right-angled wooden leg-rest, one end of which rested on the floor while they sat upon the other end. Thus the stump-leg was comfortably supported horizontally in the usual shoemaker's position. Men with only one hand, and this often not a good one, were leamiug French polishing, and turning out quite good commercial work. This I saw nowhere else. Some who had been thus trained had secured jobs paying them 8 to 10 francs a day. Excellent decorative wood- carving was being done by men with amputated legs, one of them having been a vineyard la,bourer, another a stonemason. There is also a class for wood-turning, the best workman being a man whose arm was amputated below the elbow, but who finds no difficulty in holding down the chisel with his stump. Fitters' work, of really high class, was being done, the best by a man who had been an agricultural labourer. Dr. Kresser, as has been said, has purchased 50 acres of land, and within a couple of months hopes to have an agricultixral school, where he will have sheep and sheep dogs to train shepherds, and will teach all farmyard work, bee-keeping, the use of motor tractors, etc. His view is that it is necessary to have many different occupations to attract men of all tastes. Thus, besides French polishing, wood- turnirig, shepherds' work, all of which are original to him, he proposes to teach autogenous oxy-acetylene welding, as soon as he can convince the miUtary authorities that there is no danger in it. But he is strongly of opinion that professional re-education should be made obligatory. In support, he points to the two men out of three in the hospital who do not come to his school, in spite of all that is done to make it attractive, and to the inevitable effect of the months of aimless, unoccupied hospital life, during which the men smoke and drink and do httle else. He hopes that this war experience will result in the establishment of what France needs, and does not possess — a sufficient number of permanent technical training schools. The " Ecole Joffre " and the " Ecole de TourvieUe " at Lyons. The first School of Re-education in France was the "Ecole Joffre," opened in Lyons, under the authority of the Municipal Council 930 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. on December 16th, 1914, and this is to-day in many respects the most interesting and important. The creation of this pioneer school, its methods, and its continued and increasing success have been due to the foresight and the great energy and organizing ability of M. Edouard Herriot, Senateur du Rhone and Mayor of Lyons, to whom the many other war institutions which have given Lyons the place of honour among French cities are also chiefly due. M. Herriot approached the subject upon original lines. He swept aside, with much frankness of speech and independence of action, the elaboration and prolonged preliminary consideration of French traditional oflScial procedure and the red tape conomon to the bureaucracies of all nations. He formed a small committee, with whom he studied the whole question of the future of the disabled soldier, reached decisions upon the many problems this presented, and carried these out practically with the greatest promptitude and energy. The result is that the re-education schools of Lyons have been a striking success, and that they differ in important respects from the others which have subsequently been founded in many parts of France. The city of Lyons provided the first building, an historic house formerly the seat of a reUgious order, at 41, Rue Rachais, and the General Council of the Department of the Rhone voted a sum of 1,200L, on condition that special facilities were provided for the disabled of the department. Large sums have been received from fetes, concerts and theatrical performances, and from private gifts. M. Justin Godart, Under-Secretary of State for War for the Service of Health, has from the beginning given the utmost oflBcial support to the schools, which are under the Ministry of War. Indeed, the official title of the Lyons Schools is " Auxiliary Hospital No. 202 bis," and it receives the highest State subsidy of any such institution, namely, 3 . 50 francs per man per day, the actual cost being 5 francs. Thus, upon one of the most diflSicult questions Connected with re-education of the disabled, M. Herriot and his colleagues came to the conclusion that it is essential to successful training that disabled men should be under strict military discipline during the whole of their training. The military rules applicable to army hospitals have been modified in a few respects to meet the special conditions of these schools, but otherwise the inmates are under ordinary army discipline, and all action in regard to them is taken in the name and by the authority of the military officer commanding the Lyons district. This is undoubtedly one of the two chief reasons of the success of these schools. The other is the strictness with which admission to the schools is granted. The first condition of admission is that those only are admitted who are completely and definitely cured, that is, who are proposed for Discharge No. 1, and are, in French mihtary language, granted unhmited leave while awaiting their final pension. In the case of the amputated, a most careful surgical examination is made, to make sure that the wound is perfectly healed and that the stump will require no further treatment; in a word, that there is no risk of the pupil having to leave the school even temporarily for any medical or surgical cause. Intentionally, a large proportion of the War Documents . 931 disabled in these schools have been selected from among the am- putated. Those disabled, not amputated, are examined by two medical Boards, to assure the certainty (a) that the disabled man cannot by treatment be restored to the army, and (6) that he is otherwise in a fit state of health to bear the strain and do the work of the school. After this, the Medical Officer of the school closely questions the applicant, to make sure that he does not come withi» one of the three strictly excluded categories: syphilis, alcoholism, tuberculosis. Heart, kidneys, lungs, nervous system, urine (albumin- uria is a ground of exclusion) are carefully tested. And the physical examination is followed by an equally strict moral examination. Some apphcants are found to be looking only for a comfortable place, with good food and frequent leave; others simply want a State tobacco shop or any job as " functionary "; some apply because they have lost two fingers or have a shortened femur; some are merely feckless and would never repay, so to speak, careful professional training. All these are rejected. This normal examination has for its object the discovery of disabled men really anxious to learn and to work, keen to become good workmen and self-supporting citizens. Too much time and trouble, says Dr. Carle, the first Medical Officer of the school, cannot be given to this task, for upon it depends the futiu'e success of the training. The Lyons re-education schools thus begun their work with con- spicuous initial advantage, namely, that their inmates have been selected with the utmost care, indeed, with severity, as most likely to profit from the training provided. To this must be added a highly competent staff of " professors," chosen with equal soUcitude for their technical knowledge and for their quaUties of tact and sympathy, a very strict but kindly discipline, and a long period of training, in some classes for as much as fifteen months. The result is that the schools turn out men genuinely educated for the work they are to do, and findiag immediately in most cases well-paid jobs. " I have seen," says Dr. Carle, " real resurrections, transformations justifying belief in brilhant and unhoped-for futures." It might be thought that the severity of the conditions of admis- sion, the strictness of the disciphne, and the long duration of the train- ing would turn disabled men away from Lyons and cause them to seek easier surroundings elsewhere. This may be so, but it is a striking testimony to the wisdom of M. Herriot that the apphcants far out- number the places available. Book-keeping, for example, is taught with extreme thoroughness, and no more students can be admitted till September, 1917. The " Ecole Joffre " trains a hundred men in all, and in a few months this was over-full, and a second school was opened at Tourvielle, on the outskirts of Lyons. Here a pleasant rural estate of about 17 acres enables horticulture to be efficiently taught, and the workshops are in separate huts, with admirable conditions of space, light, etc. As this school profited by the experience gained in the Rue Rachais, and was built for its purpose, it represents a later and more scientific development than the original school. A few statistics of this Toiu^elle school may be instructive. In all 310 men have passed through or are still there; of these, 28 men 932 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. abandoned their training for various reasons, such as return to their old occupations, failure of health, family reasons, employment in munition works, etc., and notwithstanding the care taken in selecting applicants, no fewer than 22 have been expelled for intemperance or bad conduct; 76 have been placed in employment, of whom 35 were shoe-makers, 20 wireless telegraphists (all of whom secured State positions) and electricians, 10 horticulturists, and six cabinet-makers; of 185 undergoing training on December 1st, 1916, 46 are shoe-makers, 13 " galochiers " (makers of leather shoes with wooden soles, the equivalent of our Lancashire clogs), 27 tailors, 17 horticulturists, 12 cabinet-makers, 32 wireless telegraphists, 26 makers of artificial Umbs, and 12 furriers. After what has been said it is unnecessary to describe the work- shops in detail. Basket-making, clock-making, photography, harness- making and polishing precious stones are not taught. Book-keeping is the speciality of the schools, and the making of artificial Umbs, furriery, and wireless telegraphy are peculiar to them. One other occupation has been specially developed. In 1912 the German toy makers sent into France goods upon which they paid import duty of no less than 13,500,000 francs. From the beginning it was M. Herriot's ambition to wrest this trade from Germany, and to make Lyons the seat of the toy-making industry of France. There- fore a complete series of workshops have been arranged and a large number of men have been trained for this work, and have been retained in it as paid workmen after training. It will be of the greatest interest to observe hereafter whether this patriotic technical development results in a permanently estabUshed coromercial success. At present cheap and comparatively simple wooden toys are produced in large quantities and appear to find a ready sale. A more expensive and elaborate class of toys would be required for our own market. A few other points may be noted about these schools. All the men under training Uve in. This was regarded from the beginning as a necessary condition of discipline and therefore of success. As the men are still in a military hospital, they do not receive the 1 . 70 francs which they would otherwise receive form the State before the allocation of their permanent pension, but in its place the school authorities give them 1 . 25 francs a day as an act of grace, so long as the finances of the institution allow it. It has been found, as elsewhere, necessary to keep always before the men the official statement of the Ministry of War that " the learning of a trade cannot affect in any way whatever " the prerogatives and advantages of the pension to which they are " entitled." Any money earned by work is divided among all the men of a trade section as soon as they have reached the stage of pro- duction, each section having its separate cash account. Those who have been longest in the school, and are therefore most efficient, take two-thirds, and the others the remaining third. The desire of the latter class to secure admission to the former class provides a useful stimulus. Further, as the largest possible output is thus to the advantage of all, every man is natiu-ally a supervisor of the industry of the rest, which relieves the authorities of much supervision. A plain brown school uniform of tunic and trousers is worn by all the War Documents . 933 inmates. On completion of any course a man receives a diploma, issued under authority of the city of Lyons, signed by his " professor," the Director of the school, and by M. Herriot as Mayor. It is intended that this diploma shall always be a guarantee of genuine professional ability in the work specified on it. Upon the question of the employment of trained men, Dr. Carle has written as follows : " Our disabled men will not lack employment — " that is certain. It is only necessary to avoid for them alike excessive " wages, which are disgvused almsgiving, and too poor a remuneration. " The former is never permanent, and the latter is exploitation. Those " who direct the movement should be ahve to this double danger." With regard to the vexed question of the value of artificial limbs, the Lyons schools are fortunate in having an expert orthopaedist, Dr. Nove-Jusserand, upon their staff, and many of the improvements in prothesis adopted by the Orthppsedic Commission of the Ministry of War are said to be due to him. Among the men themselves, in both the Lyons schools, we found the same diversity of view as elsewhere. Some men used their ela;borate artificial arms and legs all the time, and were perfectly satisfied with them. Others regarded the arms as useless and preferred the old-fashioned peg-leg. All they desired was that this latter should be articulated, so that when they sit down it is out of the way of other people. Possibly the personal factor will always be decisive in this matter. Dr. Carle himself has written as follows: " When I make an unexpected visit to the workshop of the " bookbinders or the cardboard-box makers I am much annoyed to " find that they have delicately placed their artificial arms upon the " table, and are working busily with their sound arm and their stump " or elbow." The Director of the " Ecole Joffre " is M. Baseque, and of the school at Tourvielle, M. Hirschfeld. The latter school owes much to the devoted work and influence of a woman, Madame Madeleine Monod. To all three I have to express my thanks for a most kind reception. Agkicultukal Training in Feancb. Disabled Men and Agriculture. The problem of the maimed agriculturist is a peculiarly difl&cult one in France. The great numbers employed in munition works are all town-dwellers. The result is that of every 100 maimed soldiers 60 are agriculturists. (Of 30 men in one shoe-making shop, 15 were agriculturists ; of five maimed arriving on the day of my visit, three were from the land.) And a large proportion of these 60 desire to secure urban jobs. The grounds of their wish are chiefly two. First, with- out a hand or without a leg, they think they cannot dig, and they have not imagined work on the land which does not involve digging. Second,, the city attracts them by its opportunities of all kinds, good and bad, its companionship, and its cinemas. (These last are often given as a reason.) 934 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. It is of the utmost importance that as many as possible of these men should be induced to return to the land. The reason of this urgency springs from the cautious, even suspicious, foresight charac- teristic of the French peasant. He has clearly perceived that the trenches have been chiefly manned by agriculturists — that it is chiefly they who have suffered hardship, exile from home, wounds, mutilation and death, while the townsman has largely worked in safety at munition-making, receiving the while high wages. If there is another war in his lifetime, he wishes to be one of the latter. If not, he wishes his son to have this better part. As a result, there is Ukely to be a great and dangerous shortage of labour on the land in France after the war. Some re-education schools follow the line of least resistence, and train their men for urban j obs whenever they express the wish. Others will not do so if they can possibly avoid it. When a man says to the director, " I cannot go back to the land because I cannot dig," he replies, " It is true you cannot dig, but that is no reason why you should not go back to the land. You can learn other agricultural operations — poultry-keeping, bee-keeping, horticulture, cheese- making, butter-making, shepherding, market-gardening. There is a good living for you in these things." And in many cases he saves the man for the land. Special and most valuable efforts are being made to induce men to become proficient motor-mechanics for agricultural tractors and motor-implements, as these are expected to be largely and often co- operatively employed. The sale of American " Emerson " and " Mogul " agricultural motors is being energetically pushed in France, and the agents of these in Paris receive men from the schools for a period of additional training. They are glad, in the first place, to have the men's work, as the men have been carefully trained in motor repairs, and to pay well for it (often from 8 to 12 francs a day at present); and in the second place, thgy wisely reaUze that this knowledge of their own machines will be of commercial value to them as dealers, when the men return to country districts. The State School at Ondes. As a typical State school I may take that at Ondes (Hau- Garonne). This has 90 beds, the course of instruction lasts three months, and 300 men per year receive an agricultural training. A hospital and small equipment of physiotherapy are attached. The agricultural and allied subjects taught are farmwork, vineyard and nursery-gardening, horticulture, blacksmithing, carpentry and basket- work. Both written and oral examinations are held and a diploma is given. Of 66 disabled men, 39 presented themselves for examination, and 37 obtained the diploma. The examiners expressed their satis- faction, indeed their astonishment, at the scope and accuracy of the knowledge acquired. An Employment Biu-eau has been estabUshed, and not only have all the re-educated men who desired it been placed in situations, but there are many more places offered than men to fill them. But the Director's report to the Ministry of War contains the War Documents. 935 following strong passage to the same effect as opinions I have already quoted from other schools: " It appears to us indispensible that the " disabled man should be re-educated while he is still a soldier, that is, " while still subject to military discipline. Once become a civiUan, " the disabled man, almost in spite of himself, has but one wish : to " return home, even if he vegetates there." The Treatment and Training at Juvisy. At Juvisy, a small town on the Seine, about 20 miles from Paris, a military hospital was estabUshed under one of the societies belonging to the French Red Cross, in the building of the " Ecole Secondaire Saint-Charles," and when it was found undesirable for obvious reasons to have a large aggregation of disabled men in Paris, at the Grand Palais, this locaUty was chosen, in June, 1916, for the combined treatment and training of men for agricultural Ufe. At the time of our visit 320 men were on the books, of whom 100 were away on leave, but in a short time 600 will be there, and for their accommodation a number of brick huts, costing 580Z. apiece, have been built on land adjoining the hospital, each sleeping hut holding about 50 beds, and one being the mess room. They will be under the com- mand of four officers. The whole organization is under the Ministry of War. The object is to train men for agricultural Ufe at the same time that they are being medically treated for their disablement, the latter occupying at most one hour a day of each man's time. The organiz- ation therefore compromises two distinct parts — the Centre of Physiotherapy and the Agricultural Training School. 1. The Centre of Physiotherapy. — The whole of this is contained in a double row of cubicles placed down the midlde of the central hall of the hospital, with one room in the basement for medical baths. The apparatus is one of a admirably simple and inexpensive character, and consists entirely of machines, 12 in number, with pendulum movements, on the Begonin system, manufactm-ed by the firm of Borderel, of Paris. The complete outfit only costs 140Z., yet Dr. Camus, the medical head of the great Centre of Physiotherapy at the Grand Palais, who was good enough to accompany us to Juvisy, said that it comprised everything really necessary for mechanotherapy. An economy was effected by connecting the " whirlpool baths " in the basement with the existing plumbing arrangements for the school baths, but the actual sum spent for the complete equipment of the Centre, including several whirlpool baths, several heat-baths for arms and legs, couches for massage, and an apparatus for electro-diagnosis, was only 4S01. As thus showing how simple and cheap a complete installation for physiotherapy may be, based on French experience, a visit to this Centre at Juvisy is highly instructive. 2. The Agricultural Training School. — Much of the agricultural land near Paris on the south and east is in the hands of large owners, in contrast with the proprietorship of small holdings generally 15950—26* 936 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. characteristic of France. It is also very productive land. Near Juvisy is a farm of over 1,000 acres, of which the family of M. Petit have been tenants for seven generations. Of these, the Union of Foreign Colonies in France, which I have previously described, has taken 112 acres, with a portion of the large but old-fashioned farm buildings, on a three-years lease, pajdng about 800Z. a year rent (land hereabout sells for about 90Z. an acre). The leased buildings are to be divided off from the main block, separate entrances constructed, some of the old barns fronted to make cow-houses, stables, dairies, class-rooms (including an educational cinema), etc., piggeries, fowl-houses and runs, and kennels constructed, a large garage and motor-shop erected for the study of agricultural tractors, fruit trees planted and beehives installed. In a word, everything is to be provided for agricultural and rural industries, even to the training of keepers in the land and game laws, the rearing of game, dog-breaking, etc. The funds for this, which must be considerable, will be wholly provided by the Union of Foreign Colonies, which will, moreover, pay the men in training. The establishment is to be under the direction of Professor Boittel, head of the Institut Agronome, and M. Jacquet, " Chef de Cultxure " of the well-known horticultural firm of Vilmorin, will be manager. Though this school is primarily designed for men with all their limbs — of course in a more or less disabled condition — it is intended to add to these a certain trial number of men with artificial limbs. The two outstanding facts about the agricultural school of Juvisy are thus : first, that it is as yet only an ambitious scheme, and how ambitious may be judged from the hope expressed that its success may possibly justify the taking over later of the whole of M. Petit's thousand acres; and second, that it will be a free gift to France from foreign sjrmpathizers. It presents, therefore, at the present time, little scope for comment. One aspect of the plan, however, calls for remark. The land acquired is about a mile and a half from the Centre of Physio- therapy and the barracks and mess-rooms. Disabled men cannot well be expected to walk six miles a day in all weathers, in addition to a long day's work on the land. Yet the transport of some 600 men backwards and forwards twice a day will be a serious and costly operation, to say nothing of the separate transport of men at irregular hours for their medical treatment. Moreover, the care of farm stock requires the presence of some men at hours of the early morning and evening incompatible with regular meal-times at a distance. A primary essential for an agricultural training school for disabled men in our own country would appear to be that the men should be housed in the middle of their work and treatment, but this has evidently not been considered essential at Juvisy. Further, since one of the results aimed at, in England, at any rate, should be the co-operative manage- ment of small holdings, it would seem desirable for the school to be established in a district of small holdings, where the co-operative use of expensive motor cultivating and harvesting implements could be taught and exhibited in actual practice. War Documents . 937 To appreciate the results attained at Juvisy, to which such generous funds and so much expert thought are being devoted, it will be necessary to visit it again in a few months' time. It should be borne in mind, however, that the task envisaged at Juvisy is not so much to train previous urban dwellers for the land, as to prevent previous agriculturists from adopting urban life. Most of the men will be peasant-proprietors or the sons of peasant-proprietors. Such a man is apt to say, " Look at my leg or my arm. How can I possibly go back to work on the land ? " And he usually proposes to sell his holding and estabUsh himself in a town with his Uttle capital, which would probably soon be exhausted. This school is an effort to save such men for country life; first, by restoring to them as far as possible the use of their disabled limbs, and second, by teaching them the modem principles and practice of subsidiary rural industries by which they can earn a good livelihood on the land they already possess. More developed experiments on these lines are, as I have said, in existence, under State control, in other parts of rural France. The Training of French Blind Soldiees. I. The " Maison de Convalescence " at Reuilly. The chief opthalmic hospital of France is the ancient foundation, established in 1260 by St. Louis, known as the " Hospice National des Quinze-Vingts " (the words meaning " fifteen times twenty ") to house 300 bHnd poor. The training-school for the blind of the war is an annex of this, known as the "Maison de Convalescence" (to avoid the painful associations of the word " bUnd "), in the Rue de Reuilly, opened on March 29, 1915. It was created by the Ministry of the Interior, but is also partly dependent upon the Ministry of War, since it receives undischarged soldiers. It receives from the State 2.50 fcs. per man per day. This, however, is inadequate, and the difference is made up by an allowance from the bugdet of the hospital. A further important contribution, without which the benevolent activity of the school would be greatly diminished, is made by a charitable society known as " L'Oeuvre Les Amis des Soldats Aveugles, supported by contributions from French sympathizeres in many parts of the world. A gift of 100,000 francs, for instance, has been received from South America. This society presents an outfit of tools for his trade to every man leaving, and gives him a supply of raw material to start with, until his handicraft begins to bring in money. It also gives the man an outfit of clothing, called his "trousseau." It presents him with 500 francs on his marriage — 30 men have married from the school— and treats all his comrades to coffee and a cigar on his wedding-day. It also buys raw material in commercial quantities, and re-sells it at cost price to the men after they have set up business for themselves. It has, for example, just bought 12,000i. worth of fibre for household brushes. In a word, the society adds a humanizing factor to the bare essentials provided by the State. Doubtless the cheerfulness and briskness -of the bliiidmen throughout the school was a reflection of this wise and intelligent sympathy. 15950—261* 938 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. The school has 233 beds, and also receives a number of men who live in the neighbourhood. Altogether it has had about 500 men in training, and about 300 have left it with a handicraft by which they can make a living. The Director is Monsieiu: Emard. The buildings are old, and some of the workrooms dark and dingy, but no place we have visited in the course of this inquiry left a pleasanter impression of serious, intelUgent training, or happier informal relationships. The training seems long, but the object is to turn out a man with a real working capacity. The basket-makers take a year. Re- seating rush-bottomed chairs takes two or three months to learn; re- seating cane-bottomed chairs a year. It is not regarded as enough that men should be able to do this work; to earn a living at it they must be able to do it quickly. Shoemakers are -trained for repair work, as making new boots is considered more suitable for men with sight. I saw rows of boots which had been repaired, or soled or heeled, for the outside public. The fine fitting work in the mechanics' shop was astonishing. This is a job with which I am personally famiUar, and I can fully confirm the statement made to me by the " professor," who had been a fitter all his life and blinded in the war, that not 60 per cent of men with sight working as fitters could do some of the precision jobs his scholars had done. The brush-making workshop was turning out much work. Six to eight months' training is needed to make rough household and stable brushes, but one to two years to make fine brushes. This latter is not encouraged, though one man was doing it skilfully, the view being that a man will make a hving better by producing quickly the kind of brush that wears out quickly. There are also classes for tjrpewriting, piano-tuning, making upholstery fringes, and net-making, though the two last-named were regarded more as an occupation than a handicraft. A class of men was learning the harmonium, and another receiving instruction in plain-song — these two not having any connection with the earning of a living, but to give the men an agreeable and cultivated interest in Ufe. Two classes specially interested me. First, the cooperage, which I had heard unfavourably criticised. We found it, on the other hand, particularly good. This training takes on an average about 10 months, although the best workman of all, a Russian, a mason before the war, had made his first cask in two weeks. Over 160 large casks have been sold to wine-merchants from this workshop in less than a year, and certainly at every stage the work seemed first-rate. This workshop doubtless owes much of its success to the fact that the " professor " has been a blind cooper for many years. The other specially interesting class was that of massage. Here men are given daily instruction in anatomy, etc., and then very careful training and supervision by an expert masseur. The men take it in turn to massage and to be massaged, and about 30 were hard at work, and their massage was delicate and scientific, equal to that for which Swedish masseurs receive high fees in London. In 16 months 32 trained masseurs have been turned out, 3 having gone to Vichy, 2 War Documents . 939 to Evian, and others to hospitals. A good man is easily able to earn 10 francs a day. Pupils are taken on probation for a short time, and if they are found not to possess the requisite manual dehcacy, are taught some other job. An attractive part of the establishment was the fencing-school, for which a famous maitre d'armes, Monsieur Georges Dubois, gives his services. A bhnd man can find great pleasure in fencing, and in exceptional cases he is able to meet the fencer with sight on equal terms. This again, is, of course, only to give an interest in hfe to the men who have been deprived of so many. The Director is planning a number of new activities. He pro- poses to set up, at a cost of 200Z., a workshop to teach men to grind and pohsh cast glass bottle-stoppers. The Glass-Workers' Trade Union has promised to supply stoppers to be ground, in cases of 10,000, to men when trained, and the society above mentioned will equip each man with a wheel and a J^-h.p. motor. A man will thus be able to earn 7 to 8 francs a day. The polishing of Uthographic stones is also in view. Further, it is proposed to teach elementary wireless telegraphy, not for ordinary commercial work, since for this a man must be able to read written messages, but to enable men to go as wireless operators on steam fishing-vessels. It was found that the German vessels of this kind made much better catches than the French, as when one boat found the school of fish it called the others by wireless telegraphy. A man could — and I myself suggested this a year ago — easily manage the very simple apparatus necessary. He would have to be told what messages to send, but he could write down the messages received. In this connection, it may be added that the officials of this school have invented the best and simplest appUance I have yet seen for enabling a blind man to write. It is a board with shallow grooves where the fines of writing go, and with projecting brass points on the left of each line to enable a man to start the fine correctly. As soon as this had been explained, it was easy to turn one's head away and write legibly at almost ordinary speed. A printing office for books in Braille is under the charge of Corporal Guy Robert du Costal, after a period of service at the front. I do not know whether the system in use here, invented by M. Ernest Vaughan, is generally known. If not, it deserves the careful attention of all who care for the bUnd. To set type for Braille printing requires, as it is usually done, a knowledge of the Braille alphabet. Here several lady volunteers who did not know one Braille letter from another were busily setting type. The ingenious but very simple device is, that each type letter has Braille at one end and the ordinary letter at the other. So the setter has only to place the letters in the box containing the " forme," ordinary type upwards, but spelUng the words backwards and beginning from the right. Then when the box is full, a lid is put over this side, the box turned upside down and a lid taken off the other side, when the page is in Braille, in proper sequence. Four pages are printed at once imder a rubber cyhnder on a hand-press. A smaller press, called the " drawing-room press," can be bought for 40Z., and with this and a fount of double-ended type, 940 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. anybody can set up and print perfect Braille books at home. As an example of the thoughtfulness pervading this school, I may mention that the official communique is struck off in Braille twice a day, and circulated among the men. I asked one of the officials if the bhnd could really be expected to do good work, that is, good enough to be sold without the suggestion of a charitable appeal to the purchaser. "Too good," he repUed; " their tendency is to make their work too " punctiliously good." But obviously they must necessarily be at a great disadvantage, in comparison with the man who can see. This means merely that they cannot earn so much money. That is why the State gives them a pension. The pension is the fulfilment of the duty of the State to put the men who have been bUnded in its service on an equality, so far as possible, with men who have not made this sacrifice. II. The " Phare de France." French bUnd oflacers and men are also treated by an American benevolent institution known as " Le Phare (Lighthouse) de France," in the Rue Daru, Paris. This was founded and is directed by Miss Winifred Holt, an American lady who has devoted herself for many years to the care of the bhnd in the United States, where similar " lighthouses " have trained 8,000 cases. The funds are raised by an influential committee in America, and this Paris " lighthouse " was established in a large and pleasant house in the fashionable quarter of Paris. The esteem in which Miss Holt and her work are held is shown by a recent ofl&cial visit of the President of the RepubUc, and the fact that she is allowed to take for training any bhnd soldier she may find in a hospital. The " Phare de France " was opened in August 18, 1916, so that there has not yet been time for complete training.' Ofl&cers and men are alike admitted, 43 in residence and about 20 living outside. IntelUgence and industry, beside total bUndness, are the only qualifications for admission. The subjects taught range over a wide field, and include more of what may be called the hmnanities than is usually found in such institutions — artistic pottery-work, for example, which is stencilled by the bhnd, mathematics, music, foreign languages, weaving on elaborate looms, etc. The " Phare " leaves the impression of a happy house-party or a social centre rather than of an institution. The pupils clearly regard the place as a home, and bUnd officers and their friends came into tea almost as in a club, siu-e of a hearty welcome and a pleasant hour of conversation and music and laughter. This atmosphere is due, first, to Miss Holt's long experience with the blind, and, second, to her own sunny and energetic temperament, which diffuses cheerfulness and vivacity wherever she passes. This home for the bhnd has the advantage of long experience in America behind it, and therefore possesses a number of machines and appUances which have been developed there. For instance, a knitting machine, upon which a man can make a full-sized and perfect sweater in an hour (a knitting machine procured from England had been War Documents. 941 scrapped as useless for the blind) ; ingenious games of draughts and a new admirable kind of dominoes for the blind; Braille printing type- writers; and weaving looms, on which excellent carpets and rugs were being made. But these last appeared to me rather too complicated and elaborate to be really practical, though possibly an exceptional man, with occasional assistance from a seeing person, might make a living from one if the original cost of the loom were defrayed. One custom in vogue here which appeared excellent we had not seen elsewhere, namely, that every man, when moving about, carried a very light supple cane, which he continuously waved before him, and thus felt his way about as an insect with its " feelers." The canes are so light that they cannot injure any object or any other person, and men with them moved about the house, and up and down the stairs, almost as quickly as seeing people. By their use, too, men went at good speed round the roller-skating rink, avoiding with ease all obstacles. Usually, in walking about an institution for the blind, one has to keep carefully out of the way of more slowly moving bUnd persons. Here the bUnd soldier, touching you with his cane at arm's length, keeps out of your way almost as readily as you would keep out of his way. A Braille printing office and editorial room in course of formation, where books for the blind, of which the demand still greatly exceeds the supply, will be produced on a considerable scale. It is hoped to estabUsh similar " Ughthouses " in other parts of France. Miss Holt's admirable and devoted work seems to supply a need, hitherto unmet in France, whereby oflBicers and those bUnd who require it, may adapt themselves to an occupied but more or less leisured Ufe, rather than to the training of those who will have to return to a working-man's environment and earn their livelihood at a trade. Conclusions bearing upon the Problem, of the Blind Soldier in England. The training of the blind French soldier at the " Maison de Convalescence " suggests several considerations bearing upon our own treatment of this problem. First, the industrial training of the bUnd should be genuine professional training, not the well-meant efforts of untrained persons. A man should be taught by a professional, the work he does should be work having a definite industrial and conmiercial value, and his training should not be regarded as complete untU it has been a thorough apprenticeship, rendering him capable of doing industrial work with accuracy and at fair speed. In this connection it may be said that the best teacher will probably be found to be a man who was an expert at his job, and has himself become blind. It is admitted, of course, that a blind man must have distractions, but it should be kept in view that such occupations as the making of tr iflin g playthings, string-bags, mats, Uttle baskets, and such like, are but distractions, or temporary means of training the mind and the fingers, and implanting the seeds of hope and courage. Indeed, as 942 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. distractions, the playing of draughts or dominoes, or the use of a musical instrument, are probably better. No handicraft should be permanently taught, the product of which requires an appeal to charit- able sentiment for its disposal. Second, besides the teaching of what may be called the coarser kinds of work, advantage should be taken, in case of suitable men, of the qualities in which the blind man excels the seeing man, to train the former to do work on a higher intellectual level. The bUnd man's superiorities lie (1) in the exquisite development of the sense of touch; (2) his infinite patience; and (3) the pride he takes in the excellence of his workmanship. Clearly, therefore, precision work involving repetition is pecuharly suitable to the blind. In the fitter's shop at the " Maison de Convalescence " a man was at work fitting together the flanges of the hemispherical halves of steam-valves, having 50 or more of these to do. Not only was he doing it well — he was doing it perfectly. This was an ordinary commercial job sent in from out- side, and the firm that sent it could not possibly have accepted the work unless it were done at least as well as a fitter with sight would do it. Seeing a bUnd workman sharpening a tool suggested to me that knife-grinding, tool-sharpening and setting, ^and many kinds of poUshing, would be ideal jobs for a blind man. Indeed, " repetition," in the workshop sense of the word, will be found to he at the basis of a bUnd man's success. He is unduly handicapped in making a number of different parts and assembUng them, whereas he is specially capable of deahng with a large number of identical parts requiring careful finishing. Home-work, in the sense of making httle complete articles for sale, unless they require very few separate processes, like brush-making, or unless the work deals with objects brought in, like repairing shoes, will not afford a blind man the best outlet for his activity, but there is a kind of home-work for which he is pecuharly adapted, namely, the receiving from firms large quantities of objects which require finishing by hand. No benevolence could be more useful than that which would provide an efficient bhnd man with the equipment required to do this at home, often including a small electric or gas-motor to drive a polishing or grinding wheel. He would thus be able to Uve outside a town, and be saved the difficulty and loss of time involved in going to and from a workshop. Manufacturers in country districts should be approached to discover what work of this kind they could give out, but always on the basis of a fair commercial proposition, and not as an act of semi-charity. The teaching of scientific and skiKul massage should receive special attention as a very useful and remunerative occupation for the blind who have the requisite personal quahties, and an Association of Blind Masseurs, with the approval and support of the medical profession, should be formed. In conclusion, this French experience shows that many a bUnd soldier, if wisely and efficiently trained, may be restored to a higher degree of industrial efficiency, bringing with it greater earning power, than he possessed before his loss of sight. War Documents . 943 The Work in Peothesis of Professor Amar. No account of the treatment of disabled soldiers in France would be complete without a description of the methods of scientific prothesis practised, in Paris, by Professor Jules Amar, D.Sc, author of " Le Moteur Humain," etc., in his laboratory at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers. (I do not know whether the word " prothesis " is adopted in EngUsh. If not, there would be advantage in adopting it. The word " prothese," used in France, is taken directly from the Greek vpadevi.^, meaning " an addition." It signifies the provision of an artificial apparatus to perform, so far as possible, the work of an amputated limb, or to replace a lost function.) Professor Amar had for years studied, apart from his other pro- fessional duties, the problems of the physiology of the workman per- forming the work of his trade. In 1912 Mr. Taylor, the American, whose investigations and experiments in increasing scientifically the workman's output are now well known, came to France. It was then realized that Professor Amar had been working on the same fines for years, and therefore the Minister of Labour immediately gave him official recognition by creating at the Conservatory of Arts and Trades a Chair of the Physiology of Work, and appointing him to fill it. For two years he taught the principles and appfications of this to both students and employers of labour, and when the war broke out he adapted his methods and employed his laboratory in the service of the disabled and mutilated. Up to the present he informs me that he has restored to work about 1,300 men, I presume in connection with the military hospital at the Conservatory. Professor Amar, with whom was his Assistant Director, Dr. Bouras, was good enough to explain his methods and demonstrate his apparatus to me at great length, and while I cannot attempt here to present a complete account of these, which demand surgical knowledge of a high order for their full appreciation, or, indeed, to state which of them are new and original to himself, enough may perhaps be said to show the great importance of the subject, and the necessity for the adoption of a similar system in England. The Amar system of prothesis comprises in every case three stages: — 1. The investigation of physicial fatigue and mental aptitude. That is, a scientific determination of exactly what is physically left to the man as the result of his wound and amputation, and what his mental coefficient is. 2. Education of the amputated man's stump in sensi- tiveness. 3. Education of the complete Hmb, consisting now of both stump and artificial fimb. It is only when the man has passed through these three stages that his " professional re-education " — that is. Ins training to perform his actual industrial job — takes place. 944 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. For these three stages Professor Amar has designed or adapted a large number of apphances of the greatest ingenuity and accuracy. In almost all of them a permanent record is made by a point, actuated by pneumatic connection with the limb or function (heart, breathing, physical response to mental stimulus, etc.) of the man under investi- gation. TMs is accomplished by causing a small air-piston to actuate a light finger under which a lamp-blacked cylinder revolves, while another finger moved by clockwork marks a parallel line at an exact speed, marking, for instance, fifths or hundredths of a second. This mechanical graphic method is, of course, well known, but Professor Amar has invented a number of new appliances in which it is used. Without going into too great detail, I may mention a few of these. A fixed bicycle, called an " ergometric (force-measuring) bicycle," allows the most precise determination, with a record of the change from day to day, of (a) the man's strength; (fe) the fatigue produced by a given amount of work; (c) by measuring the time taken by a man to secure coincidence between a tick produced at each revolution of the wheel and the beat of a metronome, a man's mental coefficient. So accurate are these determinations that the line showing " fatigue " responds almost instantly to the stimulus of a drop of coffee, and enables a man on the bicycle, of whom nothing was previously known, to be told, " You are a fitter or a mechanic," or "You are an agri- cultural labourer." The man hinaself, on being shown his record day by day, appreciates his own improvement, and becomes keenly interested in his progress. Another machine consists of a warmed metal plate, through which a small ivory point projects a fixed distance. At first a man passing his stump over this plate cannot detect the point projecting a centi- metre ; at last he can feel the point projecting only half a milfimetre. The man's stump is further educated by being strapped in a support and caused to move backwards and forwards, registering the amount of the movement each day. Again, weights in a small scale- pan are attached to the stump. At first a man cannot feel when a weight of several hundred grammes is placed in or taken from the pan; at last he can detect the addition or subtraction of a few granomes — a blind man grows so sensitive in his stxmip that he can tell a weight lighter or heavier by only a gramme. One machine trains disabled fingers, which begin by moving a weight of one gramme and end by moving 1,500 grammes. Another, a " dynamographic " riibber bulb, educates, the hand in grasping power. Another, the " dynamographic platform," reveals in parallel lines on the cylinder six movements of a man walking 3 metres; that is, back thrust and right or left diversion of each leg. This enables an immediate and unquestionable test to be made of an artificial leg. Another machine trains a man to use a plane (without cutting- iron) with his left hand. At first his pressure with this varies every few inches — a bell rings if this exceeds 10 kilogrammes, and if he gets off the straight line by several centimetres at each side at each of which mistakes a warning bell rings. At last he can make 60 con- secutive strokes at normal speed with constant proper pressuoe at both ends of the plane, without touching the tell-tale bars at a distance of 2 millimetres on each side. War Documents . 945 So with filing. On parallel lines on the cyUnder are recorded the pressure on the work, the thrust and pressure of the right hand and the thrust and pressure of the left hand, one of the arms being again, of course, an artificial one. Thus a man is trained in accurate filing — always one of the most difficult operations in a workshop, and perhaps the best test of an accomplished fitter. Similarly, tests are made with a hammer, to determine the correct proportions of an artificial hand or arm for efficient hammering without jar. Incidentally, I may add, these cylinder records infallibly betray malingering. Thus an amputated man, or one with a member functionally disabled, passes through these three stages, until at the end he is a totally different person as regards his physical efficiency. First comes the sensitiveness of the stump. Originally so insensitive that a man cannot tell within several inches where it is being touched, and indeed often cannot feel a touch at all, the stump is at last so sensitive that in one case a man actually does basket work with his two arm stumps. This, of course, is but a curiosity; but it is absolutely necessary, for a man to use an artificial arm efficiently, that he should be able to exert varying pressure almost as well as a sound man. Then, after this training, and this exact knowledge of what physical and mental efficiency a man has, an appropriate artificial arm is supplied. And even at the risk of writing at too great length I feel compelled to describe the results achieved. I was shown a photograph of three men, with six of Professor Amar's artificial arms, dining at an open-air restaurant, surrounded by an astonished crowd of spectators. There is a crowd all day long at a butcher's shop in Paris watching a one-armed man cutting up and serving meat. Women, I am assured, smile at Professor Amar as he goes down the streets near the Conservatory, and say, " That's the man that gave my husband his arm back." Now for what we saw. Three one-armed men, two amputated high above the elbow, who are earning 8 francs a day as fitters, had come to the laboratory for our visit. While waiting, one of them had amused himself by turning on a lathe little brass shells as souvenirs, as well as any turner could have done. They were fully dressed, two had their steel hands showing and one wore a glove. Professor Amar offered one of them, amputated just below the shoulder, a cigarette, when I opened my cigarette case and was about to take out a cigarette to give the man. " Pardon me," he said, " I can help myself," and his st«el hand took a cigarette from my case with ease. Then he placed the cigarette in his mouth, picked a match from a box, struck it on the box in his sound hand and lighted the cigarette, holding the Ughted match in his steel hand. A second man, amputated below the elbow, put out his gloved hand and grasped mine and shook hands. The third, amputated above the elbow, took a small pair of dissecting forceps and picked up a needle from the table with them. Then I saw them turning and filing metal, drilling wood with a sensitive drill, etc. The motions of these hmbs are controlled, through straps and cords, by movements of the muscles of the chest and back. This method of control of articulated limbs is of course not peculiar to Professor Amar, and I am unable to say how his arms compare in efficiency with others controlled on the same principle. 946 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Professor Amar adduces these results achieved as his answer to the criticisms I have previously mentioned, namely, that men soon discard their expensive and complicated artificial limbs; that even directors of re-education schools tell you that such limbs are not of the practical value that was anticipated, and indeed that to expect men to use elaborate appliances is often to ask them to become " acrobats." Professor Amar declares it to be a sheer waste of effort and money to provide amputated men with artificial Umbs, without previously investigating scientifically their efficiency, and then educating, first the mutilated limb itself, and second, the man himse|f in the use of his appUance. " You must train a muscle," he says, "gradually in effort and speed." Given this re-education, he claims that a man with the smallest stump of an arm, and indeed to some extent with no stump at all, as in disarticulation of the shoulder, can be restored to considerable mechanical efficiency and the earning of an honourable livehhood. Of the men trained on his method Profesosr Amar says that 450 have gone back to work on the land, being able to dig, using an artificial arm. The average time stated to be necessary for complete re-education here is six months, which is no longer than is taken by re-education schools working on ordinary lines. Moreover, whereas in the other schools I hav. described, a very large proportion of men under training had lost legs and not arms, and their professional re-education was, therefore, comparatively easy, Professor Amar told me that the men whom he has re-educated were largely men who had lost an arm or hand, and whose re-education therefore presented the most difficult problem. Upon the grave issue thus in dispute I am not competent to decide. Whether the ordinary provision of artificial limbs is wrong, and Professor Amar alone right; whether the men whose astonishing performances we saw are really typical specimens of re-education; whether, therefore, a vastly increased efficiency may be conferred upon an amputated man, I must leave to experts to determine. But of the great scientific interest and importance of Professor Amar's work, and that of Dr. Camus and others in the same direction, there can be no doubt whatever, and this is freely admitted even by those who do not accept all his conclusions. Professor Amar gave me the following information, as proof that his method has received the approval of foreign authorities. An ItaUan military medical commission, headed by Dr. Gualdi, came to Paris three weeks after Italy declared war to study the whole question of re-education of the disabled and mutilated. After examination of the methods of physiotherapy and mechanotherapy, that is, in general, the Zander method (of which Professor Amar is a hostile critic), I am told they adopted the Amar system. The Queen is at the head of this movement in Italy, which has in consequence widespread support and ample funds. Therefore Italy will shortly be dealing with her disabled and mutilated soldiers on a thoroughly co-ordinated scientific system. Two schools are established at Rome, under Dr. Gualdi and Professor Delaverona; one at Milan (for which the Baroness Ottolenghi has given a miUion lire and a house) War Documents . 947 under Professor Galliazi; one at Bologna under Professor Putti; one at Naples under Professor Ferramini; one at Lucca under Professor Lucchese; and one is forming at Palermo. Several of these doctors have spent some time studying at Professor Amar's laboratory. From Russia, M. Petrovski, Minister of Finance, and M. Barck have come to Paris, and I am informed that orders have been placed for the equipment of 20 Russian centres of re-education on the Amar system. Further, delegates from Roumania will shortly proceed to study this system as established in Petrograd. In Austria, Professor Dr. Hans Spitz, as his 'jook " Unsere KriegsinvaUden " shows, has largely borrowed Professor Amar's method, which he calls " Arbeittherapie," and Germany has actually tried to get information and apparatus for it during the war. Professor Amar showed me a letter from Dr. Zunz of Berlin, sent to him in the envelope of a French prisoner of war, asking that Germany shoald be enabled to procure the appUances in order that they might be used for mutilated French prisoners. Naturally, Professor Amar con- tented himself with communicating the contents of the letter to the French MiUtary Intelligence. In France this system has been partially adopted at the Belgian re-education school at Vernon, and a school was established on January 1st, 1916, at Bordeaux, and is now moving into larger quarters, for men with amputated arms, under Dr. Gourdon, where about 75 are always under treatment. England, up to a short time ago, appeared to be ignorant of Professor Amar's work. But recently the officer commanding the Granville Hospital of the Canadian contingent at Ramsgate has been to Paris, and has ordered an equipment, and Dr. R. Fortescue Fox is endeavouring to procure apparatus for the Red Cross Physical CUnic in London. That is all. Not even an inquiry had been made, Professor Amar told me, until my visit, on behalf of the British Government. Thus the situation, as I am informed, is that, what- ever our enemies may be doing, our alhes will soon be dealing with this grave problem on definite scientific principles. I should add that the firm of Pirard & Coeurdevache, of Paris, who manufacture the various appliances, are quite unable, on account of so many of their men being in the army, to fill large orders without much delay. If an order were given from England it would be necessary to send to Paris several instrument-makers, accustomed to precision work, whom the firm would pay at the rate at present in force here of Is. 8d. an hour, or more if necessary. The cost of a complete single equipment of apparatus is under 400Z., and Professor Amar estimates that the total cost of a centre of re-education, to treat 3,000 amputated as boarders and 10,000 woimded Uviag outside, would be about 18,000Z. for the first year and 8,000Z. foi the second year. The cost of establishing the ItaUan centres has been less than this. After two years from the conclusion of the war the centres would no longer be needed for the re-education of disabled soldiers, but they would remain of permanent value as schools of scientific "professional" 948 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. — ^that is, industrial — apprenticeship. " The war," he says, " will be over, but industrial work, and the necessity for the scientific study and physical organization of it, will be with us for ever." Employment Bukeaus. The official Employment Bureau, which is under the Ministry of War, is situated at 95, Quai d'Orsay, Paris. It was opened in February, 1916, and the officer in charge is Captain Paul Billault, who has seen military service in many parts of the world, and was incapacitated for further active service by a leg wound in the present war. Circulars were sent out to all depots of men about to be dis^ charged, and to all centres of re-education, and posters were displayed in suitable places, inviting men to make use of the bureau, and to keep in touch with it even after they had secured civil employment. Its functions are being extended at the present moment by the establishment of a branch bureau in each of the 21 military " regions " into which France is divided — a " region " being the locahty of an Army Corps. Each branch bureau will be in charge of a wounded officer, and, on the occasion of my visit, a number of these were in conference with Captain Billault, learning his methods and profiting by his experience, in order that there may be one standard procedure throughout France. This extension had become necessary because Paris, from the point of view of finding employment, is " full," though, of course, many employers are keeping open the places of men who left them on mobilization. And it was soon found impossible to place men all over France by correspondence. In future, a man seeking emplojTnent will be passed on to the branch bureau in his own part of the country, and, when he is without means, free railway transport will be given him. When an applicant, having his army discharge, arrives, he fills up a form giving all necessary information about himself. This he takes to the medical officer in attendance, who examines the man and fills up on the back of the form a complete statement of his physical condition. The man is phyisically graded on a scale of 0-20, the zero meanlag that he is useless for any work and the 20 that he is fit for anything. (In practice, neither of these extreme figures occurs, since if the man were wholly unfit he would not apply, and if he were fit for anything he would not have been discharged.) The form is then passed on to the officer in charge, who interviews the man personally, and advises him — he can only advise and try to persuade — ^regarding his future, and if the- man is capable of doing a job, puts him in communication with vacancies in Paris or sends him to the O.C. Branch Bureau in the district where he belongs. A good many applicants, however, are useless for work without professional re-education, and these are strongly urged to enter one of the schools. The Bureau has received in seven months (to 1st October, 1916) 6,368 offers of vacant situations. The appUcants have numbered 2,776, and of these 2,126 have been placed. This is an excellent record, but since Paris, as I have said, is now " full," placing appUcants War Documents. 949 will be more difficult in the future. This Bureau, it should be said, has the most diflBcult cases to deal with, namely, those who have neither friends to go to, nor previous jobs to return to. Captain Billault told me he had advised 241 applicants to enter a school of re-education, as he could do nothing for them in their present condition. Of these, 183 acted upon his advice. What has become of the remaining 58? Nothing is known, but they must be living on their friends, on charity, or by picking up odd jobs. The same is true here as everywhere — ^it is comparatively easy to find a job for a man who has lost a leg, but difiicult to place one who has lost an arm. A large proportion of all applicants desire to become " fonction- naires," that is, to enter some branch of the Civil Service, in which a certain number of posts are reserved for disabled men. They consider that they have a special right to this. But I am informed that the con- ditions imposed by the State are more stringent in some respects than those of private employers, and that many xipplicants are unable to fulfil them. The Union of Foreign Colonies in France has also recently established an Employment Bureau at its head office, 11 bis, rue Scribe, Paris. This is managed by M. Murat, a Quartermaster in the French Navy, who lost his leg left at Dixmude, and has had in a short time 425 applicants on its list, of whom abou|i., 110 have been pro- vided with situations. Almost all these, however, were discharged men whose injuries did not prevent them from returning straight to their previous occupations, without the need of a course of pro- fessional re-education. M. Murat is himself an example of the non-use of an artificial limb. He has had more than one suppUed to him, but has discarded them after trial, and he continues to use crutches. The surgeon had advised him not to use a peg-leg, on the ground that this would result in the habit of moving his stump in a way to prevent him ultimately making proper use of an artificial leg. Strong and Weak Points of the French System. You asked me to state what I consider to be " the weak as well as the strong points in the French system." I can summarize my answer, after what I have already written, in a few words. The strong points of the French system are the deep and imiversal sympathy felt for the disabled soldier; the national determination to do everything possible for him who has done so much for France; the keenness of all Ministers and officials to spare no effort and overlook no channel of usefulness; the readiness of Parliament to provide ample funds; the high scientific and specialist knowledge that is being devoted to the subject; and the desire that every part of France shall be prepared to offer to the disabled man the opportunity to return physically and intellectually re-equipped to civil life. All these things evoke one's profound adniiration. The weak points appear to be the absence of effective and authorative co-ordination; the dispersioij of precious effort along parallel and even conflicting lines; the rivalry of different Ministries none of which is willing to be dispossessed of functions it has exercised 950 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. for a long time and which it regards as of paramount national import- ance; the retention by the inilitary authorities of some activities which appear essentially those of civil administration; the undecided conflicts of technical opinion; and the increased expenditure resulting from the foregoing situation. The lessons to be learned from it by ourselves are sufl&ciently obvious. Suggestions Regarding the Teeatmbnt op Disabled Soldiebs IN THE United Kingdom. You request me, in conclusion, to furnish any suggestions that occur to me during my inquiry in France, bearing upon the treat- ment of disabled soldiers in Great Britain. I therefore beg to submit for your consideration the following recommendations, premising only that as I have been in France most of the time since the beginning of the war, I am but imperfectly acquainted with what has already been done in England, and that therefore these recommendations may be in some cases superfluous and in other cases no longer possible of adoption. In the first place I would most strongly emphasize the necessity of absolute co-ordination of authority. This great task should not be divided among a number of already over-burdened Departments, with a multitude of uncontrolled private institutions working independently, along different lines, and often without specialist guidance. If such a system be allowed to grow up, then confusion, waste and inefficiency will inevitably result. The proper course would appear to be the creation of a Central Committee under the authority of a Minister with varied departmental experience, who would preside over its sittings when necessary, and would represent it in the House of Commons. But such a Committee should not be part of, or in any respect dependent upon, a particular Department of State. The membership of this Committee should include representatives of the War Office (preferably young officers with modern views, and readiness to assimilate new ideas) ; civilians with special knowledge of social reform work; one or more Labour and Trade Union representa- tives; aneducationist with special knowledge of technical training; an employer of manual labour; two women with special experience of the care of soldiers, and knowledge of this particular subject; represent- atives of the benevolent societies dealing with disabled men (such as the Soldiers' and Sailors' Help Society) ; and at least two scientific medical men who have made a special study of the problems of prothesis. All centres of surgical equipment and schools of re-education, whether official or private, should be subject to the authority of this Committee, and to secure authorization every institution should be required to follow the methods of treatment and training laid down by the Committee. The Committee should alone have the disposal of the funds suppUed by the Treasury, and would make grants to private and philanthropic organizations and to existing institutions, such as War Documents . 951 , polytechnic and trade schools, which would receive disabled men for technical training. These schools should be, so far as possible, employed in this movement. But the time to begin a man's re-education, it must always be remembered, is while he is still receiving hospital treatment. Training at polytectmic and similar institutions comes, of course, later. A limited number of Centres of Re-education, few and good, rather than many and less well-equipped, shoidd be established in suitable place;s to cover the whole of the United Kingdom. New training schools should not be allowed to be started haphazard over the country on private initiative. It is most important, as has been said, that in the official Centres medical treatment and industrial re- education should proceed side by side. These Centres would, of course, cease to exist more or less soon after the war, but at least two of them should be estabhshed in such a manner and in such places that they could remain permanently as centres of physiological research into industrial problems and scientific industrial training. It will be for the Government to decide whether in any acceptable manner, by mihtary authority, by conditions attached to the grant of pensions, by conditions attached to health or unemployment insm-ance, or in any other way, it can be secured that men receive industrial re- education before they return to civil life. Failing this, every possible persuasive effort should be made to this end, and to lead men to return to the trades and localities in which they were engaged before the war. As many men as possible should be trained in scientific agriculture and technical allied rural occupations. Men in hospitals for a long time near large towns naturally acquire a taste for urban hfe. There- fore it is of great importance that those who have come from the land should be transferred as soon as possible for training to country districts, where everything should be done to render agricultural hfe attractive. Disabled men should be discouraged from seeking in large numbers merely clerical posts. In general, the aim should be to re-educate men for their previous or a kindred employment, and especially to train those possessing the requisite natural aptitude to a higher degree of intellectuaUty than they had before their injury, that is, to become foremen, overseers, ^instructors, etc. Their previous employers should be consulted regarding such available posts, and the special quahfications reqiiired to fill them. Many a man may become better off, as regards wages, for his disablement — a result to be warmly -welcomed. All employment should be through the Employment Exchanges. Special conditions of health, unemployment and accident insur- ance should be created for disabled men returning to industrial hfe. The State should assume responsibility during a man's lifetime for the provision, repair and replacement of artificial hmbs and surgical appliances. One centre of n^anufacture and repair should be established, preferably in London, with a research laboratory attached, 15950—27* 952 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. to which all limbs and appliances would be sent for repair, and in every industrial centre there should be an advising and forwarding agency to which the men would apply when their appUances needed attention. Every man should b,e given, and required to retain, a book in which would be entered all particulars regarding his quahfications, disablement, appliances, employment, the training-schools in his locality, the appliance agency to which he should apply, etc. Pensions should be of two kinds, as in France. First, those of amputated men, and men with permanent functional disablement. These pensions should be divided into classes, according only to the nature of the invalidity. Once granted, these pensions should not be subject to withdrawal or modification for any reason whatever, and should have no relation whatever to a man's present or future industrial efl&ciency. A higher pension should be given for an arm-amputation than for a leg-amputation. Second, those of " functionally injured " men. These men should be subject to periodical medical exanaination, and their allowances, divided into several classes, should increase or diminish as their invalidity becomes greater or less. In all that is done for the re-education of the disabled soldier, it should, to avoid extravagent expenditure, be borne in mind that, with the exceptions before mentioned, the need for this will cease in a year or two after the conclusion of peace. Personal Acknowledgments. I have to express my special obligation to Monsieur Justin Godart, Under-Secretary of State for the Service of Health in the Ministry of War, to whose great organizing ability and devotion so much of the French success is due, and who most kindly provided me with all necessary official authorizations, and to Monsieur Albert Metin, Minister of Labour; and my warm thanks to Monsieur Andre Idoux, Chef-Adjoint of the Cabinet of the Ministter of Public Instruction; Monsieur Picquenard, Chief of the Cabinet of the Minister of Labour; to Professor Dr. Jean Camus, Chief Medical Officer of the Centre of Physiotherapy of the Grand Palais, and to Dr. Felix Allard, of the same service; to Professor Jules Anaar and Dr. Bouras; to Dr; Charles Vallee, head of the School of Re-educat'on of the Grand Pala's; to Dr. Bourrllon, Director of the Institute of Saint-Maurcie; to Dr. Kresser, Director of the School of Re-education at the " Maison Blanche"; to Dr. Quiserne, Director of the Zander Institute; to Captain Billault, Director of the Military Employment Bureau; to Miss Winifred Holt, of the " Phare de France "; and to many other persons for the courtesy with which they explained the details of their work.

Les eoldats mutil^s au service de la Patrie recevront de I'fitat une pension. Cette pension sera malheureusement insuffieante k leur assurer I'aisance nlcessaire, surtout s'Us Bont chefs de famiUe. Ce n'est pas la seule raison qui doit les determiner k reprendre leu: metier d'avant la guerre ou bien k en apprendre un autre que leur blessure leur permettra d'exercer. Que serait une vie oisive ? Miserable entre toutes. L'Etat, aidiS par les collectivit^s locales et les particuliers, a cr66 dans de nombreux d^partements des 6coles de reeducation oii, chauffe, logd, nourri, le blesse pourra rdapprendre en quelques mois un metier nouveau et remunerateur. Dans la plupart de ces ecoles son travail sera retribue au bout de quelques semaines, au moins pour certaines professions. L'apprenti admis k I'Institut professionnel n'est Ue par aucun engagement; il peut tou- jours, quand il le veut, renoncer aux avantages qui lui sont offerts et quitter I'etablmsement. II trouve k I'Institut professionel tous les renseignements, tous les conseils qui doivent redairer dans le choix d'une nouvelle carriere; il est libre d'aiUeurs de changer d'atelier si, aprSs un essai de quinze jours, il croit devoir abandonner celui oil il etait d'abord entre. Les chambres syndicales, de leur c6te, ont ouvert trSs larges les portes de leurs ateliers. Beaucoup d'industriels et de fabricants acceptent aussi de faire de la reeducation et donnent un salaire de debut. Ces diverses combinaisons permettent k tout soldat mutiie de faire une reeducation. Le metier qu'il aura reappris lui procurera I'aisance en lui assurant toute la dignite d'une vie dejd, honoree par le devouement et le courage dont il a fait preuve. L'apprentis- sage d'une nouvelle profession ne peut en aucun oas diminuer le montant de la pension de retraite k laquelle il a droit et qui lui reste enti&^ment et definitivement acquise, mSme s'il gagne un salaire superieur k celui qu'il recevait avant la guerre. Le dechet d'hommes qui sera, malheureusement, le resultat le plus cruel de la guerre, aura pour consequence directe et immediate I'augmentation de la valeur de la main- d'ceuvre. Un trfis grand nombre de soldats mutiies ou estropies demandent k apprendre la comptabilite dans I'espoir que cette etude leur facilitera Taccfes des Administrations de I'Etat et des grandes Societes et Compagmes. Get espoir ne sera pas souvent realise. Le nombre des emplois de ce genre n'est et ne pourra jamais 6tre qu'extremement restreint, en comparaison du nombre considerable des demandes; la plupart des candidats s'exposent i attendre un poste pendant des mois, pendant des annees, et, mfeme, k ne jamais I'obtenir. Que les invalides ne se laissent pas prendre k la seduction des emplois publics ou de ceux qui peuvent leur etre compares. Ces eihplois sont, pour la plupart, trfes mediocrement retribues. 15950—271* 954 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. La veritable s6curit6, ils la trouveront dans I'apprentissage sfirieux d'un metier suffi- samment r^mun&ateur qui assure d'une mani&re permanente leur existence et celle de leur f amiUe. Les invalides ne doivent pas se laisser effrayer par ce mot d'apprentissage qui peut f aire craindre une longue p^riode pr^paratoire de travail non T6m.wa.fyc6. II ne faut pas, en effet, comparer I'apprentissage ordinaire d'un jeune gar50n avec celui d'un h,omme fait, qui a naturellement acquis, avec les annfies, plus de s&ieux, plus d' application, plus d'habilet^ et surtout, plus de volenti. li^ La rapidity avec laquelle certains apprentis se trouvent en 6tat, au bout de quelques semaines, de gagner un salaire tr6s appreciable et qui crott au fur et k mesm-e de leur progrSs, est extraordinaire.

PmNCIPES KfiGISSANT l'aPPABEILLAQE BT LA K^fiDtJCATION DES MTJTIL^S DE LA GUEERE. (a) Appareillage des mutilSs. (o) L'appareillage des mutilfe se fait dans un des centres d' appareillage suivante: Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Montpbllier, Clermont-Ferrand, BouRGES, Nancy, Rennbs, Alger. (6) En sortant de I'hdpital le mutil6 a le droit de choisir entre le centre d' appareillage le plus prfes de l'h6pitai ou le plus pr6s de sa r&idence. (c) II doit sojourner au centre d' appareillage au moins pendant le temps n^cessaire k I'^tablissement de son dossier d'appareiUage. Pendant ce temps, on r^unit tous les documents n^oessaires k la constitution de son dossier de r^forme. En principe, il ne doit quitter le centre d'appareiUage qu'apifes que ce dossier a 6t6 6tabli et qu'il a iti pr6sent6 devant la Commission de r^forme. Aprte quoi, en attendant la liquidation de sa pension et I'allocation de son appareil proth^tique, le blesafi peut choisir entre les situations suivantes: — ou Tester au centre, ou partir chez lui en convalescence (U a droit, dans ce cas, k une allocation jour- nalifere de 1 fr. 70), ou entrer dans une ecole de reeducation professionnelle. Les appareUs proth6tiques dllivrfe par I'Etat aux mutil^s sont du modele arrfite par la Commission d'ortlic^6die et dont la description figure au cahier des charges. Ces appareils, 6tudi6s avec grand soin, sont de nature & pouvoir donner toute satis- faction k tous les points de vue au mutil6; ils sont au moins ^gaux aux modules qu'ils pour- raient trouver dans le commerce. Les amputfis du membre inf6rieur ont droit: — (1) k un appareil simple de marche (pilon rigide). (2) k un appareil articuie (jambe k verrou ou sans verrou). Les amput6s du membre superieur ont droit: — (1) S, un appareil de travail de secours (bras de travail simple). (2) k un bras articul6 comprenant un bras de travail et un bras de parade. Les mutiies non amputfe ont dgalement droit: — : (1) k un appareil de secours (appareil de travail). (2) k un appareil dffinitif . Les blessls ayant besoin de chaussures orthopddiques ont droit, sur leur demande et k titre de Ifere mise, k I'allocation d'un Soulier normal pour le pied sain. Le choix du module d'appareil qui doit 6tre allou6 au mutil6 est laiss4 k 1 'appreciation du Chef des centres d'appareiUage qui doit neanmoins tenir compte du d^sir ejqjrime par I'interesse. Quand le bless^, et le Chef de centre ne sont pas d'accord sur la nature de I'appareil k allouer, afin d'^viter des reclamations ulterieures, il est etabli un procfes-verbal signe par le mutiie et par le Chef de centre. Ce proces-verbal est garde dans les archives du centre; il peut en 6tre donne copie au mutiie. Livraison des appareils prothetiques. En principe les appareils sont livres au centre d'appareiUage. Dans ce but, si le blesse n'est pas reste au centre pendant le temps necessaire k la confection de son appar«l, il est convoque k ce centre pour essayer son appareil. L'essai a ete fixe k 8 jours pendant lesquels le mutiie doit porter son appareil afin de permettre de juger s'il est k sa convenance. Dans I'interSt du blesse, cet essai doit se faire autant que possible, au ^centre mtoe d'appareiUage. Pendant ces 8 jours, le blesse y est hospitalise aux frais de I'Etat. Si le blesse ne veut pas rester 8 jours au centre, il peut partir chez lui, et-emporter son appareil. II s'engage auparavant, par ecrit, k revenir au centre 15 jours aprte. Les voyages sont aux fr^is de I'Etat. Si dans les 15 jours qui suivent la livraison de son appareil, il ne s'est pas presente au centre d'appareiUage, il est considere oomme ayant accepte I'appareil sans observations. II perd ses droits il toute reclamation ulterieure. Afin d'eviter les retards dans la livraison des appareils, il est specialement recommande aux mutUes de repondre tr§s exactement aux convocations qui leur sont adreseees par les centres d'appareiUage. Tout retard dans la livraison, du k I'absence du mutiie convoque, ne saurait jamais 6tre mis au compte de I'Efcat. War Documents . 957 Reparation et remplacement des appareils. Lea blesses ayant besoin de faire rfiparer ou remplacer leur appareil doivent I'envoyer en port iO, au centre d'appareillage qui le leur a livr6. Pendant le temps nficessaire h, la reparation, ils se servent, soit pour marcher, soit pour travailler, de Tappareil de secours qui teur a kiA allou6. En consequence, ils doivent prendre leurs precautions pour que leurs 2 appareils ne soient pas hers d'usage en mSme temps. Quand la presence des mutiies sera jugee indispensable au centre d'appareillage pour le remplacement de leur appareil, ceux-ci pourront Stre envoyes par le Chef de centre; ils auront droit i, la deiivrance d'un ordre de transport. Des appareils ne seront remplaces que dans les limites de temps prevues par le cahier des chajges, exception faite bien entendu pour ceux dont la deterioration et la mise hors d'usage seront dues k une cause accidentelle.

[Not Printed.] Correspondence Relating to the Use of the Ross Rifle by the Canadian Troops in France. The FieldrMarshal, Commanding-in-Chief, British Army in the Field, tolthe^War Office. Geneeal Headquarters, 19th June, 1915. Sir, — I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of War Ofl&ce letter, dated 16th June, 1915,* regarding the action taken by me in the matter of the Ross rifles of the Canadian Division. 2. The circumstances are as follows: — I had heard rumours that there was a growing want of confidence in this rifle, as evidenced by the fact that the infantry of the Canadian Division were taking every opportunity of exchanging their rifles with those of the Lee-Enfield pattern from casuaUtes on the battlefield. 3. To satisfy myself whether there was any real justification for this state of affairs, without at the same time lending encouragement to the idea that the Ross rifle was unsatisfactory, such as might have resulted from an investigation by the Divisional authorities, I gave instructions for the assembly of a small Committee at my General Headquarters to test the rifle with the various natures of ammunition in use, including ammunition of Canadian manufacture, of which a small supply was obtained from England for the purpose, none having been sent out to this country for use with the rifle. 4. The Proceedings of this Committee were laid before me on the eve of a serious offensive operation in which the Canadian Division was to take part, and I was at the same time informed that over 3,000 or more than one-third, of the infantry of this Division had already succeeded in re-arming themselves with the Lee-Enfield rifle without any authority having been given for them to do so. 960 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. Looking — (1.) To the unanimous opinion of my Committee that the Ross rifle could not be relied upon to work smoothly and efficiently in rapid fire with any ammunition other than that of Canadian manufacture; (2.) To the fact that' no ammunition of this nature was avail- able in this country, and that sufficient suppUes could not be obtained from England, and (3.) To the want of confidence in the rifle which a large number of the infantry evidently felt, as evidenced by the fact that over 3,000 had, without authority, exchanged their rifles for those used by their British comrades, and taken from casualties on the battlefield; I did not feel justified in sending this Division into battle with the Ross rifle, and ordered the re-arming of the infantry of the Division with the Lee-Enfield rifle, which was carried out before they went into action on the 15th instant. 5. As regards the suggestion made by the Army Council that the opinion of one or two selected Canadian officers should be obtained, I submit that this is a difficult and complicated question which can only be satisfactorily settled by the best expert opinion, and that the views of a few selected Canadian officers, who may or may not be prejudiced in the matter, will not be of any material assistance. 6. I would therefore suggest that the Army Council should send to this country one or more of the most highly qualified experts obtainable to make the necessary tests under service conditions and report whether ammunition of British manufacture is or is not suitable for use with the Ross rifle. For this purpose a supply of am^nunition of Canadian naanufacture should be brought out for comparison. The Army Council can then decide whether, looking to all the circumstances, it is advisable to restore the Ross rifle to the Canadian Division. 7. In conclusion, I would observe that in my reports I have never condemned the Ross rifle, nor have I any sufficient data to justify me in doing so. I have expressed and acted on my opinion that, so far as I can judge, the ammunition of British manufacture is not suitable for use with the Ross rifle, and that there is a large and growing feeling of want of confidence in their rifle on the part of the men in the Canadian Division, which is amply justified by the report of the Committee. 8. Owing to the difficulty at present experienced in turning out rifles in sufficient numbers for our requirements, I shall most heartily welcome an authoritative statement which will carry conviction to the men that their apprehensions are unfounded, or what may possibly be found more easy of attainment, viz., a sUght alteration to the chamber of the rifle which will better adapt it for use with our British am- munition.

General Headquarters, British Army in the Field, 28th May, 1916. Sir, — I have the honour to infonn you that I have satisfied myself, after extensive inquiries carried out throughout the Canadian Corps, that, as a Service rifle, the Ross is less trustworthy than the Lee-Enfield, and that the majority of the men armed with the Ross rifle have not the confidence in it that it is so essential they should possess. The inquiry on which these conclusions are based was the outcome of an urgent application from a battalion of the 3rd Canadian Division for re-armament with the short Lee-Enfield rifle, in consequence of a high percentage of jams experienced with their Ross rifles during a hostile attack on the 1st May, 1916. 2. I am accordingly of opinion that the 2nd and 3rd Canadian Divisions should be re-armed with the short Lee-Enfield rifle. It will be remembered that the 1st Canadian Division was so re-armed on 12th June, 1915. 3. I am not in a position to effect this with the means at my disposal in France. I have the honour to inquire, therefore, whether the necessary number of rifles can be supplied from home sources, without interfering with or delaying the arrival and arming of the Divisions due from England and Egypt, on which I am relying.

Sir, — I am commanded by the Army Council to forward herewith a copy of a telegram received from the Governor-General of Canada, and to state that they would be glad to receive your opinion on the 962 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. points raised in it, together with the results of any tests carried out in France. The Army Council would like to be informed whether you consider the tests already carried out sufficient, and if not, they would ask that further tests should at once be made in order that there may be no delay in dealing with the question. I am, etc.. Enclosuee to No. III. Paraphrase telegram from the Governor-General of Canada to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. 6th June. Following from Prime Minister for Chief of General Staff, War Officer- Begins: — On account of rumoured dissatisfaction with Ross rifle I held a consultation on 15th May with General Hughes and sent unofficial message to Commander-in-Chief saying that we were prepared to leave the matter to his judgment after making all necessary tests of both rifles under such conditions as are experienced at the front. We suggested that the men carrying out the tests should be of equal experience. The Ross rifle is the only arm we are at present equipped to produce in Canada, and we believe it to be efficient if properly handled, but are content to abide by the Commander-in- Chief's judgment after thorough investigation and adequate tests. We realize the absolute necessity of two conditions, viz., (1) that our men shall be armed with thoroughly efficient rifles, and (2) that their confidence in such rifles shall be unshaken. Please favour me with your judgment as to the proper course of action to take. — ^Arthur. IV. The General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, British Armies in France, to the War Office. General Headquarters, 21st June, 1916. Sir, — In reply to your letter of 10th June, 1916,* forwarding a copy of a telegram, dated 6th June, from the Governor-General of War Documents . 963 Canada, I have the honour to inform you that the efficiency of the Ross rifle has been thoroughly tested by actual fighting in the field, and the appUcation conveyed in my letter of 28th May, 1916,t was made after very careful consideration of all the evidence available. 2. I have again consulted the General Officer Commanding Second Army, in case any fresh points have come to Ught dming the recent heavy fighting by the Canadians near Ypres. He tells me that his experience of the working of the Ross rifle during the last fight has only confirmed him in his opinion that the Canadians, in the 3rd Division at all events, have lost confidence in their rifle, and he recom- mends that the rifles in this Division be exchanged. 3. Although the reports from the 2nd Division are not to the same effect, I am of opinion that the Lee-Enfield rifle should be issued to all three Divisions of the Canadian Corps. I must, therefore, adhere to my reconamendation that the 2nd and 3rd Canadian Divisions should be re-armed with the short Lee- Enfield rifle, and I would urge that the necessary steps to give effect thereto be taken without delay. I have, etc., (Sgd.) D. HAIG, General, Commanding-in- Chief, British Armies in France. *No. in. tNo. II. V. The War Office to the High Commissioner for the Dominion of Canada. War Office, London, S.W., 3rd July, 1916. Sir, — I am commanded by the Army Council to forward for the information of the Canadian Government copies of two letters, dated 28th May, 1916, and 21st Jxine, 1916,* recently received from the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, the Armies in France, on the subject of the Ross rifle, the second of these letters being in response to a War Office letter forwarding to General Headquarters, France, a copy of the telegram, dated 6th June, 1916, from the Governor-General of Canada to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. 964 Department of the Secretary of State, Canada. It will be remembered that in June, 1915, Sir John French reported that he had ordered the re-arming of the Canadian Infantry owing to the two facts: — (1.) That the Ross rifle could not be relied upon to work smoothly with the ammunition then available. (2.) The want of confidence in the Ross rifle which a large number of the Canadian Infantry felt as evidenced by the fact that 3,000 of them had re-armed themselves with Lee-Enfield rifles taken from casualties on the battlefield. Subsequent to this an alteration was made to the rifles in existence and those under manufacture by which it was hoped to get over the defect mentioned at (1) In view of the opinion now expressed by Sir Douglas Haig, the Army Council agree with him that the efficiency of the Ross rifle has been fully tested in the field, and they have, after due consideration, approved his proposal to exchange the rifles of the 2nd and 3rd Can- adian Divisions for the Lee-Enfield pattern, and steps will be taken forthwith to carry out the exchange. I am to say that in the circumstances the Army Council hope to be able to utiUze the Ross rifles released by the troops in France, and also those now in possession of the Canadian troops in England, for other purposes connected with the war, but they would be glad if steps could be taken to stop any more rifles of this pattern being brought to England, it being understood that the Army Council would thereby make themselves responsible for supplying the necessary rifles to the troops from Canada on arrival in England, and they see no reason to doubt their being able to do this. I am commanded to add in response to the request contained in Sir George Perley's letter of the 26th ultimof to Sir William Robertson that, should the Canadian Government be desirous of undertaking the manufacture of a rifle of a different pattern than the Ross, and suitable for use during the present war, and wish for the Army Coimcil's opinion on this subject, it is thought that a rifle made to the same pattern as that now being produced in America for the British Army would probably be the best one to adopt. This rifle is on the lines of the Lee-Enfield, Mark III., but has had embodied in it many improvements which have been arrived at in connection with a new pattern rifle which the Army Council were about to adopt just before the outbreak of war.
